FAQ’s
Executive leaders rave about Bonnie’s strategies
Our top performer is a different person
"After setting clear expectations about changing abrasive behavior and offering him coaching, our top performer is a different person. He’s become self-aware and no longer allows emotions to influence the words that come out of his mouth. After his change in behavior happened, he told me that knowing we cared about him as a person and were serious about following through on consequences if he didn’t change motivated him to change in ways I didn’t know was possible."

Bonnie inspired me to address conflict early, firmly, and directly
"I used to view a difficult conversation as a necessary evil, often resulting in avoiding the issue. Bonnie has inspired me to address conflict early, firmly, and directly."

I’m better able to initiate and engage in difficult conversations that I used to avoid.
"Bonnie’s coaching program helped me to improve awareness of myself and others during conflict. Now I’m better able to initiate and engage in difficult conversations that I used to avoid. Roleplaying of a particular situation was especially helpful and empowered me to show up with clarity and confidence during a conversation that in the past I would have given in just to keep the peace."
