CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
HP, private practitioner
Your impact on me was so significant! I’m much more in touch with what I want, while being aware of the negative voices. Awareness is everything! I’m sitting with the discomfort, reminding myself this discomfort is small compared to the discomfort of living in a way that is inconsistent with who I am. Reminding myself that the trauma of others is not my own has helped me create space for myself while still being able to be supportive of others.
Overall I feel more settled, aware, and strong in my convictions about what my life should look like.
Chrissy Summers, entrepreneur
I am not exaggerating when I say working with Lynn has been life changing. I am more grounded, calmer, make better personal and professional choices, and am in a completely different place than I was two years ago. I am overwhelmingly grateful for her guidance, demeanour and advice.
BZ, biotechnology
Lynn’s compassion and honesty helped me understand the difference between perception and reality. With her support, I drastically improved my relationship with my VP, and moved from being a people manager to a manager-of-managers to a director role in three years.
SC, technology services
Lynn—Thank you so much for our last session, I had a heart to heart with my wife and we’re partnering closely, not allowing each other to get too off track. Keeping each other accountable for watching over saboteurs that we both struggle with. I can’t thank you enough for your help, guidance, coaching… This has been so absolutely meaningful and transformative.
KRS, health care research
So, it worked. I passed. I found out last night and I still can’t believe it! I’m so grateful for your guidance and support. I can’t even describe how I feel today… but happy and light to start! And can feel the things I envisioned with you starting to become reality. Thank you, thank you, Lynn, for everything!
Hazel Kantayeni, CARE International
The project team kept talking about the sessions you facilitated for us. Not only did they enjoy them, but those sessions bridged relationship gaps between our organizations, and between staff levels. People now better appreciate how important each one of them is to the realization of our project, and that each person’s job affects the others.
The one-on-one coaching you did with me came at a time when I was feeling intimidated with the huge responsibility in front of me. Our sessions made me realize my capabilities, and built my self-esteem and confidence. They completely changed how I look at myself.
Our partner organization benefited most from your work, since you spent most of your time there. Their functionality tremendously improved. This will work to our advantage, since they are our strategic partner in nutrition. You made a difference to be remembered.
Beatrice Mateyo, Coalition for the Empowerment of Women and Girls
Lynn’s openness encouraged all team members to participate and contribute their views. Team members were able to recognize their strengths, and the importance of their contribution to our organization. They realized that everyone matters, and that individual failure would result in the organization failing as a whole. Personally, I learned the importance of providing positive feedback, and that I can take different approaches in managing different team members. Through these sessions, we have been able to better harness our team’s potential.
Bessie Ndovi, national coordinator, Civil Society Organization Nutrition Alliance—Malawi
Lynn brought a new wave of change into CSONA. She took time to study and understand our organization, and then proposed ways in which to support us. I knew she always had the best interest of CSONA at heart.
The interviews she did with our stakeholders made revelations that have enabled us to work better, and improved the functionality of our network. She facilitated team building sessions that created a deeper trust amongst members of staff, instilled in us a teamworking spirit, and left behind a warm environment.
Apart from being an organisational development advisor, Lynn was also my personal coach. I was new to my role prior to her coming, and faced difficult challenges. Lynn coached me through some of those, and also taught me how to deal with things from a managerial perspective. She instilled in me a sense of self trust, and increased my self esteem as a leader.
Daniel, NGO
As a coach and mentor, Lynn is nurturing, calm and patient. I found her sessions to be incredibly meaningful as we would explore difficult questions about goals and values but within a supportive environment. Lynn’s work is sure to help anyone looking for greater clarity about themselves and the work they do or aim to do. For those who are unsure if coaching is really relevant to their situation, I’d recommend a quick chat with Lynn first before deciding.
Yiely Ho, Leadership Development manager, Provincial Health Services Authority
Lynn’s style of coaching is inviting, warm and fearless. I felt welcomed to bring my whole self to the table. Together we were energized by what we shared, and created major breakthroughs in a short period of time. I trust Lynn to boldly lead a person or team into transformative success.
RM, crown corporation
Lynn is a fantastic business coach. I benefited greatly from her guidance through some challenging work situations. She has a talent for helping one achieve big results by helping them face difficult truths and navigate delicate relationships.
I highly recommend Lynn as business coach, and in particular for goals or problems that seem insurmountable.
Frank Martinez, global technology
I highly recommend Lynn Thorsell as a professional coach. I worked with Lynn for six months, and during that time, she helped me to be kinder to myself, build up my confidence, and improve my strategic communication skills.
Lynn is a compassionate and insightful coach who is skilled at creating a safe and supportive space for her clients to grow. She is also a strategic thinker who is able to help her clients identify their goals and develop a plan to achieve them.
I am grateful for the support and guidance that Lynn provided me during my time as her client. I am a more confident and effective communicator as a result of our work together. I would highly recommend Lynn to anyone who is looking for a coach to help them reach their full potential.
