In addition, this client’s coaching supported a substantial change in the organization, with the addition of a CSO and change structurally that required evaluation, acceptance and adaptation on his part. Thank you, friends at Gig Talent, for the trust you place in me when referring me to your clients. It has been a pleasure to work with the team!”

I can create that space now.”
