WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

 

Stepping up to leadership opportunities

"As of yesterday, I am the Civil Department Manager for the Baton Rouge office of the Federal Division within HNTB. You helped me realize that all the potential lies within me and you have given me the tools to tap into that potential. Your guidance and encouragement has allowed me to step up to the leadership opportunities presented to me.

In the last six months I have been presented with several challenges, but with your help I have been able to address those in a professional and successful manner that has strengthened how others perceive me as a leader. Thank you!"

M. Mahoney, Civil Department Manager, HNTB.

Developing the respect a leader earns

“Since I work in a field that is 97% men, the challenge for me was to be perceived as a capable leader, developing the respect of colleagues that a leader earns. My coach helped me to realize my strengths and gave ideas on how to use them as a tool for success.”

L. Scott, Environmental Specialist, Texas Genco.

Enhanced visibility and reputation

“When I began my career, I was not getting recognized for all of my contributions or merit.  I was still considered a junior person on the team.  By meeting with my coach on a regular basis, I have been able to improve my image and create visibility around my contributions.

In only 1 year, with my coach's guidance and very little additional effort, I have made minor adjustments to my approach to relationships and project management to enhance my visibility and image in the organization.  These skills that I have built and that have improved my reputation have helped me create a development plan toward promotion and have accelerated my career advancement.”

T. Fong, Corporate Finance Manager, Yahoo! Inc.

Career path becomes reality

"I want to let you know what a profound impact you have had on my life. In just three months, I went from being very fearful and confused about my future career path, to extremely confident and excited about the progress I had already made! You helped me take an idea that was more a dream than a goal, and turn it into a reality. Not bad for 90 days! If I had not experienced it for myself, I would have never believed what an incredible impact coaching could have on my life and career."

E. Bergh, Business Account Manager, PG&E.

Making the goal achievable

"When I start a session with my coach, I usually am "at 6s and 7s" with no clue what I want to accomplish or what goal to set.  Within minutes, she has guided me to define a worthwhile goal for the session and by the end of the session, I have a clearly articulated set of steps that will make that goal achievable. How do I know the steps work and I will achieve the goal? Because we do it every time and it works every time!

B. Geddes, Vice President, Tezzaron Semiconductor Corporation.

Momentum and motivation

"I have achieved a momentum of self-confidence, empowerment, vision, focus, motivation, and RESULTS!" 

K. Shemirani, Public Relations, NEC Electronics.   

The secret weapon that every leader needs

"After 20 years in public and/or corporate America, I have found that Jo’s support, guidance and wisdom are the best source of direct action I have ever experienced… I strongly believe Jo Miller is the secret weapon that every leader needs in their silent corner.”

J. Pinkney, VP, CBX Technologies Inc.

Leadership skills to meet new challenges

“My coach has helped me to grow my leadership skills to an extent that I now look forward to meeting new challenges and opportunities to stretch even further.  As a result of our working together my professional relationships have improved and I am much more confident and happy."

K. Kaleta, Project Manager, National Semiconductor.

Accomplished the impossible with grace

“I love working with my coach because her approach is very thorough. She delves into organizational structure, time management, emotional blocks, and visioning without skipping a beat. She is gifted at mirroring your own wisdom back to you with a smile. Her excitement and dedication to exploring what will help you manifest your dreams is happily infectious. It has been great working with you, and I want to thank you again for your support. It really helped me to finish a nearly impossible task with grace!” 

H.A. MacKenzie-Gaudet, Executive Director.  

Get out of a rut

“There were many “ah ha!” moments when concepts I’d struggled with for years suddenly clicked for me – enabling me to sidestep my common pitfalls and focus my energy on the next practical step towards my target.

I have highest regard for Jo's executive leadership coaching talent and would say to any woman who feels she's in a rut, or has a new challenge she's struggling to overcome: I challenge you to give yourself a shot at excellence!"  

J. Jones, PHR, HR Specialist.

Redirected corporate strategy and vision

“Jo Miller stands out as not only a coach that is competent, but also one of the most highly qualified coaches in the United States.

Under her direction I was able to redirect major corporate decisions that were not clear and succinct and to maintain a clear vision for the future that will ensure both financial rewards and business success.”

Y. Kamerling, CEO, Legwork Team.

Focused ideas and energy

"My coach brings an acute ability to lead her clients to articulate their truth, and to gather scattered ideas and energy into a focused force for change in their lives. Working with her is not an experience of exploring an intriguing new idea that fades when the demands of the world return. Rather, she is invaluable in helping her clients craft and succeed at the practical tasks that make it possible to being living in new ways, now."

C. Bird, Systems Engineer, Artel Inc.

A healthy career transition

“While working with my coach, we analyzed my job placement process on a step-by-step matter, and we discussed a whole variety of issues surround job searching, interviewing, contract negotiations, analyzing potential jobs and even how to transition from an old position into a new position.

Having completed the job selection process, I feel this was the healthiest search process I have been through to date.“

Rabbi D. Bravo.

People have noticed the difference

“I have been working with my coach for less than a year and we have already had to reset the goals three or four times, which is amazing because many of these goals were on my list for YEARS before I began working with her.

In terms of progress, both on a personal and professional level, people around me have noticed significant changes since working with a coach. That was a bonus.”

K. O’Brien.
