What Clients Say About Jeannie
I wish I met you when I was 14 instead of 36!
Student (female)
I was just thinking about coaching. I must say, when it's not there, I really miss it. It really helps to provide balance and insight in my life.
Writer (female)
Jeannie was strongly recommended to me when it became clear that a number of challenges from my early years were increasingly holding me back from accomplishing my life goals. Through her sound advice, excellent listening skills, and our work together on identifying and nurturing my core values, I have made enormous progress on all fronts. I am not only much happier in my personal life, but I am a much more effective leader in my management position at a financial institution.
Financial Executive (male)
I approached Jeannie after a year of trying every other means of gaining clarity about the things I wanted to achieve in my life. I wish I had called her in the first place! I'm still not quite sure how she does it, but she somehow empowers you to tap into your intuition so the "a-ha!" moments come from within - not from what the world tells you. The result for me has been increased clarity, increased confidence in decision-making and a significant improvement in both my personal and professional relationships.
Writer (female)
What I love about your coaching is how you seem to know exactly the question to ask at just the right moment. You have an uncanny knack of sensing what the issue is, well before I have words for it. Your questions always take me straight to the heart of whatever I am wrestling with. I particularly appreciate the fierce compassion with which you keep me on track and your magnanimous support of all my efforts and endeavours.
Small Business Owner (female)
My decision to be coached has helped me to focus on the really important things in my life. Even though I considered myself to already very good at this, I found that having my regular sessions with you, made me even better. My initial visit with you, where I looked at my values, started things off well. It seems that everything I have been working on all flows back to the things we talked about in our first session.
Because of our sessions, I have had an unprecedented year of income in my business. This past year has by far been the most successful year I have had in my 16 years of being in my own business. I have also made some serious headway in writing my first book, something I have wanted to do for about 20 years now.
As a professional speaker and facilitator, I often come across people who I feel would really benefit from your coaching services and I have no hesitation at all in referring them to you….I look forward to the continuation of having you as my coach for a long time to come.
Motivational Speaker (male)
Jeannie's coaching has been extremely valuable to me during a very difficult period of mid-life career transition. She has helped me to focus, to set goals, and to make necessary changes in my life while remaining true to my core values. She has helped me to go into job interviews with confidence and a strong sense of my own competence and worth. I am now happily settled in a new career and am grateful to her professional guidance.
Social Services Administrator (female)
Coaching has allowed me to be truly heard by a warm and compassionate facilitator, being truly heard in a way I have never known. Being heard in this way has accessed a place in my heart to listen to feedback that then opens my heart to becoming a more caring and loving person. It is the beginning of a cycle of caring, loving and being compassionate, giving back to the world because I have ‘filled up'. It is almost like ‘paying it forward', as the movie says. The world is truly a better place by both, Jeannie, the facilitator, and by the art of coaching. She has added a positive note to every positive relationship I have and will ever have. I wish that everyone could enjoy a coaching session with her just once, and know the endless possibilities that it can provide. An hour session can actually change a human being. What a beautiful reality…I'm glad I made it mine.
Lab Technician (female)
I am very happy with the guidance that Jeannie gave me. Her guidance was instrumental in my decision to apply to university.
High School Student (female)
I am thankful for Jeannie's guidance and awareness and have thoroughly enjoyed our sessions together. She is an insightful individual, sensitive to the needs of her clients, and I'm thankful for her sensitivity and direction.
Small Business Owner (male)
Jeannie legitimized my aspirations and made me believe my hopes and desires were something to be taken seriously. She made me feel comfortable discussing both personal and professional issues. She helped me become more dedicated to my work – not because of any deadlines she imposed, but because Jeannie is so dedicated to HER work. I simply owed it to her to try as hard as she does.
Journalist, Political Commentator (male)
Jeannie's objective observations helped me to, very quickly, understand the values, strengths, weaknesses and expectations I have of myself and of those around me. Our conversations concerning the relationships within our organizational mosaic have been an immeasurable help in choosing the right path through some very difficult circumstances. Her insights have helped me to reach a higher level of confidence, objectivity and leadership. Thanks Jeannie!
Senior Executive, Fortune 1000 Company (male)
Just letting things happen without asking, questioning or controlling. I sure save a lot of energy this way…thank you so much for that gift…It is wonderful to see you become the coach you strive to be, Jeannie. I congratulate you on honouring your passion and your authentic self. What an inspiration you are to me, and all women.
Chiropractor (female)
I want to thank you for all the coaching sessions we've had so far - it has helped to put things into perspective and to stay focused on enjoying the moments - which isn't always that easy for me!
Strategic Planner, Advertising (female)
I see time as flying by and I ask myself what is really important in this life? Looking for meaning and purpose and truly knowing myself and what I am here for. We might lose sight of our dreams or realize that that we aren't where we thought we'd be at this stage of our lives. It is knowing my path and having direction in life, focusing on what is meaningful.
In my case, I went through a difficult time and found myself in circumstances that I had difficulty coping with….so sometimes you just need a coach to get through those rough spots or life changes. Sometimes it is that I feel that I am meant for more and so need some encouragement, support and ‘coaching' to aspire to be all that I can be and so that we feel that satisfaction and fulfillment in all areas of our lives.
I see so many people who are afraid to live their dreams. They don't take action. And what stops us? Perhaps we don't have the confidence it takes or are concerned with what we 'should' do, what other people expect or think. Afraid to take risks or fail. Losing our identities. Having balance in our lives, finding that deep connection. In my opinion, a strong sense of self is very important and so is contributing or giving something back.
I have so many wonderful things to say about you. Jeannie has a warm, caring and uplifting way about her that inspires me and has brought me both comfort and strength.
Computer Consultant (female)
Jeannie helped me stay focused and true to my goals when things felt overwhelming or confusing. I always left our sessions with a greater sense of clarity about what my next steps were going to be and about my purpose in pursuing them. Jeannie's coaching grounded me in my core values and helped me follow through on my priorities.
Certified Coach (female)
"Focus" and "motivation" - Jeannie has helped me put these two words into action. With Jeannie's help, I have managed to commence a clouded future into a positive beginning.
Project Manager, Law Firm (male)
This is the best personal growth work that I have ever done. I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone.
Teacher (female)
You have helped me 1,000% in moving forward with my life. The sessions that I had with you were life-changing.
Small Business Manager (male)
Thank you! Your coaching was very beneficial. My whole life is better because of it. It was well worth the time and money that I spent.
Executive Manager (female)
I know what I want, but sometimes don't know how to get it, or can't see my way through noise and mind traffic. Your coaching has given me clarity and perspective, allowing me to see both more clearly, and from a vantage point that I could never attain.
Coach (male)
I worked with Jeannie during a tumultuous time in my life. The ground I stand on today is much more solid. Jeannie's coaching style played an important role in making that possible. For me the most important aspect of her style is the sense I got that I was doing the work. This is a subtle but necessary skill for a coach who aspires to have the work she does be a palpable force in the day-to-day lives of her clients. Jeannie's ability to get me to hear my own voice, to trust my own intuition, was exactly what I needed in the moment; and it has proved invaluable to me since my time with Jeannie. At important junctures in my life the power of my work with Jeannie remains as a northern star pointing me on toward the truest expression of who I am. For this I am forever grateful.
Non-profit Organizer/Coach (female)
A year ago, I was on the cusp of a nervous breakdown ... truly. Now, I feel that I'm in a good position to achieve my number-one goal and value -- happiness. You've helped me hone my self-awareness skills and helped me develop a new model for understanding my feelings, reactions, etc. That will be the key, as I try to build a strong relationship with somebody and get that promotion at work that I have been seeking.
I can't thank you enough -- you are an amazing person to talk to.
Executive (male)
I really enjoy working with you. I'd never forget an appointment as I look forward to it so much every week. There have been two people who have been the most influential in my life…and you're one of them.
Therapist (male)
I feel more confident. I'm happy in my skin. I have more security. I'm more comfortable with who I am. In relationships with others, I've noticed that I seem to be more at ease being who I am and not holding back.
Psychologist (female)
I wish I could work with you every week. I think you are amazing, and that you really helped me move forward on many issues.
Teacher (female)
You were willing to be on the plank with me when it was really tough and I thank you. Thank you so much for your support and kindness. I feel so good with you in my life…supporting me and loving me. I really like you and your energy.
Coach (female)
In the short time that we have known each other, I know that the work you do comes from your heart and soul. I am looking forward to our developing relationship as I know that I can trust in you to guide me.
Business consultant/Graphic Designer (female)
I now have the strength to stay with myself, live from my core values and keep who I am while still bending with the wind, without hurting myself or my spirit in the process. I'm no longer rigid. I no longer have to do it 'my way'. I give in for the small stuff and stay strong on the big stuff. I've stopped betraying myself and focusing on the negative. Jeannie has helped me find my future through my likes/loves instead of what I 'should' be doing. I've learned to accept myself, who I am now. I had a life-altering accident, and Jeannie helped me stay 'ME' through it all. I've learned to be a better person and that the future is what I make it. I didn't think I could be happy with the changes that occurred in me from my head injury. That one is the biggest for me, to go from being ME, the one who had a quick wit, who was physically strong, who knew who I was and where I was going without question, to ME, much stronger spiritually, reflective, much more giving and thankful. ME on the outside to ME on the inside.
Whenever I talk to you, I feel affirmed about where I am…and feel inspired to go to the next level.
Female, horse trainer and mother
I wish I could work with you every week - I think you are amazing, and that you really helped me move forward on many issues.
Mother/Teacher (female)
Coaching really helps to provide balance and insight in my life. Your thoughts and encouragement really help to allow me to understand that my life is exactly what I make it. Through coaching, I have been enlightened and reassured that I can strive for excellence - and can reach it., because I am worthy of it. I love the empowering aspect of really owning who I am; it makes me feel like achievement is easily within my grasp.
Communications writer/small business owner (female)
I have gained a lot of personal insight from our time together, and I'm very grateful for having the opportunity to learn with you. The journey that we embarked on together has been a life-changing one for me, and I'll always cherish what I learned from our sessions. If I ever feel the time is right, know that I will absolutely seek your counsel, and will point people who need guidance in your direction. Thank you Jeannie.
Veterinarian Assistant (female)
Thanks for everything, Jeannie. I feel your course gave me the courage to write this book.
Author, Publisher (female)
You as a coach have given me courage to break out of the monotony of my job and get back into life on my terms without fear. Thanks Jeannie.
Financial Consultant/Artist (female)
I wanted to let you know how well my coaching biz is going...it makes me think of how i first came to you asking for help in making my biz viable and we kept working on my self esteem - you were right on because once i was able to hold that more confidently i already had the tools i needed to get a biz up and running.
Coach (female)
Your coaching has been a real catalyst to helping me to get more connected to me, to life and all that it offers. I feel the coaching process has really helped me to see the world and my life through different glasses and challenged me to really get to know myself, accept myself and take responsibility for my life. I am so thankful you found your way into COACHING as you are so gifted in what YOU do/offer! Things just seem to be unfolding on a different level for me that although scary is freeing and makes me feel like I am getting to be "more at home with me."
Occupational Therapist/Nature Enthusiast (female)
I love you Jeannie! Thanks so much for believing in me. Things are really in motion!
Public Relations/Entertainer (female)
Coach Jeannie coaches me to look into a mirror to see the depth of who I am. At each crossroad she figuratively places the mirror in front of me. As a result, this process makes me take a hard look at defining who I am and what I really want. Therefore, I am able to take the “right” turn at the crossroads of my journey. The infamous turn that made Dorothy of The Wizard of Oz see that she always had it…home was always there inside herself and right before her very eyes.
Coach (female)
I think of you and our sessions often and still see changes in my life that have been awesomely positively affected by our sessions. Without you, I wouldn't have had the faith to make these kinds of steps.
Student Accountant (female)
Since we began working together last fall, I felt that the coaching service that you were providing was much more than a client/consultant relationship. When we would speak, I always felt like I was talking to a friend. A friend who has taken the time to get to know me well and also one who knows what questions to ask to get to the root of the issues in order to come up with a meaningful solution. I believe that I have made much more progress since we started working together than I would have on my own. You know how to push me when I need it and how to help me turn ideas into action. Like a good teacher, you're not there to give the answers, but to act as a guide as I find for myself the answers that work for me. You have given me a lot of tools to work with and I feel very positive about the direction of my career going forward. I look forward to working with you and thank you for all you have done.
Entrepreneur (male)
The best gift that I ever gave myself is my life coach!
Administrator/Artist/Mother of three teens
Like many, I have many responsibilities, wear many hats and my identity can get lost in the shuffle. Once I got through the layers and really got to know and accept myself, I found that I was on the road to self discovery and knowing what makes me happy and passionate. I've enjoyed our time and look forward to connecting you with you again, Jeannie, down the road..."
