I hired Claire to help me negotiate a particularly challenging and complicated executive "moment" in my career. Claire clearly brought the broad experience to assist, but what was unanticipated was her particular skill in focusing, bringing actionable clarity and really assisting me in adapting the realities of my career in the moment to the entire suite of options I had in front of me. Claire is very clearly able to rapidly help bridge one's career, current situations and organizational realities into a set of options that are usable and valuable. Claire's value for me was extraordinarily higher than I expected

Claire’s coaching aligned with my transition to a Senior Vice President. I found her to be an intense listener and valued thought partner who was able to take feedback from others and provide insight for my consideration. At every juncture, I felt authentically true to who I am while evolving in my leadership acumen. I have since utilized Claire to coach others in my organization. She provides a bespoke and safe coaching experience with profound results.

Claire and I started working together after I moved into a highly visible enterprise wide role. Claire has been incredibly meticulous, engaging and most importantly empathetic coach, and was able to unlock hidden triggers that have prevented me from being a more effective leader and coach to my team.

CEO, Energy Industry

I recently left a large global money center bank, where I had worked for many years as a Managing Director, to accept a new position as President of an independent community bank. I engaged Claire to help with my ‘On Boarding’ process. Claire has become a trusted partner and advisor; she listens intently, asks good questions and is not afraid to offer her thoughts when asked. Her counsel was key in my goal of getting off to a great start. Claire continues to work with me, and is engaged with the bank as we integrate a number of industry best practices in our Human Resource function.

CEO, Regional Bank

Following a customized Leadership Development workshop that Claire designed and facilitated for my senior team on “Effective Delegation and Conflict Management” a big breakthrough occurred between myself and the CFO – We realized that we needed to spend more time on revenue-creating opportunities, and actively focus on delegating any other activities. This new mindset has caused us to make some pivotal changes in the organization.
