Testimonials



​"Shana listens openly and non-judgmentally and asks questions that help me think through challenges in a new way. She is able to help me get to the heart of whatever I am wrestling with, and guides me in creating goals for myself and coming up with strategies for problem solving."
​--a formation pastor
​"Shana is a wonderful coaching colleague who has coached me many times. Her coaching continues to empower my leadership in my parish and strengthen my personal goals and relationships." 
--Rev. Paul Oppedahl, ELCA pastor

​
"I must say, that coaching session that you gave me last month was immensely helpful. It helped me release some pain I felt, clarify my thoughts and find a pathway forward. I do believe that you have great skill as a coach." --Elaine Ranney, principal, Rockway Mennonite Collegiate
​​
​"Your questions helped me to think more deeply about what's at stake for me." --Von Clemans, Presbyterian pastor and educator
We believe that the people we are coaching already possess the deep inner wisdom needed to create options, make decisions, and devise outstanding plans, so our job becomes helping them excavate that gold by listening deeply, staying curious, exploring alternatives, and asking good questions.
