  • "A combination of Ingrid’s kind spirit and intuitive nature allows her to guide you into deeply connecting with what it is you want to achieve - personally and/or career-wise. Her remarkable techniques allow you to unblock any mental obstacles and propel you onto your path - bringing your goals and visions into focus. Having experienced her invaluable service and skills first hand, I can’t say enough about how incredible and impactful this work is, even after the initial session. I went in unsure of what to expect and without having identified what I would want to say or do, left with a profound sense of purpose and clarity in the directional steps I needed to take in realizing my life’s work. Ingrid was my flashlight in the dark. Whether you know exactly what you are looking to improve or gain insight to, have no clue about what you want or where to begin, or if you are curious but apprehensive about what you might gain from these sessions, don’t worry, it will take shape as part of the process. Don’t sleep on that free consult and see just what she can do for you!"

  • “Ingrid is the executive coach and mentor I always wanted! I started working with her in the Fall of 2020. I was seeking guidance as I navigated challenges at work and also to look ahead to my future. Ingrid encourages me to set an intention before each session and drill down what we want to focus on. I am always so impressed by how much we get through in a short hour. Her empathetic listening skills coupled with her inquisitive curiosity allows us to dig deep and get to the root cause of a challenge which leads us to a discussion and ultimately a solution and action step. Ingrid’s thoughtful mentorship has encouraged me to dare greatly and to not shy away from be vulnerable and pushing emotional boundaries at work and in my personal life. This has proven to strengthen many of my relationships both personally and professionally. Her sessions are built specifically for my needs and I always leave our discussions feeling really cared for. I highly recommend Ingrid to anyone looking for an executive coach.

  • “I had the pleasure to work with Ingrid over the course of about six months this year and my experience was transformational. She knows how to create a psych-safe space, while at the same time she really challenged me to get out of my comfort zone professionally and to take on some difficult things I had been shying away from. She is a very instinctive coach and knew how and when to steer the conversation towards more future-oriented visionary work and when I needed some more practical advice and guidance. I used her mainly for career coaching, but she also helped me build my leadership and negotiation skills. This helped me work with my leadership team to redefine my role in the company. I highly recommend working with her.”
