“Best coaching I’ve ever received in my professional career. Considering we live on different continents, I was initially concerned the coaching would be conducted over the phone, but it worked perfectly. Having been coached by such an experienced GC has been helpful in my interaction with the C-suite in our corporate political environment.”
