Request Introductory Call

“Merle’s executive coaching and mentoring significantly contributed to my success as a passionate and authentic leader in an extremely complex and politically sensitive environment of healthcare and research. From the first time I met with Merle, she understood me and tactfully challenged me to consider different approaches. She pushed me outside my comfort zone, while helping me stay tuned to personal values. Within a short while, I was able to be more diplomatic with my business relationships and more effective at influencing organizational change. She pushed me to think differently, to behave differently and being more like my ideal self.”

“I had no real expectations having done 360s before. The previous debriefs had been underwhelming at best. Merle really changed my perceptions of the follow-ups. She aligned what was being seen by others with the work I was undertaking and still yet had the wonderful audacity to speak of alignment of work to what feeds my spirit. I have since left the organization for other pursuits, and Merle’s recommendations played a big part in me analyzing my next career move and developing a plan for success. I remain in contact with Merle. She is phenomenal at what she does! I would recommend time with her to anyone who wants a different perspective – One that is thoughtful and insightful. She’s not just a coach... she’s a success partner.”

“Merle was my first (and only) coach. As an introvert, I tend to be guarded with people I don’t know well and abhor meaningless small talk. Her casual and caring demeanor creates an inviting environment conducive to deep and honest discussion. She is an exceptional listener, her advice and suggestions are spot on, and both my professional life and personal life have benefitted greatly from her wisdom. With Merle, I am quite fortunate to have hit the coaching jackpot on my first try!”
