Working with my coach has been instrumental in helping me navigate a variety of unique career challenges that took place during a time of unprecedented business and economic disruptions. Thanks to her, I was able to develop a vision of what success looks like, increase my confidence, and become a better leader. Executive coaching wasn’t something I realized I needed until I experienced the transformation it helped to build.

The concept of leadership coaching was somewhat new to me when I began working with my coach at the Leadership Development Institute. After one session I knew it was a career long commitment. My coach has helped me understand better ways to communicate with colleagues and customers. He has challenged me to look inward and be better. He has provided me with balance, perspective, guidance and counsel. It has truly been a personal epiphany for me and a career changing part of my life.
