Wendy helped me prepare for a big speech and was truly amazing to work with!!! She not only helped me conquer my fear of public speaking, but helped me review and edit my speech and practice it until it I felt completely comfortable! She was warm, kind, supportive, and even reached out to encourage me the morning of my speech!! I HIGHLY recommend her services! It was a transformative experience for me! Love her ♥️

I have been working with Wendy for quite a while now. She is an AMAZING person. Wendy's lessons are extremely helpful, and fun! I am so grateful to have found someone who is dedicated to me learning and growing. When I started, I was afraid of my own voice. I did not want to be judge by my dialect or how I mispronounced words. With Wendy's help, I am now confident in the way and how I speak. Wendy has profoundly changed the way I think about words, and how I read. Wendy is incredibly patient and wants you to succeed. I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Wendy,!!

As a junior software engineer being forced into leading a crucial project following a mass layoff, I was overwhelmed and uncertain. That's when I turned to Wendy, seeking guidance to not only lead meetings effectively but also to master the art of note-taking while speaking. What continued was a year-long journey of immense professional and personal growth, all thanks to her expert coaching. Wendy's approach was tailored to my unique challenges. She provided practical strategies for leading meetings with confidence, a skill I initially lacked. Her lessons were not just theoretical; they were actionable insights that I could immediately apply in my daily interactions. This hands-on approach was important in my rapid development. But our sessions evolved beyond meeting leadership. In a male-dominated, competitive, and frankly toxic workplace, I struggled to find my voice. Wendy became my ally, guiding me through the intricacies of workplace dynamics. She taught me how to effectively communicate with my team and assert myself in a challenging environment. Perhaps the most pivotal moment came when she helped me navigate a career crossroad. Her insights were crucial in helping me give constructive feedback to my manager, strategize a team transfer, and eventually realize that my growth lay elsewhere. Her support during my layoff was invaluable. With her coaching, I honed my interview skills, which led me to land a new role in just two months. Now, in a more nurturing and supportive environment, I can see the full extent of Wendy's impact. She didn't just teach me skills; she helped me understand my worth and potential. I'm not just a better professional but a more confident individual because of her guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend her coaching to anyone facing professional challenges or seeking personal growth. Her personalized approach, combined with her genuine care for her clients, makes her an exceptional coach. Thank you for a transformative year and for being a guiding light house in my career journey, Wendy!
