Molly Tschang helps senior management and their teams to "Win As One." She belongs to a rare breed: tough enough to advise CEOs and company boards, while being empathetic towards the human costs incurred when talent is not allowed to shine. Across more than 80 mergers and acquisitions, Molly has adeptly guided management teams through the human after-effects of intense changes.
She guides leaders to commit to each other's success as they navigate complex internal environments. To bolster organizational capability, she established Say It Skillfully® Inc. This initiative addresses the single most impactful area of growth: interpersonal communication. Molly is on a mission to empower people at all levels to communicate skillfully and authentically. She believes that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and understood on their most important and challenging topics. Achieving this enables each individual to contribute to an authentic shared reality, enhancing both work and life for everyone.
What Molly’s clients say about her work:
Open, Transparent, High-Performance: We went from a siloed, mis-aligned, underperforming executive group and company to operating with a high degree of vulnerability, transparency, alignment, and commitment to each other that I know is rare. This is easily the most connected highest performing team I’ve ever led or been a part of, all because of Molly’s coaching. Without Molly, we wouldn’t be the cohesive team we are, thriving through the hardest of times and emerging stronger. And as a result, we’ve delivered exceptional business results. Her ability to guide us (often without us realizing it), help us see blind spots, and finesse sensitive people dynamics is extraordinary. - CEO, America’s Thrift Stores (PE-owned)
Revealing the Power Within: I went from trying to resign (really running away) to empowering myself to ask for what I need and succeed on my terms. Molly helped me see how I am the steward of my own destiny —to powerfully speak my truth and take action professionally, and even more impactfully with my family, which was a gamechanger. Molly is a rock star in my life. - Global VP of HR, Minitab (Data Analytics)
Authentic Leadership: Molly compelled me to “not bring my surrogate to work” and rather to lead as my true self. And this changed everything. I freed myself to be authentic, so that my team felt empowered to use their voices. This resulted in meeting or exceeding our numbers 20+ consecutive quarters—through market downturns and layoffs—consistently a top performer. - Vice President, Cisco
In addition to her coaching, Molly hosts the popular "Say It Skillfully®" podcast and video series. She is also a TEDx speaker. Molly serves on the boards of several privately-held companies, the Cornell Engineering College Council, and Community Solutions, the 2021 recipient of the $100 million MacArthur Foundation "100 & Change" award, recognized for its efforts in accelerating an end to homelessness. In her downtime, Molly enjoys playing tennis, practicing yoga, and cooking with family and friends.
