Coaching Gets Results!

	One client, having successfully landed a dream job with Disney got his foot in the door in a function that wasn't his first choice. He desired to get into another department within Disney. Coaching him through this, he was able to accomplish the move within 6 months. He did so by not only doing a great job in the position he was in, but more strategically by networking and intentionally meeting managers in his desired department.
	Another client was frustrated in what seemed to be a dead-end job in a large high-tech software company and was considering leaving her company of 8 years. Before the year was up, she not only got her desired job but also received stock options as one of the company's fast-track executives viewed as having Senior Executive talent. She has successfully mapped a career plan and has made subsequent moves to place her in leadership roles... all with outstanding reviews. She has worked hard to adapt some personal behaviors that polish her executive talent and the sky is the limit within her organization.
	Another client wanted to have more time with her family, but still earn her six--figure corporate income. She is now doing just that by cutting ties with a large hospital system and working as an independent consultant. Through coaching and hard work, she has formed alliances and has exceeded her income expectations. She has the best of both worlds, work and family. She now is able to get to school events and sport functions with her son, a sure win-win for hard work and a plan that paid off.

Over the years, I have coached, mentored, and partnered with Gerri. Her HR experiences have given her a strong and deep understanding and compassion for the complex issues and goals of organizations and executives, which is a tremendous asset. Having trained over 1000 coaches, I can confidently say that Gerri has demonstrated very powerful engagement, collaborative and supportive skills, as well expanding and challenging skills, which makes her a tremendous coach. She has a strong sense of self, a great sense of humor, a strong business and result focus, and excellent listening skills. She can get provocative when it is most needed and balance it with support, which is a tremendous gift. She is very professional with a positive energy and passion for what she does and she respects the humanity of her clients, which makes her a tremendous person. The bottom line is I would trust her to coach any of my clients.”
