Claire sees opportunity and helps me imagine possibilities that I would never see on my own. Her straightforward approach reflects a deep interest in helping people in both their personal and professional development. She’s an enthusiastic and tenacious partner during any quest for change, yet she never fails in her empathy when things don’t go as planned.

When I started working with Claire, I was in a rut, wondering why I was stalled and trying to understand the root of my inertia. Working with Claire, I discovered that the answers were inside me all the time. Claire helped me shift perspective, see myself through a new lens. I became more positive and engaged at work. I left my frustration at the door, and have been much more confident in my interactions with clients and colleagues. Being effective is not just deciding what you want and going for it; for me, it’s knowing who I AM and who I WANT TO BE. I would definitely tell everyone to go get a coach!

Claire’s presentation was fantastic! At WFFC, we are always looking for the newest thinking in leadership development. Claire’s presentation was completely interactive, which made it fun and much more memorable for us. And, because of Claire’s corporate background, she gets how to make it truly relevant. She was able to give us tangible ways to use the skills she taught us, and we have been using them ever since. If anyone asked me about having Claire as a presenter, I would say, “Yes, right away!”

Prior to working with Claire, I knew I wanted to make changes in my life. I had many career ambitions, many personal dreams, many ‘what if’ and ‘I wish I could’ conversations with myself. Through working with Claire, I found clarity. Professionally, I was offered a raise and promotion at work within only two months of working with Claire. Within three months of working with Claire, I started my own business. Personally, I was 37 and not meeting any quality men. I thought I would never find someone I liked and within three months I finally started attracting and meeting the guys I always wanted. Fast forward another five months and I was engaged and planning my wedding!
Bonni, Cosmetics Marketing
When we were looking for coaching, Claire brought us the right team for the job. Starting with a 360 assessment, I got a real understanding about the disconnect between my perspective and my colleagues’. That awareness gave me what I needed to become a better leader and mentor. I now know where to focus my energy and how to improve at bring out the best in our team. My goal as a leader is to bring consistent positive energy and enable my team to have success and be recognized.
