Success Stories

“As a new coach, just establishing my coaching practice, I needed a coach to help me focus on meeting some specific goals.  Stacy provided a caring, professional, coaching environment where I felt safe and encouraged to take on new challenges and explore opportunities.

Stacy’s ability to ask powerful questions and challenge mental models has created a foundation for new learning and greater accomplishment.  With Stacy’s help, my new coaching practice is growing and I now have the confidence to explore new dreams and possibilities.”

“The High Performance Speaking program is one of the most enlightening programs I have ever taken part in. Stacy taught me to challenge myself and utilize my creativity, by doing so I was able to capture my audience. She taught me professionalism in my appearance and presentation. Stacy gave me the confidence to speak with authority on my topic. I highly recommend Stacy as a coach to anyone speaking in front of a group, large or small.”

“In the time that I have spent working with Stacy, I have come to some deeper understandings about my position, my company and my satisfaction in them.  I started our sessions with serious questions about whether I was in the right position and in the right organization.  Through several coaching sessions, I have come to realize that I am, indeed, happy with my position and company – the thing that was missing was my acceptance of that fact.”

The result of working closely with Stacy has been three-fold, greater satisfaction, productivity and enthusiasm on my part.  I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Stacy for the services she provides and the tremendous learning experience I have been exposed to.”

“I was fortunate to have Stacy Waddell as a coach during a very difficult transition in my career.  I had decided to go out on my own again after having been in a full-time salaried job for several years.  Stacy helped me to find the courage to pursue my dreams.  At the same time, I was recovering from a biking accident and had to deal with the pain associated with a back injury.  Stacy skillfully kept me focused on my goals despite the difficulties I was facing both physically and emotionally.  Each time we spoke, she was able to identify the issues that were most important, encourage me to focus on these, and move past the discomfort to remain on track towards my goals.  By being empathic and supportive while maintaining a persistent focus on what she knew to be my life/career goals, Stacy helped me to tackle tough issues and manage the associated stress so I could make the transition that I had put off for some time.  She is a skilled coach.”
