I’ve been working with Rebecca for about a year now and can say hands down this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She is genuine, an extraordinary listener/communicator and gives me new perspectives to consider even when I believed I had exhausted all of my options. Rebecca has helped me navigate through challenging times with career and relationships and as a result my default response when issues arise is no longer anxiety but instead a broader and more positive outlook that focuses on solutions. I recommend Rebecca to anyone who feels stuck, is tired of having a mediocre life, or who feels like they can’t be their authentic self.

When I finally took the plunge to work on my own career growth, I didn’t know what to expect. Rebecca’s coaching approach was calm and driven by first learning about me and my goals before pushing any agenda or plan. This felt totally customized. I work on really involved projects, finding myself busier than I wanted to be, and was in a scattered frame of mind. Rebecca taught me that even as a consultant, it’s ok to 1) be very clear on your value and what you want from a project or client and 2) SAY NO when the project doesn’t align to your values. The most valuable training she provided was on controlling my energy. By understanding how one’s energy changes during a project, or through stressors, you can snap yourself back and forth, leveraging the different “modes” that energy levels facilitate. Sometimes you have to create! Sometimes you have to lead! Sometimes you have to manage! Sometimes you’re overwhelmed and need to solution! Sometimes, you have to recognize that the solution shouldn’t come from you at all.. This stuff is valuable, folks! This is active listening, leadership, OCM, project management, and everything in-between. Rebecca in a few months got me to a place of higher confidence, output, and impact. I highly recommend working with her to unlock what’s already there. Really valuable toolkit..

Rebecca is one of the best coaches I've worked with. I really enjoyed her methodological approach to coaching coupled with her intuitive, results-driven, go-getter attitude, which is contagious. I went from cloudy to clarity and she is excellent at following up while being incredibly resourceful in multiple domains. Rebecca is also an inspiring motivational speaker and brings a lot of authenticity and boldness that shakes up emotions and has a huge impact. I highly recommend working with Rebecca as a coach and selecting her as a speaker!

Rebecca provided me with a tremendous amount of guidance as I navigate the uncertainty surrounding post-graduation. She consistently demonstrates positive energy and extensive knowledge in career development, self-actualization, and personal growth. During our meetings, Rebecca constructively motivated by asking thought provoking questions, but also provided me with actions I can independently take to improve various aspects of my personal and professional life. I know I can count on Rebecca well into the future. I highly recommend anyone in search of development and/or growth to seek Rebecca out!

Rebecca was my saving grace during one of the toughest transitions (facing post-graduation and career navigation during a pandemic.) Before anything else, she taught me to lead by my values and follow my energy. From my first call, Rebecca was uplifting, upbeat, and empowering. She held me accountable, taught me how to face career decisions head on, and most importantly made sure I was leading with confidence. Prior to working with Rebecca, I was terrified of interviewing, networking, and putting myself out there. At the end of my 3 month coaching period with her, I have not only received a job offer and tremendous positive feedback on interviews, but I have gained incredible energy and confidence. I am no longer timid entering the corporate world, but am excited, empowered and ready to go after what I want!
