Mentoring GenText®

Welcome to ProForm U

Our Approach

We live in an “anti-failure” culture that pressures us to succeed but doesn’t value the required communication skills or provide the strategic roadmap. That’s where ProForm U® can partner with you. Our working relationship with clients is built on a foundation of honesty, respect and shared humanity toward one goal, your educational and professional personal best.

Elaine Rosenblum addresses our tech driven communications conundrum. She connects the words and dots to arrive at solutions to the many communication challenges her clients face—whether simple conversation, admissions or job interviews, a professional seeking a higher profile, raise, promotion or new job or an organization striving for productive collaboration.

We can partner with you in our Atlanta or New York offices, remotely via Skype or at your professional location.

“Elaine is a master at teaching others how to tell their unique stories, and her assistance in résumé building and interview preparation was priceless. Elaine has a knack for connecting with others and eliciting interesting facts about their experiences and goals for the future. My college age son worked with Elaine for four months and landed the job of his dreams.”

“When my alma mater asked me to submit a résumé and interview to join the board, I had not done either in 20 years. I was anxious to say the least. Elaine helped me edit my résumé, advised me to add crucial accomplishments valued by educational institutions and coached me as to positioning myself in an interview. I am thrilled with the results. Thanks to Elaine, I have reclaimed interview confidence and presentation skills from my previous professional career (and I was invited to join the board)!”

“Once again, your evaluations came back with high marks! The participants found your brand of negotiation engaging and a useful tool that they can make actionable immediately, both with outside clients and internally. I believe that because your training is grounded in honest, dignified conversations, rooted in integrity it particularly resonated with this group. They also appreciated your use of interactive exercises and movie clips as teaching tools. Again, thank you for a wonderful presentation.”
