Cohen and Rabin are frequent speakers on the career reentry topic and are regularly quoted in the national press. Cohen and Rabin are both Harvard Business School graduates and relaunchers themselves; between them, they have nine kids and they each returned to work after multi-year career breaks before writing Back on the Career Track and starting iRelaunch. They understand each phase of the "relaunch process" first hand.
