What clients have to say:

  • "As a board member of Monterey Peninsula Pride, I had the pleasure of participating in a strategic planning session expertly facilitated by Mandy. This was our first experience with such a structured, outcome-driven exercise, and Mandy truly exceeded expectations. We were led through an exploration of our three focus areas ... resulting in a robust list of ideas, a clear prioritization framework on a 6-to-24-month horizon, and a practical roadmap with effort estimates. Mandy’s ability to keep us focused, on track, and even finish ahead of schedule speaks volumes. Mandy’s guidance has set us up to explore sustainable growth strategies that align with our mission. Monterey Peninsula Pride is incredibly fortunate to benefit from their expertise."

  • "I've worked with several coaches at Google and [my sessions with Mandy] were the most valuable I've had. I really appreciated the time spent understanding my ideas and feelings."

    Senior Director, Tech Industry

  • "Mandy listens with compassion and intent, and was able to understand my values as well as my lived experiences to help me focus on strategies that have helped me become the kind of leader I wanted to be, and to work for. Mandy sets herself apart from other leadership coaches I have worked with because she is not afraid to tackle difficult and contentious topics within the corporate environment such as patriarchy, toxicity and gender dynamics."

Mandy accompanied me in my unlearning the things that were holding me back, and in learning a different way of moving as an organizational leader…Our sessions were infused with challenge, humor, grace, and curiosity…. Everyone who wants to become the transformative leader and person they could be needs a Mandy."
