FEATURED JOBS
Executive Coaching
MarsVenus
We know you are investigating a job site, and a very good one at that. BUT THIS IS NOT A JOB. This is an opportunity to get out of the corporate rat race, and start your own business. In this economy, why would you merely look for another job anyway? Why would you ever want to rely on an employer again? After all, even the best intentioned companies can commit to you one day and lay you off the next. That’s just the way it is. Also, why invest so much time and sweat equity in someone else’s business…making them the big bucks? Where’s the
upside in that? Why not invest in yourself… in your own business? Now is the perfect time to do just that and Mars Venus Coaching could be the perfect opportunity for you.
At Mars Venus Coaching, we are seeking highly-qualified, driven, passionate business people and leaders to become franchisees of their own business/executive coaching practice. We help businesses thrive in any economic climate. But, thanks to the recession – more and more businesses, executives and CEOs need the help of a coach. That’s why the business coaching industry is at an all time high, and continues to grow!
• Mars Venus Coaching was founded by Dr. John Gray, the world’s leading authority on personal and professional communication, success in the workplace, and wealth creation. Dr, Gray is a highly sought after celebrity speaker and author of 16 best-selling books, including Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, Mars & Venus in the Workplace and Why Mars & Venus Collide.
• The Mars Venus name opens up doors. It’s a true brand; with over 50 million dollars having already been spent to develop high awareness and a distinctive point-of view… a perspective that says that effective communications and sound relationships are at the heart of most business and personal issues, and gender differences can have a significant impact on communications... with business partners, employees, co-workers and spouse/significant other.
• Our coaches build their own practices - but they're not alone. Supported by corporate leaders, the Master Franchisee, training programs and mentoring opportunities, they have access to the resources, products and assistance they need to help their clients and build their practices.
• As a Mars Venus business/executive success coach, you’ll have a complete toolkit of programs to offer your clients in the areas of:
o Leadership
o Emotional Intelligence
o Profiling
o Team Building
o Time Management
o Customer Service
o Selling to men vs. selling to woman
• Unlike ordinary business consultants that have expertise in a certain area and provide their clients with solutions and then walk away, a Mars Venus business/executive success coach teaches and draws out of the client the best solutions and then holds them accountable for taking the actions necessary to succeed. In other words, consultants merely give their clients “the fish”, while coaches teach their clients “how to fish”, and then hold them accountable every step of the way.
• The International Coach Federation defines corporate or executive coaching as "a process for equipping individuals and teams with the tools, knowledge, and opportunities they need to be creatively productive and effective in their commitment to themselves, their organizations, and their work." We proudly support this definition.
• A Mars Venus Success Coach can be contracted by organizations to coach executive personnel individually or in a group setting, or they can be directly enlisted by executives and owners for coaching in specific areas.
A Mars Venus Success Coach can effectively assist any corporation or executive who is looking for answers to succeed in these difficult economic times.
If you’ve been thinking about becoming a business/executive performance coach, stop just thinking about it! Take action. This is your chance to see whether you have the qualities to own your own business and be our next successful business coach.
Cash requirement of $35,000, for more information, visit our website: www.marsvenuscoaching.com

Envision Schools
Six Positions

2.) School Office Manager - Envision Leadership Prep
3.) Tutor - Envision Leadership Prep
4.) Administrative Assistant - Envision Leadership Prep
5.) Tech Coordinator - Envision Leadership Prep
6.) Vice Principal, Student Services - Envision Leadership Prep
To view job descriptions and to apply for these position, please click here
BACKGROUND
Envision Schools Colorado (ESC) is a new nonprofit charter management organization (CMO), the first in Colorado, which will ultimately operate a network of six schools in the Denver metro area. Our CMO is based on the successful model and track record of Envision Schools, a CMO based in San Francisco that operates four high schools in the Bay Area. The first two ESC schools will be located in the Denver Public Schools (DPS) district.
The mission of Envision Schools Colorado is to transform the lives of all our students, especially those who will be the first in their family to attend college, by preparing them for success in college and in life. Our schools will be true communities marked by intentional diversity, rigorous academic discipline, and excellence at every level.
Compassion and high expectations will inspire and empower our students to succeed. Each Envision school is academically rigorous and integrates art and technology across the curriculum to instill the critical thinking, life experience, and creative skills necessary for students to be successful in college and beyond.
Our first school, Envision Leadership Prep, will open in August 2009 in the Park Hill neighborhood of northeast Denver. The second ESC school (“Envision Prep #2”) will also be located in an area of Denver that has been traditionally underserved. Locations for the remaining four schools remain to be determined but will be in metro Denver districts. Each school opens with ~100 sixth graders and ~100 ninth graders and will increase by two grades each year until the fourth year, when only sixth graders will be admitted. At capacity, each school will serve ~700 students in grades 6 through 12.
As a CMO, we are committed to allowing principals and teachers to focus on instruction and learning and to removing many of the administrative burdens often placed on school leadership at single-site charter schools. To this end, we will maintain a central support team who will provide comprehensive services to the network of six schools, including professional development, assessment and use of data to improve instruction, curriculum development, charter acquisition, and back-office services such as payroll, benefits administration, fundraising assistance, facilities acquisition, human resources, and technology set-up and maintenance.
