    Kevin Rui, Controller
  • Amit Asija, Innovation & Architecture Lead

    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.

  • Elene Terry, Director
    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.
    Elene Terry, Director
  • Jennifer Miles, Executive Director of Brand & Content Marketing
    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.

    W, Sr. Director of Engineering
  • W, Sr. Director of Engineering
    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.
    W, Sr. Director of Engineering
  • Amit Asija, Innovation & Architecture Lead
    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.
    Amit Asija, Innovation & Architecture Lead
  • Chris Bailey, Director of Innovation & Architecture
    A key aspect of Merideth’s executive coaching style is the focus on strengths-based feedback.
