Testimonials

As a leader of a large team in my organization, I appreciated the approach that Rosanne used to explore the challenges that I was facing both from a work and personal perspective.  It was very different from anything that I have used in the past - extremely useful and scary at the same time.  I have made significant changes in my work environment by moving to a new role in the organization and at home things are better as well.   Rosanne has helped me to look at my challenges at work and at home from a different perspective, and I now realize I often have the answers to my challenges right within myself. The key change has been my new ability to consciously live in the moment and be “present” with the people I’m with.  This change has definitely made me a better leader in my organization and in my whole life.

“Gord's coaching helped me to understand that I did not need to be the expert in all things and that I could trust good people to take care of the things they were good at. I learned to forgive myself for not being perfect, and to publicly acknowledge, embrace and value my talents. Working with you gave me my confidence back by showing me what I had to offer in my role as a leader.”
K., IT Manager

I was facing the issue of career stagnation, feeling stuck in a corporate job that was stable and responsible, but didn’t bring me the passion of personal self-fulfillment.  Rosanne provides a completely open perspective for discussion, breaking down barriers to clarify the root of the issues.   Once the problem statement had been clearly defined and some brainstorming of ideas to address the problem, it was a matter of narrowing down the field to reasonable and achievable objectives.  The entire time, the end goal was always re-stated and became clearer with each step.  A tactical approach of a step by step plan with measurable results was set up which allowed me to feel accountable to myself to ensure that these activities were not just executed and carried out, but to sustain the momentum of a relatively significant shift in career direction and focus. If you are looking to break out to bring innovation and creativity to a business, team, or simply a career, I believe that she would be an excellent resource to maximize the options and assist in a realistic action plan.

“My coaching sessions with Gord were extremely insightful and inspirational. I now know exactly what it takes to be a true leader, in life, and in business. Gord’s insight, knowledge and coaching talent enabled me to change the way I interact with people such that I am more successful and satisfied with both my career path and my personal life.”
Darin Tucker, MBA, Program Manager

Deciding to get coaching from Rosanne was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life.  I was enjoying the salary and status of my career at a large corporation, but through coaching, I realized the position was no longer in line with my core values.  Through her perceptive questioning and listening, Rosanne helped me to determine I could get the rewards, stimulation and flexibility I was seeking by creating my own consulting business. She then provided the focus and support I needed in both my business and personal life to make this dream a reality.  I feel a real sense of peace and excitement about the new life Rosanne has helped me create!

 “Gord has helped me to come out of my shell and take action in my career.  Through the one on one sessions that he provides, I have learned how to become a very effective speaker and how to get people interested in the information that I am presenting.  Before Gord helped me I was very shy and extremely terrified of having to do any type of presentation.  Now I think of presentations as being a great opportunity to display my knowledge and enthusiasm for a particular subject, as well as, making a strong impression on others. I will continue to use the skills that Gord has helped me develop in order to achieve success throughout my career.”

“You have been very instrumental in helping me these past months as I try to live my life to the fullest and achieve my various personal, business, and life goals. You have made me see clarity with respect to my values and how to keep me on track with what I consider success.  You have been a listening ear, and a supportive confidante, who is able to lift up my spirits when all I seem to see at times is the gloom of experience.   You have taught me how to see different perspectives on my own and assess the challenges that confront me with new eyes!  This upcoming year is going to be an incredibly fulfilling year for me--thanks to you, Rosanne!”

“As a coach, Gord has provided help, advice and encouragement to “unlock” my potential. Through his coaching I have become more self aware.  I have also developed a sense of purpose.  I have a better understanding of my personal needs, what interests me, what I want, and where I want to go in life.  Gord is also helping me to become more self directed, to follow my intuition and choose a path I want to take.”
Amber Brockman, EIT, Project Management

“I started business coaching with Rosanne because I found the client demands and endless “to do’s” required to grow my business overwhelming. I also felt isolated, as if I were working in a vacuum. I needed someone on my side – Rosanne was that ally.  She only wanted the best for me and my business, and she helped me to believe in myself.. Rosanne was the push I needed.  She brought me back to the real focus of what I wanted this business to be and where I wanted it to go.  I also communicate hours and fees more often and more clearly, I’ve accomplished many of those “business-building to do’s” and I’ve been taking care of myself.  My business no longer controls me - I feel in control of my business! Thanks, Rosanne. “
