Client Testimonials
Maria Esteves-Ray – Director, Market Research, Scotiabank. “I was fortunate to be part of AMA’s inaugural coaching program and connect with such an incredible marketing C-Suite veteran. I went in with an established set of goals I was looking to achieve and was challenged in a way that helped me emerge with a new mindset, open to possibilities, ways of approaching leadership, and how to approach problems with a greater awareness of my personal strengths and weaknesses.” 
Janine Krish – Head of Marketing, BlueDot “My coach Carol Reader pushed me to get me out of my comfort zone and directed me to face “without anesthesia” those things that sometimes you avoid confronting but that are necessary to be aware of if you really want to know who you are to achieve your objectives. It allowed me to confirm my strengths, discover other assets that were a little hidden within me and some behaviours and responses in certain situations that I needed to change to move to the next step in my professional career. I am very happy and pleased with the results I got from the AMA Coaching program.” Ariel Levinson – Sr. Field Marketing Manager, Equinix. “I was fortunate to be part of AMA’s inaugural coaching program and connect with such an incredible marketing C-Suite veteran.

Is Coaching Right for You? FAQs
SELF DISCOVERY
Certified Executive Coaches encourage clients’ self discovery, elicit client generated solutions and strategy and hold the client responsible and accountable. Coaches expect that you’re going to put in the work to advance yourself forward and they are there to support you.
HOLISTIC APPROACH
A Certified Executive Coach focuses on the whole person, encouraging you to explore your thoughts, feelings, values, needs, wants, beliefs and behaviors.
CO-CREATIVE PARTNERSHIP
It’s a co-creative, equal partnership, where the coach is helping the client discuss their own answers. The responsibility of a Certified Executive Coach is to discover, clarify and align with what the client wants to achieve – not what the coach wants to achieve – during the term of their engagement.
CRITICAL THINKING
Executive Coaching invites you to really think about your own thinking, it’s a time that you get to just think about you and have someone there to support you as a sounding board, and as a partner.
