Due to a new role at work, I was looking for a personal coach to help me increase my self-awareness and self-confidance. I had started working on my own personal development and was looking for assistance to push myself a bit more. As luck would have it, I attended a conference where Sarah Noll Wilson was the keynote speaker. I inquired about their personal coaches and was introduced to Memorea Schrader, a Sarah Noll Wilson, Inc. personal coach. From our first introduction on, I felt at ease with her. Each session with Memorea challenged me to look at my “truths” and verify the validity of each one. Our coaching sessions were well planned out with thought-provoking homework. Memorea has an intuitive nature and was able to help me draw great insight from each assignment. Because of this, I grew personally and professionally in a short period of me. Since hiring Memorea as my coach, I have greater confidance and self-awareness. I challenge myself to do things that I never believed I could do. The benefit that I received from these sessions was worth every penny. I highly recommend personal coaching if you are interested in working on your own personal growth and development.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Gilmara Villa Nova-Mitchell in connection with a variety of engagements, from coaching to equity consulting. Gilmara brings diversity, equity, and inclusion expertise and perspectives from her own lived experience. She is focused, calm, and kind. Gilmara is unique and especially valued to me and our organization because of her deep understanding of the complexity of how organizations work and the systems that underlie them. This combination of expertise is so important to advancing equity and change in an organization.

Gilmara was very instrumental in bringing our Management Team to a new level of camaraderie. It was as if she knew how to play into everyone’s strengths and connect us to one another in a very purposeful way. This was a journey we would gladly take again as long as Gilmara comes along for the ride. Thanks Gilmara for all your help!

Sarah had a genuine interest in our growth as individuals and as a team. She worked magic in moments of silence – balancing her curiosity desire to push us with somehow knowing when to simply let the silence speak for itself and move on. She crafted an agenda that met our team’s needs, then willingly threw it to the fire when she felt we needed to go a new direction. Our experience was personal and profound. DO IT NOW. If you think you have a healthy team – DO IT. If your team is unhealthy – DO IT. If you just want to see what it’s all about – DO IT. The way I’ve described it is this: MAGICAL. The two days with my team I most feared became the two days I was most thankful for. I see them with new eyes and appreciate them in new, special ways.
