Mimi is a great listener which is so important in her field. Also, her personality makes her unique and well-suited to coaching work. I have met several coaches over the last few years but only a select few have the education and knowledge that Mimi does.
Talking to Mimi could not have come at a better time for me. The main goal I had was to calm down and relax a bit more both with my office and personal life. We focused in on the stress in my life and how a lot of it was “self imposed”. We then explored different ways to solve the problem. Some I liked and implemented, and others we modified first. The bottom line is, though, that we did it together. Also, although I can be quite scattered at times, Mimi was able to keep up with my thoughts and tangents--she pulled me back on course and we eventually hit all the different topics related to my main goal.
With Mimi’s direction, I was able to take a more comical view of what was going on for me at the time. Now when I feel stressed, I often reflect back on my session with Mimi and the particular “homework” I assigned myself. I would recommend Mimi to anyone who needs coaching…in fact, I guess to a certain degree we’ll all need coaching at some point in our lifetime. I would say, if you’re looking for a new perspective or direction, call Mimi.

As far as I am concerned, Mimi is the best! I have worked with a few coaches during my life, but Mimi is unique in that she brings her business and management consulting experience together with her intuition, understanding & caring. Her thoughts and insights are amazing, and on top of that she is very easy to talk to and work with. She always made me feel like I had done well, that I deserved to be heard and would validate my being. She knew what would motivate me and was able to provide just the right amount of encouragement and inspiration that I needed at any given time. I would highly recommend Mimi to everyone I know. I am already doing that! I would say that she is absolutely the best coach and that you would get amazing results from working with her. I cannot say enough good things about working with Mimi!
Mimi’s intuition and insight have been invaluable to me. Mimi really helped me see what was holding me back and helped me break through those barriers -- without her, I would not have made this kind of progress in such a short time. I have new direction to my career and I am clear about what I can do. I am now in the process of changing my career and I know I would not have made this change without Mimi’s coaching. I feel that Mimi has been my messenger from God, Universe or Spirit to give me the permission to go after what I want with ease.
Since I started coaching with Mimi, I’ve noticed my energy shift -- I feel like a different person. I look forward to talking to her every meeting and all my meetings with her have been a pleasure; but beyond that, I felt that after my meetings with Mimi, I felt a sense of peace. And the sense of peace stayed with me for longer and longer stretches of time the more we worked together.

Mimi is terrific. She has an uncanny sense of what might be going on and zeroes in very quickly in a non-threatening manner. She is a kind, caring, sensitive, intelligent person who makes you feel comfortable and special right away. Mimi helped me focus on what my priorities are; what brings me the most personal satisfaction, and to focus on that which enriches my own spirit. I would recommend Mimi to anyone who would benefit from this guiding light in achieving more balance and happiness in their lives.

The one thing that intrigued me more than anything else following my first session with Mimi was that all the information that I ‘learned’ about myself during the session was already there – it just needed to be brought out. It was Mimi’s timely questions that led us down the path to uncovering that information and acknowledging its significance in my life. It felt right in tune with how Mimi describes what her business offers: peeling away the layers to find out what’s truly important in my life. My session with Mimi has helped me refocus my priorities so I can distinguish what’s important from what’s just clutter. I would recommend this to everyone, with all the distractions in the world around us. If you work with Mimi as your coach, she’ll help you make everything clear.

Initially I was skeptical about working with a coach... but Mimi immediately made me feel comfortable with the process. After only one session with Mimi, I felt powerful and in charge of my own destiny. With her guidance and targeted questions, I was able to focus in on my goals and the direction I wanted to take with my career. I highly recommend working with Mimi.

Mimi is an amazing listener. She has a way of pulling out information and questioning things that wouldn't be evident in every day conversation. It's almost like she can read between the lines of your thoughts. Talking and sharing with Mimi is like embarking on an adventure that ultimately helps me better understand my choices and actions.
Mimi makes change exciting. Every time I walk away from a coaching session with Mimi, I am energized and feel better about the actions I am about to take. She focuses on the positive and pulls out my personal strengths. She truly knows what makes me tick and I know that when I meet with Mimi, I am going to learn something new about myself.

Mimi was able to provide me with some simple visuals to help me resolve some complicated professional problems that I was having at the time. She also helped me take some key steps to re-route my career path. Based on Mimi's coaching and encouragement, I first wrote two articles that helped me develop and market some additional professional expertise. From that point, I decided to leave my position of 8 years and join a new company. This has proven to be a great decision for me.
Mimi helped me to have more confidence in my 'gut instincts.' She is very intelligent and intuitive, and has an ability to calmly guide her clients in a direction that they themselves instinctively know is right. Mimi always made me feel at ease with my issues and not so chaotic! I would absolutely recommend Mimi to people I know! She is not 'preachy' or 'new-agey' and has the ability to make a wide cross-section of people feel comfortable and at ease.

The most significant results I achieved as a result of working with Mimi can be summarized in ISBN #0471697885 – Sarbanes-Oxley for Nonprofits: A Guide to Building Competitive Advantage. After my first coaching session with Mimi, I realized that I needed to call my editor and propose the concept for this book! Mimi was able to help me understand how my own gifts and talents could be leveraged immediately to reach my goals.
Mimi has a unique way of facilitating a greater balance in my priorities, and was able to help me see what I needed to do to bring about the results I wanted to achieve. Before working with Mimi, I was involved with some nonprofit board assignments that I now realize were counter-productive and counter-intuitive for my interests and energy. As I began to eliminate some of these assignments, my husband realized that he too was not enjoying the board work that he was doing – and he quit too! As a result of us leaving this work behind, the quality of our home life has improved tremendously.
Mimi has a great ability to really understand where I am emotionally and an uncanny ability to mimic and help me roleplay the sometimes difficult personalities of the people with whom I was dealing. She also has a unique and very helpful way of crafting an effective strategy with me. She asked the challenging questions, focused in on what I was telling her about my current situation and how I wanted it to be different, and was nonjudgmental in terms of what I said I wanted. I find that I am now much more aware of what feels right for me. If it doesn’t feel right – I change the situation, renegotiate the terms or just say ‘goodbye.’ And I come to terms with this much, much faster than I ever did before I worked with Mimi.
