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.

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
The biggest benefit of our work together is that I’ve learned how to stretch myself in the face of really big challenges. 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 and scary things can be great for me.

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