What past & present clients have to say about Judy Levy, MCC

Executive & Leadership Coaching

I hired Judy to support my professional development.

I grew to appreciate our conversations as an opportunity to consider business issues in a different light or think about outcomes that I normally wouldn’t. She helped me make changes which were difficult and drew on her vast ‘tool kit’ to provide processes, resources and approaches to support the changes I was seeking. Throughout the whole process, Judy was energized and truly cared about me and the impact I have in my organization. I strongly recommend Judy for executive coaching. — Stephen Skurnac, Chief Development Officer, Sims Metal Management

Our entire office has benefited from the coaching that has allowed me to expand my leadership skills.

I have also been able to relay what I have learned to other leaders, and work with my direct boss to be held accountable to my self-improvement.  Judy was very thoughtful, challenging and extremely thought-provoking. I can attribute much of my recent success and development to her.

— Ryan C., Senior Director, Operations

I appreciated Judy’s knowledge and experience.

She was empathetic and took the time to have me articulate our current challenges, so we could apply the coaching methods to them. I most appreciate the times when she challenged my approach and beliefs. Those were the moments of maximum growth. This made our sessions provide immediate value to me and our teams and we could evaluate the outcomes and tweak the approach is subsequent sessions. In particular, I appreciated Judy’s insights on managing team stress, through the Covid-19 period. I continue to use her techniques and guidance. It was a pleasure working with Judy. — M. L., VP Product

I loved Judy from the moment we met.

She listens to me well and is a gifted communicator and guide.  She took the time to learn the names of the people I worked with and I could tell she had reviewed her notes before we met, so she was on top of my issues and conflicts.  We really connected and I have asked to continue working with her as I really valued her support of my growth and learning. I have learned new skills and use strategies when working with difficult co-workers. Judy helped coach me through a few tough conversations and now I feel much better about how to deal with feedback.  She understands me and values me and I appreciate her fabulous coaching. — Kasha D. Vice Principal, Education, Canada

Judy was very helpful in helping me to manage myself, and the team, through some pretty difficult times.

I am better able to preserve perspective and to use strategies to help improve my best self – I’m using this in the workplace and at home.   Thanks again for thinking of me, and for bringing me a few steps closer toward the person that I want to (need to) be. — Cory W. SVP, BioTechnology

Judy Levy’s coaching has allowed me to fully transition from my previous role to my current role.

It has also allowed me to prioritize in times of uncertainty (COVID) and help my teams through their uncertainty. I now have a clear view of the areas I need to work on as a leader and have a very useful awareness of practical applications from Judy’s session to preparation for direct remote interactions with the teams. — Luis C, Global Director, Consumer Goods , London

Judy did a great job of actively listening and helping me hone in on the key behaviors I needed to focus on and improve most.

Even when I was initially unclear of the direction I wanted to take. She was patient and very good at stretching me a bit beyond my current comfort zone to find ways to grow and develop into a better leader. I have enthusiastically endorsed the process to colleagues. — Robert R.  VP, Consumer Goods, TX

Very positive and encouraging coaching approach.

Really drove me to think about what I was doing to improve and think through / express exactly why it was important to me. She was invested in my future throughout the experience. — Jon S, Global Product Director, Wisconsin

Judy was very helpful to this process – deliberate and articulate in her thinking, questioning, and guidance.

She was able to make observations clear, goals practical, and feedback logical. By doing these things, she was able to help me articulate clear methods and applications for my team.  In turn, we were able to build better bridges and drive engagement from our stakeholders resulting in improved service quality. — Chris C., Global Lead, Technology

My coach (Judy) was a great partner to share challenges and run ideas by.

It was calming and uplifting.  Double thumbs up. — R. B. SVP technology, SF CA

Working with Judy has, and will continue to make me a better, more confident, and more authentic leader.

I have tools and clarity on barriers/issues.  I’ve learned and grown so much.  Coach has been absolutely amazing experience.  The coaching has been on both professional and personal level – life-changing. Coaching helped me find my best self. — Jenni M., HR Director, Wisconsin

I enjoyed every session.

It was like chatting with an old friend. Her listening skills are on point. I tend to ramble and think of many thoughts in one sitting and somehow she is able to listen, organize it and challenge me in areas to think about things through a different lens. Given the chaos of Covid, her coaching allowed me a space to be grounded and think through issues and strategies in a safe space. — Brandyn V, Principal, Education, Canada

Judy was extremely thorough and thoughtful.

I learned more about myself through this process than I ever imagined I would! The coaching equipped me to better manage and understand my leadership style and has absolutely had an impact on my ability to set a clear direction for my team and make our organization more productive/efficient. I’ve learned more about who I am as a leader and a person, what makes me tick, and what I need to do to stay healthy and effective. I’ve already started applying the learnings and have seen a tangible impact in my daily work (and life)! — H. R. VP, Operations

Team Coaching

I want to give my wholehearted endorsement to the work of Judy Levy and her team.  

At the beginning of their engagement, our team suffered from burnout and had difficulties communicating and collaborating.

As a result of their work with us, our Team experienced dramatic improvements.  After our first two-day workshop, communication and collaboration improved and continue to improve and deepen with each Team workshop.

— Steve A.,  General Manager, SF Bay Area

I enthusiastically endorse Judy Levy and her work. 

I’ve worked with her on a number of occasions and have always been extremely impressed with her ability to create dynamic, innovative and effective workshops.  At all times, she was always very responsive, professional and kept a keen eye on what was necessary to meet our objectives. 

Most recently I brought her in to help shift my 35-member team to one that is more aligned and better able to use conflict productively. Since then, the team has continued to use the concepts in their daily interactions. I strongly recommend Judy and her team; they do great work.

— Dr. Maurice Ghysels, Superintendent, MV-Whisman School District, Mountain View, CA

We’ve brought Judy in to help our non-profit organization a number of times over the past few years.

Each time, Judy has worked with us to create leadership retreats and programs that meet our needs in an interactive and lively way.  

She brings insight, perspective, creativity, humor and a great deal of passion to her work.

— Kammy L., President, Education. SF Bay Area
