Silver in '24 Program

"I learned how to replace my sense of urgency with the calm of knowing that it takes just one person to accomplish one small thing in one small amount of time. This mirrors a healthy approach to much in life and definitely applies to a start-up grass roots non-profit organization. Through persistent coaching, Joshua helped me see and experience the value of breaking down a large goal into small incremental steps. I am honored and grateful for the gift of the Silver in '24 Coaching Program."

"My biggest takeaway from the Silver in '24 Coaching Program was the invaluable guidance I received on effective communication strategies for tough conversations. The skills I gained allowed me to communicate my perspective clearly and confidently. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to participate in this program, as it has profoundly shaped my approach to leadership and decision-making."

"My biggest takeaway from the coaching sessions was having the coach objectively look at your situation and give you honest feedback is very helpful."

"My biggest takeaway is that it is ok (and sometimes necessary) to create professional boundaries and that breaking your to-do list into three categories A (urgent), B (semi-urgent), and C (not urgent) will change your life. In summary, establishing boundaries, prioritizing effectively, and taking care of your well-being are crucial for sustainable high performance in any role."

"I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the invaluable insights I gained from our coaching sessions. Your guidance on marketing strategies, goal-setting, networking, and time management has been transformative. What resonated with me the most was the importance of trusting myself. Thank you for your unwavering support and for helping me believe in my abilities."

"My biggest takeaway from the Silver in '24 Coaching Program was the profound impact of setting clear, achievable goals aligned with my organizations mission. The sessions provided insights into steps to strategic planning, and insight into innovative problem-solving. This guidance has not only encouraged me to refine my leadership approach but also equipped me with practical tools to enhance our service delivery and community impact, which I can also share with my team.."

"Your advice on several topics gave me the clarity I needed. You gave me several ideas and the motivation I needed to move forward as well as how to work with my board and volunteers to make my nonprofit move in the right direction and become a success."

"Developing a 'coaching' relationship with colleagues. Advocate for yourself. Communicate, communicate, communicate."

“The program's focus on time management was particularly impactful, offering practical strategies that helped me streamline my daily tasks, prioritize effectively, and reduce stress. The insights and tools I gained have been invaluable, enabling me to achieve a better work-life balance and approach challenges with a clearer, more focused mindset. I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to elevate their leadership skills and master time management.”

"I learned some organizational skills like how to create a more effective to-do list; but I would have to say my biggest takeaway was that improved communication leads to more effective leadership. I have noticed a big shift from incorporating simple changes, like explaining to my team why I am asking them to do certain things certain ways instead of just asking them to do it. Also, sharing the great work the team is doing with each other ... has naturally increased the transparency within our team, which can be so difficult to achieve when everyone is remote."

"My biggest takeaway from the program is that objective feedback is extremely helpful. I appreciated that Joshua was confident and bold enough to offer constructive feedback - a hard thing to find in my professional or social circles.

Joshua was prepared, professional, efficient. He was encouraging when warranted and also gave great feedback on ways to improve my presentation skills."

"I highly appreciate Joshua's honest and constructive feedback. The sessions were structured in a way that allows open discussion and time to prepare and implement some new ideas and see the outcome. I learned and implemented new concepts and different strategies to make team meetings more impactful and meaningful. The sessions kept me motivated, helped me to identify new strengths, and provided me with strategies to empower my team."
