Leadership Coaching Testimonials

“We had a leader who we gave constructive feedback to that didn’t agree with the feedback. We were able to use some Coaching tools provided to us by your Leadership Coach, and the leader was able to take ownership of the feedback, which laid the groundwork for him to work on improving in the areas we identified.”

“I have worked with Katie for the past two years and highly recommend her as a mentor, coach, professional partner/resource and friend. My past two years included focusing on managing stress productively so that I had better and realistic balance between my personal and professional life. Katie was also an excellent sounding board in hearing my ideas regarding developing, encouraging and engaging my team of Leaders. I am very appreciative of Katie’s strengths as an Executive and Career Coach.”

“Katie inspires me. She takes a whole person approach to coaching and recognizes that successful career development is interdependent with healthy life balance! With her help, encouragement and insight, I have developed greater confidence and trust in myself as a manager and leader.

I have learned how to be more open while holding healthy boundaries.” – A.L., Manager

“I sought out coaching during a period in my professional life where I was not sure if I was in a position I was able or willing to excel at.  Arianna’s thoughtful questions, the inventories, and the reframing of my mindset helped me to turn the corner and confidently step up into my role.” — V.M., Manager, Training

The Executive Coaching that Glacier Point Solutions delivers to myself and our organization is tremendously valuable. We are all delighted with your team and I am seeing meaningful leadership growth in our Executive Leadership Team members and Leadership Team members who are participating in the program. We plan to continue to grow and expand our Executive Coaching Program with Glacier Point Solutions.

We have seen demonstrative improvements in our targeted leaders’ leadership skills as a result of the Glacier Point Solutions coaching sessions (e.g., improved interpersonal conduct with their team members and peers; improved responsiveness to deadlines and commitments; improved attitudes towards team projects; better and more effective meetings; enhanced conflict management skills amongst peers and subordinates).

Glacier Point Solutions’ coaching methodology and delivery are personalized to individual’s needs with lots of flexibility, which has been key to further adoption within our leadership team and organization. Also, we have found the telephonic method of conducting the coaching sessions as an advantage of this coaching practice compared to others.

The resources Glacier Point Solutions provides are tremendous. I am using them in my staff meetings to increase the leadership skills of my leadership team.

“Through our Leadership Coaching work together I made progress toward all of my initial goals for Coaching. I now spend more time building relationships with my peers, staff, and superiors, which greatly benefit me in my work.

I have set aside time for strategic thinking and have used most of the strategic thinking tools you provided to me to shape my strategic thinking activities.

I recently sent my thoughts from one of those strategic thinking sessions to my boss and it was very impactful to our business.

I am also stronger at inspiring, recognizing, and encouraging my staff. And Coaching changed the way I look at myself and others in a positive way and impacted how I interact in meetings. I now do planning before most of my meetings and find that I am more successful at getting what I need for my department and in influencing others.

I also found documenting my Leadership Vision to be a very impactful activity and it led me to document the path I needed to follow to step into being the best leader I can be. I found your encouragement and ability to make me feel safe to be who I am, very helpful in our Coaching process and found Coaching to be everything I hoped it would be and more.”

“Katie B. Smith is simply a great coach. I have had the privilege of working with her over a period of time and she has always been a powerful support in helping me move forward and achieve results. She is smart, intuitive and possesses a strong background of life experience that is valuable to me in my coaching relationship with her. I would recommend Katie to anyone who is serious about clarifying and moving towards their goals and objectives.”

“Working with Katie was a coaching experience very unique from any prior traditional executive business coaches. She was able to put forth a spotlight on areas that could be developed so that I could continue making smarter decisions that match my talents and desired outcomes. She works from the inside out. This then led to more fulfilling relationships and work, all while expressing myself.

If you are stuck envisioning your vision and are willing to dig deep and do the work, Katie’s integrative methods do pinpoint and redefine areas of yourself, your mission, and your life!”

“Katie is a talented executive coach with a keen sense for enabling self-discovery, professional (and personal) growth and recognizing your own potential. She does this by offering a unique viewpoint into how you think and perceive yourself and others. The result is the realization of new skills, knowledge of how to capitalize on your strengths and use these tools to become a successful and authentic leader.

I highly recommend Katie for those who are looking to develop their professional skills and relationships or are searching for greater focus and satisfaction in their personal and professional lives.”
