What Our Clients Say
"Problem solving is what I do for a living, but I get stuck sometimes. Veronica met me where I was and got me past my obstacle."
Project Leader
I was skeptical and wow I haven't experienced a positive outcome like this before, really and truly. She did an awesome job with our Director of Nursing. I saw significant change. Our fear was that this would be a temporary change, but I see a sincere change has happened. I guess it changed from skeptical thinking to being a believer - giving it an honest chance - and coming out like wow, I was surprised and impressed and happy."
Nursing Home Administrator
"My work with Veronica made me feel more content, less distressed. I had gotten another job offer and was thinking of leaving. Her ability to talk me through how to interact with my boss is the reason I stayed at this job. There was a tremendous impact. Veronica made me comfortable to talk about my thoughts and what was inside...she showed great compassion to me, she even teared up when I teared up. My time with her was really, really helpful."
Director of Clinical Services
"I thought I was introspective already and I was surprised that it made me more so. I think of things differently as a result. Coaching has made me think differently and so my behavior has changed. They were subtle changes -- maybe Veronica and myself would be the only ones who notice -- but I feel more self-awareness and a greater awareness of my perspective, and I am different because of it. She is such a fabulous asset to you at Drive. It was a wonderful experience with an incredible person. I appreciate her help and input so much."
Leadership Team Member
"Coaching was impactful enough that I now understand my colleague better and can curate my responses to her to get a better reaction and build a better relationship. I understand her better and can communicate with her better as a result. I'm relating to people differently, asking more questions to understand their perspective. And that is helping me at work and at home."
Human Resources Director
"Veronica was an excellent coach - relatable, easy to speak with, and efficient in scheduling sessions. The data reports and assessments she provided were interesting and insightful, further enhancing the coaching experience. I learned the importance of making a conscious effort in this area and I am committed to continuing my personal growth."
Chief Financial Officer
"I was still wondering how much longer could I do this work? I wanted to get that joy back and I did...I feel like I can do this work for longer now. I would pay for this myself the next go around if my company didn't!"
