What people are saying...

Donna Hammill-Chalk coached me through my transition to new employment. I benefitted greatly from Donna’s knowledge and guidance. Her feedback was timely and helpful and she was 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 actually, consciously felt all of Donna’s patient 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. I found her approach to be very effective in helping me to determine what direction to take in my career for the short and longer term. I also worked with Donna to transition into my new role and she gave me some helpful ideas on getting off to a good start. As well, during some challenging times with our leadership team, Donna was again instrumental in helping me to 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 my coach, Donna- with whom I bonded immediately, has helped me move to working 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 to 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 experience.

Donna was a vital component of my business planning as I transitioned from one role to another.

Donna did a very good job at establishing the coaching relationship and worked with me to build an action plan to meet my coaching goals. Donna did an excellent job of prompting my to think of 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 certain that I ended up far more enlightened than had I completed the journey on my own.
