William,
Wall Street executive:
“After working for decades, retiring is like going from 80mph to a full stop in 5 seconds. Lots of changes all at once. Coaching during the last few months has delivered tangible results: now I'm more relaxed and getting better with how difficult retirement is.
I'm enjoying learning to say no more. I'm spending more time with my grown children, and sticking a toe in the water in getting more involved in my community. Mostly though, as I talk things through with Alexa, I am finding ways to give myself time and space. Alexa is a fantastic coach. She is insightful, empathetic, and action focused. It's hard to overstate how much happier I am now. I am trying new things without feeling like I am making a major commitment - I can see what feels right and what I want to do and with whom.”
Samantha,
philanthropist:
“I am grateful to the process of coaching with Alexa. For me it was a declaration of a commitment to myself and adding new wellness goals. Alexa coached me as I adopted some of the healthy habits I had wanted to but hadn't made stick on my own. She encouraged me to commit to a weekly routine that is doable, including walking and Pilates. I got good at taking micro steps, visualizing success, and being accountable. Working with Alexa was the gold standard for practical support in reaching my goals. It wasn't easy, but now it feels great.”
Amanda,
real estate professional:
“With coaching through my divorce I focus on today, not rehashing the past. Alexa hears what I say, accepts all of it, and that helps me feel okay through the conflict and anger. I bounce between being in magical thinking and being in delusion that I can fix things or I'm the victim. And neither is the way forward. Talking through all that and the myriad issues, with two careers, homes, grown children, enables me to see that and get back to today. Alexa is a great listener, I am amazed to see my growing resilience and greater acceptance and happiness, I am so grateful. With Alexa's help, I focus on the actions and conversations that I need to have, the things that are important to me, not all the other stuff that I can't control.”
Kevin,
private equity partner:
“Coaching helped me support a family member with terminal cancer during his final months of life. I appreciated Alexa's support in thinking through how I could review and adjust my schedule with my family and my work. I struggled with sharing and communicating what was going on with other people in my life, until I, through coaching, realized that my values were more important than my fears. Then I was able to share in appropriate ways to keep people who I cared about or needed to know informed. It was great to have an empathetic ear to think it through. Alexa has good energy and is wonderful. After the sessions I felt like I was taking the right path - that was invaluable during such a difficult time.”
