Career Coaching

Penney De Pas, M.A., CAE Executive Coach

How will clients benefit with you as their coach?

My coaching clients benefit with obtaining their goals and producing related results faster and easier than they could on their own. As a life coach, I work with the whole client and not just the career portion since all the client’s life is involved with their achievements. Sometimes it is something outside a person’s career or initial coaching focus that is preventing him/her from moving forward—usually something of which he/she is not even aware. As a coach, I help them identify the barriers and gaps that are keeping them from their desires and achievements.

What results have clients reported after working with you?

Going from no money (“the wolf is at the door”) to a $1million producer in a year
Falling in love, changing religion, getting married, and combining households in a year
Finishing a book and buying a horse farm
Finding a job in four months in a poor economy
Organizing a move and buying a dog kennel in a few months, changing a job from in-person to remote working arrangement (first person to do that in that business)
Going from no money and no clients (contemplating taking a paying job) to a successful web design business that pays the bills (three months)

What do clients say about working with you?

"Your coaching helps me surface and release my secret, negative self-talk, enabling healing, understanding, trust, and new possibilities in my closest relationships. You encourage and support me to be re-empowered, make major decisions, forgive, let go, and move on to my bigger goals." —D. E., speaker
"Your coaching helps me focus on a daily basis, stay on the mark with my goals, improve relationships at work, and become more authentic and forthright in my communications, powerfully transforming my personal and professional lives." T. M., manager
"Your coaching is incredibly dependable and supportive. You are my measure of accountability and integrity. Your coaching was a wonderful experience; you knew how to play with the important goals in my life and move me towards them successfully." —S. R., CEO
"You coach me for my commitments even when I have lost sight of them myself!" —D. A., teacher
"Working with you gave me a fresh perspective and energized my job search. You helped me ‘think outside the box’ and research alternative routes. In only a few sessions, my perspective on life balance and a sense of fun have returned to me after four years!" – G. D., division manager seeking career change
"In only three months, your coaching helped me generate more clarity, new ideas and refresh my focus. The opportunity for non-threatening feedback and non-competitive sharing helped validate my ideas. By honing my listening skills and the ability to be with others, my company received the most significant piece of business yet from a nationally recognized retailer." – W. D., entrepreneur
"By steering me to address my work in smaller ‘chunks,’ utilize software tools, delegate to others so that they could contribute to me, and reduce my expectation that everything I do has to be ‘perfect’ (when ‘good enough’ is enough), you help me to focus, stay on task, manage an overwhelming workload, get more accomplished, and even have more time to enjoy my life outside of work." –N. F., attorney
"You helped me identify a problem I wasn’t even aware I had! You also assist me in invalidating those old voices playing untrue tunes in my head and still ruling my psyche, so that my authentic love and self-healing can resurface. You articulate and mirror back my utterings in new ways so that I can see more clearly into my soul." –L. C., free spirit
"In my second coaching term, things moved so much faster than I expected! My attitude improved by light years. For the first time in a very long time, I have a sense of happiness and belonging. You urge me to ‘have a plan, not to forget the plan, and stick with the plan.’" -J. L., administrative vice president
"By helping me to realize that I have a lot more to offer than I thought possible, to dream bigger, and to own my power, I was able to move in one year from not selling any real estate to top producer for our agency—from scarcity to abundance!"– M. S., realtor
"With your coaching, I felt listened to and more peaceful, and I have developed more self-confidence."– E. S.

What is your coaching philosophy?
