“Eleanor skillfully guided me through a process of self-awareness and exploration that resulted in me the competency-based coaching outcome I’d set for myself: going from a good to a great coach. She is steady, thoughtful and supportive and coaches with humor, empathy and skill.”

“Working with Eleanor has been one of the most transformative parts of my coaching program. From the very first session, she had a gift for putting me at ease — I felt supported, seen, and truly heard. Her feedback was both honest and encouraging, helping me identify my learning edge and actually lean into it, rather than shy away from it. The progress I experienced over just a few sessions was remarkable. I could feel the shift in real time. Eleanor has a rare ability to challenge you in a way that feels empowering, not overwhelming or critical. I will absolutely continue to turn to her as a resource for my ongoing professional development. If you;re looking for a mentor coach who genuinely meets you where you are and helps you grow beyond it — look no further.”

Executive Coach & former USAID Foreign Service Officer
“Working with Eleanor as my mentor coach was one of the most valuable parts of my coaching journey. She has a remarkable ability to balance thoughtful encouragement with honest, actionable feedback. I always left our sessions feeling both affirmed in my strengths and challenged to continue growing.
What stood out most was that Eleanor never treated coaching as a checklist or competency exercise. She took the time to understand me as a person, my leadership style, my goals, and the areas where I wanted to grow. She helped me recognize and build on my natural strengths while thoughtfully identifying my growth edges in ways that felt supportive rather than critical. Eleanor was also incredibly flexible and responsive, adapting her approach to meet me where I was and creating a space where I could openly reflect, experiment, and develop my coaching practice with confidence.
As both a mentor coach and facilitator, Eleanor brings deep expertise, warmth, and genuine care for the people she works with. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a mentor coach who is not only highly skilled, but also deeply invested in helping others become the best version of themselves.”

“Eleanor was just what I needed while preparing for my ICF PCC accreditation. I had been coaching as an ACC-accredited coach for a few years and was looking for meaningful feedback from an experienced and thoughtful mentor coach. Eleanor reviewed my recordings with me, providing real-time feedback and inviting me to reflect on my performance and consider ways I could enhance my coaching skills.
She also provided insights on building my coach identity, processing challenging coaching encounters, and continuing to grow in my role through regular, structured self-reflection. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with Eleanor. I learned skills to better support my clients and, overall, feel much more confident in my coaching.”
