Testimonials

Having worked with Renee for a number of years, I have always been amazed by her ability to connect with different people by understanding exactly what they needed and when. Her coaching has not only helped me advance my career a number of times, but given me new insight into myself as well about what is important to me and why. I highly recommend Renee’s teachings to anyone who wants to better understand themselves and others. Her practical, time-proven advice to finding your next job will open up the “hidden” job market for you.

Without the years of consummate coaching from Renee, it would have been impossible to navigate the corporate arena, and to transition to my own business. Her insights, affirmations and recommended steps to “know thyself” laid a pathway for me to embrace my passion and not see this word as “illusionary” or inconsistent with business values.Thank you for the consistency throughout many trials and challenges. I look forward to our continued relationship.

I benefited from Renee’s subtle yet powerful insights on leadership, management, job fit, and general organizational behavior in my first executive role over 30 years ago. Her early teachings and the many since have been among the most influential in my career. I found so much value in her work that I engaged her with the teams of each company I subsequently led. Her concepts and tools are timeless; I rely on them heavily still in my current board work and coaching of young CEOs. What I find most novel about Renee’s coaching is her ability to help people apply the concepts, not just to understand them intellectually. I’ve yet to meet the person who didn’t benefit from Renee’s coaching.

My words won’t ever be enough to describe how Renee impacted my life through her coaching. I am eternally grateful for all her advice, directness, sincerity, sense of humanity, and ability to believe that everyone can thrive in the right job fit.

Renee helped me jump from being a manager to a global director. She helped me to grow in my career. Beyond that, she helped me improve my self-awareness, start thinking of coaching others, track team performance, and build high-performing teams.

Renee helped me find a mechanism to continuously improve myself. I hope to have the honor of meeting with her for many more years as my coach, advisor, and friend.

I couldn’t recommend Renee highly enough as a Coach. Over the past three years, my career satisfaction has been significantly enhanced by Renee’s expert guidance and support.

As our company underwent the complex process of acquisition, Renee was instrumental in helping me navigate through change. Her insights and strategies were invaluable in managing the transition effectively, ensuring both personal and organisational stability during periods of uncertainty.

Renee played a pivotal role in my transition from being a manager to being a leader. Her ability to distill complex leadership concepts into actionable advice helped me to develop a more impactful leadership style. Her coaching wasn’t just about leadership theory but also about practical, real-world applications that could be immediately implemented.

One of the most significant areas where Renee’s helped me was in her guidance on team recruitment and development. She possesses a rock-solid understanding of team dynamics and the qualities needed in team members to foster a successful, cohesive unit. Her advice on how to identify, recruit, and nurture talent has been a game-changer for me, enabling me to build a team that is not only skilled but also aligned with our core values and objectives.

Renee’s approach is a perfect blend of professionalism, empathy, and pragmatism. Her sessions are always enlightening, engaging, and tailored to address the specific challenges at hand. She definitely isn’t afraid to challenge me either! Her impact on my professional growth has been huge, and I am confident that any organisation or individual fortunate enough to work with her will benefit immensely.

As my personal coach

One of the most unique aspects of working with Renee on an individual basis is her understanding of people’s skills and her coaching about how to apply that to conversations and real world situations with your teams or colleagues.  In my experience, it nearly always leads to better outcomes, not just for me, but for the team. 

As an organizational consultant

Having Renee as an organizational coach working with your leaders is invaluable.  From the formation of the team and the understanding of people’s skills and their impact on the team, to her reflections on how to make the team perform at a higher level, most of the best team experiences I’ve had have resulted from Renee’s coaching. 

Working with Renee has been instrumental in sharpening my leadership abilities and in driving significant change across two high tech organizations. The methods and framework she has developed are refined, accessible, and pragmatic. I have developed a deep level of trust with Renee through challenging topics such as business culture, team composition, emerging leadership, and individual behavioral risks. Driving transformative change can be a bumpy ride with bruised egos at times, but Renee embraces this by being bold when necessary (even when uncomfortable) while providing help along the way. She is a trusted advisor who fosters emotional intelligence, open communication channels, and helps navigate complex organizational dynamics. I value her greatly as a strategic partner who helps me make informed decisions by better understanding complex team dynamics and perspectives. I recommend her coaching resources as well as her counsel to emerging leaders, to employees in changing teams, and to anyone in growing, maturing organizations!
