Mars Venus Coaching Global President and CEO is Stepping Down to Resolve Legal Challenges

April 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Mars Venus Coaching, a global coaching organization, has announced that its President and CEO, Richard Bernstein, will be stepping down to address legal charges that have been filed against him by the Nevada Attorney General’s office.  

The charges relate to his involvement with the unfolding of a business venture that dates back to 2007 and well before Mr. Bernstein’s association with John Gray, Ph.D. and the Mars Venus Coaching organization.  The Mars Venus Coaching organization has not been named by the Attorney General’s Office.  Mr. Bernstein has denied any wrongdoing.

Dr. Gray, the founder of the Mars Venus phenomenon and the Mars Venus Coaching organization, has expressed his full support for Mr. Bernstein.  “We have a high degree of respect, love and caring for Rich as a coach, mentor and friend.  We wish Rich and his family the best during these difficult times.  Our sincere hope and expectation is that Rich is exonerated from these charges and can return to lead Mars Venus Coaching as soon as possible” said Dr. Gray.

“We are confident that once the truth comes out, the charges will be dismissed in their entirety,” says Dheeraj K. Singhal, a Mars Venus Success Coach and California-based litigation attorney.  “Rich has been the unfortunate victim of his former business partners, who by misrepresenting information, have persuaded the Attorney General’s office to take up a matter that should be handled in civil courts, if anywhere.”

Mars Venus Coaching is actively searching for an interim management team to run the day-to-day operations.  While Mr. Bernstein takes time to address his legal issues, he will continue to provide support to existing coaches and the new management team, which is expected to be announced shortly.
