Success Stories

"Every session I walked away with a bit of a paradigm shift as a leader. It couldn't have gone better. I've grown so much in my confidence. The work has helped ground me. I belong where I am."

- Director of Development (small startup)
​2020 Coaching Accelerator Participant
"I started enumerating the eleventy billion things I needed to accomplish for the year. Meghan politely stopped me and said, 'Instead of focusing on what you want to do...You know what I want for you? I want you to feel grounded at the end of the year.' That was exactly the guidance I needed at that moment, and exemplifies what Meghan's coaching is so valuable. I've had so many moments like this with her, moments where she's opened my eyes with an insight and helped me realize exactly what I needed to do. She's my secret weapon."   

- Engineering Leader (Fortune 100 Tech Company)
"Meghan is an amazing individual who brings passion, energy, thoughtfulness, and innovation to each project she pursues. I had the pleasure of working with Meghan for over 6 years, beginning in 2012 when we partnered together on a custom designed program for a target audience of 1500+ engineers at Google. Meghan was the subject matter expert and I was the domain expert. She really pushed hard to make the program what it became. It is still running 8 years later."
