What Customers Say About Thelma
“Ms. Thelma’s coaching approach is very effective, it is not prescriptive. It doesn’t invalidate, rather, it affirms or corrects though self-reflection made possible by the questions she asks and how it is being asked. Her demeanor, tone of voice, physical appearance and listening skill create an environment of trust and safety. She exudes professionality but with warmth and concern to the coachee. I felt the joy and genuine desire to help in the approach during the 6 sessions we had. The approach made me cooperative and made me invested in the process.“
