“I’ve known Gretchen since 2007, first in the capacity as a friend and leader of a women’s group at Heartwood House, and then as Chair of the Executive Committee of Leadership San Juan Islands. She is an ever-present guide to excellent leadership facilitation. I’ve been privileged to witness her magic in a variety of leadership and organizational change venues, including a whole family orientation. She helped each family member see our individual personality strengths and made it possible for my now adolescent children to have a clearer understanding of their potential success in personal and professional relationships, as they face college and career opportunities. One of her many gifts is in coaching the integration of the personal with the emergent professional. I admire her as both a teacher and a friend. ”

“One hour of coaching with Gretchen rocked my world! She saw brilliant possibilities that I had never even dreamed of. Her encouragement, ideas, and next steps structure are part of what keeps me flying in my “zone of genius”.”

“Gretchen has a spirit and heart behind her work that is unusual and greatly needed among the leaders in all sectors. She helped me have difficult conversations with grace, see through the smoke and mirrors of old patterns, and create lasting change in our organization.”

“Gretchen brings a deep commitment to her work with clients as an executive coach or organizational consultant. She has worked with me numerous times and I truly value her insights. She is a life-long learner, consistently seeking ways to develop herself as a professional and a person. I highly recommend her as an executive coach and OD consultant.”
