Sharon is an expert at helping clients use assessments, like the DiSC and PXT, to effectively advance the skills of individuals and their organizations. She is insightful and has an amazing strategic mind! I would highly recommend her services to any organization looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate resource.
Sharon was a strong leader with wonderful people skills. She was thorough, tough and fair. She had a great visual eye as well. She left a legacy of talent that had flourished under her leadership.
Sharon’s super power is that she easily connects with others with warmth, insight, and competence. She includes the audience in the humorous sides of challenges we all face as leaders, and leads the way to connect with diverse others in all of life’s situations.
I personally hired Sharon to coach myself and my key executives. She provided consistent feedback and accountability to keep us on track to meet our objectives. I also found her to be insightful with an accurate understanding of who we are and what we do, tailoring presentation to be effective and relevant to our needs.
