I will never forget the Curse of Me, BARS, SMART, CARS, CAR-AR, and the many other templates and concepts you provided us with in training-combined; these are worth more than their weight in GOLD!

Coaching testimonials

(Coaching client references are available)

  • J. Lenora has helped bring positive change in how I lead.  Through candid conversations we have confronted habits I had developed that were limiting my ability to be the leader my organization needs.  Through the tools and strategies we have discussed, I feel I am more decisive and less reactive.  I am spending more time on the things that are genuinely important and less time on those things that seem urgent in the moment.  Before J. Lenora became my coach, the way I was going about my job was adversely affecting my health and some of my important relationships.  I now understand myself better and am taking better care of myself and my relationships with others.
  • “Starting as a new executive was both exhilarating and challenging. While I was confident in my abilities, the transition to leading a team required a unique set of skills that I knew I needed to hone. That's where my executive coaching experience with J. Lenora Bresler came into play, and it truly made a positive difference. I am deeply grateful for the guidance and support she provided, which has been instrumental in my professional growth.
  • Under the guidance of my J. Lenora, I embarked on a transformative journey that equipped me with the tools and insights needed to navigate the complexities of leadership with confidence. One of the most valuable lessons I learned was the art of delegation. She helped me understand that as a leader, I couldn't do it all alone, and delegating tasks effectively was key to not only lightening my load but also empowering my team members to excel in their respective roles. I learned to identify each team member's strengths and leverage them to achieve our collective goals, fostering a culture of collaboration and trust along the way.
  • Moreover, she guided me through the intricacies of team management, teaching me how to inspire, motivate, and guide my team toward success. From conducting productive meetings to resolving conflicts with tact and diplomacy, I gained a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to lead with empathy and integrity. Thanks to the invaluable insights and support provided, I not only transitioned smoothly into my role as a new executive but also exceeded my expectations as a leader.” 
  • “I hope I was able to express how thankful I was to have you impact of dose of your vast wisdom in me last week. While I have never before had the privilege of having a business coach or a life coach . . . , I’d hope they would be a lot like you. . . . Again, thanks for your willingness to pass along to others some of your great life lessons and techniques for success.”
  • “I have experienced so many ah-ha moments from your coaching.”
  • “You have opened my eyes.”
