I’ve worked with Donna Coles for a number of months. I began working with Donna to improve my leadership skills and improve my people skills such as learning to collaborate with subordinates. Donna Coles has also helped me improve my planning and goal-setting skills and my ability to stick with a new idea despite the roadblocks. She asked targeted questions to help me clarify my niche in my industry. Her coaching has been invaluable.

Donna Coles has helped me expand my approach to employee group difficulties that were occurring within my organization. Ultimately, I’ve improved my engagement with employees and I am better able to motivate them to reach the organization’s goals. In order to accomplish those goals, as its CEO, I needed to get stronger in reaching win-win outcomes. And there are other improvements from coaching, such as becoming a better listener. With Donna’s coaching I’ve learned how to more quickly diffuse organization-wide uncertainties. I lead my organization’s greater respect for differences.

I’ve worked with Donna Coles intermittently for a number of years and continue to work with her today. She is a genuine and knowledgeable coach. She helps me sort out issues with my business and helps me focus on what’s important. As a result, I see situations more clearly. She gives great advice and consistently helps me move my career, my business, and my life in the right direction. I trust her knowledge.
Will, Business Owner, Cleveland OH, 2019
We hired Donna to make a general assessment of our company. Her communication skills are superb and she used them to quickly familiarize herself with our business and staff. I was pleasantly surprised by the enthusiastic reception she received from the entire staff. In a matter of only a few days she understood our business and identified several areas for improvement. We have implemented most of her recommendations. Our staff has embraced the changes and built upon them. Donna has the experience to recognize problems, the knowledge to suggest practical solutions and a remarkable ability to break down all barriers to communication.
Daniel, CEO, Houston, TX, 2013
Donna Coles has been my professional coach for the past 5 years. Over that time she has coached me through starting my own business and ultimately landing a key leadership role at a top 5 hospital in the US. She plays a vital role as I continue to grow my influence at my organization. Currently, she is helping me refine my leadership skills, expand my impact by more effectively utilizing resources, and refine/prioritize my career goals.
Dennis, Manager; Cleveland, Ohio, 2016
Thank you Donna! Within 15 minutes of my first coaching session with you I experienced immediate clarification regarding my business and the direction that I want to take. We are just getting started with our sessions but I can already tell that you give the “tough love” that some of us need as we embark on our entrepreneur journey. Thank you. I look forward to more insightful and productive sessions with you!
