The shift, in their words
Attributed by role to protect confidentiality.
The shift came when I stopped trying to fix the people around me and started making decisions from a place of self-respect and intention. Once I did, the way I showed up changed: in every room, in every interview, in every conversation.
Six months later I accepted a new role with a 53% salary increase. But the bigger win is that I finally feel like myself again.
Courtney has an incredible ability to ask questions that help you uncover answers you didn’t realize you already had. She creates space where you feel truly seen, and challenges you with equal parts compassion, honesty, and practical tools I still use every day.
Within six sessions I stopped waiting for permission to lead and started trusting myself to make the calls. What felt like uncertainty became clarity, and I stepped fully into the role I’d been holding back from.
I now lead my team with confidence, advocate for my ideas, and no longer absorb the energy others bring into the room, a shift that has quietly changed my personal relationships just as much as my work.
Courtney’s calm, gentle questioning and her obvious belief in my abilities created a space where I felt safe enough to go deep, and quickly. Her post-session notes were unlike anything I expected: not just recaps, but real guidance I still reach for. They’re still in my work binder.
Working with Courtney helped me see that I wasn’t lacking strategy, I was just getting in my own way. Once I slowed down, the answers I’d been chasing were right there.
I now lead with more trust: in my systems, in my team, and in myself. Letting go of over-control and leaning into what already works has completely changed how I operate.
Courtney has a rare ability to help you see what you can’t see on your own. She was the reason I got there.
The ELI was the first time anyone showed me my own patterns on paper. Seeing them laid out in front of me reframed everything: why certain decisions felt impossible, why the same conversations kept going sideways, why I kept hitting the same walls.
Since the debrief, I lead differently. I make decisions faster and with less second-guessing, because I finally understand where my energy is actually coming from.
What set Courtney apart was how she guided me through the results: not just explaining what they meant, but helping me connect them to my real life in a way that actually landed. She has a gift for making the abstract feel immediately actionable.
I came in convinced the problem was my team. I left understanding it was the energy I walked into every room with, and that I had the power to change it.
My team didn’t change. I did. And the dynamic followed.
Courtney doesn’t just help you reach a goal. She helps you reconnect with yourself in a way that creates change that keeps rippling outward long after the sessions end. What I didn’t expect was how quickly she could cut through the noise and get to the real conversation. She has an instinct for knowing exactly what question to ask and when.
