"I feel so energized after our coaching sessions. I can see clearly now... you have a way of parting the clouds, helping me find silver linings, and acting as my accountability mirror."

"As I prepare to re-create my business, I am so grateful to have you, your guidance, and your kindness in my life. Your belief in me means a lot and inspires me!"

"Margie is an extraordinary coach because she is an extraordinary person. She has been an inspiring, dedicated partner and champion through a year of my changing literally every aspect of my life. This work is transformational - thank you, Margie!"

"A large part of what you helped me with was letting me know that you really could hear what I was saying. Once I knew this, my work could begin. You helped me recognize the need to slow down; all the changes aren't going to happen overnight and that's okay."

"Our coaching times were very effective. When I would first arrive, you always had ideas to share with me and suggestions on how I could reach my goals. I really felt as though you gave my situation and goals careful thought (which made me feel like you really cared)."

"By having assignments to complete for the next session, by the thought-provoking suggestions you make, by having someone be positive and encouraging when my doubts creep in (change is challenging even when it is desirable!), I have been able to spread my wings and try something new."

"When I first met you, you outlined your approach to coaching and it sounded like something I could handle - baby steps, so to speak. The fact that it was strengths-based coaching was appealing. I felt as though I couldn't fail! You mentioned that we would identify professionals/individuals in my areas of interest and that was a home run! .... You were the ultimate safety net!"

"You appropriately keep the focus on being a life coach, not a psychologist/psychiatrist. I realized that progress was ultimately my responsibility."

"I truly appreciate the high level or energy and enthusiasm in your voice. I've loved the exercises and the focusing you've helped me with."

"I wanted a partner who has a great understanding of how to empower people in process and how to honor others' needs. You are extraordinarily non-judgmental. It was easy to trust you and the process from the very beginning. Our time together has really been about experiencing support on the deepest level, with no agenda other than my well-being."

"There are so many people who need this. You've been such a tremendous asset, support and friend in my life. You are objective yet also able to be personal about it. You see situations from my viewpoint, too. There's no cold right or wrong. You are able to see it from a client's perspective and balance it with your objective insight."

"You have an ability to give feedback in such an honest, gentle way. This is huge!"

"You really listened to me, Margie. Setting weekly goals, the various surveys and suggested books were all very helpful."

"You are very good at helping keep things in perspective and keep focus on the positive and achievable. You helped me keep my dream alive and helped me look for all the flickers to keep it alive when I couldn't see them."

"I always feel better after talking with you. It's so easy to feel overwhelmed with what I'm doing and you help me to stay on track."

"I'm a middle aged widow. I know that I have made the right choice in working with you and that I am going to get on a new track. I can sleep at night. If anyone had said that I could lose my husband and would feel the way I do now I would have told them they were nutty! .... I know I can get myself turned around now, because of you."

"When I was too immersed or overwhelmed to get perspective, you were always there with succinct phrases to help me narrow down what I was saying."

"For years I walked through life, scared to take charge and whipped around by happenstance. Now at a time in my life when I should be very upset--- I am not upset. I met someone who can run the whole football field of life with me. She can hop from one topic to another and keep right up with viable comments/ideas/questions. Margie never misses a beat and does not let stressful things take her cheer/optimism away. The best part is that I have an action plan when I leave her office. I know I am moving forward."

"Your warm personality and enthusiasm made me instantly feel comfortable speaking with you. I needed the discipline and encouragement to explore what my next career might be. Thanks, Margie, you have been just what I needed!"

"Margie, you are a great co-pilot. You helped steer me in a positive direction. Your wisdom and guidance are priceless."

"I needed a re-do button and a life make-over. I now know what it means to be truly supported and to experience transition as an empowering process."
