Here is what my clients are saying…
Corporate & Executive Coaching: “I enlisted Athena’s corporate coaching services for a manager we had promoted. The results were evident in just a few sessions, the employee took on a more confident persona and developed into a more effective manager. Since then, she has coached other managers with the same outcome. As I’ve gotten to know Athena through this process, I have noticed that she has a way of getting you to look at things differently, allowing you to see other perspectives in order to make better decisions. Her unique style of communicating is very effective and has a positive impact on individuals both professionally and personally. I highly recommend Athena and her ability to coach and train people to the next level of their careers.”

Career & Leadership Coaching: “Athena is a thought-provoking, energizing career coach who brings clarity to the career management process, ultimately guiding her clients on the path to leading fulfilling careers. Soon after starting my first post-MBA job, I realized I was in a position that was not right for me. Unsure of what I was looking for, and daunted by the thought of changing directions, I turned to career coaching.
Athena challenged me to ask myself tough questions and, as a result, helped me develop a clear vision of what I wanted out of my career. With Athena’s feedback and guidance, I identified my top strengths, determined career opportunities where my talent would be put to good use, and simultaneously ensured I was on the right track to achieving my long-term objectives.
Athena is approachable and honest, and her investment in her clients’ success makes her both a pleasure to work with and an effective coaching professional. After working with Athena, I feel inspired by what the future holds for me and confident that I’ve made a calculated career move that will most definitely bring me closer to realizing my goals.”

She was key in helping me identify differentiating elements in both my personal traits and professional experiences, which we distilled into a clear, compelling and memorable message. Athena’s talent lies in her ability to accentuate what is innate rather than merely provide the packaging expected by industry.
