A personal note from Starla

After a challenging and successful career in the financial services industry, I decided to build the job that I really wanted - helping others create better lives, careers and businesses. My many years in corporate America taught me a number of things - the concept of leverage to achieve more with less, how to create value within an organization and for clients, and how to manage competing priorities. But above all else, my success can ultimately be attributed to a single lesson that I learned well - the power of relationships.

A good coach isn't just someone who has learned the right skill set. It is the culmination of years of experience, insight and constant questioning. I am an effective coach not because of my training, but because of who I am.

I chose the path of coach and trainer because that's what I'm built for - helping others connect with what is important to them. I also loved that I could create a coaching business based on my own skills, education and experience.
