PERFORMANCE COACH, TRAINER AND SPEAKER

Working with Mandy was a smart move I made to grow my business. As a new business owner I needed to start from the basics. Mandy helped me to hone my business story/message, reach out for speaking engagements, find ideal clients, price my services and much more.

Mandy not only kept me focused on my goals while supporting me when I bumped into road blocks, but she was there to remind me, each week, where I am now and where I want to be. This was priceless since I (as many other people) tend to “forget” my goals and where I want to take my business. Mandy sure knows how to help small business owners build there business. If it wasn’t for her guidance and support, I would probably still feel stuck and unsure of the right direction for my business.

Now I’m much more focused, results driven and clear about how to take my business to the next level and generate the income I desire!

My entire attitude about my business has changed since I met Mandy. More importantly my attitude about myself has changed as well.

I was never able to say "No" to my clients, charities, or anyone that asked for a favor. I put everyone before myself. This left me working 16 hours a day, seven days a week. Mandy taught me how to value my personal time while remaining responsible to my clients. The shift for them has been a little difficult, but the 6am and 10pm calls have stopped. I now select the organizations to which I donate my time, I have set office hours, and I make time for my friends. I am healthier, happier, and much more productive. Now I am excited about my work and I truly enjoy my time with friends and family without my former guilt.

I cannot say enough about Mandy's insight, humor, and genuine dedication to understanding each client's individual needs.

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.

She knows business and has practical suggestions to help me in places where I struggle, and gives me confidence to keep moving forward. Mandy helps me confront my biggest challenges, keeps me focused and helps me achieve the goals and vision for my 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.

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.
