Testimonials

 
Toni [can] unlock the full potential of engineering leadership talent… introverted leaders are stepping out of their shells, speaking up and speaking authoritatively even on contentious issues… showing up with quiet confidence and without the false bravado and domineering tactics the tech industry has become infamous for. Gifted individuals are expressing themselves in their own authentic voices while creating safe spaces for others to do the same

Toni helped me to prepare for a TED Talk and was instrumental in its success. She made innumerable suggestions on content and on my presentation performance, enhancing the speech and my presence. I sometimes get nervous before a presentation, but I felt confident thanks to her tips.

Toni is incredibly intuitive, a wonderful listener, calming, compassionate, caring, and highly pragmatic. Her long and successful tenure working in the financial services industry means that she understands firsthand the complexities and politics of working in large organizations. Her high level of insight matched with expertise really makes the difference as a professional coach. Her support and kindness really helped me through a challenging period and as we worked through an action plan together, I felt like a huge weight was being lifted. I’m very grateful to have worked with her and would highly recommend her coaching services.

I recently acquired a much larger global team; Toni made me aware of how others perceive me and helped me understand long-held inner beliefs that held me back from being a stronger leader. Also, she helped me pivot my communication style depending on who I’m speaking to. Powerful stuff.

Combining her knowledge of neuroscience and decades of first-hand professional experiences, her approach to coaching is personal and effective. The techniques and framework she uses made such a difference in my career. Only after a few meetings, I saw tangible results.

I recently transitioned into a leadership role and Toni’s coaching has helped me tremendously. Navigating around uncharted territory in corporate America can be overwhelming and through Toni’s coaching I am able to focus and compartmentalize. This helped me balance the demands of my new role – I went from being an independent contributor and managing zero people to leading a team that runs client reporting for a business in a large financial institution and managing 8 people. Toni taught me what the difference is between a manager and leader, and through our coaching, I am building the confidence and skills I need to be successful.
— Director, Major Investment Banking
 

 
Toni has helped me be a more effective leader and a better example to my immediate direct reports. She helped me understand what strengths to play to and which traits were holding back trust within our team.
I learned to bring on my best-self and the best in my direct reports.
