Client Testimonials

We pride ourselves on honoring the confidentiality of our clients and our engagements. As trusted advisors, we know our clients appreciate this discretion. Regardless of whether we are working with clients in advisory or coaching roles, the key to our success has been putting clients first.  As a result, the majority of our new clients come to us through introductions from those already familiar with the quality and value of our work. Here’s what some of our clients have to say:  

 

“As a coach, Phyllis is great – insightful, calm, inspiring.”

– A.M., Senior Director, Molecular Design, Bio-Pharma Company

         

“Phyllis has played an invaluable role with several executive leadership teams that I work with. Through deep customer-centered partnership, exquisite interpersonal skills and an exceptional focus on outcomes, Phyllis has guided the CEO and his/her teams to vastly improved leadership outcomes, and business growth. More than this, Phyllis has exceptional insight into the relationship between the Board of Directors and the CEO and executive team. Her diplomacy and calm personal leadership style have enabled more powerful partnering between these two critical corporate organs, driving shareholder value creation. I recommend Phyllis without reservation.

– R.C., Board Chair, Life Sciences

 

“I had the distinct pleasure of working with Phyllis through a number of 1:1 coaching sessions as I grappled with an incredibly dynamic time in my life. I am a technology entrepreneur, new father, husband to an amazing wife and an engaged citizen of our amazing San Diego community and so I am constantly striving to keep a number of plates spinning at any given time. My sessions with Phyllis were incredibly timely as I navigated the many challenges in scaling a startup while investing the time and energy into my family and also prioritizing the restorative activities that I needed to invest in myself in order to bring my best to all other facets of my life. Once I had articulated what really mattered to me, Phyllis guided me to identify actionable methods and ways for me to ensure that I was on a path to prosperity and well-being as defined by me and nobody else. I continue on the journey to apply the principles and concepts that we worked on together and I am deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Phyllis. I would recommend Phyllis for anyone looking to level up and capture the true essence of what matters to them in life and business.

– S.R., Founder, Tech Start-up    

     

“Working with Phyllis Sarkaria was a dream. She helped assess our company’s HR needs and recruit a highly engaged and partnership-driven HR leader. During the transition, she served as an advisor on HR issues and helped us smoothly navigate complex employee issues. Each issue was resolved without incident, pushing the company forward and better allowing us to serve our people..”

– J.W., COO, Medical Device Manufacturer    

 

“Phyllis helped me identify potential areas for growth and provided insights that made challenges much more manageable. For example, I was able to apply tools from our discussion to have a productive conversation with a co-worker with whom I did not see eye to eye and with whom I needed to partner.”

– N.A., Sales Leader, Healthcare Tech Start-up
