-CEO of consulting client
"I am so thankful to have you as my coach! I have learned so much from you. The notes and references are my handbooks!"

"I think that this retreat empowered (us) to consider having a more concerted effort to focus on strategic and board focused topics."
-member of board from a strategic focus retreat
"What I enjoyed most during our interactions was feeling like you really heard me! You understood what I needed to ask of my team before I even had it articulated in my own thoughts. Then you gently, but firmly, held me accountable to letting others take responsibility to free me to do what I really need to be doing for the organization."
