"The services of IWS have been invaluable for our organization. Through their active coaching and support services, our organization has been able to transform its operations in half the time we anticipated.
They help leaders identify major issues impeding progress, provide a sounding board for ideas and, most importantly, get you into action on your organizational plans and strategies. They tailor their services to fit your organization rather than making your organization fit some pre-packaged set of services. Fantastic!!"
Government Executive, Rockville, MD
"Jessica, thanks so much. I really find our sessions invaluably helpful. You help me see light where there was just confusion and shadow."
Program Director, Washington, DC
"Through my work with Jessica, I've learned to prioritize and subtly delegate the 'urgent' things that used to consume all my time and energy so that I can focus on the important things. I've learned that my skill and professional development are important and that I need to make time for it. I've learned that I don't have to be all things to all people all the time.
Jessica's intuition and memory is more accurate than anyone I've ever known. I feel that she is always prepared for our coaching sessions and is always one, two, or ten steps ahead of me. She reminds me of my own values and commitments and helps me to achieve them in a day-to-day way."
J. Kauffman, Washington, DC
"I was very impressed with Jessica's insight to know exactly what I was trying to say and what I needed to accomplish my task. She made me 'look good' to my company. The service is incredible. I no sooner ask IWS than the task is accomplished, and done well."
J. Lanier, Sales Executive, Historic Farmland, IN
"Excellent facilitation by Jessica! She did the right job. She did not force her desire, she was not saccharin. She was like the description of the perfect umpire--they are the ones that you don’t realize are there. She was perfect."
Director, Primary Care Office
"Working with Jessica has been fantastic. She has helped us focus on our issues and give us knowledge to put together a valuable group to set the direction for the company. Nobody in the group feels alone or with the entire burden on their shoulders of the difficult decisions we must make everyday, as now there are many others to share this with.
My belief is that most people understand the benefit of coaching - yet don't necessarily want to spend the capital (time/money) to invest in it because of other pressing crises. My answer is - this is an effective way to prepare and train yourselves to handle the crises that come your way.
What sets IWS apart is personality as well as tone. I have worked with other consultants, but here I felt that we were not forced into the decisions - that is, we defined the problem (with your help), we brainstormed (with your guidance) and we determined a solution (with your analysis).”
I. Frosch, Entrepreneur, Denver, CO
"Coaching helps me take a look at things differently. IWS provides knowledgeable support and experience that I can relate to whatever problem or situation I am addressing. I believe that the coaching experience at IWS has paid for itself in my level of growth and willingness to accept new challenges. Being more focused makes me more productive. This in turn raises my confidence in my abilities. It is a win-win situation for all.
The level of commitment to our mission is one thing that sets IWS apart. They took the time to get to know us and then helped us to work toward achieving our goals, both professional and personal. They realize it is a total package and many of the things (behavioral style, personality etc.) that I thought were holding me back were actually strengths that could be used to the advantage of our office."
Project Officer, Rockville, MD
"The flexibility of IWS staff has been wonderful! All of the staff are knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and have been extremely helpful. What sets IWS aside for me is that they understand the organization where I work and know the players, but are able to keep an objective point of view when it comes to my professional growth.
Having a coach has helped me take a step back in stressful situations and plan an effective win-win strategy. The impact of IWS' coaching reaches far beyond the workplace as it often helps me balance both work and home.
Within the past year, I was offered an opportunity to return to a previous employer which would have cut my commute by 1.5 hours each day. One of the factors that kept me from taking that opportunity was that fact that I would have lost IWS' coaching. My weekly conversations have really had a positive impact on my professional growth, opening many opportunities for me where I am currently employed."
Senior Project Officer, Rockville, MD
"Jessica is right on target. Somehow she zeros right in on the issues with insight and wisdom, and offers coaching that really makes a difference - practical, honest, and effective."
G. Schnier, Vice President Marketing, Denver, CO
"It was a terrific seminar! I continue to marvel at how well the group received and processed your information. You really connected! Again, thank you for your time and presentation. I do look forward to working with you again!"
A. Erglis, American Baby Group, New York, NY
