What Clients Are Saying

Working with Paula helped me create clarity and focus in my life. What I realized from our coaching sessions was that I had WAY too many things on my plate. As a small business owner, soon-to-be mom, and student, I know I was not unlike many other people. Paula helped me prioritize what objectives were most important in my life and gave me the tools to stay on track. I am grateful for the focus she provided and for helping me better identify which endeavors deserve my time and energy vs. those that do not.

-Josephine Morris, Business Owner

Paula is able to listen and deliver what is just right for me (through her coaching). The immediate results from our coaching were amazing. Paula has great follow through, has the utmost integrity. She is making a difference in my business.

-Annie Groth, CFBS Financial Services Professional

Paula has helped me work through the process to understand who I really am. Such a simple question, but one that has been very hard for me to answer. I always got stuck on, “Well, I am an engineer” and would run into a brick wall beyond that statement. Paula helped me move over that brick wall to get to the real answers of what I love doing and what I am good at. I have recently started a program she teaches, called Empowered 10 (mPWR10). I have always wanted to “journal”; I have even made special trips to the store to buy pretty journals and new pens but never get much further than writing down the date. This simple to use template paired with positive psychology, has really helped me focus on the 2 things I need to do each day to move forward. Which reminds me…. It is time to take 10 minutes to write in my journal today.

-Virginia Connolly, Program Manager at Medtronic, Inc.

I met Paula through a network contact who had also benefited from her coaching magic. As someone seeking a career pivot after a long tenure with a single company, I hadn't "interviewed with strangers" in well over a decade. Paula not only helped me make the mental shift; she helped me identify and dust-off the career stories I need to tell, equipping me with priceless strategies for telling them effectively, and giving me the freedom to practice and refine them. Thank you, Paula!

-Alicia Engel, MA Ed, MBA

I can honestly say that the changes we have talked about and I am working to implement have become a seamless part of my life. They feel incredibly natural - and I think that is the beauty of Paula and her methods: she finds the best in you and brings it out in a natural and effortless way. I would highly recommend Paula for any professional looking to make a change or work on their professional skills or presence. She is excellent!

-Stephanie McVey, AICP
