“Wow, what can I say! I feel so much more confident and happy now that I have been coaching with you. I came to coaching because I felt my social skills were holding me back both at work and in relationships. I’ve been considered shy most of my life. Using assessments you helped me understand that I really am an introvert. At first all I saw was the negatives. Through coaching, I understand the gifts and strengths that I bring to work and relationships by being introverted. Things like, intelligence, empathy, thoughtfulness, problem solving and a strong work ethic. You didn't leave it there. You helped me develop my social skills through a series of learned skill sets that you then had me practice during the week. At first I felt really awkward. However, you helped me make it more like a game. Now, even though it still isn't 100% natural, I feel I’m almost there. People at work have recognized my contributions and ability to be more social. Friends definitely see a change. I’m also now more at ease talking with women and have even been dating! What a difference five or six months can make! I’m happier, more confident and feel like I've learned skills that will help me for a lifetime!”

"I wanted to try coaching because I had been struggling with my employees. I own a small hardware store. My employees weren't taking me seriously as I am a woman working with mainly men. Iris helped me articulate my trouble spots, work on weekly team meetings, frame personal sales and service goals for the employees and add fun and respect in my business. Sales are up 25% and my employees respect me and enjoy working hard"

"I really appreciate your help in becoming focused and motivated to both find a job and continue my training. I tend to be all over the place, really scattered and not focused. Your coaching really got me on track with: setting a goal of applying for 7 jobs a week; where to find good open active job leads; making my resume 'pop'; honing my interviewing skills; looking at my personal love life and being accepted to an online university. I am now employed in a good transition job that I enjoy, I'm enjoying my college classes and I've found an interesting woman who I enjoy. You helped me take a good look at myself and make some important changes so that I am moving forward successfully."

Iris, I was getting such poor work evaluations in the area of interpersonal communication and team building. I kept being told I was really good at accomplishing things, but promotions alluded me. Your coaching focused on my interpersonal skills, communication skills and team building. Within a brief 6 months my upcoming annual review reflected the fact that my corporation now sees me as a leader! The current president has a 12 month exit strategy to retire and I have been told by the Board President & President that I am being discussed as a possible candidate for the Presidency! You know that this has been my secret goal. I am amazed that these skills can be de-coded, taught, practiced and learned. I am better at work and more comfortable in my own skin. Thank You!

I have improved my company’s customer service and created a plan to increase return customers and referrals. This has made my work more effortless. I also looked at my core values and re-focused how I spend my time. Coaching with you has been a very valuable tool in my business and personal life not to mention thought provoking and fun! I intend on coming back, periodically, to make sure I’m on track and creating the life I love.
