“Stacy is such a kind and caring person, which enables her to be a fantastic coach. She is able to thread the needle between so many of a client’s life experiences, and guide the client to their own conclusions about their thoughts and attitudes towards work - and then set realistic goals to work through them. Stacy has been such a valuable presence in my career growth and stage of life, and I hope to continue to interact with her in the future. Highly recommend her services - she will help to unlock great potential!”
