Since working with Colleen EVERYTHING has changed.  I left a relationship that was less than I deserved.  I started making my home my sanctuary.  I turned around a lifetime of procrastination.  I became clear about what makes me happy and how to turn those choices into decisions to create happiness.  Nothing about me is the same.  I am amazed at the leaps I am capable of taking today!
My professional life is on track. I am studying for my LMHC and I will start my business in the near future. My personal life is full and on track.

I knew Colleen was the coach for me when I hired her.  She is extremely warm, approachable and direct when needed.  Because of her skills and the tools she uses, I have received so many more benefits beyond my original intent.  That is why I have continued working with her and will continue.

Working with Colleen was like holding a mirror to my actions and feelings.  It forced me to see how my words and deeds impacted others.  Colleen doesn’t miss much.  She has a wonderful way of reflecting back and picking up on the most subtle nuances in my voice, tone.  She really heard what I was saying and equally important what I was not saying.  This really brings the coaching to a much higher level and makes it even more meaningful.
When I first hired Colleen I was in the throes of menopause and didn’t realize it.  I felt incredibly anxious, vulnerable and had long bouts of insomnia.  My professional judgments were clouded and it was impacting actions related to my job. 
Now, I have learned to step back and analyze how my words/actions will impact others.  I am much more accountable for my actions.  My boss and I have bridged huge gaps in our relationship.  I am excited for my future and am transitioning from my full time job to the next phase of my professional career.

I conquered the fear of failure working with Colleen.  Working with Colleen allowed me to slow down, be present and explore, reflect, and look at myself in new ways.  It was safe from a trust standpoint, and yet Colleen pushed me when I needed it.  She could see more for me than I could for myself at that point.
I discovered how to take IN every moment both the good ones and the hard ones.  I gained confidence and now I get to decide what success is for me.  I took my personal power back.  Now, I am very clear on my values and of the choices that I make daily and ensure those choices align with my values.  Clarity on values gives me the ownership for the life balance I needed.
Colleen believed in me and I am now a certified coach myself.  I am successful in my role, working on more global projects.

Colleen is very powerful.  She is compassionate, warm; she challenges you and is behind you through it all, cheering you on.

Working with Colleen was one of the most productive experiences of my professional growth. I was challenged with professional acceptance, professional identity, and most of all being a victim of professional bullying.

Colleen is such “the professional” knowing just what I needed to accomplish during each session to make it productive and she pushed me through when I wanted to stay in a non-productive place.

I have changed my standards for what is and is not acceptable to me. I can identify and evaluate challenging situations more quickly and can make a more deliberate decision on how to execute the decision based on Colleen’s coaching techniques.

I have chosen to leave my job, have moved to Florida and am looking forward to my next professional venture. I am very comfortable with this decision because of the personal growth and self worth that I developed through Colleen’s sessions.
