“My old ways weren’t working very well in my new job.  I experienced a lot of personal growth in six months coaching with Jill, which benefited both my professional and personal areas of life. It is impossible to see your blind spots without this kind of coaching. Be prepared to work harder than you think. Trust Jill and do the homework, and you will be very pleased with the long term results.”    Cathy, team leader

“Jill has a unique approach to coaching that allows you to practice new skills, not just talk about them. As a result, my progress is sustainable over the long-term. She also challenged me to dig deeper and get to the root issues. I was able to deal with areas that previously had held me back.”
Heather, Vice President, Member Services

“I found Jill’s approach to be very effective. She tailored a program specifically for me that was well suited to my needs and as a result we were able to develop some techniques that I use every day!”
Philip, Executive, Waterloo

“Jill is one of the most insightful people I’ve ever known. Time and again I’m shocked at how she can get to the root of one of my challenges or issues and uncover an entirely unexpected truth for me about the why. And she never leaves me there at that precipice of insight, dangling; she then leads me to practical steps I can take to address the issue. Brilliant! She’s direct and specific while kind in the way that she can bring me to see truths about my blind spots and/or barriers … I no longer feel embarrassed to be so transparent to someone else because the insights she’s unearthed for me in our coaching have enabled me to be a far better leader, follower, employee and human being.”
Cindy, Director, Corporate Human Resources, Toronto

“What I really appreciated about my coaching experience with Jill was the opportunity to try out, reflect on, adjust and reinforce a set of ‘tools’ and practices that I could gradually incorporate and sustain in my daily interactions. Most of the practices I developed with Jill have become ‘automatic responses’ that have greatly enhanced my ability to maintain a personal balance when dealing with complex situations. Jill’s coaching style is relaxed and responsive – she created an atmosphere in which I could lead my own learning, offering insights and observations that were integral to developing new approaches that ‘fit’ for me.”
Denise, Executive Director, Community Health Centre

“You are clearly very knowledgeable in the area of effective teams and team building and developed a better understanding around that for our group. Your facilitation style was well suited to the group – you let people have fun/laugh but also pushed us along when needed. You capture information and turn it around in a format (quickly) that is easy for us to incorporate in to other work and next steps.”

“The senior leadership is indebted to you for helping us through the difficult task of developing our hedgehog strategy. We were impressed with how you managed to reign in our group so well and we particularly appreciated your drawings that helped us to visualize – not only our own expression but that of others.”
