SUCCESS STORIES!

My focus is on helping people find solutions and offer strategies to intrinsic goals as well as offering expert skills training.

My partners usually come to me in search of skill-based solutions to conquering their fears in public speaking, interpersonal communication, interview, changing careers, and riding a bike.

But they also come to me knowing that the issue is more complicated than skills alone.

They know their solution will also involve addressing emotions such as anxiety, confidence, nervousness, insecurity.

So we start there. As the program progresses we move into skill building.  One step at a time. 

My partners have called this the inside-out approach or building the foundation using a whole-person approach to coaching.

A wonderful Catalyst Partner of mine comes to mind…

We'll call her Rhonda. 

Rhonda was in IT and preparing for a job interview. She reached out because she had gone through many interviews in the past but had no idea why she wasn't getting any offers. In our first session, during the initial assessment and mock interview it was immediately clear that Rhonda was not able to connect with her interviewers. Her verbal and non-verbal communication skills were minimal and her responses were too short. She also was not able to concentrate during the mock interview due to her overwhelming nervousness. We addressed all of these areas during her program and she committed to completing the homework that I offered and the custom techniques that I taught her. She not only received one but ALL three job offers! She chose her top choice. Way to go Rhonda! 

Another wonderful Partner comes to mind...

​

We'll call him Tom. Tom reached out to me to help him overcome his fear of bike riding. He had ridden as a child yet by adulthood had developed a fear of falling and of biking. Our first lesson, it was clear he was nervous and very hard on himself. With practice and training, he was committed to using the relaxation techniques I had taught him. Tom overcame his fear of falling and learned how to ride a bike. (Although Tom had several lessons with me in-person practicing, the techniques I shared with Tom for relaxation and stress-reduction are the same strategies I have used myself and have shared with my public speaking and interview partners for over 14 years helping them overcome anxiety and nervousness.)

​

We’ll call her Alice. Alice reached out to me because she was having difficult communicating and connecting with her supervisor of 7 years.

The situation had escalated and she found herself feeling insecure on a regular basis and at odds, often engaging in conflicting communication.

When she met with me the first time, the relationship had deteriorated into distrust.

As we began our process, Alice was determined and committed to doing whatever was needed. She knew the issue was about communication but also about her emotions...

At those early stages, what was needed was her honesty with herself and her willingness to look at her part. She was willing to do both.

Because of that, she was committed to the self-reflection and homework that I suggested.

She began to build her own feelings of self-worth and confidence through self-compassion work. Gradually, Alice was able to extend that compassion to her supervisor.

She began to practice the suggested communication techniques I offered and in time began to rebuild the trust between her and her supervisor.

From Alice’s reports and updates, the trust was being rebuilt on both sides.

Her success was a combination of her doing the work, her commitment, and her willingness to recognize that communication skills are much more complex than skill building. I’m so proud of her!

While Alice’s success is very personalized to her, I have helped hundreds of other partners over the years reach their own personal and professional success.

Another wonderful Catalyst Partner comes to mind...

We'll call him Jim. 

Jim was a supervisor at a large non-profit organization. Each week he was required to give an update at the leadership team meeting. Often he would speak as little as possible, and tried not to be noticed. Jim initially reached out to me for help with professional public speaking and communication. Although his primary goal was to communicate with more ease, his secondary goal was to increase confidence in himself, and to learn strategies for reducing nervousness when speaking up. He had ideas but never shared them because of fear. Through the course of the program with me, Jim committed himself to reducing his negative self-talk, identifying his beliefs about himself and others, and doing things everyday that helped him face his fears. By the end of the program, Jim had established himself as a vocal and contributing member of the leadership team. He knew his ideas were valuable not because others were telling him so, but because he had built his internal confidence and he came to know his own worth. Go Jim!

And...

My Catalyst Partner who we will call Frank. Frank reached out to me initially for a dual program in Interview Preparation and Communication Training. He was interviewing for various positions out of state and had decided to leave his current employer in search of an environment who appreciated him more. In our first session, we strategized that the approach that would serve him best to complete first was the Communication Training. During our partnership, we honed in on the Frank's intrinsic goals of self-compassion and confidence. I shared communication strategies for Frank to use in his current position. Through Frank's diligent commitment to utilizing his strategies, he began to notice a deeper connection with his colleagues and supervisor. Within two months, Frank was elated to tell me that he had received a promotion at his job and had decided to stay and would not need the interview program afterall. Happily communicating and connecting with his colleagues and his employees, Frank is doing great! He offered me the feedback that when he started he didn't realize the issue had to with him, with what was going on inside himself, but the program and my approach helped him to make lasting changes and he is now excited about communicating with others at work and looks forward to opportunities to connect.

It is my forever honor to do this amazing work with my partners. I am so grateful to be able to help people find peace, find compassion, and find confidence in themselves.
