I fully recommend Alexa Cole for both her business consulting and her life coaching. Alexa listened to me with true sincerity as I explained the challenges I was facing at my work and helped me to clarify what my true goals were. In doing this she was able to assist me to envision what my next steps were going to be in resolving my challenges and helped redirect my focus to a productive and positive outlook. Alexa is both a compassionate presence and an accurate listener. At the end of each session she emailed me a summary of the points we talked about and a list of the next steps I had decided to take. I was so impressed with how precise the written summary was....there was not one detail overlooked! It made the entire consultation feel constructive and effective and I moved forward on my decisions easily. Thank you Alexa! read more

I had a great session with Alexa. She helped me identify my underlying fears regarding a decision I'd made, and provided me a path to clarity and confidence around my new life path. I also really appreciate that Alexa continued to follow up with me, even after I'd moved out of the city. She sent me resources, and kept in touch, even though I wasn't a paying client. She really cares about who she works with, and I can only imagine will get better as she continues to build her client base. Were I in San Francisco, I would most certainly continue to seek her warmth, guidance and talent. read more

I cannot praise Alexa's professional value enough. Her ability to listen to my needs, within a career transition, and then execute a successful plan for me, was uncanny. She did an excellent job of taking my general desires and hopes for a new role, and making them into a reality I could obtain. She provided me with organizations to apply to, a crisp resume and cover letter, and most importantly, with a clear view of myself and the skills I had to offer a new company. Alexa's coaching style makes you realize your true potential and provides you with action steps to realize them! She is selfless in her desire to help and extremely knowledgable about navigating professional and personal growth. I will be using her again for my next career transition. read more

Alexa is a gifted, insightful, and intuitive coach, and an amazing person. I was fortunate to have Alexa as a coach while I navigated a new leadership role at my nonprofit, during an exciting but challenging period of transition at the organization.

With her support, I created an ambitious professional development plan to take my fundraising and leadership skills to the next level. In a short time, I was able to make significant progress towards my goals. Since working with her, I've become a more effective leader and communicator at my organization, have a deeper trust in my decisions and instincts, and generally feel more grounded, clear, and at peace at work.

I initially met Alexa at a workshop she facilitated, Social Styles & Versatility. At the time, I was contemplating making a transition out of nonprofit work to pursue other life passions and callings. The energy, enthusiasm and empathy she displayed during the workshop all made for a perfect combination that prompted me to follow-up with her to see if I could work with her one-on-one for career consultation. The time I spent with Alexa during these consultations was completely invaluable! It was amazing to work with her and talk through the challenges I was experiencing both on a professional and personal level that were truly inhibiting my growth in and satisfaction with my life. Alexa listened intently and with such compassion that it was such a delight to see her every week and bounce ideas and thoughts off of her. Needless to say, she was a large part of my decision to shift directions in life. As is referenced in other reviews, Alexa does an amazing job of staying connected and invested even after you have stopped seeing her on a regular basis. She is a great resource, thought partner and coach--so grateful to have met her! read more

Alexa is a wonderful human being - intelligent, compassionate, grounded and committed to her clients.

This additional qualification of hers will be a rare benefit for anyone coming to her for business consulting. Give her a call - you won't regret it. :) read more

I do healing work and am very discerning about who I seek out when I need help. I am very grateful to know Alexa. When I see her she is always grounded, present and caring. I have received Reiki energy healing from her and always benefit from the work. My body, mind and spirit respond in the ways that are most beneficial for me. I feel very supported by Alexa. She carries an innate wisdom that comes through clearly in her work. I recently had an accident, resulting in a fracture and lacerations. After a session with her, my body felt strong and grounded. I came away with a clear understanding of why the accident occurred and the break is healing much faster than the doctor said it would. Anyone who works with Alexa will surely benefit from the many gifts she has to share. read more

What I like most about Alexa is the healthy balance she radiates in her life! It's challenging for us passionate, entrepreneurial women to balance our work lives and projects with self-care.

A friend recommended me to Alexa at Cole Consulting when I was feeling lost and anxious about how to move my artistic career. At first, I was hesitant to invest in career coaching- it seemed an extravagance and I was concerned that a coach would have trouble understanding the unique situation of an artist and that her advice might be geared towards a more traditional career path. Boy was I wrong. It was incredibly worthwhile. Alexa is a truly nurturing and wise presence. She listens with compassion and intelligence allowing me to feel safe opening up about all that was holding me back. She asked just the right questions, identifying underlying issues that I had not been able to see on my own. Within one session I felt such greater clarity and confidence in making the decisions I needed to to move forwards. read more

Alexa is a top notch coach, mentor, friend, and overall human. I've worked with her for the past 5 years and cannot say enough good things about how she helped me develop professionally and personally. She helped me navigate tough situations at work, provided me with resources and confidence to take risks and next steps in my life, and was always an amazing listener when I needed advice. She helped me work through some struggles, learn from my experience, and apply those learnings to improve where I was.

I started working with Alexa recently as I restarted my job search. I work in recruitment and human resources and thought I knew what I was doing to prepare for my interviews, but, I was wrong. Alexa was able to help me think of the possible job interview questions in a different way. She challenged me to think out of the box and come up with great examples I could use in my interviews. She took the time to review the job postings with me and walk me through possible questions. Alexa is a wonderful coach to work with. She is smart, knows her stuff and makes the time the effort to work with and for her clients. read more
