TESTIMONIALS

“Jackie’s ability to foster a creative environment while giving excellent constructive feedback was exactly what I needed as a new coach. Not only was I able to learn more about the art of coaching, I was also able to observe myself within the coaching environment and see where my limiting beliefs were holding me back. I walked away from every one of Jackie’s classes as a better coach.

This was a fantastic learning experience. I recommend it for anyone that has questions about coaching or wants to gain a broader understanding of their skills.”

“You coached me to thoughts and insights I hadn't explored. Your coaching comments/critique on my coaching improved my coaching and at the same time raised my confidence - you have a gift. I feel that I will be coaching Martha and subsequent clients from a place of calm, assertive, and leadership energy thanks to your questions and comments.”

“The only way to become a better coach is to coach A LOT. Jackie is playful and nurturing and provides a safe space to go completely blank, get stuck in your client's story, lose your way and then--find your confidence to assert your own unique coaching style. You will leave the class with a sharper toolset and a renewed sense of the power of authentic coaching.”

“I wanted to send you an email of extreme thanks, gratitude, love fest, as I just got off the phone from Martha and I passed my certification.  I'm so thankful to you for the class you did as all the lessons from that class I take into each call with my clients and particularly today with Martha.
 
I don't know if you remember but in the first call I was very timid and was not leading the session.  Today Martha said that I had great instincts, clear leadership, and I passed with flying colors.  Your class is where I really learned to find my coaching leadership and the confidence to trust my instincts. So for that I am forever grateful.”

“I want to thank you so much for your awesome 6-week Square One Bootcamp. I took this class having completed my coaching training to help build my coaching skills in the lead up to certification and for my coaching practice. I could not even have anticipated how much I would learn and how much your course would really, truly help me. I learned so much about myself as a coach in a safe, professional and fun environment. At first I was timid and was not leading the coaching session. I was getting in my head and not trusting my instincts. In the most supportive and fantastic environment, I learned more about leading a coaching call, how to trust my instincts, what to do when I felt stuck, and how to coach in a style in line with my authentic gifts. I also learned so much by being the client and listening to the other wonderful coaches in the class. Your class is where I fine-tuned my coaching leadership skills and gained the confidence to trust my instincts, and that was reflected back to me in the feedback from my certification. I highly recommend this class, the whole experience was exceptional.”

“I worked with Jackie over a four- month period with profound effects. Jackie's steady lead and well-placed questions began to still the waters. I began to analyze my thoughts about the circumstances and experienced a paradigm shift in how I had previously viewed the problem within that context. This eventually led to a peaceful place of freedom...”

“I don't know how to begin to thank you for giving me back my life! When we started our sessions, I was feeling an overwhelming hopelessness, struggling with the demands of my job, serious family issues and worst of all, debilitating episodes of bad health (labeled as chronic fatigue syndrome) which allowed me, at best, up to a couple of hours a day to function in the world. I had lost everything that was important to me...the relationship with my family members, my will to work, my ability to plan for and execute social and business events. All of this in the context of almost constant physical discomfort with low-grade fevers, constant sore throat, achiness, headaches and a body heaviness that kept me glued to my bed. Now.......I have been able to 'welcome' whatever pain I am experiencing (learning that resistance leads to persistence!) and VOILA!, the pain disappears!

I have also learned to recognize certain 'thinking' patterns, my "stories", that limit and destroy the very things I want in life. Now, my body feels incredibly 'lighter' without a trace of the heaviness or depression that was overriding my physical condition. I am genuinely happy (don't have to have a "reason"!) and I am determined to continue on this path. It is like the curtain is opening to a bright new world full of so many opportunities...and I can't wait to try everything without the fear, doubt and depression that was controlling my life. My new motto about life is going to be 'Bring it on!'

A most heartfelt THANK YOU! for showing me the way!”

“Jackie helped me excavate some of my most deeply held, hidden beliefs and then challenged me to examine and question them in the light of day. The result was a fundamental change in my outlook and way of being in this world. Sometimes I think that I'm a completely different person these days! At the very least, I know that I'm a happier, wiser, more loving, and more peaceful person for having gone through the coaching process with Jackie.”

“Having Jackie listen to and evaluate one of my coaching calls was an extraordinary experience. Jackie's kind but honest and insightful feedback was right on target. She zeroed in on the problems I was having and offered solutions that have worked magic in my sessions! Her answers to my questions have guided me when I have been uncertain how to proceed. I have no doubt that my coaching sessions have improved and I am passing that benefit on to my clients. Jackie also highlighted positive aspects of my coaching, which has encouraged me to continue with what I was already doing well. I am definitely a better coach because of this experience! Thanks, Jackie, you are awesome!”
