We help you look forward to Monday mornings

You remind me of Bill Moyers when you moderate these [interviews]. You get excited and ask great questions others are thinking about and that increases the speaker’s passion and the intensity of the topic. You are really good at this.

Merideth has such a great ability to understand where people are at and where they need to go. She knows the barriers that keep people from reaching their career goals, and I like that she provides a framework for how to get past them with very clear steps.

Right away in our first conversation, she was reframing and restructuring what I was saying in a way that helped me see things differently.

Merideth really helps you understand who you are and what matters to you — and then she compels you to honor that and claim that in your work and in your life. She’s been such an important part of the growth journey I’ve been on — it’s really been incredibly valuable.

I love that Merideth keeps me focused on this really difficult exercise, because — especially with high-achieving people who often love to share their advice — it’s much more valuable to question the question. Her skill in doing this is what not only makes her a great facilitator but the best coach I’ve ever had. She keeps questioning until the true root issue is revealed.

Merideth has helped me so much. I’ve become a different person. I’m excited about work now, and it’s easier to deal with the stress and long hours because I’ve rediscovered what my purpose is. I knew I’d changed when I realized one Sunday night I wasn’t nervous about going to work the next morning.

I love that Merideth keeps me focused on this really difficult exercise, because — especially with high-achieving people who often love to share their advice — it’s much more valuable to question the question. Her skill in doing this is what not only makes her a great facilitator but the best coach I’ve ever had. She keeps questioning until the true root issue is revealed.

Working with Merideth feels like having somebody on your side who cares deeply about you, who sees the best in you, and who sees things in you that you don’t see in yourself. She uses all of her talents and strengths to bring out your best and put it into the forefront of your career and your life.

Merideth has done a really good job of ensuring that the space is safe, frank, and compassionate. Our experience in the room is never stressful. Instead, it feels like a break, but it’s also stimulating.

I knew what my overall mission was, but I didn't know how to get there. I wasn't confident about my skills, my experience, my future. Merideth talked me through it, helping me fill out her very comprehensive Career Compass tool to get a much clearer picture of my future career path.

It’s like job therapy.

I was really impressed with Merideth. It was clear she understood that the role of the facilitator was to keep the conversation focused and valuable for everyone involved. That’s especially important when dealing with high-achieving people, because it can be really tempting for a conversation to become interesting but not useful.

I reached out to Merideth when I decided to make a career transition and I'm so glad that I did.  From the moment I started talking to her, I knew I was in good hands. It's clear Merideth's been doing this work for a while and she knows what she's talking about. Her confidence and competence was exactly what I needed as I talked to her about my career transition.

I got a contract HR Business Partner job through some crafty networking, which makes me proud. The job has a high probability of conversion to regular/full-time. It feels 100% right and I can say that with clarity because of my time with you!

I’ve learned that I can lead in the way that’s unique to me and feels right even if it’s not what other people have done.

Merideth is supportive, personable, and takes a genuine interest in helping you achieve your goals.

Overall, my confidence in how I come across has increased. Merideth has really helped me get clear on what I’m looking for and, more importantly, how to best position my strengths and ask for what I want. Our work together has been extremely helpful and invaluable.

Merideth served as both a coach and a cheerleader for me, which was exactly what I needed at the time, and she quickly picked up on this. Ultimately, my desire to make a change in my career became a reality with Merideth's coaching support.

Merideth is very calm and yet there’s a strength and a weight to her that commands attention. She’s amazing at keeping us on task, and I’m always impressed how she reels us in. The best part is she never apologizes for it. She knows what she’s doing — and she embodies that confidence in a positive, warm, compassionate way.

Merideth lets me explore the challenge and what I want to do about it. She never takes on the work herself because she knows the answer lies within me. What she does really well is to help me clarify my thoughts. Merideth then holds me accountable and has me nail down what I’m going to do and when I’m going to do it.

Merideth makes the most of our time together—when we leave an interaction, I’ve gotten what I needed and more!

Merideth’s coaching is a great mix of analyzing how and why I’m thinking about something a certain way and the broader perspective of how others might see it or handle it. That approach has helped me think about my own leadership, what’s important to me, and how I’m communicating that to my organization. It is very valuable.

There is the professional piece of hitting objectives and getting new titles and higher compensation, but the results of coaching with Merideth are so much broader than that. She has helped me achieve a new view on my life — and that taking on big, challenging and scary things can be great for me.

A key aspect of Merideth’s executive coaching style is the focus on strengths-based feedback. We certainly worked together on areas of opportunity, but more importantly, we worked to amplify my own unique strengths to become truly distinctive. Through this work, I was able to grow leaps and bounds in my career, all while maintaining my own unique identity and remaining authentic.

If you're looking to better understand your career and how to give more or get the most out of where you are, I highly recommend working with Merideth. Her work ethic is second-to-none and, more importantly, she's compassionate and empathetic. This was a real partnership and, because of it, I feel more energized, more skillful, and more creative.

Insightful, thoughtful, savvy, and action-oriented, Merideth was instrumental in catapulting me from analysis-paralysis to defining my goals and building an action plan to meet them. She has the ability to validate your thoughts and ideas, yet simultaneously challenge and encourage you to think outside of the box.

Over the course of working with Merideth, I evolved from a new middle manager to a seasoned executive in senior leadership. I overcame numerous struggles and embraced exciting opportunities, all while guided by Merideth’s unique, encouraging, and effective style.

We spent a lot of time working through what aspects of a role and a career are most valuable to me. Then we looked at each of the opportunities I was considering to see how they matched up. It really helped to frame my decision-making.

After a session with Merideth, I always feel more clear and empowered. When our time is over, I feel genuinely excited to try different things — never pressured about something I have to do. That’s the best part about working with her.

The lessons I learned from Merideth will last a lifetime. I highly recommend her as an executive coach - just be prepared to be challenged, as everything worth achieving comes through hard work!

You always feel more coherent because you've gone through Merideth’s preparation process. Part of it is forcing you to take the time to really think about your problem and then her process helps you hone in and get clear and specific about what you want to talk about.

Like a really good NPR interview. It was interesting, engaging […] all gems, a lot to take away and immediately implement, and other items for me to aspire to. I like how you customized the questions to be pertinent to others and me. You did a good job anticipating how it would apply to your specific audience.

Merideth is technologically very savvy and has helped other leaders in similar shoes to me, meaning those great at technology but who want and need to grow into the leader they aspire to be. I highly recommend Merideth as a coach to anyone wanting to operate on a higher plane in their career.

I would definitely rank Merideth as one of the top coaches I’ve worked with. She truly feels like a partner and has your back, but she will also give you honest feedback and help to push you out of your comfort zone.

Merideth is very good at communication. She helped me think about and frame things in different ways. She is also an active listener and doesn’t interrupt. The flow of our conversations was really open, and it made me want to bring a lot to the table because I knew the more information she had from me, the more she could pass back to me.

When you coach with Merideth, the lessons you learn will stay with you for life and give you a clearer perspective. She brings to the table an immense amount of experience and a treasure chest of knowledge. She has this style where she can be brutally honest and transparent with you in identifying your weaknesses and then work with you to grow your strengths and minimize or eliminate your weaknesses.

Merideth does not merely give advice or answers. Instead, she takes the more impactful approach of guiding you through a structured process in which you arrive at your own preferred course of action.

Prior to working with Merideth, I had interviewed seven other coaches. It only took one conversation with her for me to know that Merideth was exactly the kind of coach I was seeking.

Merideth gives you a way out of the paralysis and shows you how to move through a career transition in a productive way. It’s empowering.

The biggest benefit of our work together is that I’ve learned how to stretch myself in the face of really big challenges.

If I had to describe Merideth in two words, it would be perceptive and thoughtful. I worked with Merideth for two and a half years and boy what a difference that time made! Not only have I grown into a more thoughtful and insightful leader myself, but overall I feel I have become a better person as well.

I’ve interviewed a lot of different people for a lot of different roles in my career, and I always look to see how well the person understands the problem, what language they’re using, and how confident I am that they can lead me to a solution. Merideth checks all of those boxes.

Crack the champagne! Offer letter signed after negotiating the base up and adding a 12-month guarantee. Really excited about this new opportunity and can move forward without hesitation. Thanks for your role in helping me become more intentional and in-tune with what's important to me in my personal and professional life. Looking forward to working with you more and to further future successes!
