Medicare Prescription Drug Program Seminars

The new Medicare Prescription Drug Program is a very detailed and confusing program containing significant pitfalls for those who enroll incorrectly.  This seminar provides a general background on Medicare, highlights the most inmportant parts of Medicare Part D, identifies the primary classifications of coverage and describes how to use the web-based drug comparison tool.

Eldercare Advisor to Senior Management Teams

The most likely employee group to be dealing with eldercare responsilities is the senior management team.  These are the individuals who need to focus on the business and whose talents cannot realistically be replaced on a temporary basis.  Even short-term absenses can negatively affect a company's performance.  Esther Koch is available to provide Encore Management's eldercare advisory services to those individuals who comprise a company's senior management team.

Having been the CFO of public, private and start-up companies, Esther understands the responsibilities and stresses that senior managment must endure.  In addition, having managed large employee groups herself, she can provide guidance on how to effectively manage a workforce that will be dealing with increasing eldercare responsibilites.

Product Development/Distribution/Marketing

With strategic marketing and operating experience in consumer product, service and retail companies, Esther Koch is available to provide consulting services to companies that are developing products or services targeting either today's senior or their boomer children.  She understands the needs and preferences of these two groups of customers either as individuals or as influencers to the purchase decision.
