references to "training" and "workshop" have been changed to "coaching." "I do not think that I would have been promoted to my
current role (less than one year after moving to the U.S.) if my management
had not [noticed] the changes I went through, thanks to my coaching.
Since this promotion, my businesses have been growing and the overall feedback
I received for my mid-year performance review was quite strong.
Vincent Maupu, excerpts from his coaching
evaluation form
-
- "First thing, I realize that you had a wonderfully huge impact on me. I am more self confident and aware of what kind of leader I am. I am being who I am: pleasant, positive, and caring despite the very negative energy there is on the floor sometimes. Of course I kept my fighting spirit but in a more positive way. The result: my team is raving about me and the other teams we work with, too." Unsolicited e-mail
from a coachee to her coach, Jo Ann Ross
-
- "GROVEWELL LLC has an excellent coaching staff for executive situations! I lead a global organization with many diverse cultures, skill sets, and personalities, which without proper guidance can result in a less valuable end product. Through the coaching offered by Kathy Molloy of GROVEWELL, I further developed my skills, style, and approach to better lead my organization, harness the true cultural power of the group, and provide best-in-class deliverables." Suzanne K. Brown,

- "One thing that has been of immense value to me has been the coaching that has been provided through the International Development Program. It is GROVEWELL, in particular, that I wish to focus on in this email. I had never had any experience with a coach beforehand and, like many misinformed individuals, I believed [coaching was] a waste of time! My view today couldn’t be more different. Jo Ann Ross's assistance in helping me shape my views and change behaviours has been invaluable and has helped me address issues that could have plagued my career for years!" Anthony
Doyle, e-mail to the head of the International Development Program

I have received positive feedback on my growth as a leader from many people in my direct working environment, as well as my peers and senior management. All see a more considerate, balanced, and constructive leader, with a high level of commitment and energy to get the right things done in the right way. Kathy has provided challenge, focus, and increased my understanding of human interactions. She has provided the 'smack' as well as the support I needed." Geert Kolvenbag, M.D.,

- "My coaching experiences with GROVEWELL (pre-assignment, in-country, and post-return) were extremely valuable to me both personally and professionally. I gained a greater understanding of myself and how to communicate most effectively for a successful adaptation in my host country. My foreign colleagues even commented on my cultural sensitivity! Now that I am home, my coach, Jo Ann Ross, has been instrumental in helping me reacclimate to home and my new role. She has provided me with insightful coaching that is helping me leverage my personal strengths and expand my leadership role within the company. My thinking is continuously broadened with each session, and I feel forever enriched for greater successes in life. I would highly recommend GROVEWELL to others."

- "[Jo Ann Ross's] balance of personal connection (genuine caring) and helping to identify and unlock the personal motivation and sense of purpose behind the performance of an individual was powerful. She also made much appreciated efforts to connect her coaching support to my learning and development function, sending relevant resources, articles, etc., and asking very relevant questions re my unit. It was such a positive overall experience for me, I was just left hungry for more...." Excerpts from a coachee's
response on our Coaching Evaluation Form

- "The coaching was very, very helpful. Marie-Pascale Martorell helped me to become a more self-aware and self-conscious person. Marie-Pascale is amazing. She was able to find exactly the right techniques and ways to clearly and fast get me to realize things. Her professionalism and good heart were really doing magic for me. She had understanding and practical knowledge of the insides of organizations, not just a theory that a book advises. Thank you. It has been an honor working with Marie-Pascale and it has been a very enriching experience." Anastasiya Leonenko,

from a coachee to her coach
-
- "Thank you for a fantastic [repatriation coaching] session. As you know, I had questions about the core value of our anticipated session, especially given the current craziness of our life right now, but you more than delivered on your promise. You were an absolute delight to meet and work with, and the insights we developed together will stay with me for a very long time (I expect forever). I am currently in Japan and excited about applying some of our go-forward actions toward greater success and more importantly greater joy both personally and professionally. "Thank you again for all you did last week and I very much hope we can speak again in the future and follow-up."- Andre Papillon, unsolicited

- "This [coaching session] isn't just about my adaptation. This workshop is about optimizing my assignment!" Spontaneous comment
of a coachee during a session

- "Last Monday I had my coaching session with Helena Baronheid and I was very impressed about the session. Helena has a vast experience and deep knowledge about cultural values/differences as well as cross-cultural management. Her ability in understanding my experience and the circumstances I am facing was outstanding and was critical to support the development of our session/future action plan. The session also supported me having several insights about cultural misunderstandings that will support me in achieving better results in my new role. I strongly recommend having Helena as a coach...."- Ricardo Itapema C.

During the conversation he shared with me the learning he got from his coach when still in his previous company, Johnson & Johnson, as a participant in the International Development Program. His eyes were happy and voice proud when he was talking about the experience. As the world is small I know that it had to be a GROVEWELL coach who had such an impact!"
