“’I LOVE COACHING!’ says me every time I finish a session. Now that I have had many opportunities to be both coach and client, I am so grateful for the format, philosophy, and skills of coaching. It is always an uplifting, encouraging and empowering experience. Coaching connects us with our hearts and helps us move forward, acting on what our hearts have to teach us, so we can become our richest, fullest and happiest selves!” -Lesli Pennock, HCI graduate
