“Signy, the power of your coaching sessions, and the tools you’ve equipped my business partner and I with, consistently amaze. Through our work together, you’ve helped us stay on track with the big picture business and personal goals, and also guided us in addressing the everyday challenges of business ownership and leadership along the way. We value your perspective and the accountability and tools for goal achievement you provide; these have been invaluable assets as we’ve built our business over the years. Thank you for teaching us to not only see the possible, but for challenging us to push our personal visions of what possible could look like! We deeply value your talent and coaching. Thank you.”

“Signy, your coaching made a such a different to me, both personally and professionally. Your keen insight and ability to gently but powerfully call out my greatest strengths really helped me to see what I have to offer and make better use of it. My increase in self confidence, directly related to our coaching, has changed what is possible for me in my life and my work. Through the coaching that we did around understanding the perspectives of other people and what is really important to them, I have become better able to communicate in a way that creates the impact I want, allowing me to further strategic goals that are important to my organization and enhance my own personal development. This has been useful for both me and my company.”

“When I first started working with you I was “tentatively” powerful, and during our time together, you helped me become “powerful on demand”. Now I ask for what I want or need, I swing out into big territory with assurance, and I take charge for my own magnificent life. When I’m headed into an overwhelming situation, I often find myself thinking “What would Signy do?” — Signy, you lead as you live, and I’ve learned from you that I can do it too!
Thank you for all the energy you invested into “seeing me” and challenging me to step up and be the leader you (and I) knew I could be. You recognized my desire to be great, to serve and make a difference, and helped me achieve just that.”
JEANNIE GOODLET
“to be seen and stretched, called on and called forth
to be courageously reunited with the depths of your being
to be in the richness of your unfolding magic place
to be in an open field of joyful bigness and acceptance
to be in the gorgeous place of feeling known, vulnerabilities and all
to be in your laughter spot as you connect to your bodies knowing and growing
to be in a conscious lit up state of fierce loving, by leaning in and letting go
…is to be coached by Signy.
thank-you.”
TAMMY DEWAR
ACC, CPCC
“Through the coaching that I have been fortunate to receive from Signy, I have gained critical insights into how I do my work and how I relate to my supervisor and my colleagues. My supervisor has expressed satisfaction for my new modes of communication with her and I am able to collaborate more effectively with my team members. This has allowed me to be much more productive in my work and has resulted in tangible positive outcomes versus frustration at the barriers that I previously encountered.
Signy believes in me and what I am truly capable of, repeatedly championing me and reminding me that I can do what it takes to move things to the next level. Her ability to lead the way through how she is with me in our coaching inspires and motivates me to try different ways of behaving. Signy’s coaching is clear, honest, and direct – yet at the same time compassionate and understanding. It is a gift to have her in my professional life, as well as a great value to the organization as her coaching has helped me to move key objectives forward in a way that respects both myself and others.”

“Signy’s coaching has been both inspirational and practical, and has enabled me to advance in my career.
In my new role as a manager, Signy provided a clear, fresh perspective and step-by-step way of handling what was for me a sometimes overwhelming role.
She employed a unique and powerful way of helping me to identify and face some of my more uncomfortable underlying feelings including ‘imposter syndrome’ and self-doubt, which was an important first step into then moving into concrete solutions.”
JAYN STEELE
Account Manager, Mentor 4 Inc
“Signy, you are a miracle worker! Thank you for taking me on a journey of self-reflection, discovery, and learning. The coaching skills and techniques you’ve taught me have empowered me to have effective conversations with my staff and maximize their potential. You make me believe in the power of coaching!”
RICK YACKNOVETS
Director, Compensation RBC Financial Group
“Before working with you, I was never clear about the direction of my life and how I would get there. I used to be inconsistent with my workday—sometimes I’d hit home runs, but most of the time, I wouldn’t even get up to bat! You gave me the tools to make every workday successful and get into “the zone” with my business, like athletes do with their sport.
The commitment of meeting with you each week was far outweighed by the return and benefits from our sessions. Now I have a routine that enables me to get in a powerful and positive mindset everyday.
Thank you Signy, for showing me how easy it can be. You have motivated me to prioritize the things that are most important to me, and your reminders of what I wanted to accomplish and why were the tools I needed to keep me on track and focused. You helped me clearly define my goals and take specific steps towards them. You helped me realize the kind of person I am and how to stay true to that person, whether working on business, climbing, or just sitting on the deck in reflection.”
ROBERT HEPPER

“Signy’s enthusiasm, fire and zest keeps me on my toes. Her use of humour to break up my outdated perspectives makes all the difference in how I approach the world.”
Rhiannon Dacosta
Intensive Care Unit Doctor, Toronto East General Hospital
“Signy, you identified an ideal new career for me; one that I never imagined. I instantly knew you were correct in your assessment and acted upon it. I now own a thriving company because of your advice! I have been especially impressed with your ability to show me how to maximize my learning, and earning, potential.”
PAMELA FERRARI
“Signy you have an uncanny knack for helping people look at workplace and whole life issues from a different perspective, leading to frequent “ah-ha” realizations and insightful revelations. You don’t tell people what to do; you simply have an amazing ability to intuit the very question that needs asking. You pose the sort of questions that lead people to re-examine the issues and apply skills that might be lying dormant or forgotten. You facilitate life advances by accessing and expanding the inner wisdom and power that exists within all of us. You are a supportive leader who provides bracingly honest yet genuine feedback. The tips, tools and techniques that I have witnessed you provide to myself, and to other training program participants, made it possible for us to achieve sustained positive behavioral changes and to get out of our comfort zones. You have the ability to guide people in discovering their life purpose, and to design an individual and realistic growth plan with accountability to encourage their vision, personal time-management style, and work and lifestyle preferences. Signy you absolutely sparkle with authenticity, you’re engagingly curious and have an obvious passion about connecting with people.”
JILL KORSTROM
Legacy Coach, Meridian Life Design Inc.
“Signy, your confidence, compassion, wit and intelligence are the traits that first drew me to you when I chose you to be my personal coach. As we spent time together, your ability to create an environment of trust and excitement, your keen intuition, and wonderful sense of humour enabled me to look at myself with greater clarity and honesty, without feeling judged. Thank you for reminding me to move forward and leave excuses for a lack luster life behind.”
ANNE BEAUDRY
“Signy, your energy is contagious! Thank you for not allowing me to be anything less than my best self! Your commitment to your work with me has been so powerful; I experience so many ah-ha moments, resulting in great clarity. Thank you for providing me with positive experiences that benefit me as I plan my next steps.”
