We recently collaborated on a presentation on the topic of coaching and found the experience of working with her both energizing and personally enriching. As my informal mentor, I can attest that she possesses a genuine and caring presence and has an authentic generosity in sharing her depth of experience and knowledge. One of her greatest gifts is her ability to open the door to allow for group dialogue, be present, and share feedback that is honest and transformative. She creates visions and can frame the possibilities which makes her a true champion of people and expert in the field of Organizational Development and Coaching.”
