" Sandi's exceptional skills in facilitating leadership retreats, coaching executives and analyzing personality tests such as the Birkman Assessment are what separate her from other consultants. She appropriately incorporates her practical executive experiences and industry knowledge to help executives tap into their hidden strengths and reach their potential. In addition to being very well received and respected by her colleagues, Sandi has also been recognized by our executives as a highly intelligent and motivated individual with sound leadership attributes herself. Without question, integrity is the cornerstone of Sandi's personality. I can assure you that she will prove to add value to your executive team. "

"Sandi recently led our leadership team through the Birkman. Her ability to gain insights through the personal 1:1’s immediately created a sense of trust and openness. Sandi’s background as a CEO offers tremendous advantage as our group had an increased willingness to candidly engage and grow as a team. Thank you Sandi for the 1/2 day workshop and challenging us to remember to carve out time to think BLUE"

" I was fortunate enough to have been coached by Sandi in 2018. I am humbled to have come out of the program a stronger and more confident leader and a more confident woman in the technical/engineering space. Sandi and I worked through real life scenarios and it armed me with the skills to be more strategic in my approach to the market and to better understand that my ability to be an influential leader far outweighs the necessity to have control.

"Having been on the receiving end of Sandi's executive coaching, I can to attest to her expertise in this area. Her ability to introduce "tactical" skills and tools to a situation, balanced with her intuition from years of experience as a leader served me well during our time together. Most importantly, Sandi is a great listener, a skill all too often underutilized and undervalued by those serving as "coach". Sandi will no doubt play a critical role in the personal and career development for other leaders who are the recipients of her wisdom and coaching."

I have engaged Sandi to work with Illumiti's HR department and Executive Team; interview representative employees at all levels across our company; and recommend steps, practices and initiatives we can take to improve both employee engagement and retention. Sandi took a pragmatic approach to this consulting engagement, which she adapted to match our particular context and needs. She produced a report that built upon the steps Illumiti has already taken in these areas and proposed additional items - several of which were approved for implementation within the company in a staged approach, starting immediately. During this engagement Sandi demonstrated flexibility to accommodate some unplanned circumstances . I am also working with Sandi on an executive coaching assignment with one of my direct reports and would be happy to engage her for other relevant assignments in future. Sandi brings her extensive executive experience to bear, delivers quality, and is a pleasure to work with!

I wasn't sure what my journey would be like beginning with executive coaching. Sandi was amazing in setting up goals for us and leading me through every step. She took the time to learn what is important to me and targeted a growth plan from there. She gave me tools to mentor other leaders and be more effective. She also helped me face some difficult challenges and find a clear voice to help me navigate. I credit Sandi with helping me 'Level Up' my skills. I highly recommend her coaching. I love being involved in her alumni network as well. Invest in yourself and you will never regret it!

I had the pleasure of working with Sandi immediately following my promotion to a higher level of leadership. She is an exceptional coach who provided me with tools that I use to this day and share with my leaders to help them get the most out of their teams, manage their own objectives, navigate changing landscapes, and engage in and foster creative problem solving. I left all of our sessions with a new perspective on how I was approaching my business and a clearer vision on how to prioritize the issues and opportunities I was facing. I have told many colleagues and friends that the time I had with Sandi was one of the greatest gifts my company has ever given me.
