What my clients say about their coaching experience.
“Jeannie is absolutely amazing! I’m a physician and professional coach myself, and she coached me expertly during a critical career transition.

“No matter who you are or what goals you want to reach, you have an advocate in Coach Jeannie. Her abundant curiosity about people and her masterful skill in asking the impeccably timed “aha!” question make every coaching session a journey of deep discovery. I came to Coach Jeannie with a very tall order: I wanted to completely make over my career and my life. Never once did she question my desires; instead, she had me define what I wanted with great precision, which revealed clear pathways to attaining my goals. Most valuable of all, Coach Jeannie walked me through very honest and vulnerable explorations of the obstacles that appeared to stand in my way. Through Coach Jeannie’s insightful and compassionate process of inquiry, I saw that I could move beyond -- or around -- these ‘obstacles.’ I could not have done it, and certainly not this quickly, without the benefit of Coach Jeannie’s expertise, wisdom, and the brilliance of her “shine.”
--Heather Fryer, PhD
"In all honesty, I had no idea when I started what Jeannie was going to be able to do for me. I had retired from a high-pressure job as an executive creative director at a major Chicago ad agency and was 15 years into a second career as a fine artist. While my paintings were being accepted in major national juried shows, I longed for something else with my art but I didn't know what. Through her insightful coaching, Jeannie helped me identify very clearly what my goals are and helped create steps to achieve them. She helped me see that I was feeling like the proverbial lone castaway on an island in my Chicago art studio. Along the way, she was more than just professional and knowledgeable about coaching. She was passionately interested in helping me find a new path in life, guiding me with honesty, kindness, humor, and frankly, with as much interest in identifying the end goal as I had for myself. Jeannie's exuberance for the process was contagious, making it enormously helpful and enjoyable to find my 'shine'!"

"Jeannie has completely changed my life around. I came to her after a significant life change and felt rudderless in choosing my new career path. Jeannie was patient and positive as she helped guide my path from figuring out my passion to landing a job in a field I'm thrilled about. She interrogated assumptions I had going into the search and helped me see my value in a new field.
I'm indebted to Jeannie for her earnestness and persistence. I felt like more than anything she was invested in my growth and that my next career move was in step with my values and long-term goals. Anyone who works with her will benefit immensely from her experience and thoughtfulness. I cannot recommend her enough.
