My coaching experience with Sharissa has far exceeded my expectations. Sharissa is a subject matter expert on a number of topics including time management, communication (difficult conversations and motivating), leadership skills, emotional intelligence, developing resilience in the workplace, increasing confidence, developing self-care habits, adapting to change, and building relationships. I learned something new from Sharissa in each coaching session as she is knowledgeable in a vast array of areas. Sharissa always had an interesting new way of approaching different situations as she has an insatiable thirst for learning new techniques and sharing them with her clients. Sharissa helped me tremendously in preparing for conversations with upper management as well as my direct reports. One technique that worked well in a difficult review discussion with my supervisor was approaching the conversation in an open way and visualizing a positive outcome, and the resulting conversation went way better than I thought it could. Sharissa encourages her clients to understand colleagues from a curiosity standpoint and to give others the benefit of the doubt. She taught me reframing skills so that I can turn challenging situations into an opportunity to thrive. Sharissa has a positive outlook and a solution-oriented mindset and I always looked forward to our calls. Most of all, Sharissa is an empathetic and compassionate coach who deeply cares for the well-being and growth of her clients. She made a huge impact on my career and personal life. It has been an incredible journey and I can’t recommend Sharissa enough as a leadership and life coach.
