About Switzer Associates

Switzer Associates Leadership Solutions has devoted itself solely to the study and practice of leadership development and providing key executive resources since 2003. Our Founder and CEO, Dr. Merlin Switzer has had a passion for leadership for more than 46 years. Executive coaching, assessments, team building, and leadership development programs are an integral part of the services we offer.

Our calling is to come alongside executive leaders who are serious about transforming their leadership. We believe that with the right commitment, leaders can profoundly impact their business and personal life. We serve as a catalyst to help facilitate that change through customized executive coaching, assessments, engaging training, tailored team building, and assistance with an array of strategic processes that move leaders toward achieving their goals. Our experience tells us that a blend of these approaches works the best and may involve other leaders in their company.

We focus on long-term relationships where we have the opportunity to understand each unique leader, their business culture, and the roadblocks they may be facing on the path to achieving great success. Change rarely happens overnight though we have witnessed a significant impact from just one coaching session.

Switzer Associates Leadership Solutions provides essential services to executive leaders, their teams, and businesses. Serving both small and mid-size businesses, the business leaders we assist come from a broad spectrum of industries, such as:

  • Business and Information
  • Finance and Insurance with a niche in working with CPA firms
  • Government with an emphasis on police and fire organizations
  • Legal
  • Engineering
  • Transportation
  • Construction

Each is faced with its unique challenges and motivations for growth. Additionally, a portion of our business is committed to coming alongside Christian business leaders.

We are proud to mention that historically, over 90 percent of requested work has been returning clients or referrals. We have established a track record for upholding the highest quality in customer service.

What our clients are saying…

I had the pleasure to work with Merlin Switzer throughout the last year on a city-wide initiative consultant project, more specifically for recruitment training at the Bridgeport Police Department. This training took place on March 24 and 25, 2010 at the Bridgeport Police Department Training Academy.

Mr. Switzer is very professional and he takes extreme pride in the services that he provides. I was able to assess his performance in the classroom and in other settings, and he was a keen ability to relate to the class participants. He goes above and beyond to ensure that each individual understands the concepts of his curriculum and he approaches learning in a patient and effective manner. It was a pleasure to work with Merlin, and the officers he trained formed the first ever recruitment team in the history of our department. This team, guided by the educational and practical training taught by Mr. Switzer, was able to recruit 2,200 candidates for our current class 25 recruits.

I highly recommend Mr. Switzer to provide instruction for all levels of police training. He has a wide array of instructional methods which include PowerPoint presentations, facilitated discussions, and small group activities. The quality of his handout material was remarkable and the class benefited tremendously. I have also attached a copy of his class evaluation for your review.
