Testimonials - What people are saying...
"Dear Corinne,
I wanted to write you this letter to express how grateful I am to have experienced coaching with you. Not sure where to begin so I will simply express myself from the heart. I look back at our first gathering at Eagle Quest. At that training I discovered something powerful and that was the “vultures”. The noise in my head that tells me I’m not good enough, smart enough, not deserving, and such. As you and I entered this coaching partnership little did I know that I would confront my vultures in a powerful way. Together we explored this and after a few sessions I found myself at a fork in the road. It was time to take a stand and make a choice. Through that experience I chose a path that would put my “vultures” at bay and allow me to move forward in my life. Through our coaching sessions I learned: I am indeed powerful. I have huge impact in the world. I choose to make a difference every day. Through my leadership I am making a difference in the world and at Whole Foods Market. And…I have gained the skills and insights to keep this alive. Because of your incredible coaching skills both you and I have agreed to an ongoing partnership and look forward to see what levels I (and you) achieve. In the end, you can count on a very positive reference for other clients should you need this.
Thanks again, for your coaching and helping me succeed and achieve the next levels in my journey!"

"It's hard for me to fathom that less than a year ago my goals were so elusive. I had just sold my business; after twenty plus years the challenges of running the business became routine. I didn't know where I was going next and I was aware that I might wander aimlessly without conscious effort and direction. That is when I turned to coaching and met Corinne McElroy.
Throughout my coaching experience with Corinne I came to realize that I was driven by passion, curiosity and love for helping and inspiring others. I discovered that what I left behind is the foundation for my future. Onto bigger and better things! Corinne helped me discover what inspires me to move forward and gave me the tools to stay aligned with the virues that give meaning to my life. I have new perspective of my journey and a multitude of lenses in my bag that enable me to see my progress from every angle."

"I was approached by our President Roger Grochmal suggesting the management team should have coaching sessions...My first thoughts were that the others need it but not me. After all, being a 30 year employee of the company I have already done enough coaching with my staff. My first session was 2 hours long. After just the first session, I realized this coaching was different than anything we had done in the past. Corinne McElroy took the time to find out all about me, my circle of life and how all of this information fit into my work and family life. It didn’t take long to understand that this analysis is all part of her expertise. Every two weeks I look forward to my coaching session because I learn so much about what I am doing and failing to do. The difference is that I now understand the effects of what I am doing or not doing and how this affects those around me. Thank you Corinne!! Your coaching skills have been both enjoyable and amazing. Our management team is a much different team today thanks to you and your efforts."

"...She was tough when she needed to be, she was quick to encourage me and she was very good at recognizing my successes along the way. The high point was when she had encouraged me to be passionate and to design an alliance with my entire division of over 200 people at an all division meeting designed to communicate and motivate the team through some tough times. I don’t believe I would have ever had the courage before to do what I did at that meeting but through coaching sessions with Corinne McElroy I felt inspired and a responsibility to do so. She was always very in tune with what was going on around me in my life and making sure that we were talking about issues that would have immediate impacts. I believe she has the ability to tailor each coaching relationship to what each person needs. She has an amazing ability to listen and there were many times I simply forgot we were on a phone line and felt she was right there with me."

At a transitional point in my life, having left a career of 15 years, I found Corinne. She helped me find myself again at this pivotal time in my life. Each one of our sessions got me thinking at a deeper and deeper level. There was no hiding or slacking as Corinne would hold me accountable and keep me working hard. I found that doing the one-on-one coaching and then concurrently with a 4 month Mastery Group session brought it all to a whole new level. While the one-on-one coaching got me really to focus on myself, the Mastery Group was a way to further explore my values and put them to use with a very specific 120 day goal. The Mastery group was powerful and the people I worked with are very supportive. I am so glad to have invested in myself with coaching. What a difference in my life it has made and will continue to make!

How can I ever thank you for inviting me to participate in the most wonderful coaching program I’ve ever even heard of! As you know, I’ve had a dream of opening up my own physical fitness coaching company for years. With the guidance you have provided in the form of active listening, thought provoking questions, life and business planning models and of course putting together such an amazing group of people such as my teammates I can only succeed.
And, Corinne, the two very best things I’ve gotten from this program is that I’ve finally gained the courage to get big! When we first started out – I was so afraid to even hand out flyers for one on one fitness training right here in my neighborhood – and here I am only four months later with the confidence to tell my husband’s boss at a recent holiday party that I am taking fitness training to corporations all over the country through a team of enthusiastic, educated and experienced trainers! I am living ‘as if’ and it feels great!
The second most important thing I’ve gotten is the courage to be ever more honest with others and myself. I’ve practiced standing up for myself in a professional and respectful was that has finally reflected the self-confidence I’ve known all along was inside of me. I’m definitely a work in progress and I’m definitely making progress!
Thank you for believing in me and our team – The Action Buddies J - you absolutely make a difference every day.
Sincerely, Gina Jonas

I have worked together with Corinne for approximately five years and throughout these years she has encouraged and instilled so much positive energy that I am still spinning from all that energy. Her dedication and devotion, her calmness and her wisdom, never seized to amaze me. She has been very instrumental in working together with myself and my family in establishing our individual core values and our alliance together as a company.
One of the latest coaching sessions I participated in was through the Mastery Group, and I was introduced to four very powerful women, and together we shared both professional and personal interests, ideas, experiences and practices. I have gained so much knowledge and strength through Corinne’s coaching sessions and they have changed my life to a better way of thinking and living. I thank you Corinne from the bottom of my heart, and I am grateful for having met you.
