As a junior software engineer being forced into leading a crucial project following a mass layoff, I was overwhelmed and uncertain. That's when I turned to Wendy, seeking guidance to not only lead meetings effectively but also to master the art of note-taking while speaking. What continued was a year-long journey of immense professional and personal growth, all thanks to her expert coaching. Wendy's approach was tailored to my unique challenges. She provided practical strategies for leading meetings with confidence, a skill I initially lacked. Her lessons were not just theoretical; they were actionable insights that I could immediately apply in my daily interactions. This hands-on approach was important in my rapid development. But our sessions evolved beyond meeting leadership. In a male-dominated, competitive, and frankly toxic workplace, I struggled to find my voice. Wendy became my ally, guiding me through the intricacies of workplace dynamics. She taught me how to effectively communicate with my team and assert myself in a challenging environment. Perhaps the most pivotal moment came when she helped me navigate a career crossroad. Her insights were crucial in helping me give constructive feedback to my manager, strategize a team transfer, and eventually realize that my growth lay elsewhere. Her support during my layoff was invaluable. With her coaching, I honed my interview skills, which led me to land a new role in just two months. Now, in a more nurturing and supportive environment, I can see the full extent of Wendy's impact. She didn't just teach me skills; she helped me understand my worth and potential. I'm not just a better professional but a more confident individual because of her guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend her coaching to anyone facing professional challenges or seeking personal growth. Her personalized approach, combined with her genuine care for her clients, makes her an exceptional coach. Thank you for a transformative year and for being a guiding light house in my career journey, Wendy!

Wendy is a rare gem of a mentor, consistently showing up with engaged, present, and actionable advice week after week. Her direct yet kind approach and genuine desire to see her students succeed set her apart. She doesn't believe in a one-size-fits-all model but rather invests time in understanding each individual's signature style and words, helping them craft authentic talks. Wendy has profoundly impacted my journey, and if you're serious about elevating your stage game, she's the ultimate wingwoman you've been searching for—stop looking and start shining under her guidance.

Wendy was an excellent coach. She is very present and attentive, flexible and dynamic, tailoring our discussions to my needs and goals. She is also kind and professional. Even though it was a short period, I learned a great deal from our sessions together, not only from the content but also from how she delivered coaching and interacted with me. I was quite hesitant to get online coaching, but I was certainly glad I took the plunge.
