You know you’re a high performer, and so does your company. That’s why you were promoted to the stretch assignment. You also know how difficult it is to transition from the skills that promoted you to what you will need to excel now. Nothing has prepared you for this. You need a safe place to battle the inner voice that breeds self-doubt. You need support to help you step up. You need a “pacing partner” to run this new race with you.

You’re seasoned, you know your stuff and you’ve done well. You also know you need to polish a few leadership areas to elevate your game. A sounding board would provide honest feedback about areas that might be holding you back. Someone to lend perspective and stretch you to be better positioned for a bigger role.

“I realized through my time with Toni that I was shrinking to fit instead of expanding to fill as a senior female, African American executive…..I believe I am more intentional around how I show up. I can identify unhelpful mindsets and immediately shift my thinking, perspective and energy. My default was low confidence and lots of internal saboteur dialogue. Now I am much more self-aware of my internal environment, able to identify the inner saboteur early and fight back.”
“Here’s what I know to be true regardless of the “hat” she’s wearing: [Toni is] kind, direct and generous. She has an uncanny ability to cut through the clutter and get to the heart of the matter – so you can see your own vision more clearly. And, she’s the perfect combination of strategic, practical and tactical. I am unabashedly biased, because I know whether you hire her as a consultant or coach, it’ll be the best darn money you’ll spend.”
Toni is a really great listener and was great at adapting her approach to my unique situation. I felt like Toni gave me the real-deal in a way that was productive and that influenced my interactions with teammates in a positive way….she never minced words and constantly asked questions to challenge my thinking…..the tactics that I’ve learned have driven [me] to more decisions and action steps than prior to my coaching engagement.
Very grateful to have had an opportunity to work with Toni and I look forward to further insights from her. I will take these lessons with me throughout my career. I really feel she is helping me to get to the next level…. She asks the hard questions and puts a mirror up in a non-threatening way….She calls me up higher and challenges me to step up my game.
Toni was a valuable sounding board [who] pushed and challenged me to think [with] more depth and complexity….. For a first-time leader in [a] brand new position, I think Toni offered a lot of really valuable insight and often helped me from getting ahead of myself and thinking through the challenges of my role in a more manageable way.
Toni took the time to understand my world from my perspective. I felt she was always for me and my growth….When discussing ways I can grow and improve my leadership, it was always from a strengths-based perspective. I always felt seen as a leader, giving me lots of space to talk about ways that my leadership could get even better. Toni has tons of experience and expertise to draw from, so she quickly saw areas to examine and probe…she’d seen it before. I trust Toni to call it like she sees it.
The tangible outcomes for me as a leader were identifying my triggers, growth opportunities and how to leverage my strengths….Keeping these things in mind helps me to prepare, be more intentional, and more strategic with how I approach my job….[Toni is] direct, but compassionate, and solution-oriented. Toni’s approach to coaching is about creating self-awareness to lean into strengths and to be aware of opportunities to show up as the best version of yourself.
Toni’s expert coaching instilled a sense of confidence and competence as I re-worked goals for unprecedented times and sought to guide a community through stormy waters. She listened deeply, exhibited agile flexibility, and brought her expertise to bear in deeply relevant ways. I would highly recommend her coaching services!
“Partnering with Toni was a wonderful experience….(she) walks through the process with you step by step. Toni has a unique approach and skill that allows her to fully understand your desires and this enables her to set up a program customized just for you. She is honest and provides constructive and effective feedback.”
“The highlight of my coaching engagement was the establishment of a relationship …..that was based on honesty, integrity and the true desire to help me achieve my goals. (Toni) kept my bar raised and helped to push me further than I would have gone on my own.”
