“As I prepare to engage on my international job assignment, I have been reflecting on the events leading up to this exciting opportunity and I credit my executive coaching engagement with Cheryl Good as being a key contributor. When I decided to engage a coach, I had limited experience with the process and I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical as to what benefits might come and how long they might take to materialize.
Any skepticism was short-lived. Even before our first session ended, I remember being amazed at the clear and measurable value Cheryl was bringing to the table and how pleasant it was to engage in her high-energy, encouraging and fun personality. Since then, I continue to be impressed with Cheryl’s timely and creative access to a broad inventory of tools and exercises that often appear customized to my particular situation.”

“During the past several years we have benefited from Cheryl’s expertise in a number of ways. She introduced us to a Management Model that allows every individual to better understand their roles and what is expected from them. We can use this model to increase accountability for results, provide clarity to applicants and communicate goals and standards.
The assessments, tools, resources, training and development that she provided has enabled us to more effectively manage our employees by reducing conflict, managing change, staff motivation, improved employee
relations, increase meeting effectiveness and ultimately improve overall productivity.
I look forward to our continued partnership with Performance Solutions and believe that Organizational Development consulting is very important to our organization.”

“Your facilitation of Board of Director meetings, senior leader discussions and operational meetings has been most helpful in terms of improving our execution, communication, alignment and decision making abilities. As a result, we have taken actions that have increased our operating capacity through the recruitment of new leaders, re-alignment of the organizational structure, and improvements in the area of accountability. Frankly, as I look back on the past year, we simply could not have executed on the strategic changes we make without your guidance. In fact, we most likely would not have even recognized some of the changes that we needed to make.
The on-boarding coaching that you provided me upon assuming my new role as President enabled me to step into this position with confidence and vision. My direct reports have also benefited from your leadership and on-boarding coaching as they have assumed increased responsibilities as well. With the introduction of the EMM, we are prepared to help create a more self-directed workforce that has clarity about expectations, authority and key tasks.
In conclusion, I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for our firm. You have clearly had a profound impact on our company and on me personally. Thank you!”

"This was my first experience in participating in a Leadership Development Process such as this. At first, I was a bit apprehensive not knowing exactly what to expect in terms of the outcomes, the process itself and the amount of time we would need to commit to spending.
However, it soon became clear that I would benefit greatly from the development process, your coaching and the overall engagement. I began to truly look forward to the time that I would spend discussing my leadership issues and challenges with you, working to resolve them and stretching myself in new ways that allowed me to be more effective for my organization."
