CLIENT EXPERIENCES
I was at a cross-roads in my career, grappling with being a design consultant, dealing with entrepreneurship, and feeling frustrated with my lack of progress helping with the Climate Crisis. Pam and I had previously worked together on a project so when I heard about her talk about Executive Coaching, it seemed a natural outgrowth for her, but didn’t think it pertained to me.
The thought of having the help of a coach seemed unnecessary. I would just figure out my own problems, in my own way. It was my family though that encouraged me to reach out and ask Pam to help me as I struggled to make progress.
I am so fortunate that I did, as it unlocked my mindset about how I could and should rethink my path.
The process was profoundly introspective, especially for a designer focused upon everyone else. She encouraged me to dig into the things I was passionate about, what I had done before, and what had changed in my world view. I explored how to be involved and reach I never would have imagined, taking new approaches and looking at just what I needed to get there. I enrolled in Circular Economics classes at Cambridge, my first true program outside of design, joined sustainability groups and started talking more directly about my passion to help humanity adapt and address the Climate Crisis.
It also allowed me to I set terms for my next position according to these new goals. Ultimately, I joined Amazon Robotics, my first corporate position in decades, to focus on the human and sustainable path robotics should take. It was the first time in a long time that I felt there was a chance to be more of who I want to become. I am forever grateful to Pam for her guidance and coaching and recommend that you consider hiring her if you want to truly reimagine your future self.

The most important impact of our work was creating a thorough and clear plan and brainstorm for my career shift, which was happening at a time of high uncertainty. Having a partner to reassure me of a new direction, when I don't have anyone immediate to guide me, I was able to manage a layoff much better because of the map I made with you.
Instead of feeling lost, I felt excited about my plan forward and felt I was supported because of the hours we talked through it together. I haven't executed my plan exactly, but the frameworks and timeframes we put together helped me understand the reasonable parameters for this period, so I don't feel worried if I'm not exactly "on track."

Before I met Pam, I was experiencing a lack of clarity and purpose in my life and career. I had a great, stable job that I enjoyed, but couldn’t see myself doing for another 10 years. Traditional trajectories for my role didn’t sound exciting and I also had many half-baked ideas and things I wanted to try in my life, but I couldn’t imagine how to fit it in and didn’t think it was possible. I felt deflated and unmotivated.
Since working with Pam, so much has changed for the better. I’ve gained more insight and clarity on my mission and purpose in life, and subsequently found a new job that puts me more in alignment with these goals. Pam encouraged me to prioritize myself and my wants, which was (and still is) so foreign to me. I don’t think I would have had the opportunities I have now, without Pam’s advice.
Pam also helped me realize a connection between my multi-varied interests, both career and personal, and I started to believe that the life I want is possible and not as far fetched as I previously thought.

“From our first conversation I felt my personality was seen and goals were understood. It was an immediate "yes" for me and since day one I feel so much gratitude for you and your ability to connect and offer alternate perspectives and fresh options. Positive, gentle reinforcement, thoughtfulness and shared research makes your approach so intimate and personalized. You've been exactly what I needed to help me organize my priorities and guide me through steps to achieve my goals.”

Coaching helped provide structure, purpose, and clarity, which allowed me to find focus and optimism in a time when it was very easy to lose motivation or become depressed.
I uncovered themes and insights that helped me craft my non-negotiables, allowing me to be more clear on my short and long-term goals, and the actionable steps required to achieve them.
I also gained a strategic framework that I can return back to over and over again when I lose direction or navigate a big decision.

Pam is a true gift. From our very first conversation, I felt heard, understood, and—most importantly—excited about my career again. I found myself looking forward to our next call, knowing that each session would bring more clarity, confidence, and direction. Pam’s brilliant curiosity and insightful questions helped me untangle the fog of uncertainty and reconnect with my purpose. Through our conversations, I came to realize that my passion for building people programs—ones that help employees thrive, grow, and feel valued—was deeply rooted in my own story. Watching my parents, first-generation immigrants, work tirelessly in sweatshops, I saw firsthand the impact of workplaces that didn’t invest in their people. That realization, guided by Pam’s coaching, helped me find my voice, my story—my narrative. Pam was there. She helped me move past my own self-imposed roadblocks, uncovering blind spots I didn’t even realize I had. She provided immediate, actionable strategies to help me define a path that was truly mine—all while teaching me how to quiet the inner critic that so often whispers doubt. As an HR Partner, I’ve worked with many coaches over the years in leadership development, and Pam is truly exceptional. She brings a rare combination of strategic thinking, heart, and integrity to everything she does. Pam, from the bottom of my heart—thank you for helping me be brave. Even 15 years into my career, I feel reinvigorated, refocused, and ready for what’s next. Christine T. Human Resources Consulting
Pam is so much more than a coach to me. She’s been such a genuine, caring, and consistent presence over what has been a pretty chaotic and confusing six months of my life.
I’ve been to numerous career coaches, but Pam is the only one who invested in me as a person and who understood that there’s more to my career exploration and job search than the standard resume guidance, cover letter writing, and networking “how to's." She’s helped me understand what my personal blockers were and provided me with tangible ideas as to how to overcome them.
Most importantly, Pam helped me adjust my mindset and reframe my thoughts so that I felt true enthusiasm about the job search journey and the confidence to apply this new approach to other aspects of my life.

Pam's humanistic approach to coaching had a huge impact on my business. Pam has a gift for listening deeply and offering me such a clear reflection of my own thoughts. She gives you a sense of validation and empowerment by making you feel heard and seen. With Pam's help, I realized purpose behind my work, where I was able to combine my personal values with my professional goals. I not only became a better entrepreneur, but Pam helped me find purpose behind my work - how my agency can be stronger storytellers on behalf of my clients while providing a platform for my team to express their creativity.
