With Jill's supportive coaching style, I was able to talk through tough issues effecting my life. She helped me to gain insight, build confidence, and flip bad messaging. Her ability to actively listen, provide positive feedback, and practical exercises really help me to clarify my next steps for healing myself. I can honestly say I feel like a new person after my 3 sessions with her. Jill is kind, understanding, empathetic and that reflects in the quality of her coaching.

Jill is an outstanding coach, who listens well, processes complex information, and helps develop agile solutions. Most importantly, Jill provides tools and a framework for the client to help themselves and learn, which is something I found extremely useful.

As a new Executive Director, I felt overwhelmed by the demands of my role. Lacking previous leadership experience, I struggled to manage relationships with both clients and board members, and I found it difficult to strategize effectively across so many areas. The transition from my previous position was challenging, and I often felt like I was spread too thin. Coaching with Jill was transformative. She helped me clarify a path forward in the areas that had previously caused me the most stress. By providing a sounding board for my ideas and helping me strategize, especially for our upcoming board retreat, Jill guided me in focusing on the topics that would have the greatest impact. This process not only shaped the retreats agenda but also informed our organizations overall strategic plan. Key Benefits & Achievements: Strategic Confidence: I gained confidence in my action plan and my ability to prioritize and address key issues. Effective Communication: With Jill's support, I was able to successfully present a sustainable business plan to the board - something I was previously unsure about. Peer Engagement: I learned the value of engaging in focused discussions around tough topics, which encouraged me to seek out meaningful conversations with my peers. Practical Advice: An unexpected benefit was Jill's experience in hiring remote workers - her practical advice helped me avoid common pitfalls in this area. Whats Possible Now: Thanks to Jill's coaching, I not only achieved my immediate goals but also developed leadership skills and confidence that have had a lasting impact on my career and my organizations direction.

After each session with Jill, I felt much clearer about what I needed to do. Talking things out with her helped me organize my thoughts and figure out what was truly important. Jill's way of listening and giving feedback helped me let go of some worries and focus on real solutions. She encouraged me to try new strategies and when I felt stuck, our meetings got me moving again and made tackling challenges a lot less scary. Jill's coaching gave me motivation and practical steps to get things done. Most of all, her perspective and guidance helped me sort out my thinking and stay on track. I really appreciate the time and effort she put into each of our meetings.
