"Thank you Charleen! You have helped me acknowledge and embrace the challenges I face everyday. Our conversations were a unique and non-threatening way to help me collect my thoughts, feelings and wants and funnel them to aid positive change in my work environment. This was a great experience!`` Sharon Delbeke, Manager, Vancouver Island Health Authority

"Charleen, You are totally remarkable!  Thank you so much, not only for getting me started on this new network of career transition contacts, and for the encouragement generally, but for giving me some really important insight into my self-presentation --- and how I've been keeping out of sight the very things that I care most about and for which I am really best suited!   When you said, "What's that all about?!" -- it was like a wake up call for me. It's been a real eye opener, and I'll put some concentrated work on revising my professional profile before starting to contact people again.  I'm going back to the drafting board!  Thanks so much.” E.M., BC Public Service Employee

"Having access to a coach allowed me to spend some time on myself.  Charleen provided me the space to talk things out. She provided me insight into my use of leadership skills, highlighted successes and supported me through challenges.  Charleen held me accountable to my own goals and this helped me to carry my ‘homework’ with me and take chances in using new leadership skills.  Her support through with this learning was invaluable".  Jess Lynne McConnell – Clinical Coordinator Mental Health and Addictions Services

"I have felt very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with you Charleen. You have shown a true interest in my development and have been very supportive throughout our time together.  You always gave me your full attention and deeply listened to what I had to say. Along with reference material you have provided, you inquired how I would use what I was learning, then following up in the next coaching session to see how these skills have worked for me. This has been a very valuable experience for me in so many ways. I have really appreciated having someone who has truly inspired me to be the best I can be and to strive to seek out and utilize my strengths. Thank you.”    Sheila Larabie, District Manager, Sales Center Manager-Kerrisdale and Broadway, BC Automobile Association Telephone: Ph:? 604-268-5616 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting            604-268-5616      end_of_the_skype_highlighting,268-5616, Cell:  604-317-0272 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting            604-317-0272      end_of_the_skype_highlighting604-317-0272 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting            604-317-0272      end_of_the_skype_highlighting,  Email:  sheilalatbcaa.com
