What people are saying...

Donna Hammill-Chalk coached me through my transition to new employment, and the personal growth I experienced was significant. I benefitted greatly from Donna’s knowledge and guidance. Her feedback was timely, helpful, and highly responsive and flexible in meeting or speaking with me. Donna gave me honest feedback. She was not afraid to challenge my assumptions or interpretations—but always in the spirit of building my confidence, motivating me and inspiring future possibilities. One day, as I sat preparing for an event, I consciously felt Donna’s patience and persistent coaching click. I enthusiastically recommend Donna as a highly effective and professional coach, mentor and advocate.”

Donna Hammill-Chalk worked with me to set goals to work toward achieving my career objectives. Her approach was very effective in helping me determine what direction to take in my short and longer-term career. I also worked with Donna to transition into my new role, and she gave me some helpful ideas on how to get off to a good start. During some challenging times with our leadership team, Donna was again instrumental in helping me navigate through some difficult conversations. While I have significant experience myself in managing people and my own career, Donna was definitely helpful in having me think about things differently and consider options that I had not thought about.”

Working with Donna has been a very productive, positive and enabling experience. After retiring from a 30-plus-year career in the corporate world, partnering with the executive coach, Donna- with whom I bonded immediately, has helped me move to work in a field that I'm passionate about and that satisfies my need and desire for creativity. Donna helped me see and encouraged me to use my talents to build a cake-decorating business that has now become quite successful, supplementing my retirement income and allowing me to live my dreams. Thanks Donna!!!”

Donna challenged me to reflect on who I am and understand the stressors faced in my role. As a consequence, I was able to develop strategies to cope with these difficult situations. I significantly enhanced my leadership skills. Donna is easy to connect with, which allowed me to open up and learn more about myself. Thank you, Donna, for a truly meaningful executive coaching experience.”

Donna was vital to my business planning as I transitioned from one role to another. I have greatly benefitted from Donna’s coaching skills and gentle persistence during my journey toward focusing on my goals. As a highly effective professional executive coach, I have recommended Donna to family, friends, and colleagues and continue to do so.”

SC, VP, Real Estate Industry

Donna did a very good job establishing a coaching relationship and working with me to build an action plan to meet my coaching goals. Donna also did an excellent job of prompting me to view situations differently than I was accustomed to. This provided new perspectives and created deeper, more meaningful learning. I gained insight into areas that I would not naturally explore. I am confident that I ended up far more enlightened than had I completed the journey on my own.”
