“Helene provides insights, perspective and behavioral practices
that enable me to be most effective in my professional work.”

— Peter Dubois, CEO, The California Dental Association

“Helene is focused on true continuous improvement.
This often results in previously unimaginable breakthroughs.”

— Linda Chin, Retired Vice President, Fortune 500 Company

“Through gentle and probing questions, Helene invited me to see my work environment from a completely different perspective than I had ever considered before. Simultaneously supported and challenged, I was coached towards setting clear, quantifiable and mission-focused goals for myself and for my team. Morale and bottom line have both been improved.”

— Rabbi Yoel Kahn, Non-profit Executive

“Helene is a brilliant executive coach and organizational management thought partner. Over the last two years, she has helped our organization's leadership make critical decisions that are having a positive impact on our culture and mission. Helene is highly talented in helping managers and leaders uncover the underlying personal and structural challenges they're faced with. Unlike an everyday consultant, Helene asks strategic questions, identifies options, and calls leaders into the best version of themselves. She is compassionate and caring, honest and patient, and she approaches her work with our leadership as a trusted partner. I would highly recommend Helene to anyone seeking to become more effective, self-aware, strategic, intentional leader.”

— Joseph Tomás McKellar, Executive Director, PICO California

“Life-changing! Career-enhancing! That's what it's like to work with Helene. As a consultant, Helene helped me to "find my voice" and instilled within me the tools and confidence necessary to make much needed changes in my life and my leadership/management style. Now, in my interactions with my employees (and also in my personal life), I am able to implement the strategies and tactics I learned from Helene, in situations that, just two years ago, I would not have been as equipped to deal with as successfully as I am now.

When you work with Helene as a consultant, she gets to the core of who you are and, through working with her, you learn what you need to change and how those changes can benefit you personally and professionally. And that's just what she did for me, individually. What she did for us, working as a consultant with our leadership team, was equally as transformative, on a larger scale. I didn't know quite what to expect when we started our first sessions with Helene, but it soon became clear that we were moving towards something that would change the way we think about ourselves, our organization and our interactions. And, for that, I am grateful to Helene and I couldn't recommend her more highly.”

— Michael McCullough, EVP/CMO, Miami Heat

“I was very fortunate to receive coaching from Helene in 2017. In our initial phone consultation, I was struck by Helene's warmth and competence; her approach to coaching seemed thoughtful and rooted in years of experience, and she put me at ease right away. She conducted a 360 review by talking to 8 of my coworkers, including my manager, several peers, folks who reported to me, and even someone from a partner organization. Based on those conversations, Helene wrote a detailed report on my strengths and development opportunities; her report was incredibly insightful, with clear focus areas and actionable recommendations.

Over the next few months, we met 8 or 10 times. Our sessions sometimes focused on skills I was hoping to refine or develop, and sometimes on particular issues I was dealing with at work. No matter what, Helene was consistently supportive and insightful; she was surgical in her ability to get to the root of an issue, and I was struck by the way she worded questions or suggestions -- somehow her choice of words always resonated with me and made me think about challenges in a more nuanced, crisper, clearer way.

I credit Helene's calm, wise counsel with helping me through a period of transition and increased responsibilities in my role at work, and with helping me gain insights into myself and skills that I will carry with me throughout my career. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Helene and suspect we will be in close touch for many years to come. I could not recommend Helene more enthusiastically.”
