What Clients Say

Taking Charge of Life…

“I made the right choice in deciding to take charge of my life and in working with Donna as my coach. She asks the right questions and is perceptive to the ways I answer them. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and an encouragement to me. She is flexible as my priorities and plans change and is committed to my success. Donna’s focus and clarity helps me practice the focus and seek the clarity which I want in my own life.”

 

- Greg Shubert, Colorado

No Longer Hiding…

“Donna really held me to my word, pushed me and didn’t let me make excuses. She was also really invested in helping me reach my goals, dreams and true self. I began to follow the dreams that I was hiding from and find the answers that I already had inside me to life’s most important questions…the feedback has been amazing….My experience was excellent and I highly recommend Donna.”

 

- Christine Aguilar, Colorado

Team Bonds…

“Donna was brilliant in finding new ways for the team to bond and for the group to unite. In just a week after the session, I can already sense a tighter connection between the members.”

 

- Jon Kroll, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio

Hearing the Truth…

“What impresses me most about Donna is her ability to cut through my vagueness and excuses! She gave me the kick I needed. My business is on a roll and I feel great. It is profoundly gratifying to know I have a coach who tells me the truth. With Donna, I get the big-picture view without the assumptions and expectations that come along with others who are too attached to the outcome. Donna is my reality check and my biggest supporter. Thanks Donna!”

 

- Alina Lord, Los Angeles

Discovering Intrinsic Motivation…

Brenda Cavanaugh, SunVIP, Sun Microsystems

Donna’s consistent professionalism let me know I would be ‘safe’ in talking with her. I have to say she surprised me. Her ability to pick out key motivators and stumbling blocks for me in such a short time was impressive; she has strong listening skills.


- Brenda Cavanaugh, SunVIP, Sun Microsystems, Broomfield, Colorado
