She is very receptive with all things I would like to speak about, and when I am not sure she always gives me ideas on what we can talk about. We've...

Fred DiLuzio
I purchased coaching sessions as a gift for a good friend who owns a small personal training business. He received excellent coaching and guidance in growing his client base, setting a strategic direction, and utilizing his own personal network of experienced business leaders for ongoing support and accountability. His coach was experienced in small business leadership and it was truly beneficial. Highly recommended for all levels of business leaders.

Chris Sier, my Donna Schilder Coach, was intuitive and saw beyond the information I provided her to help me uncover aspects of my shadow self from previous traumas I really wanted to shine a light on to address patterns that no longer served me as a leader.

Leadership Coaching Outcomes

“Through our Leadership Coaching work together I made progress toward all of my initial goals for Coaching. I now spend more time building relationships with my peers, staff, and superiors, which greatly benefits me in my work.

In addition, I have set aside time for Strategic Thinking and have used most of the strategic thinking tools you provided to me to shape my strategic thinking activities.

I recently sent my thoughts from one of those strategic thinking sessions to my boss and it was very impactful to our business.

I am also stronger at inspiring, recognizing, and encouraging my staff. And Coaching changed the way I look at myself and others in a positive way and impacted how I interact in meetings. By planning before most of my meetings now I find that I am more successful at getting what I need for my department and in influencing others. . . ” — B.M., Marketing Director
