Testimonials for Jenny Yoder:
“Jenny has had a tremendous influence on my leadership style and peer interactions consequent to our coaching sessions last year. I learned the importance of working through an emotional reaction whenever conflicts and challenges arise by changing my thought process in ways that allow me to understand the other person’s perspective, have curiosity, and find commonality in goals and means of achieving them. I have found these skills to be very important in dealing with difficult situations and individuals inside and out of the work environment. Jenny’s coaching style is excellent—she is patient, she never judges, she always has a helpful, insightful and knowledgeable demeanor. She made me realize that dealing with people can indeed become a science (almost), as long as one understands different personality types, their strengths and how they degenerate under stress. Overall my experience with Jenny was very positive and I would highly, highly recommend her to other technical contributors.” – Fortune 100 Technical Leader
“I started individual coaching with Jenny and was truly challenged by the growth and internal reflection opportunities she helped facilitate. She helped me stretch and understand myself (and how others might perceive my actions) in a way no other program or coach has. Jenny also provided excellent tools for current and personal self-reflection as well as amazing strategies that have helped to transform the way I approach problems both professionally and personally. The experience was so beneficial that I recommended the coaching program for several others.” – Fortune 500 Manager, Sales and Marketing
“As with any coaching/learning engagement, initially I had some skepticism. However, in the very first meeting with Jenny I left the conversation knowing that I had found a coach who completely understood me and I could relate to. I can truly state that coaching has benefited me tremendously. I learned to look for early signs of stress/behaviors which were the root of the specific areas of developments. I learned to organize my behaviors as a leader to drive toward a mutually beneficial result for all parties involved—this is tied to situational leadership and relates to our engagement with teams and individuals. It also enabled me to see the other person’s point of view (irrespective of how distant it was from my own) by removing the filter with which I was previously viewing the world and making better use of my emotions. Applying what I received in coaching resulted in people coming up to me to commend me for being able to handle a tough situation in an objective manner. I handle greater responsibilities within the organization with broader scope relative to what I was managing prior.” – Fortune 100 Senior Leader
