I recommend Trish most highly with no reservations.
Working with Trish was a most enjoyable and very helpful experience. Our engagement began in response to large changes and shifts in the organization where I had been working for many years. The magnitude of the change and being assigned a new role within the organization presented multiple challenges for me that Trish helped me to manage. We worked together for more than a year. In that time, Trish helped me to focus on defining my personal work goals, evaluating my assets and weaknesses, and defining a plan of action for managing the challenges of my new role. Trish was a great listener, provided insightful feedback, identified specific actions and reading material that was helpful to the effort. Working with Trish provided a safe place, a fresh perspective and a new way to look at the challenges I was confronting. Her calm demeanor, and respectful approach and informed insights were exactly what I needed at that time. I would jump at the opportunity to work with Trish again and recommend her most highly with no reservations.

Trish helped me to adjust my approach to be more effective.
When I joined a new company with a culture that differed from my previous experience, I had difficulty getting buy-in on my ideas with the executive leadership team. I did not understand their definition of collaboration or decision-making style. Trish helped me to adjust my approach to be more effective and I was able to gain agreement on major initiatives, including a new B2B website. I adapted my style to share my ideas earlier in the process and spend time individually with each member of the team. My adaptability helped me to more successful engaging with the leadership team.
Trish is smart, intuitive and very skilled at driving towards desired outcomes.
I engaged Trish to facilitate a full day of team building and coaching with my executive team, which is spread across North America. Trish worked with me to understand my goals and then designed a series of activities that focused my team on active listening and sharing feedback effectively, as well as a group strategy development session. The exercises were hands on and engaging, and led to the development of new individual skills and a more cohesive team dynamic. She collaborated with members of my team to make sure she had important background and context going into the session. Trish was great to work with.

Strong success in my new leadership role thanks to Trish’s support and expertise.
I have been working with Trish for the past 18 months, and I could not be happier with the partnership and progress that we have made together in that time. We started soon after I was promoted to be President of our largest business. It was critical that I adapt to leading my former peers, as well as making connections across the broader organization in new ways. Trish was highly thoughtful in helping me understand my view of myself as well as learn how others viewed me. She created a safe environment which enabled very open and candid discussions (both ways), while still challenging me where necessary. Our work together has fully enabled strong progress, recognized by both those directly in my business as well as leaders of other significant areas of our company. I can truly say that I would not have been able to achieve such success in this broader role without Trish’s support and expertise, and I am grateful to her for our partnership. This early success has led me to continue partnering with Trish. I look forward to further strengthening the gains as well as improving in other areas.
I am a Certified Executive Coach adhering to the highest standards of ethical practice as administered by the ICF Code of Ethics.
