Rosemary M. Monahan

Rosemary's contagious enthusiasm for innovative career counseling and career "redirecting" clearly shows in her leadership of SSP's Deerfield office. A transformation specialist, Rosemary has a talent for helping individuals rediscover talents and rekindle lost dreams, and creatively develop them into new careers. And if a career change isn't appropriate, Rosemary helps individuals find creative ways to maximize talents and realize dreams within the context of their current career.

Rosemary leads our quality initiatives. She is very well suited for this role, drawing on eight years experience providing career management services and quality leadership for an international career transition firm.

Rosemary has also built career and management development processes for a national healthcare organization, and directed the HR function for an engineering consulting firm. She has written numerous career programs, and has extensive experience in recruitment, assessment and coaching.

Rosemary has an MA and BA in English from Arizona State University, and has been a featured speaker and workshop presenter at Northwestern, Purdue and Loyola Universities. She is a master trainer and facilitator in career transition seminars.

"To do what we really want to do takes self-knowledge, and an honoring of all that we are and can be. It takes courage to step out and say ‘this is who I am now' and not be constrained by the shoulds of the past or expectations of the future. And it takes confidence and faith to "start-over" when conventional wisdom says leave well enough alone! At SSP, we are privileged to encourage individuals to discover their uniqueness, identify their passion—and go for it!"
