Client Comments:

Rhoda N. (physician leader - major job change)

"My discussions with Bonnie make me see the fullness of my capacity. The questions she asks cause deep reflection that has led to new insights. The mingling of my spirit, soul, job and passions is as natural as flowing water.

Most surprising though is that I find the time to do the things she suggests. I am learning accountability to myself for my thoughts and actions by doing this in the coaching relationship."

Ben L-B (environmental consultant)

"Years ago, when I first became aware of coaching, it seemed to me self-indulgent and unnecessary. After all, successful self-motivated people are, well, self-motivated. With a few more years of perspective and awareness under my belt, coaching still seems self-indulgent, only now it is both wonderful and necessary.

There are few things that have supported my personal professional development as well as a cheerleader who asks tough questions, examines underlying motivations, and challenges me to grow. I have grown and I am better for it. Thank you for launching me into my next phase….I am forever grateful."


Is Coaching for You?

My coaching clients are value-driven, ambitiously seeking to be the best they can be — and might be temporarily stuck. They know challenges can be opportunities; they want to grow. If you are a person who wants more out of life, are psychologically healthy and open to new learning, coaching may benefit you.

Consider coaching if you are looking for:

Work of Your Own — Coaching for women and men in major career transitions. Find fulfillment in your work life and live in alignment with your personal values. Especially helpful if you are…

  • leaving an organization (or have left)
  • changing industries or professions
  • starting or struggling in your solo practice or small business
  • seeking alternatives to the 'business as usual' lifestyle
  • seeking more balance in your work and personal life
  • in 'corporate recovery' - unlocking the golden handcuffs to addictive organizations, whether you stay or go.

Leadership Coaching - Just-in-time coaching for leaders facing new business challenges and/or who have limited formal training or experience in the art of managing people and/or projects. Coaching emphasis is on communication skills and creative problem-solving strategies. Especially helpful for…

  • Physicians
  • Attorneys
  • Engineers
  • Academics
  • Artists
  • Any leader who tends to think…"if I wanted to be a leader I'd have gone to business school."

Consider Coaching If You Are...

  • In a career slump or redesign phase or entering a new profession or organization.
  • On the edge of taking a big personal or professional risk. Curious and adventurous (and perhaps slightly scared).
  • An organizational leader facing new opportunities and challenges on the job. You'd like a personalized, fast-track head start toward success.
  • About to undertake a major project and looking for structure, encouragement and critical feedback.
  • Interested in improving your "people skills" - seeking better relationships with colleagues, bosses, clients and customers.
  • A mid-lifer who is interested in renewing and redesigning your life - "working to live, not living to work", or bringing what's been on the back burner to the front of your life.
  • A young or not-so-young adult who is weighing a difficult career/life choice or transition.
