Marcia LaReau

Marcia LaReau Founder, President, Career Strategist:“I believe that people are responsible for the outcomes of their career. With so many people available for only a few jobs, a career strategy is critical to winning a job that fits.

Forward Motion was founded to bring career strategy to jobseekers and that’s why I am committed to meticulous, up-to-date, ground-breaking research about every aspect of the ever-changing hiring practices—to create a purpose-driven workforce—one person at a time.”

Dr. LaReau’s background includes Bachelor’s and Masters degrees in Music and a doctorate in adult education.

Her career includes 15 years as a college teacher, 12 years as an orchestral conductor, 10 years in the corporate sector as a Project Manger, Learning Technologist, and HR Director. Now she is an entrepreneur – building a business from the ground up. She is living proof that all of our life experiences and formal education evolve into a set of skills that can lead us to enriching, rewarding work experiences. Some we may never have imagined probable or possible.

Marcia’s background in the fine arts, education, and executive leadership inspired her to take Forward Motion from idea to reality. In the years preceding the economic uncertainty of 2008, Marcia was truly a visionary – busy developing a viable business whose time was about to come.

Today, Dr. LaReau is sought after as a inspirational speaker and for her insights into the U.S. job market. She can be heard regularly throughout Connecticut on the Business Buzz (Friday, 4PM, 88.1FM).

She has spoken as Keynote Speaker for Information Systems Security Association of Connecticut and the Connecticut Library Association Annual Conference.

The Forward Motion business model combines a focused job search method and personalized coaching to minimize the time to hire and elevate success rates. Blending her creativity and refined analytical and communication skills, Marcia’s passion and drive have created a unique hands-on and virtual business that accommodates international clientele.
