Helping me see that I already had what I needed
I want you to know just how much I appreciated your encouragement in helping me to see that I already had what I needed in order to do the work I felt called to do. Your question - “what is standing in the way of you doing what you feel called to do right now?” - continues to be a helpful guiding question.
Great excitement and confidence
As we worked on my OTM, It was fun to tease out answers and real questions of "where is your joy and why" it gave me great excitement and confidence!!!!
Joy and intention
The joy/intention with which you come to each session is always appreciated. I always know that whatever mess I bring to our session, you will have another way of looking at it that has cleaner lines that guide me to seeing things differently. And by cleaner lines, I mean ones with creativity and color that make everything better.

Persistent encouragement
At our very first coaching session, you encouraged me to apply for a Lily-funded sabbatical, and to silence the voices (and colleagues) who said it was too much work and very difficult to be selected. That conversation began a year-plus long discernment. And I GOT IT! Helen, all of this came about at your persistent encouragement.

Transformative, challenging, and insightful

Praise from Life Transitions and Career Change Clients
Helen's coaching helped me land a fantastic new job.
After decades of church work, Helen helped me see how my skills translate to other sectors and gave me the confidence to go for jobs that I previously thought were not possible for me. She helped me see myself from the perspective of the hiring team and coached me to speak about my experiences in a way that allowed me to showcase my abilities. I couldn't have gotten there on my own - Helen made it happen for me!

I want you to know how significant it was to connect with you.
You provided me with a brave space to articulate, dream, plan, strategize, and take a bold step to leave a career that was no longer nourishing. I have been writing a whole new chapter of my life this year.

A warm and inviting coach
Helen is a warm, inviting coach who is skilled at creating a safe space for me to explore my "why". Through her coaching, I've been able to connect the dots on various facets of life. Helen's coaching gives me the confidence to keep trying and moving forward and I learn more about myself."

Inspired and empowered
Thank you so much for your questions and guidance that focused me to create such a practical, motivating action plan. I’m just amazed that I came to you completely overwhelmed and mystified how I could manage this three-month life-changing process I’m undertaking. And after just 45 minutes talking with you, I was inspired and empowered to create a logical, practical, detailed plan to make it happen. There’s the timeline, the task details, the other responsible parties, the milestones. Now I can stop worrying and start doing! You are gifted and skilled at what you do. I’m glad I'm working with you.
