Michael Cymbala - Certified Mortgage Planner, Coltrain Funding Groups
As a certified mortgage planner, Michael evaluates a client’s full financial picture, ensuring they receive the best mortgage product for their short- and long-term goals.
Many people in the mortgage industry focus on three things - Products, Service, and Rates - while leaving out key ingredients of success: VALUE ADDED ADVICE and HIGH-TRUST EDUCATION. There have been more changes in the industry within the past four years than the past 40 years. Educating homeowners and future homeowners on the wide variety of programs that banks offer is key in finding the best plan/product/payment for each client.

Marc Miller - Executive Coach. Marc Miller Coaching
Marc Miller, Ph.D. is an executive coach working with organizational leaders and professionals on Long Island, New York. His coaching focuses on providing organizational executives, professionals (attorneys, accountants, engineers, etc.), business owners and leaders, and organizational teams with the tools they need to achieve their specific workplace/career/personal goals. Marc utilizes his understanding of people’s unique strengths and challenges to coach his clients to develop greater self-awareness, which is the key to making the changes necessary to improve their effectiveness as leaders.
Among the professionals who Marc has coached successfully are people whose work focuses primarily on technical areas of expertise, including engineers, IT professionals, and accountants. These professionals often also have work-related responsibilities that require them to manage and lead direct reports and teams, as well as to interact well with external and internal clients. The fact is that many professionals in these technically-focused occupations, while excelling technically, often are at a disadvantage when it comes to interpersonal, emotional intelligence, and people management skills.
When coaching members of this group of professionals, Marc’s knowledge and understanding of people, together with his empathy and respect for each client’s unique qualities, create a safe and supportive “learning environment” in which the development and strengthening of role-specific capabilities can take place. The result is a more well-rounded and complete professional, who is not only technically proficient but also interpersonally competent and qualified as a manager and a leader.
In addition, Marc also provides divorce coaching and divorce mediation services.
Marc has a Ph.D. in Psychology from Adelphi University and a Professional Coaching Certificate from the Professional Coaching Program at the Zicklin School of Business/iCoachNewYork, Baruch College in New York City. He is currently the President of the Long Island Chapter of the International Coach Federation (ICF-Long Island). He is also a facilitator for TAB (The Alternative Board) in Nassau County (Long Island).
