Client confidentiality is vital for establishing a successful coaching relationship. However, with permission of a few clients, the following comments provide just a few examples of how coaching has helped others.
Being passed over for a major promotion was hard to face, but coaching helped me take an honest look at how I was being perceived in the organization — and how I was contributing to creating those perceptions. Coaching helped me clarify my goals and set out a plan to reposition myself within the organization. In just six months, I was promoted to a senior-role in one of our fast-growing divisions. And with the help of my coach, negotiated a nice 30% increase in salary.
Coaching has helped me be more successful – and much more quickly than if I were doing things trial and error. I’m in a very visible senior management position, and don’t have time to stumble. With coaching, I have someone who is focused solely on my success. I get honest feedback and hard questions and that helps me avoid business or career landmines before they happen.
I absolutely hated all the corporate politics when I went from being a producer to a manager. My stress levels were at an all-time high. Coaching helped me learn the real meaning behind pick your battles, and helped me put things in perspective. Now, I actually find some of the political dynamics interesting and even fun at times – especially now that I’ve decided to play to win.
A regime change in my department created a difficult work environment for me. I initially contacted Jodie to assist me in planning a job search. Her guidance not only helped me organize my search and negotiate my next job, but she taught me valuable strategies for buying myself time and strategically exiting my current employer. I quietly accepted a job with a new employer while successfully negotiating a significant severance package from my existing employer. And to think I was just going to resign.
Jodie took a timid, unfocused and undisciplined person (myself) and has showed me the path to strong, effective, service-based leadership. Myself and my entire organization are indebted to her coaching abilities. I would not be half the leader I am without her expert guidance and advice.
Jodie helped me recognize skills I use intuitively and bring them to the forefront, thus aligning personal and professional goals together in a seamless fit. She helped me articulate my vision to different audiences. Thank you Jodie.
If there was one phrase I could use to describe Jodie and her services, it would be “life changing.” I was introduced to Jodie through Women In Technology and the way I view my life and career has been forever transformed. Jodie allowed me to see strengths I didn’t know existed as well as helped me focus on areas that needed more attention. She serves as an excellent coach and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a way to reinvent themselves career-wise and personally.
Is it too dramatic to say that Jodie changed my life? Introducing me to Emotional Intelligence was the secret to why I wasn’t more successful. Working harder, better and faster was not the answer, but it wasn’t until Jodie that I really learned how true that was. Since starting to work with Jodie, I’ve gone through a learning and growing process that I didn’t think was possible at my age. Now I’m starting a dream job that I always thought was impossible. Thank you!
