Experience

Over twenty years ago, Colleen took part in the merger of two large consulting firms.

Seeking to affect change at a deeper and more lasting level, she graduated from the Newfield Network in 2009 with its rigorous coaching certification. And, to continue learning how to profoundly influence the mindsets within companies across the globe, Colleen completed INSEAD’s Executive Master in Change in November 2022.

Testimonials

"Initially I was dubious. Colleen changed my mind about coaching. She gave me space to take a step back and evaluate my own values - and how I role model them. She helped me develop tools for proactively improving critical relationships, becoming more confident in my own style of leadership and disseminating my values among other team members so we can all move together toward the company’s vision."

-Tom Lawson, CEO Faradae, Lyon, France

"Working with Colleen has been a fantastic human adventure: a true personal connection, laughs, progress. Week after week, she was always encouraging me to keep moving forward while remaining patient. I am definitively recommending Colleen has a Coach: for yourself or for your team."
