“I think of our coaching sessions just about everyday. They were incredibly helpful in moving through mental obstacles in my personal life and professional life. In my professional life, the obstacles are still there. I just navigate them differently.”

“I love her gentle guidance that is based on wisdom, intuitiveness and a wealth of experience. It's because of Courtney’s support that I am where I am.”

“My coaching relationship with Courtney had such a great impact in my recent career journey. Having her on my side and as a sounding board really helped clarify and untangle what is often not obvious in transition and development as a design leader. I appreciate how Courtney points out her observations with clarity. We explored them together, at my pace, which resulted in actionable insights that were authentic.”

“Courtney leads her Finding Joy workshop with warmth, creativity, and humor. I found an opportunity to connect, learn and challenge myself in an intimate and supportive group that works to break patterns and make new discoveries.”

“Working with Courtney helped me identify my strengths and forced me to think about where I excel. My interview prep with her helped refine and sculpt ideas about who I am. We built cohesive stories about the experience I have. Today, I have a better understanding of my big picture. I have clarity about my career and what I want it to look like.”

“I moved to the Bay Area right before the Pandemic and have been looking for my next role here. Working with Courtney gave me the edge that I was missing. It was hard connecting with people during such a strange time and also to connect in a way that went beyond the surface. Courtney has been such an amazing guide through this whole journey. She has helped me to showcase the best version of me so I can find the perfect role for my new life.”

“My coaching conversations with Courtney are calming and comforting, while also helping me claim and cultivate the career and lifestyle I want. Courtney welcomes my ideas and gives me strategies to uncover hurdles. She shows me the patterns in my life that are supporting my creativity and those that are causing conflict. I’ve learned that coaching is not remedial, it’s necessary. It’s the edge and nudge that keeps me committed to the life I want to live.”

“During a period of tremendous transformation in most areas of my life, I was guided to Courtney’s coaching. I had lingering blindspots that were preventing me from making the final push to step into a new career. Working with her has been such a gift. Her warm, grounded energy and clear guidance is a force. With her support and direction, I moved through some pretty intense emotions that ultimately empowered me to make the plunge into purpose-fueled work.”

“Being a part of the inaugural Finding Joy workshop was such a special experience. It felt like a true act of resistance to choose joy despite all we have been dealt this year. I found this workshop to be just the right balance of opening my eyes while also being tangible, actionable and accessible. I immediately started leveraging these new tools which transformed multiple relationships in my life. One of the most meaningful takeaways for me was that finding joy is not just about seeking out joyous experiences, but also in addressing the things that can leak joy or make joy feel inaccessible.”

“I have always hated change and Courtney was extremely helpful in helping to ease my nerves. During COVID, we spoke a lot about making changes to adapt to the "new norm". In one session, we practiced a body scan to help ease some of my anxiety. From there, we kept building new habits to check in with my anxiety. Courtney helped to change my perspective on owning the things I can control and letting go of the things I can’t.”

"I was working 10 hours a day and knew I wanted a change but I was too overwhelmed to begin the process. Weekends and evenings were my time to zone out. By working with Courtney, I became unstuck by seeing I could make the time commitment to meet with her. From those meetings, I was able to take new steps, reconnect with my networks and explore new ideas.” - Heather H.
