“Working with Debbie through the Weatherhead Coaching Program helped me to think about my career as well as my personal aspirations in ways I hadn’t previously considered. She created a safe atmosphere to explore all facets of my life which naturally impacts work and home. She asked thought provoking questions and provided thoughtful feedback which facilitated true personal growth. The tools Debbie used in our coaching sessions and the manner in which she used them allowed me to get to a self-realization I didn’t know was possible. For anyone looking to grow and develop both personally and professionally, they would be fortunate to call Debbie ”Coach.“”

“My experience with Debbie was like having a life coach/psychologist. I really enjoyed our conversations. Quite frankly I found them to be almost therapeutic and helpful both professionally and personally!”

“The Weatherhead coaching process was a great way to look at my life holistically and focus on the areas that I really wanted to improve. My coach Debbie was upbeat, positive, and easy to talk to. I found that the sessions were a pleasurable experience and from our first meeting Debbie put me at ease and really made me think about what it was I wanted to do. I was able to structure my thoughts and goals in a way that I’d never thought of before, helping me focus on the things that really mattered to me and how they tied to my ideal self. After several meetings it was also clear to me that Debbie is not only a genuine person but really cared about me. I have already seen positive impacts in both my personal and professional life since finishing the program.”

“I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. We weren’t given much info in advance and I thought maybe it would be much like coaching sessions I had experienced throughout my career. Unlike those experiences though I actually looked forward to attending my sessions with Debbie. They were relaxing, engaging and thought provoking. I really felt as though the sessions were about me. Debbie asked the right questions through casual conversations that lead me to conclusions and strategies for the future. I have learned from the experience and have applied the techniques to my coaching sessions with my employees.”
