1:1 leadership & Performance Coaching

Naomi’s coaching sessions were truly a life-changing experience for me, both professionally and personally. She uses mindfulness exercises at the start of her sessions to ground you to be ready to receive all of what her sessions have to offer. From personality assessments that have helped me learn how I operate in the workplace, to understanding the gaps in my career lifecycle and how I can use my experience to grow to the next level; her coaching sessions have left me with mindful reminders that help me through my workday, life changes and discovery of who I am. 

Working with Naomi came at a time when I was between opportunities and needed clarity and direction. She has a warm, comforting presence that immediately puts you at ease, but she also knows how to challenge you in a thoughtful, constructive way. The calm and supportive atmosphere Naomi created helped me show up with focus and openness for each session. She helped me get clear on my values, define what I wanted for my career, and build a plan to get there. She also challenged some of the self-doubt I was carrying and helped me tap back into my strengths and confidence. Our sessions were practical, reflective, and incredibly empowering. Naomi's approach helped me step into my full potential. I couldn’t recommend her more highly as a coach. 

I worked with Naomi during a difficult career transition, and she was incredibly helpful and kind throughout the process. I had been in between jobs, and I was unhappy with the options presented to me; Naomi helped me see my situation from different vantage points and challenged me to think of my situation in a different way. She is a great listener, she’s open-minded, and understanding. I am grateful for Naomi’s help, and I think anyone who is at a crossroads in their career can benefit from Naomi’s coaching skills. 

As a result of the winds of change blowing, I hoisted my sails and found myself travelling in uncharted waters. I began working with Naomi as a result of floundering in those waters.

Through her gentle questioning and insightful probing, Naomi has a knack for finding that little seashell that needs to be opened and explored. She reflects back what she has heard and observed, which at times caused me angst, but was exactly what I needed. She challenged, energized, inspired, took me out of my comfort zone, and pushed me to dig deep into myself to allow me to develop new perspectives and strategies for dealing with situations using my own knowledge and self-awareness.

Recognizing that I am a lifelong learner, Naomi fed my curiosity by introducing me to theories and research. The thought-provoking conversations which occurred after my reading the new to me information resulted in my gaining a deeper understanding of myself, both as a person and as a professional.

Wither the winds take me, there shall I go, buoyed by the courage gained through Naomi’s coaching.

Naomi takes a positive inquiry and nonconfrontational approach to her coaching.  She is an active listener and reflects back to you key insights using her keen knowledge, skill, and experience.  Each coaching session revealed little gems of truth that allowed me to consider other ways of thinking and acting. The benefits and values of professional coaching with Naomi allow you to move forward from areas where you may be stuck and open up opportunities to experience positive change, even if it is only small steps at a time.  I would highly recommend Naomi for professional coaching.  Her years of experience in numerous areas in her career, her skills, tools, and knowledge in coaching, and her authenticity make the experience profound. 

Naomi's coaching program exceeded my expectations by far. During our sessions, Naomi encouraged me to speak about any knowledge gaps and stand in them without shame or embarrassment. I was never made to feel as if I should be further along in my knowledge or that I was further behind my colleagues. Naomi was incredibly patient and understanding, willing to share her vulnerabilities and walk me through what my goals were as a professional and a leader. Many tools and courses could teach any team member about project management, but a program management coaching program is a personalized approach that creates a safe learning environment to make mistakes and ask questions. 

A key benefit of this program was finding confidence in my voice, my decisions, and the work that I produce. This coaching program left me with not only the practical skills needed to be a Program Manager but also the confidence I need to be a successful leader and change-maker within my organization. I have been commended on my work since starting the coaching program, and it’s clear that from the first sessions, there was a direct impact on the way I work individually and collaboratively.
