Imagine yourself as one of DEFINING SUCCESS COACHING’s success stories. Take it from these satisfied clients, both one-on-one coaching and group coaching get you results.
“Angela and I began working together with a variety of exercises which allowed me to dig deeper into my core beliefs and understand what I truly want in my life. Is it that I feel ‘stuck’ because of my situation or am I holding myself back due to fear of expressing myself? Discussing this on a weekly basis allowed me to keep track of my goals and be held accountable when I may not have otherwise pushed myself to the fullest extent. Angela also helped me become aware of inner dialogue—telling yourself you WILL succeed truly does help you SUCCEED!
So, I got the guts to ask for a raise at work. While scary, I GOT THE RAISE (THREE TIMES what I originally asked for) plus respect from my boss from taking action. From this achievement alone, I gained a level of confidence in the work place that continues to pour over to this day—I have a voice, so I might as well use it! (Over a year ago, you would have NOT have heard this from me).
Sticking to your goals, no matter how small or large, is extremely difficult, especially when any level of fear is involved. Angela guided me to using reminder techniques that work for me to accomplish these goals. And, what I was most impressed with about this is that she found what worked for ME; not what worked for the average Joe. She personalized it, using examples based off of her knowledge of my past and my present, directing me down a path to show me that I ultimately do know what to do.
Here are the things I truly admire about Angela’s coaching:
- Personal direct attention to YOU.
- Her knowledge, creative advice, tips and exercises.
- The fact that she is there for you in the event you need to check in (hello accountability).
- Her honesty—if she needs to call you out, she will. And most of the time, this is JUST what we need to move forward.
- Her ability to take a HUGE goal and work it down into smaller, more attainable goals to help you achieve the big picture.
I could go on and on about every little detail—but these coaching sessions have been some of the greatest life-changing experiences I’ve had.”

“Angela has been fantastic to work with. She really knows her stuff. I’ve been trying to figure out a career path for the past few years, but have not been able to come to any solutions on my own. Within just a few months, Angela was able to help me clarify my career purpose and goals. For the first time in a while I’m feeling confident in my future plans, and as a result I am finally feeling calm, relaxed, and happy. Angela is a great coach; she knows how to push you to think critically about your internal interests, skills, and motivators. To anyone who is considering a career change or who would like to become more fulfilled within their existing career, Angela will help you identify and achieve your career goals with confidence.“
