"It has been a pleasure working with you in this program, as I have enjoyed your warm and genuine style of teaching and coaching. I appreciate the fact you are truly an expert in this coaching field, one of the best I've met. You really understand what it means to be an effective coach. As a mentor coach, you have a great ability to provide feedback and instruction in a way that is knowledgeable, constructive and kind. You were able to be intuitive about what was needed in each session, allowing the session to be tailored to my particular needs. I thank you for creating a space that made me feel comfortable and safe, while providing expert level mentor coaching. You have helped me gain more confidence in not just coaching techniques, but also in my specific personality type, which empowers me to believe I can be successful in this field." - M.T.
"I used to dwell on the past and get caught up in thinking about the future. I've realized that what happened in the past doesn't have to effect me right now. Before, my happiness rested on other people's oppinions of me. Now I'm more focused on me and what feels right. I can recognize my inner critic and know what it is instead of letting it take over..." - Teen
"I would tell anyone considering working with Maggie to go for it! I was hesitant at the beginning because I didn't think we could work through things very well just through the phone, but Maggie has great methods, and I could literally feel myself changing week by week. Just by talking on the phone I felt like I knew Maggie because she was so supportive and helpful. I truly came out of the 12 weeks a happier, more confident person." - Una L.
"I'm ten times more confident. I can like what I like. When something is hard, I don't have to think something is going to kill me. I can think, "Okay, it's not going to be like this forever." I can see that it's a thought trap now and I can let it go." - Teen
"He is doing much better! We had a conversation and it was the most honest and realistic conversation I have had with him in a long time. It was a delight. He is very happy with the effort he has put into school this time around. When I talk with him I just have to smile. Thanks for all your work with him" – Parent
"Our sessions really helped build my confidence and made me believe in myself a lot more than before. You opened my eyes to a number of possibilities and made me realize that I dont have to compromise for my happiness. You helped my accountability and made me act on my desires, and that is something that will benefit me for a long time to come. Thanks for all your help!" – R.W.
"... our son feels he has more confidence in himself, and he is much more focused and positive about his future options. He said that the sessions helped him realize that he can think outside the box and not have to “settle” for a traditional career path. Also, the exercises helped reinforce his beliefs about who he is and what he values. In essence, he’s beginning to trust his instincts more and follow what he truly values. He’s getting out of his comfort zone and going for it – yay!" – Parent

You'll never know how much our time together helped me. Thank you!" - Teen

"Maggie is supportive, encouraging, insightful, understanding, professional, and was able to draw out the best in me.

Maggie's dedication to facilitating the training has been flawless." - Michelle B.
