    "Henry was my leadership and communication coach for two months. We primarily worked on project management, establishing OKRs, KPIs, communication skills, and the ability to prioritize projects that have the most impact for my career and for the organization. I appreciated Henry’s expertise in content marketing and storytelling, coupled with his insights as both an empathetic leader and a coach. He empowered me to ask critical questions for both my holistic career/ personal development and making an impact on the business."

  • testimonial-rachel-ambroziak

    "One of the first things Henry encouraged me to do was to dive deep into my 'why.' It was a transformative moment in our partnership because my ‘why’ took many formations, and I greatly appreciated Henry's flexibility in adapting to these shifts. With a clear understanding of my purpose, we then focused on the 'how.' Henry's coaching style was what I needed to thrive. His positivity and support served as a constant source of inspiration, leaving me excited to put my newfound knowledge into practice after every session. He provided a nurturing and judgment-free space for me to ask questions, explore new ideas, and even be vulnerable when necessary. His wealth of knowledge and expertise is invaluable."
