Success Stories – Meeting People Where They Are
I was privileged to coach a nonprofit executive who was losing credibility in the organization because of her impatience and often demeaning leadership behavior. She was told by the CEO whom she reported to that she needed to change these perceptions if she was going to be successful in her role. I worked with the client to gain awareness through stylistic assessments and to identify and experiment with new behaviors. During the duration of her coaching program, she was able to broaden her portfolio of leadership behaviors and greatly improve perceptions of her leadership style. Eventually she left the organization and became the successful CEO of another nonprofit entity.

Tamara served as my executive coach while I was in career transition. She has a very warm and welcoming personality that made it easy to connect with. She guided me through a structured process including personal assessments, branding & marketing, networking and job search strategies. During my transition she regularly checked in regarding status, offering her assistance and providing counsel and advice. She has a knack for knowing when to ask the appropriate questions and when to just listen. Her coaching and mentoring helped me through a challenging time. I greatly enjoyed working with her and she was definitely a strong asset for me. I highly recommend others leverage her expertise.
