Prior clients have delivered high-impact results in the 3-12 months after coaching, including:

Revenue Growth

Senior Partner at an executive search firm “meets expectations” in 2005. She began coaching in January, and doubled her total 2005 revenue in the first 6 months of 2006. This tremendous growth resulted from improved leadership and a newfound feeling that she deserves a “seat at the table” with her high level clients.

Vice President of Sales at UBS Financial lacked a coherent team and was failing to develop business. He grew the business 40% in the first year after coaching. “By streamlining my team’s business practices, I went from ‘good’ to ‘great’...and fast!”

Leadership and Innovation

Partner at Big 4 consulting firm was marginalized by a corporate merger. She bounced back with maximum confidence and within a year started a new line of business. This business quickly became the most profitable service line in the Southeast region. She reports she “made practical changes in behavior, is now more confident than ever and influential in the firm.“

Young CTO of a start-up company was a weak voice on the senior management team. He developed a clear technology vision that enabled profitable partnerships in priority areas. When the company was at a make-or-break juncture one year later, he successfully influenced the = management team and the Board to take a strategic direction that prevented the company’s dissolution. He reports being “more decisive,= more effective, more self trusting – and having more fun at work.”

Vice President at Oracle employed training for group and coaching of key contributors. Within weeks, reports that “productivity, morale, and team performance are at all-time high levels.”

"What you do is transformational versus incremental. In order to take their game to the next level, people often hire a coach. Some coaches are like trainers. They will make sure you do your reps and help you make incremental gains. What you do is help people do what Tiger Woods did. He knew he couldn't get his game to the next level by simply getting better at his current swing. So he went through a process to break his swing down and then rebuild it. His new swing fit him better and he played with greater ease and better scores. Your process is the same for being a leader -- it makes you more authentic, more powerful, and more influential."
Mark Bonchek, CEO Truman Company

"Coaching with Sharon has resulted in far more successes than I thought attainable. They include improved morale, increased teamwork and team spirit, and improved ability to offer guidance to my managers. She has an incredible ability to diagnose situations and get to root causes quickly. Her suggestions on how to change behavior have been simple and invaluable. Definitely one of the most rewarding experiences in my life."
AG, V.P., Pitney Bowes

"I've felt a surge in energy and breakthroughs in my confidence. I'm much more engaged with people in both personal and professional environments. Sharon has helped me to effectively and positively deal with stress in all facets of my life. This was awesome!"
M.G.,CEO, Boston based Biotech company

"I've built a new perspective and made practical changes in my behavior, reacting to challenging situations with logic and confidence. I am now truly enjoying the fruits of my decisions, finding myself in a very influential position in my firm and thoroughly enjoying the most satisfying time in my career."
Partner, PriceWaterhouseCoopers

"I went from "good" to "great" - and fast! I've never been more streamlined. I'm doing the things I've set out to do. My pipeline is more robust than it has been in 14 years. I had a lot of faith in the things you said, and when I applied them, they absolutely worked. This hit the bullseye!"
Peter Cleary, V.P., UBS Financial Services
