"Meg takes a pragmatic coach approach to my marketing needs. I bring her fragmented ideas and she helps me pull them together.

“During my coach training I found my mentor Meg Montford. She was like a perfect match, the person I was looking for. And did I feel blessed to have her with me to answer the many questions and direct me as I went along the road to the entrepreneurship! We had regular phone sessions, and I found each and every session extremely beneficial. My mentor helped me define my goals - note, she did not define them for me, but she helped me in finding my answers myself. For the first time, I understood the essence of coaching - not as a coach myself but as being coached. She was there to (help me) define and articulate my thoughts, and clear up my vision to find the right path when I was at the crossroads.” Shweta L Khare, Student Coach, San Jose, CA

The course is intense, but the support of Meg Montford and fellow students during the weekly (Learning Labs) kept me on track. The knowledge and techniques I learned made an impact to my coaching business and will continue to be felt for years.

Thank you, Meg, for putting me on the road to success.” Julie Stroud, Owner, Dream Plans Inc., Danville, IL

Dear Meg,

This is just a brief expression of my appreciation for your marketing coaching over the past few months. I have gained so many different benefits that it's hard to choose which have been the most valuable.

First is your help in clarifying the direction I want to go and what type(s) of clients I most want to work. I've learned more about the importance of focusing on my target market in everything I do, while recognizing that this doesn't mean I can't assist other clients who want my help.

Another important aspect has been discovering some of my roadblocks so that I can begin working on them effectively. I'm encouraged by being able to start tackling some of those issues.

It has also been great to have a "sounding board" for my thoughts and ideas so I can sort out priorities and expand initial ideas into other possibilities. My recent bunch of articles published online (I think it's five so far) reflects that. I'm grateful for your encouragement about doing the article on "10 Mistakes in a Confidential Job Search" and submitting it for publication rather than just offering it as a freebie on my web site. It was recently published on www.goinglobal.com!

Last, but definitely not least, I appreciate your gentle "nudging" to keep me on track and get me to define and refine my thoughts as I talk through an issue. Your approach meshes very well with the way I like to work with people and enables me to feel comfortable but not complacent!

I'm looking forward to our next group of sessions in the coming weeks. Thanks again for all your help.

Sincerely,

Georgia Adamson, Certified Career Management Coach / Certified Professional Resume Writer
