Success Stories

• CEO of 50+ property management company: I now live from my core and determine how I want to act, be, and live through clarity of communication and expectations. At work, I let go of excessive control, hired staff to support my role as the CEO, delegated responsibility, and learned to hold myself an others accountable. The result has been less stress, more time away from work, and increased clarity on my role and that of my team. Our firm is growing in ways I never thought possible made possible by the combined vision of talented people, all motivated, accountable and working to their potential.
• Manager, High Tech company: I have learned to choose a balance for myself that brings peace, joy, strength, passion, and expands my capacity. The results are everywhere around me; increased satisfaction in work, relationships, and a great sense of fulfillment in my life.
• Author, speaker, group facilitator: BJ coached me to be as strong an advocate for myself as she was for me. She held me in my most powerful iteration as I worked to understand, and then implement, what it would take for me to become my most powerful self.
