Iris has the compassion and toughness (that's right — at the same time) that will help you on your coaching journey and assist you in reaching your personal goals. I am very confident in her abilities.
As the former Executive Director of an adoption agency, she has worn many different hats, some simultaneously. Iris was, at one time, both warrior and saint — fighting for the world’s children and always working hard to bring them to their forever families. She stayed focused in a constantly changing environment, "kept her head" when things got challenging, and will help you do that too, as your coach.
Iris excels at many things, but her real strength lies in her solid communication skills. She has the ability to make difficult and complex situations easy to understand. She is a pro at helping people articulate and understand their feelings, which leads to better understanding and improved performance.
I want to tell you how powerful our session was on Thursday. You opened my eyes so wide to the fact that being a people pleaser is not always a good thing. I felt it kept me safe. What I didn’t see was, it kept me from addressing my own needs and being honest. That created a situation where no one could please me or know what I wanted or needed. Also, it could make (a spouse) unable to obtain a sense of closeness. I do wish I’d met you long ago, Iris.
Iris is so experienced, gentle, and so very supportive. She has a gift of meeting you at your feeling space moment to moment while keeping open and illuminating your path of possibilities. Have one short conversation with Iris and you will understand what cannot be expressed in words here.
I don’t think I ever adequately thanked you for helping keep the darkness at bay. I feel stronger now. And, I’m choosing to live life on purpose and unapologetically... Also, I put myself out there and I met someone. We have been dating for a while. He feels like home, 'though'. And I’m feeling happy more often. I just really wanted to let you know you’ve truly helped my journey and I’m so appreciative.
Iris is a very caring and compassionate coach and role model for all the ladies in her groups. She works always with enthusiasm and concern for the welfare of those of us who have lost a spouse. When I worried about whether I may have let down my husband in his final days, Iris was there to console and reassure me. Though we’ve never met, I consider Iris a friend as well as a coach and mentor.
I am grateful to you Iris, for your encouragement and strategies to cope with being a widow. You have been an invaluable part of my life. Thank you.
Once I started to work with Iris, I stopped feeling so alone and like there was no partner to hear how I felt and to encourage me and listen to my plans impartially. I would never wish widowhood on anyone, but working with Iris made me see I had a life and a future.
Iris was there for me when I needed tools to overcome my life crisis, and show me the path to a better future. With her guidance, I became more independent, and was ready to move forward in my life. Her empathy and compassion, as well as her commitment to her clients, are rare gifts in these times.
I found that I needed to be pushed to do something about achieving some goals. Since I started with Iris, I have been eating better (mostly), I've lost 7 pounds, and I’m forcing myself to find time to edit my book. She has been very effective in getting me to not only articulate my goals but do something about achieving them. I have been very pleased with what we have accomplished and would recommend her to others in my condition. I feel a lot better about where my life is going.
Iris is thoughtful and encouraging as an empowering sounding board who listens deeply and asks the questions that really move a self-aware client into action—hallmarks of a great coach. In working with her, I gained crucial insight on nagging problems with a clear way forward on very hard decisions.
I began working with Iris when I was struggling through new widowhood and feeling life would never be ok for me again. She helped me not only with my grief and insecurities but also pushed me to use my own talents and creativity. Now, after years of coaching with her, I am much stronger and determined. Iris reminds me of all the things she’s already taught me about myself.
Iris has really pushed me and challenged me to remember who I used to be—what my passions and interests were. We are working on setting new goals together and I have a new enthusiasm for living. I am beginning to look forward to whatever comes next and to view it all as an adventure.
I did all the homework Iris gave me to do. It worked!!! I have met new people, and I am getting invited to movies and lunch. Thanks so much. LIFE IS AWESOME!!!!
