Donna’s coaching renewed my confidence and empowered me to highlight my strengths as I navigated the storms that hit when I encountered a difficult time in my job this past year. During our coaching sessions, Donna challenged me with great questions, which helped me refocus my energies, improve my communication with an incredibly challenging boss, get clarity on the issues, and work toward substantive solutions.

Donna’s hard work developing and teaching a high school Geometry class for my home educated daughter and her peers with learning disabilities was invaluable. In addition to teaching the class, Donna influenced and encouraged her students to master more content than they thought possible, held them accountable for assignments, and gave a thorough report for our home school transcript.

Donna Christophersen is simply a master practitioner, engaging those she coaches with confidence and clarity that builds those same attributes in others. I heartily recommend Donna for any project where you need modeling of calm leadership and collaborative problem solving—and isn't that always?"

By answering questions about how some of the questions or material is worded and what is implied in them was super helpful. Knowing what was coming ahead, Donna was able to guide us through when we were getting ahead of ourselves.
