I came to Serena during a sabbatical when I was unsure of what I wanted to do next; I either was going to continue with my corporate career or go out on my own. Through her focused presence and powerful questions, I was able to sort out my thinking and better understand what I was looking for in my next role. She challenged and reframed my assumptions every session in a kind way, in a way that helped me move forward. With her accountability, I finally took steps to help me explore career options and learn more about myself with each step. I now feel a lot more confident that I will find my way with the tools she has given me, and am having more fun in the process instead of putting a lot of pressure on myself.

What I appreciated most about working with Serena was her open-ended approach. I had experienced executive coaching in the past, but the rigid, templated style lacked the personalization I needed to truly explore where I wanted to go. Serena’s thoughtful listening and reflective questions helped me uncover needs I didn’t even realize I had. Her flexible style also challenged me to be more intentional about how I used our time—something that wasn’t always easy, but ultimately led to more meaningful and relevant sessions.

Rather than just focusing on surface-level career transitions, Serena helped me reframe my challenges and recognize how my approach to work was influencing my experience, regardless of the role. The sessions provided valuable perspective shifts that made me rethink not just my career path, but how I navigate workplace dynamics and decision-making.

Serena has a unique ability to kindly challenge my assumptions and reframe my thinking in ways that feel both supportive and thought-provoking. Her deep executive and corporate experience gives me confidence. She truly understands the challenges I face as I grow as a leader within my company. Through our work together, I’ve become more self-aware, confident, and intentional in my leadership style, which has helped me communicate more effectively, make clearer decisions, and empower my team.

Serena is wonderful! She's a deep listener—thoughtful, patient, and kind. As my sounding board, she creates space for me to share openly and reflect out loud, without the pressure to have everything figured out. Our conversations have helped me reconnect with the passion, energy, and intentionality I bring to my work, and prioritize where I invest my time. Most importantly, Serena has helped me give myself permission to not have my business fully mapped out and to let things unfold naturally.

Working with Serena has been both grounding and empowering. She creates a space for me to reflect on who I am and who I’m becoming, especially as I navigate big personal and career responsibilities. Our conversations helped me see that taking care of myself isn’t a luxury, it’s essential to showing up fully in other areas of my life. One of the biggest shifts for me was recognizing that putting my ideas into action doesn’t just build confidence, it also eases anxiety and creates momentum.

Working with Britton has been one of the best coaching experiences I've had. In just one session, Britton helped me transform my resume and positioning, introducing concepts I wasn’t even aware of, and helping me see my experience through a product leader’s lens. As someone for whom English is not my first language, I deeply appreciated his clarity, kindness, and patience. I left the session feeling more confident and energized about my career path and upcoming applications.

David has been super helpful! He is very knowledgeable about the recruiting process for consulting and is very good at identifying what areas I need to work on. Highly recommend!

I felt more confident, more concise, and more compelling after working with her. She helped me see my value and articulate it with clarity.
