“The trust was immediate. I would not have been able to say everything that I was thinking/feeling. I remember one coaching call in particular -the little voice in my head saying I cannot believe you are saying this! Yet I continued through the fear and anguish. I opened myself up to a deeply personal pain that I would not discuss in detail with any friend and yet it was ok to speak intimately with you. No judgement, no pity, no commisserating; just a knowing that I was able to create, resolve, learn and move forward. I cannot tell you how many times some of the questions you asked me still run through my head.” — Tracy N.

“You are insightful, you possess a delightful compassion that lights up a room. Your smile and grace put others at immediate ease. Sounds so romantic, doesn’t it. Hmm, that’s how I see you.” — Easter S.

“I see your genuine desire to bring out the best in others, relating in a down-to-earth fashion which puts your clients at ease. Your fascination with the dreams and deep hopes of your clients provides a safe place for them to play and explore and struggle. You have a great ability to communicate caring and genuine concern. That is powerful! Once you have created that atmosphere of authentic caring, your clients will accept and appreciate the machete, with its honesty and prodding. Your machete will work because of the foundation of safety and affirmation you naturally create!” — Carolyn H.
