What My Clients Have to Say: Because my clients bring their unique situations, problems, and creativity to the coaching, they receive coaching customized to their specific, individual needs: “Your coaching helps me surface and release my secret, negative self-talk, enabling healing, understanding, trust, and new possibilities in my closest relationships. You encourage and support me to be re-empowered, make major decisions, forgive, let go, and move on to my bigger goals.”—D. E., speaker “Your coaching helps me focus on a daily basis, stay on the mark with my goals, improve relationships at work, and become more authentic and forthright in my communications, powerfully transforming my personal and professional lives.”—T. M., manager “Your coaching is incredibly dependable and supportive. You are my measure of accountability and integrity. Your coaching was a wonderful experience; you knew how to play with the important goals in my life and move me towards them successfully.”—S. R., CEO “You coach me for my commitments even when I have lost sight of them myself!”—D. A., teacher “Working with you gave me a fresh perspective and energized my job search. You helped me ‘think outside the box’ and research alternative routes. In only a few sessions, my perspective on life balance and a sense of fun have returned to me after four years!” – G. D., division manager seeking career change “In only three months, your coaching helped me generate more clarity, new ideas and refresh my focus. The opportunity for non-threatening feedback and non-competitive sharing helped validate my ideas. By honing my listening skills and the ability to be with others, my company received the most significant piece of business yet from a nationally recognized retailer.” – W. D., entrepreneur “By steering me to address my work in smaller ‘chunks,’ utilize software tools, delegate to others so that they could contribute to me, and reduce my expectation that everything I do has to be ‘perfect’ (when ‘good enough’ is enough), you help me to focus, stay on task, manage an overwhelming workload, get more accomplished, and even have more time to enjoy my life outside of work.” –N. F., attorney “You helped me identify a problem I wasn’t even aware I had! You also assist me in invalidating those old voices playing untrue tunes in my head and still ruling my psyche, so that my authentic love and self-healing can resurface. You articulate and mirror back my utterings in new ways so that I can see more clearly into my soul.” –L. C., free spirit “In my second coaching term, things moved so much faster than I expected! My attitude improved by light years. For the first time in a very long time, I have a sense of happiness and belonging. You urge me to ‘have a plan, not to forget the plan, and stick with the plan.’” J. L., administrative vice president “By helping me to realize that I have a lot more to offer than I thought possible, to dream bigger, and to own my power, I was able to move in one year from not selling any real estate to top producer for our agency—from scarcity to abundance!” – M. S., realtor “With your coaching, I felt listened to and more peaceful, and I have developed more self-confidence.” – E. S., |
