Ignite Your Potential

I have never been one to seek professional help for personal matters but I was so fortunate to be introduced to Kathy during a rather distressful transition period in my life. She helped me to slow down the decisions that were coming my way and helped to me to make a well-​intentioned, thought out decision that best suited my goals and lifestyle at that time. She was attentive, caring and most importantly, very soothing. The moment we started talking, I instantly felt a rush a calmness that really helped me to absorb the wisdom she was imparting. I had never had a tarot reading, nor had been extraordinarily interested in having one but Kathy used the cards as a guidance of sorts to help me sort out various topics that were prevailing in my life and helped me to develop the life skills necessary to work through my anxieties and doubts. I feel so so fortunate that Kathy came into my life and that I was able to receive a bit of extra support when I needed it most.

Christine Brooks, PhD, is approachable, emotionally and socially intelligent, and profoundly articulate. Her ability to see and hear who I am has touched me deeply. As a coach/​consultant, I spend a lot of time working with others. Working with Christine is helping me grow in my own conscious awareness of my best self while embracing my ‘flaws’ as part of the road map for successful evolution in all areas of my life. Her knowledge of the enneagram is powerful and very supportive! I highly recommend working with her!

In the past couple of months, I’ve been preparing for a big move out of state with my boyfriend, and for some reason I had a huge reality scare that I wasn’t sure anyone in my inner circle could help me with: I want a career change, and I don’t know how to deal with it, or who can help me? I talked to friends & family for advice, but it was hard to find useful tips for someone in my position who just doesn’t know what they want, or is barely forming a vague idea. A colleague recommended I speak with a life coach, which is how I found Dr. Colleen Campbell.
I visited the website and was able to book a complimentary session to talk with Dr. Colleen to make sure we were a good fit (love it!) before moving any further. Within the first 5 minutes, I was able to describe my worries & Dr. Colleen immediately picked up what I need, some simple Career Coaching! Honestly, how have I never thought about it? She asked me to take a «Strengths Finder Test» for her to analyze before our meeting to best guide me. The test was great, it gave me some confidence I lost in the type of business person I see myself as, I just needed help paving the path for an ideal career.
Dr. Colleen made me realize discovering your individual strengths can help you redefine the line of work you want to devote time to (ex. if I like organization & taking control, would I really be comfortable working in a high pace environment with lots of chaos & lack of responsibility). I shared a secret career choice I had in mind was a corporate trainer, I just didn’t know how someone makes that happen. Dr. Colleen was able to expand on similar career choices along that line of work, she gave me valuable information when I started inquiring about graduate programs to prepare for that type of career, and how to look for people in that line of work. Although I wasn’t expecting her to give me a direct answer of how to become a «Corporate Trainer», she gave me the coaching & tools to discover about the career & how to create the path for myself, it was a huge ego boost.
I took her career coaching into practice as I went through my phone interviews, and for the first time I felt confident in my responses & had the courage to ask questions for the future in the company if I decided I wanted to grow into a specific line of work as a facilitator/​trainer for them, and would you believe it I actually received lots of feedback on those inquiries?!
I highly recommend Dr. Colleen & her business if you are in need of Career Coaching or simply Career Counseling, no matter what stage of your career you may find yourself in. As I prepare for this move out of state, I find myself better prepared to fulfill my happiness with my career, & am thrilled to know Dr. Colleen can simply be a phone call away when I need help again. Thank you for your guidance!

I have been lucky enough to work with Meike on understanding my strengths. Meike is a wealth of knowledge on strengths and how you can identify and use your strengths in both your career and your life in general. She was incredibly helpful in guiding me to understand how my strengths can show up in my work and how I can focus on them to achieve better results. Meike was fantastic in explaining how your different strengths connect and how you can get them to work for you.
I would highly recommend Meike to help you understand your strengths, even if you’re happy in your career she helps you can be an even better version of your current self. I can only imagine the huge positive impact she could have on your life if you’re in a career transition or looking for your next path. Wherever you are in your career or your life, the more you can learn about yourself, the happier and more successful you will be and Meike will help you get there in a fun, meaningful and encouraging way.

I was in search of more than just career advice and I was lucky enough to be introduced to Meike! :)
I took a strengths finder assessment and have found it to be one of the best and easiest ways to understand my strengths as an individual. I did some work on my own from all the various resources on the gallup website but still felt I was only touching the tip of the iceberg.
Life then threw me a curve ball and I found myself at a cross roads in my career. This cross road made me want to seriously re-​evaluate what was meaningful to me in both my career and personal life. Life then threw me a bone and I was lucky to start working with Meike. She helped to surface key skills and strengths that I was inherently born with. It felt wonderful to embrace these skills and feel positive about the choices I was making to shift my career. I felt more in control of what I wanted to gain in my life and saw the brilliance of what it was like to actually embrace the gifts I was born with and find meaningful ways to keep using those gifts in my work and personal life.
3 key tips that I’ve learnt from working with Meike:
1.) get a coach — you are worth the investment. You will learn so much more about yourself than if you only read resources.
2.) understand your strengths, the combination of your strengths and how to dial them up or down — Use them to your advantage.
3.) strengths does not mean what job is good for you (pigeon hole view)…strengths is about… am I using my strengths everyday in this job… let me find more and more ways to keep using my strengths.
Meike is easy to talk with and is warm and encouraging and keeps you accountable to yourself. She has been a guiding light and support beam as I reposition my career. Re-​evaluating your career was a scary place for me but I have found its ok to shake things up. Through the work I’ve done with Meike I have new found value in what ~I bring to the table in both my career and in personal life.

My friend and I went to Colleen because we had some challenges in our relationship. We were committed to each other as lifelong friends, but we sometimes ‘pushed each other’s buttons.’
Colleen is a goddess. Insanely patient. Totally professional. Highly skilled & experienced. She was INVALUABLE in our success.
I don’t have the words.

I never really believed in a life coach. However, after talking and working with Guadalupe I really understand how talking to a professional can really open a world of opportunities. She’s helped make me more self aware and keep me true to my own goals. Thank you WADA.

I worked with Guadalupe and she definitely helped me to understand myself, manage my strengths and set my goals.
I really enjoyed learning more about myself!

Linda Lesem has been absolutely integral during a time of big transition in my life. I met with a bunch of career counselors prior to Linda, and I found Linda’s wholesome perspective to be unique and hugely helpful. On top of the many «aha» moments I’ve had talking with Linda, she is also very kind and patient. it is clear that she cares a ton about her clients. I would recommend Linda to anyone who is feeling stuck in any area of their life.

I worked with Meike Hennon to get some coaching related to the results of my Gallup Strengths Finder assessment. She was really great to work with and I got a lot out of it.
She really offered a lot of perspective in helping me best understand my strengths, how to capitalize on them, and even how I can best be managed by my employer in light of them. I was impressed by how pleasant she was able to make the process, even when it involved helping me understand the drawbacks of some of my strengths.
Overall, she is very talented as a coach and a lot of fun to work with. I got a lot of insight and motivation from her.

I worked with Linda Lesem when I went through a layoff earlier this year. I was in a time of great transition, and Linda was instrumental in helping me define my goals and go for what I really wanted. Her knowledge of and skills using the Myers Briggs personality test was amazing; I learned so much about myself from a personal and career perspective in our sessions together.
Linda is warm, caring, and goes above and beyond when it comes to helping her clients. I can’t recommend her enough, and so appreciate the time she took to really listen and understand where I was coming from. Her advice has proven invaluable to me, and I am more excited and energized than ever to tackle my goals.

Working with Dr. Campbell over the last year has been transformational in so many ways, breakthrough discoveries made, the personal alignment I was searching for, and creative growth within my career path beyond what I imagined.
Dr. Campbell took time to listen and understand what is meaningful in my life, and all that shapes me as an individual. She then guided me to see strengths within myself that I was totally unaware of. She has energized me to meet goals and helped me to a place of confident direction.
Dr. Campbell’s guidance is warm, intelligent, and passionate. She helped me to establish the foundation I needed in a time of much transition and subsequently, self doubt.
Moving forward, taking all I’ve acquired from my conversations with Dr. Campbell, I feel confident that I’ll use what I’ve learned now and in the future to find the success I aspire to.

If you are seeking a greater sense of personal authenticity or are navigating a major transition in your life, you owe it to yourself to get in touch with Dr. Campbell.
Dr. Campbell has a calming and yet energizing approach that made me feel comfortable and engaged from our first conversation. Her office became a sanctuary for focus and many «ah ha!» moments. Our conversations helped me to better define my goals and motivations as well as uncover and address any dynamics that threaten to hold me back from meaningful change.
The opportunity to work with Dr. Campbell as a trustworthy sounding board ultimately enabled me to take action with increased confidence that I am «on the right path». I am so thankful that I met with Dr. Campbell — the experience has been invaluable!

I had just gone through a period of personal transition and was ready to reassess my career path, but wasn’t sure what the right next steps were. Dr. Campbell helped me consider what type of role might be best for me by examining how my MBTI and Strengths overlay with simply what makes me happy — which people and activities make me most happy, which personal values are most important to me. We then identified goals, next steps for reaching them, and things currently blocking me.
Dr. Campbell immediately puts you at ease, and empowers you to build a path forward using tools you can continue to leverage forever — she’s not just handing you a solution, you are creating it together.

I’ve spent the past 3 months working with Dr. Campbell. She was a tremendous help as I worked through a relocation to SF and a career change/​re-​assessment.
She helped me to identify and better articulate my skills and strengths. This was enormously useful in writing cover letters and during job interviews.
She also helped me clearly define what I wanted from my career. By doing so I felt more focused going into job interviews. It also meant I was very comfortable accepting an offer with an organization in a role that I know will be a great fit.
She is a great listener with extensive training and tools, which she used to guide me through this process. I’m extremely grateful for her help. She helped me embrace my strengths and find my confidence again.

Dr. Colleen Campbell is that rare life coach whose work is grounded by an advanced degree, elevated by spiritual practice and guided by practical experience. She will appeal, for these reasons, to both those who are right brained and those who are left brained.
When I speak with Dr. Campbell, I know that she is listening deeply and that her responses are thoughtful and trustworthy. She provides insights, affirmations and new ways to look at things I hadn’t considered.
Working with a life coach is great way to stay on track or move ahead.
I highly recommend you sign up for Dr. Campbell’s complimentary session — you will see for yourself how her unique blend of life coaching and counseling inspires and motivates you to live to your potential.

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Campbell on two separate occasions.
Our first time working together, Dr. Campbell provided me with an in-​depth Myers-​Briggs analysis. She walked me through questions and provided me with great insight into my personal relationship and working style. The service didn’t stop there. Dr. Campbell’s analysis included an overview of other personality types and their communication styles. Her comprehensive explanations and observations have been invaluable in my professional life, as I have changed my communication style to better suit the needs of my clients.
I was in the process of hiring a new staff member and was struggling with the right fit to complement our team. I hired Dr. Campbell to help me navigate the murky waters of interviewing. She was able to listen to the needs of our organization, including direct job responsibilities and personalities of the other team members, to help me understand the qualities that would be a best fit for us. I received a detailed overview of qualities that would help compliment the current staff. She also provided me with some key items to listen for and question in interviews to make each interview productive.
I will definitely be using her services in the future whenever I need to get a fresh perspective on me, my team or my clients.

Dr. Colleen Campbell is a shining star. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and I am confident in referring clients who are seeking to activate change in their lives. Dr. Campbell is highly experienced in truly seeing a client deeply and understanding the stuck places that they are challenged by. She is very effective in assisting a client in creating clear goals towards their desired change and helping them transform their limitations towards effective expansions.
Dr. Campbell is a beautiful mix of earthy and practical goals and change with a special spark and delight. You instantly feel inspired to work with her. If you are needing a change in your life, especially around career then wait no longer, Dr. Campbell is a coach you will be thankful for in your life.

Learning more about yourself is one key to igniting your potential. The problem is that learning about yourself, by yourself is hard. That’s why I needed Dr. Campbell.
What to get out of a temporary rut, take that next step at work, improve a relationship, or simply prepare for a big decision? If so, it is time to call Dr. Colleen Campbell. Dr. Campbell will help you learn what it is about yourself that is holding you back or help you get in a place to make the best decision for you and the people you care about.

I met Colleen at a very interesting point in my life. I was/​am going through the phenom known as «saturm return,» a time of a lot of transformation. I told Dr. Colleen I was getting ready to sale all of my things and start traveling, but that I was super anxious about doing so since the behavior I had been exhibiting recently was all new.
She invited me to the Myers and Briggs workshop she was hosting the following week and it proved to be very helpful. I really appreciate the honest feedback and patience in helping sort through my situation.
She’s good. She’s passionate. She’s a kick ass life coach. Go see her!
