Testimonials

 
I reached out to Donna to help me navigate the growth and expansion of my leadership skills and discovered so much more. Donna's coaching really helped me discover more about myself, my core values and the type of leader I am. I feel unstoppable and empowered as I step into the next chapter of my life.
— Stacey Berrigan, Chief Executive Officer, Olivine Health Network
Donna is a world class coach that made me feel comfortable about sharing the challenges I’ve been facing in this journey as a first time CEO. I initially engaged her to work through feedback I had gotten from the team. Working with Donna allowed me to focus on the fundamentals to grow from that valley. It turns out it was an opportunity in disguise and she helped me see that. She always had a wiser perspective than any other I could think for all the situations we discussed. I feel blessed for working with her.

Donna is not the first Executive Coach I have worked with, but she is the most effective and helped me to truly drive to a measurable outcome. She is an outstanding Executive coach with a proven approach to helping Executives get clear on their “why”. Donna connected to nuances that I didn't realize were influencing me and challenged me to dig deeper to create a vision of the outcome I was striving for.  She effectively uses the tools in her kit bag so that even the savviest Executive can gain value.  Donna shifted me from limiting beliefs like “it is too late to start over” to a vision of an Executive with a lifetime of experience that brings wisdom and grace to the boardroom. To get there, Donna challenged me to embrace the uncertainty I felt about my vision and helped me to create the clarity I needed to believe I can live life on my own terms.

She has an unmatched executive background that she draws from, coupled with unique methods that really helped me break down barriers to let me live up to my full potential. I highly recommend Donna to any executive or company looking to get more out of their career or executive leadership team.

I think of my coaching journey as a mountain I had to climb.  As a novice climber, it's hard to know what gear to get, what tools you need, and how to build the grit and confidence to get to the top. 

Donna worked with me to help me understand my strengths, what fuels me to grow, and what might be holding me back from reaching my full potential. Her caring and action orientated approach has allowed me to open new doors in my career and set me on a path I’m excited about.
