      About Marceia Cork

      Marceia Cork

      UE ID: ZQZYZQUA5PQ6, MBE/DBE/SBE (Maryland)
      SHRM, HRCI, PROSCI® and Grief Recovery Method® Certified, 

      I’m Marceia Cork, The Change Coach!® I am a certified change practitioner, human resources consultant and grief support specialist. I offer innovative and customized change and enterprise support to teams, businesses and educational institutions, and group and executive coaching to people navigating personal and professional change.

      With this collective expertise I am also able to develop and deliver B2B solutions and creative services like custom assets and activations, because navigating change and communicating change go hand in hand. Whether you’re a small business representing your brand, or a government agency conveying impactful program or process changes.

      My flagship service offerings are my eIT™️, which infuses emotional and compassion-centered practices into change processes, and RTO: Return to Office™️ change support program, a highly customized environmentally- and industry-focused program series that changes attitudes and behaviors toward hybrid and on site work, and eases the transition to returning to in-office and work-from-work environments. Sessions and support highlight the resourcefulness of in-person communication and social connection, exchange of creativity and ideation, and in-person relationship-building.

      For keynotes, corporate events, and trainings I deliver my signature talks, like “Surviving the C.R.A.S.H.™️” integrating my Good Grieve framework. I help high achievers and executives pinpoint the mental, emotional and physical impacts of elevated stress–and burnout–using approaches demonstrated within the C.R.A.S.H. acronym. My proprietary, sensory-based “Mineful” MetaTation™️ is equally popular among corporate clients. Read on for additional information about these and other talks and immersive experiences.

      Grief- trauma- and culture-informed, my unique approaches to change solutions have been featured in/on The Boston Globe, ESSENCE, Forbes, FOX and more.

      Let’s work together to create a customized change or enterprise solution for you or your organization.

      Marceia Cork is also the founder of The Change Coach Presents™️—a multimedia brand of books, programs, exercises and live events that are grief-, trauma- and culture-influenced.

      Signature Talks:
      My keynote speeches and moderated sessions include:

      surviving the c.r.a.s.h.™️

      Great for: Leaders and high-achievers in high-stress environments, who have experienced burnout or are at risk for burnout.

      To “crash and burn” is a widely-used phrase used to describe the dissension from a high-energy or other favorable environment to a mental or physical space where we feel “down” or “low”. The concept is very often used when discussing stress and burnout in the workplace.

      C.R.A.S.H. is an acronym and methodology for maneuvering the highs and lows in stressful environments and situations. The conversation presents disenfranchised grief along a continuum of identified coping strategies; reflection on past stressors and regrets; awareness of the impacts of past stressors; and then healing and transformation.

      In this talk, Marceia helps organizations and employees assess their position and condition at the intersections of personal and professional grief, change and transformation to heal from or avoid stress and burnout.

      Great for: Leaders and high-achievers in high-stress environments, who have experienced burnout or are at risk for burnout.

       

      “mineful” MetaTation™️

      Great for: Socially responsible companies expanding their mental and emotional wellness programs and resources with creative, holistic programs. 

       “Meta” is a prefix that means self-referential. In its most basic use, meta is defined as “a subject in a way that transcends its original limits, considering the subject itself as an object of reflection.” Marceia Cork’s “Mineful” MetaTation™️ is coined as such because she has participants visualize meditation–as they meditate.

      Within her proprietary Good Grieve framework, visualization and “Mineful” MetaTation™️ address triggers, memories, and distressing thoughts. Psychology theory tells us how engaging the senses is key to changing behaviors and attitudes. In this talk Marceia integrates the five senses—hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch—into the practice, fostering new impressions of trauma or life events. Together, participants broaden their perspective of their life events.

      Rather than suppressing thoughts, the mind becomes a space for surrender. Marceia teaches participants how to apply “Mineful” MetaTation™️ techniques and develop mantras that align with the changes and transformation they desire.

      Thairapy™️ live!

      Great for: Beauty partners who normalize and destigmatize mental and emotional support by likening them to the salon and barbershop experience.

      THAIRAPY is an award-winning, immersive series that uses the intimate client/stylist relationship to demonstrate the healing and restoration that can come with expression to a confidante—such as a grief support specialist, or therapist. Participants share their grief story in an environment that replicates the rejuvenative salon experience–testimonies of self-love; needing restoration from past hurts; repairing what’s missing in our lives, relationships and friendships; effective communication and conflict resolution; and self-actualization.

      H.A.I.R. is an acronym and methodology for guiding the experience along a course of healing through expression; awareness of the impacts of past stressors; creating new impressions on the mind; and ultimately staying the course through reinforcement and accountability measures. Marceia uses the very familiar experiences and conversations we will eventually experience—in our stylist’s chairs—as a bridge to mental and emotional health and awareness.
