Testimonials
During COVID-19 some silver linings peaked through the dark clouds. For us this came in the form of Helen. As a ‘Charitable Trust’ undergoing change and ‘growing pains’, Helen was exactly who we needed. Although we had passion and ideas in abundance, we were grappling with structure and process. Helen skilfully and successfully harnessed our passion and structured our collective thinking...where there was chaos, there is now order and where there was fatigue, there is now enthusiasm!
Helen is highly efficient at understanding the dynamics of a team. She is able to make assessments and provide easy to implement recommendations for leadership. Helen has a way about her that really makes people lean in. I have had the pleasure of working with Helen over a number of years, with several of my teams, and I highly recommend her.
As a coach or team facilitator, Helen will meet you where you are and drive you to where you want to go. The openness, curiosity and insightful feedback she brings has pushed me and my teams gain clarity and connection. It is an absolute pleasure working with Helen
Helen took the time to really understand the inner workings and desires of our team, both as individuals and as a whole. The clarity she established through her coaching was immediately applicable, and she fostered a cohesive team environment at a time when it was sorely needed.
I have been privileged to work with Helen for over 5 years on my personal and professional growth. Helen’s ability to listen and frame her coaching and consulting ensured I was challenged to show up was a key to my success and my growth. Leadership takes exercise and practice, team development takes time and commitment. Coaching with Helen is challenging, tiring and honest and has helped produce a great team!
Helen and I originally co-designed and facilitated community building sessions that led to impactful and lasting organization wide change in a live-aboard coop. During that process Helen exhibited remarkable skills in communication, design, facilitation and working in partnership. She always brings insightful observations, relevant research and models to support learning and transformation. I've also had the experience of being coached by her personally and received a profound 'aha' that remains relevant years later.
Thank you for facilitating the Town hall meeting last week! A great success all around. Feedback I received was that this was the best town hall meeting we’ve ever had as an organization.
I was amazed how you managed to lead us through such a concise and effective process!
Helen has been instrumental in our growth as a united group and I can’t say enough about her spirit, methods, and the impact she created!
The benefits of a healthy work atmosphere have given my team a new perspective on what a successful workplace can be. Thank you for providing guidance, coaching, and introspection to my team and department, when we needed it most.
Helen has brought her passion for coaching and played a significant role in shaping the philosophy, strategy and programs that are used across health care in BC.
For more than a decade Helen has been my preferred consultant for team development and executive coaching. Her ability to develop customized services provides a tailored experience that gets to the crux of the need. Helen’s style builds quick rapport while ensuring that issues are addressed and as an executive coach she has been a key resource for my personal growth and development.
My coaching experience with Helen has been meaningful and rewarding. She helped me understand my strengths and truly own them. With her support and guidance, I’ve gained valuable insights that have empowered me to take on new challenges with confidence.
The coaching session we had was pivotal in giving me the confidence to transition from inpatient Dietitian to Program Coordinator of the BC Home Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Programs. I have had the pleasure of learning from Helen in various workshops over the years, including workshops offered during the Core Pathway Series 4 Cohort, which helped propel me into my current position as PCM of Medicine. I have always enjoyed her teaching style based in stories, positivity and humour. I will be forever grateful for Helen’s role in who I am as a leader!
The mentoring and coaching support from Helen for myself really added to the overall effectiveness of her planning process. I came away feeling I had a friend I could turn to, as well as being able to articulate to our Board of Trustees the way we saw our team fitting into the larger organisation and how to go about fixing The gaps! The process was so successful the board invited Helen to go through a similar process at Trust level. I can't thank Helen enough for the difference it has made in sorting out our growing pains as we've transitioned from a small scale, low key organisation to a much bigger, busier, connected, thriving one.
Thank you for your skilled facilitation of our Strategic Planning process! I can happily say this was the most pleasurable and fruitful planning process of the many I have been involved with, due to your clear and direct leadership of the process and ability to keep us all engaged (and under control!). I left each session feeling invigorated and energized.
