FOUNDING PARTNERS
The OCL Group started as a collaborative working arrangement among Raj Chawla, Scott Brumburgh, and Mark Addleson. Mikaela Seligman joined as a founding principal when their working relationship was formalized as an LLC.
Mikaela and Scott now each consult on their own.
Scott Brumburgh
 A founding principal of the OCL Group, Scott Brumburgh's first career was in environmental management, with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. He has been an organizational consultant and executive coach since 1986 and now consults to government agencies as well as to businesses and non-profit organizations both in the United States and internationally. Scott is a Master Certified Coach with the International Coach Federation. His coaching typically enables participants to achieve a deeper sense of self-centeredness for supporting personal change, breaking out of ineffective thought patterns and habits that limit options for change or new action. Scott's coaching, training and organization transition programs better enable management and staff to re-shape their future, determine their highest comparative advantage and then develop the capacity to change their operations as needed.
Scott can now be reached at sbrumburgh@aol.com
Mikaela Seligman
 Mikaela co-founded The OCL Group in 2006 because effective, results-oriented leadership development and coaching -- that included both head and heart -- was rarely available to the people who would use it best to benefit the most.
With OCL, Mikaela helped clients see and confront the competing belief systems, assumptions, and outdated habits - inside themselves and their organizations - that stood in their way. The challenges of the modern workplace can wear away any organization's creativity and focus. When the mission is confronting educational inequity, institutional inertia, or the generational effects of poverty, the opportunities to get stuck multiply. Mikaela's clients learned effective methods to find the right questions and hold the difficult but necessary conversations. The impact was measurable and significant:
"Mikaela was able to facilitate the right conversations with our staff so they could see the critical stumbling blocks as well as the openings for action."
"I see the difference in not only how we work, but how we see, talk and think about what is "the work." I can honestly say that our leaders are learning to lead with more awareness and greater capacity the next time."
"As a result of tackling the hard questions head on, the organization was able to focus on what mattered and take action to move our work and the organization in the direction we needed to go."
