PERFORMANCE COACH, TRAINER AND SPEAKER

I’m so grateful for Mandy!  She’s given me a new focus and direction for Star Polisher that feels really, really good!  I’m so excited about my business again and inspired to make the commitment and go forward!

Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!

I had grown so complacent with my ten year old business and was generally running out of creative steam. Mandy was just the shot in the arm my business needed. I am now holding myself and the people around me accountable. I found leads I didn’t know I had, hired a new sales person, and best of all, my sales are going up.  Before I hired Mandy, I had the feeling that my business was slipping away…. Now it’s: get out of my way or keep up. I’m going to hire Mandy again in four months to make sure I stay on task!  Thanks Mandy, for your insight, intelligence and generous spirit. You really know how to motivate.

Perhaps the greatest lesson Mandy taught me is to look inward, to trust myself. Having a vision has never been my problem. I am a big picture person. For me, the challenge is having the confidence to go forth – and the commitment to take action. From my first coaching session with Mandy, I began taking steps toward achieving new heights in business.

Before working with Mandy, I was ready to give up a bunch of long time clients because I was feeling overwhelmed with my workload. Since working with Mandy, I have not only regained peace of mind enough to stick with the clients who have been loyal to me, but also the confidence to take on even more work without feeling stressed.

With her constant support and fresh ideas for solving old problems, I met my previous challenges head on: I got my bookkeeping in order; regained focus and excitement for the direction I wanted to be heading; found clarity concerning my work relationships.

I am ever so grateful to Mandy for her careful listening and her easy ability for solutions. She helped me listen better myself to my own needs and dreams for my business and reminded me of my favorite part of having my own business—getting to be the creator! Thank you, Mandy.

Meeting Mandy at a networking event was a stroke of great luck for my business. I was beginning my sixth year of operation and felt like I was losing steam with sales down 5% the previous year. I wasn’t a new business anymore and I felt I had exhausted my contacts and my inspiration. Mandy was so excited about the technology I offer and clearly had the intelligence and experience to be of great service to me. With Mandy’s help and insights, I contacted people on my chicken list. That led to successes which spurred me to work with more focus. She taught me how to find the “low-hanging fruit” and increase my sales with minimal effort. In a year that has seen job loss and foreclosures, my business has increased 15%. I’m happy for the gains and am excited for the future as my newly honed skills become solidified.

If your business isn’t quite where you want it to be and you’re not sure what to do about it, call Mandy. I recommend her enthusiastically, without hesitation or reservation.

My company, HOMER, an ed tech start up based in New York engaged Mandy as a Leadership Coach for our executive team a little over a year ago. Since that time, Mandy has received universal positive reviews from every one of our Managers. Her coaching has had a measurable impact on the team's ability to have direct conversations, create structures for accountability, and think strategically. All of which has positively impacted company performance. Coaching has been one of the most worthwhile investments HOMER has made to date.

I’m an artist and am so absorbed in the details of creating each piece that I didn’t make the time to run the business. With Mandy’s coaching I have been able to organize my studio practices, increase productivity, better anticipate deadlines, and look ahead to opportunities in the coming years. I may not be her typical client, but the expertise and enthusiasm that she applied to working with me have made an incredible difference in how I approach the business side of art.
