Read Emily's story
You always remember your first client. Emily was a Senior Manager at a publishing company in New York City – the big leagues. Though her title and salary reflected success she wanted more. She wasn’t accomplishing what she wanted to accomplish. Emily and I worked together for 18 months until one day she said “I quit my job today”. As a result of our weekly conversations, action plans, pushing and pulling, explorations of new ideas and insights, Emily knew she wasn’t where she should be and so she took the leap. I now get an email every year from Emily updating me on her current successes and happiness with her new chosen career. Together we had created a path that lead her to more meaningful and rewarding work. Emily’s story reflects what is common in all my clients – they want and deserve more (more responsibility, self-satisfaction, money, time, etc) and they are willing to invest in themselves to get it.
Overextended?
Learn to better balance every day demands from work and home. Be your best in all aspects of your life with a personal coach as your guide.Read Deb's story
Why is it so hard to ask for help? We seem to have to “bottom out” before we take action and create the change we need in our lives. After my second child was born I knew my demanding work schedule would not be sustainable. I would be less than I could be in both work and at home. So I researched the “hot topic” in the early 90s of work/life balance and got up the muster to present my alternative work schedule case to the CEO. It wasn’t a quick and resounding YES but I never worked a traditional schedule again – and as a result both world’s got the best of me. My story reflects what is common in all my clients – we want and deserve more (more responsibility, self-satisfaction, money, time, etc) and are willing to invest in ourselves to get it both world’s got the best of me.

“Why doesn’t he ever understand the point I am trying to make. We always seem to butt heads on every topic. We see the business through different lenses”. Chris was tired of fighting the fight with the CEO and she knew something had to change. Sharing meeting dynamics with her coach helped her to develop new successful approaches. One suggestion - approach the meeting with the perspective of “Make the CEO right” instead of preparing for battle and assuming he is wrong. Look at the challenge through a different lens and see how the conversation changes. And boy did they ever. Over time, Chris became an essential member of the inner circle, garnering support from the CEO and the rest of the Senior Management team.
