Turner McNabb Consulting

Testimonials

Dr. Turner’s services were very helpful in assisting Centuria Corporation conduct a significant lay off.  Her advice and guidance enabled us to minimize the impact to the remaining staff and return to a productive footing much more quickly than we could have done on our own.  In particular, the preparation she facilitated with the management team ensured our plan of action was comprehensive and the leadership was much more capable in its execution.  Dr. Turner understands the corporate culture and was able to frame her counsel in terms of our business model – ensuring our actions made sense on an individual and organizational level.  We continue to engage Dr. Turner and consider her a corporate resource.

Our company had grown a lot and we were facing many HR related challenges such as, a poor new employee selection process, staff turnover & inconsistent management practices representing a threat to our continued business development. Kiban Turner helped us identify the root causes of those challenges and develop a talent management strategy aligned with our corporate goals. Also, she actively helped us recruit an HR head to execute that strategy.  The entire executive team and I particularly appreciated  working with Kiban.  She is smart, easy to work with and effective.

Dr. Turner's knowledge and experience are unparalleled.  She helped me turn what could have been a career-ending situation into an opportunity to advance.  She's good.  Real good.

I approached Dr. Turner with quite a bit of cynicism. I had plateaued, then burned out, and stuck in a rut. Furthermore, a coach? What on earth would she do that friends and hours of soul searching hadn't done for me? Well, I was wrong. Dr. Turner has the ability to make you step back, see the bigger picture, have a little faith, and take a big leap. It took all of three meetings for me to realize I had the courage to make big decisions, and two more to execute a plan - I quit the job, parked the guilt, floated my own business, took personal risks, and have been happier for it. I highly recommend Dr. Turner to anyone wondering what's next or how to get where they want.

I sought career coaching with Dr. Turner because I was considering moving to another city. We started there, but we eventually explored many aspects of my life, from my job, to family, to the fears and hopes underlying day-to-day experience.  I learned from Dr. Turner what really motivated my superiors and co-workers and how to deal with it; I learned to understand many of my own reactions, assumptions, and needs  and how to keep them from undermining and defeating me.  I gained insight and learned strategies—especially for leadership.  My view of myself, my career, and my life became more realistic and positive.  My time with Dr. Turner was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.

Kiban Turner of Turner McNabb Consulting was a great help in helping me crystalize my career changing analysis and job interview preparation focus.  She skillfully went through interview scenarios and help me define skillful versus unhelpful responses to interviewer questions.  She went through other strategies in trying to impress potential employers.

The bottom line is with Kiban Turner's help I was able to secure a job at twice the salary I was currently making.  I would heartily recommend Kiban Turner and Turner McNabb Consulting for anyone seeking a professional job.
