Testimonials
Claire pushed me when I needed it, asked thought-provoking questions, and guided me through what I wanted to explore.
The whole coaching experience allowed me to discover and learn about myself in ways that had me set new directions without worrying about the end ‘product’.
I am now very clear about what I want, I’ve cemented a career vision and I feel confident moving into new areas and opportunities.
Claire takes time to find out what we need to accomplish – we always get there and get more than we expected.
What she really does is take Meta concepts and help us understand what they mean and how they apply to us in a tangible and real way.
We always leave sessions with Claire having grown as a team and knowing that we are part of something that is professional, important, and supported.
While the initial engagement was about strategic planning it was also about team building for the board members.
Claire got to the core of the issues and board dynamics quickly and was adept at determining the needs of the board including the nuances associated with both long serving and new members.
We came away with the board functioning more as a team. Board members were all on the same page, resulting in clear strategic directions for the organization.
Coaching
It’s about discovering and owning your presence – how you choose to ‘showup’ – as an individual, as a leader, as a team member.
Coaching is a co-created exploration that supports you as you uncover, step into, and sustain your best self.
Consulting
Consulting services provide you with a thought partner – someone to collaborate with when addressing and exploring how you will deepen your social impact.
It means creating a confidential place to gain strategic insight, explore learning and development opportunities, and create tangible approaches that support sustainable, equitable choices.
