What Clients Say

  • "Sandy is amazing! She has enabled me to become a better leader and enjoy life much more. She has this uncanny ability to notice things about you that are still in your subconscious but that show up through subtle expressions in your body language. As a result, sometimes it feels like she knows me better than I know myself. Not only that, but she is absolutely brilliant at conveying those insights without casting judgment, which makes the whole process joyful rather than painful. I've always seen myself as a person who has been rational and in control of my emotions. What Sandy has taught me is that, much like a bridge can break by being too stiff, a human can become less emotional and more rational by seizing some of that control and allowing it to come to the surface. This allows me to make better decisions, use less energy, and find more joy in running my business."

    Carl Hasselskog | CEO/Founder Instabridge

  • "When my co-founder suggested we get an executive coach, I was curious how this would help me. I had been working with a phenomenal therapist for 15 years and was having a lot of professional and personal success. Sandy helped me realize there was a whole world of possibility tuning into my emotions and intuition at work. During our two plus years working together, we have traversed through a wide variety of issues, from tactical to the core of my self image, values, and beliefs about the world. The consistent result has been to see reality more clearly, learn how to adapt to the rapid change that happens in a startup, and perhaps most importantly (and unexpectedly), a massive increase in my ability to connect to my wife and kids at home."

    Blair Silverberg | Fintech CEO/Founder

  • "Sandy has helped me to integrate parts of my life that were working independently but not feeding off of each other, and as a result I was far from achieving my potential. While my life will always be a work in progress and I will always have blind spots, I know that - with Sandy in my corner - I have a partner to navigate with through important situations. That confidence makes me a better founder, CEO, parent, and husband, and frankly, it makes the journey of life a lot more fun!"

    Client | Fintech CEO/Founder

  • "Sandy goes way beyond the obvious 'break fix' approach. She quickly developed a deep understanding of me, not only as a leader, but as a person. We would work through my situational experiences in a way that allowed me to look at myself, and then turn around and foster a team dynamic and strategy that reflects my values and big vision for the company. Because I felt empowered to communicate a clear strategy, our leaders have grown far beyond their own limitations as well. Sandy's work extended far beyond just the two of us. The takeaway? Start with yourself and go deep; you’ll be surprised at how the people around you will also evolve when you are clearly aligned with your purpose."
