When I met Liz, I knew she would be THE coach for me. Coming…read morein I was disorganized, overwhelmed, and lacked confidence. Coaching has made a huge difference. My confidence is sky-high. Her capacity to hear what was needed in my business influenced my actions toward incredible results. Her direction allowed me to present my companies to fortune 100 enterprises with persuasiveness and expertise. I highly recommend Liz and Integrative Leadership Strategies. I plan to continue to retain her coaching as we aim towards a million-dollar company!

She is very knowledgeable in helping a business owner or team with organizational strategies, and ideas to help grow business. As I got more and more comfortable with speaking on the phone with her each week she even became like a therapist for me in particular, and would listen to my personal issues as well as my business issues and was always willing to offer advice. Please if you are on the fence about coaching, give Liz a chance. You will not be disappointed.

Since the Fall of 2011, I've met with Karen once, worked with her over the phone to edit a resume…read moreand cover letter, and have called her to talk me through an overwhelming time-sensitive career decision crisis!! I am SO GLAD she was available to talk to me when I called her out the blue. Having someone who knows you a bit and has become familiar with your experience, strengths, and goals, is an asset to have during a career transition period. Overall, I have had a great experience with Karen and I am so glad I took the chance and reached out for this type of support. (My first time working with a career coach/counselor). Karen definitely cares about the success of her clients and is dedicated to her work. Some might think this type of support is expensive, including me, but in the end - I have definitely found it to be worthwhile. Work is a huge chunk of your life... and if you're unhappy or confused, why wouldn't you invest in something like a career coach? I have found Karen to be great at: - helping you identify next steps when you're stuck - creating an action plan that is realistic and useful - talking through/editing written documents to make them more effective - connecting you to resources (Karen often emailed me job opportunities that she thought might be a good fit for me! How awesome is that?) - offering a listening ear - asking important questions - helping you think about things differently, from a different angle - offering insight to certain fields and what the challenges are in that field (higher education in my experience). Thanks, Karen!

As the broker of a small real estate office, I'm busy just handling the operations of the office and Adrienne from Troy Benefits was excellent at handling my office health benefits and helping me make the right decision for the company. She has also worked directly with my employees helping them to choose what is best for them. Its nice to have a health insurance broker/company who helps so promptly and will answer all your questions rather than leaving voicemail and never getting a call back. Thank you!

I cannot recommend this program strongly enough! Shannon helps you be what you want to be. I am the…read moresame person I was before her program - yet simultaneously completely different. I had been on an exhaustive 10-year career search, looking for a position that fit others' expectations of where I should be next . . . Not realizing that the career I was already making for myself, was most closely aligned with my values, beliefs, and desire to live a balanced, yet well-paid life that puts my happiness, and presence for my children first. (As Shannon put it, I am like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz - in that I didn't need to "look any further than my own back yard.") I wanted clarity over the future direction of my career, and to get to where I want to be. This goal was met due to the expert advice of Shannon. My product and brand has been strengthened, and I am much more mindful and intentional about the career decisions I make. Shannon listens, then reminds you what you said is important to YOU, rather than fit you into a cookie-cutter program. I wholeheartedly recommend the Whole U. process.

Those of us who don't work in career advising don't really know what we're doing when it comes to…read morechanging a career. I'd hire a professional to fix my car, or operate on my heart... so I'd certainly hire a pro to guide my way to my new career. Working with Shannon helped me set up a road map to reach my goal. I learned how to: write a 21st-century resume, re-do my LinkedIn page, and I learned (again) that there's no time like the present to start the first step toward my goal. I learned that my goal isn't ridiculous and could actually provide a huge benefit to people. I really appreciate the holistic approach to Whole U. advising services. Everything in this world is interconnected, whether one believes that in a spiritual or scientific way, and one's career is not excluded from that.

I work for a small company, and had reached a level where I needed more guidance than I could find internally. David's coaching has filled that gap and more.

At age 28 I felt like I was in a rut - I had spent my twenties at different points unemployed,…read moredepressed, or stuck in dead-end jobs. I never felt I was living up to my full potential, and making real changes felt impossible. I always told myself, "I'll start tomorrow, I'll start tomorrow..." - David helped me to start TODAY. With David I thought seriously about what is important to me, what I want to change about myself, and where I want to be heading in life. Then we broke those goals down into things that I could actually accomplish on a weekly basis. After 15 months of working with David, I have started work at a tech startup, I've lost 30 pounds, I'm in arguably the best physical shape of my life, and I have a much more positive outlook on myself and my future. The road was not easy or simple, with many setbacks and a lot of needed introspection about my habits and productivity, however David was very helpful through the process. He constantly helped me evaluate what was working for me and what wasn't, and did it all in a friendly and sensitive way. He has been especially helpful to me as I make my first foray into white collar work - juggling deadlines, responsibilities and expectations while also looking out for my personal work aspirations and self-interests. I am very thankful for him, and I recommend him to anyone who wants to start making changes and taking a hard look at their life's direction.
