It wasn't until working with Rhona that I truly understood the tremendous impact coaching could have on my leadership. Rhona's approach of first helping me to re-connect with my own values and vision set an extraordinary backdrop from which to deal with any specific issues at hand. Rhona's nurturing style also provided the necessary space for me to find the solutions from within as opposed to giving the solutions to me. In the end, I became extraordinarily confident that I could raise even the thorniest of problems and that we would be able to explore the intricacies of that problem and still end up with a clear path forward. I highly recommend Rhona to any serious leader that is looking to get to that next level of leadership.

Rhona Berens has been my coach since 2012. Rhona’s coaching skills helped me identify the kind of leader that I wanted to be, and the type of leader that was most needed in my new community. Rhona’s coaching helped me build a foundation of trust, cultivate a positive working environment and a growth mindset amongst my managers. The outcome was more than I could have imagined. We were able to achieve our goals, support the needs of our clients, and meet our investors’ expected return on their business investment. I continue to work with Rhona and, as we have grown in our coaching relationship, my career has flourished.  I am proud to recommend her to anyone seeking a professional coach.

I worked with Rhona for 10 months during a formative time when I was founding and building my business. As a CEO who really wants to develop my full leadership potential, I have benefited tremendously from my coaching work with her. Specifically, she armed me with tools to sharpen my decision-making and confidence in my judgment, to more successfully engage clients, and manage interpersonal dynamics across our team. I have gained lasting values from these tools and, collectively, Rhona helped me identify, cultivate, and capitalize on my particular leadership style and turn this individuality into an asset.

Rhona is an excellent leadership coach. As I was transitioning into my leadership position as a director, Rhona was the perfect conductor in the process--leading and guiding me in a way that brought out the best of my leadership skills, helped me confront my own issues around leadership, support me in building a leadership model that reflected my values, and gave me a whole toolbox of skills that I continue to use in my position. She is insightful and creates a process that works around her clients' needs.

Rhona engages the audience and gives real life examples and suggestions. Her strategies are applicable to work and life. Very informative, relevant and useful.

Rhona is profoundly insightful, intelligent and passionate; she understands how to build individuals and teams into superior, legacy-level assets for both the businesses that employ them and for the individual’s own career.

The Free Arts for Abused Children staff loved learning from Rhona. The workshop on productive communication provided us with a shared team-building experience, a common ground to start from as we engage in dialogue with one another, our collaborative partners and hundreds of volunteers. Everyone enjoyed being reminded of useful communication skills and learning new ones, especially as they relate to conflict resolution.
