Brandy Case

Just a few short months ago I struggled with stress-management, emotional reactivity, and constant anxiety. Charles helped illuminate my main motivators and key traits, and when/how to utilize them as my guiding compass. With his guidance I developed emotional fortitude that helped me withstand uncertainty and self-doubt throughout the process.

I’ve experienced a significant improvement in my self-worth, professional contribution, and skill development while, and since, working with Charles. While struggles are an inevitable part of self-development and growth, I feel really good knowing I now have an arsenal of tools to help me manage them moving forward!

Prior to working with Charles, my main struggles were communicating my boundaries effectively, communicating in a timely manner, and turning thought into action.

Informal, conversational sessions helped me understand how different tasks interact with my energy levels, and how I can reframe issues to tackle them in a productive way and not feel drained by them. It felt like troubleshooting workflow rather than trying to rebuild my personality around what is traditionally considered desirable in the workplace.

Now I can better manage my energy levels and am able to express my work boundaries in a non confrontational way that still gets the results I want. I am also more equipped to lean on my strengths to approach difficult tasks in a more productive way.

Charles’ ability to pick up on nuance and provide quick actionable advice (that actually works!) made the experience worthwhile and gave me confidence to move through my tasks in a way that works for me.

Before meeting Charles, I had lost joy and fulfillment in my career. He quickly recognized my potential, and helped me forge a new path. His recognition and mentorship helped me gain confidence, embrace my value, and discover a passion for learning and growth. Charles embodies the best qualities of a coach and leader, and I can now say that I am truly happy in both work and life.

Dealing with external pressures, a lack of recognition, anxious stakeholder interactions, workday prioritization, and other work stressors, I wasn’t sure coaching would have any meaningful impact on my day-to-day experience.

Through coaching, I experienced considerable positive change with my job performance, my energy, and my mood, especially during stressful periods. I have a better understanding of my own skills and capabilities, even noticing a significant impact on my ability to influence others. I can better recognize elements stressing me and can react more assertively and appropriately to external pressure, leveraging new tools and skills at my disposal effectively to turn pressure into success.

Charles is an empathetic coach providing alternative points of view and very actionable feedback. He offered a variety of tools and possible solutions for the challenges I presented in our discussions.
