“I feel unstuck for the first time in years and I cannot begin to describe how liberating and empowering it feels.

I knew that in order to take the right next career step that would truly fulfill me, I needed something deeper and more introspective than a coach who would project manage my job search. I wanted to leave with exposure to new ideas and new ways of thinking about leadership, and clarity about how I can pursue my calling through my career.

The questions I explored in coaching made me dig deep to understand and then question some of the constructs I had built my life and career upon, which was, at times, uncomfortable and scary. But it also made the outputs that much more valuable, because it caused me to reevaluate what I needed to build a life of fulfillment going forward.

I felt safe, seen, and held while being asked to consider alternative and agitating new perspectives. I had space to explore my discomfort and then Alexis guided me, with agility, towards reconstructing my self-defined purpose.  

I gained so much from Alexis’ unique ability to tune into both deep emotional fulfillment and achieving concrete goals in tandem.

I feel a huge shift in my mindset towards work and license to explore my goals with heart and soul and joy.”

Divya Raghavachari, Senior Manager and cofounder of the health equity practice at Accenture

It’s unique to find a coach that has start-up experience, fundraising chops and knows what it takes to scale an organization. As a founder, in the past I’ve worked with coaches who lack this experience and frankly it can be a waste of time if they don’t understand what the pressure is like. In the past, I’ve done everything for my organization, even if I was suffering. Working with Alexis, I reframed my leadership and understand that I can and should be working on things that energize me. Now I have clear priorities and a staff that I can delegate almost everything to. Despite COVID, 2020 was our best fundraising year yet and we’re accelerating the national expansion of our coding programs.

Jerelyn Rodriguez, co-founder and CEO of The Knowledge House

“Coaching was like having a friend and a partner during the scariest time of my career, while I was going through all of the emotions of starting something new that’s catching on, that can turn Kansas blue.

Coaching reminded me that this is my true calling. It gave me the skills to stay grounded throughout ups and downs. I learned how to resource myself.

I reflect back on myself and my work skills before I founded this organization and started coaching — and I no longer have those insecurities about my leadership. I trust my ideas and strategic decisions about how organizing should happen.

So many pieces of me have healed and I feel so connected to my home state. My work feels spiritually aligned — this was all meant to happen.”

Peyton Browning, founder and Executive Director of Prairie Roots

Coaching supported me to align my ambitious goals for my personal and professional life. This past year during the pandemic, I’ve closed millions of dollars in grants and investments, doubled my team, and moved, all while preparing to welcome my second child.  I’m more in touch with my own intuition and energy, and I’m using that knowledge as a powerful tool to make confident decisions. Working with Alexis helped me understand my strengths and work from them, and created the space for to reflect on and address recurring challenges. The visualization work we’ve done together created huge mindset breakthroughs for me. Alexis draws on her personal experiences as an entrepreneur, and she brings much needed empathy and support to the founder/CEO journey. 

Virginia Klausmeier, Founder and CEO of Sylvatex

In coaching, I tapped into my intuition, recognized when I’m limiting my own imagination and explored the possibilities beyond. I started envisioning different possibilities for my life and my career by following and trusting my own energy. Alexis is an incredible listener - she remembers details, senses emotions, picks up on what I’m carrying subconsciously, and makes them visible to me in a loving, caring, and empowering way. The space in coaching feels expansive, free and without judgment. If you are looking for someone to gently, but firmly, guide you in the direction of your goals — or goals that you didn't know that you had — Alexis can help.

Myra Gupta, Managing Director at Teach For America

Working with Alexis revolutionized the way I think about my future. I share all of my unfinished dreams, thoughts and worries in a judgement-free zone, then she pulls together the nuggets of knowledge or inspiration that I didn't hear in myself in an eloquent, seamless way. She challenges my ideas in a friendly way and encourages me to dig deeper into my own values and visions. I did not realize going into these sessions how much I would gain in such a short amount of time.

Coaching sessions provided a chance to step back and reflect on the impact a recent career shift had on my personal and professional life. Before I was pushing through without attending to my mental and physical well-being. It’s hard for me to be vulnerable and open up from my heart, but in coaching I feel the freedom of actually naming a problem and exploring it. Alexis pushed me to find solutions that made a direct impact on my work and well-being. Alexis sees all of you — she doesn’t just listen, she helps you dive deeper into your soul and address what you’ve been suppressing or avoiding in a way that feels safe, comforting, and solutions-oriented. It has been so valuable to have space to explore how my goals and challenges in my personal and professional life are intertwined. I left every single session energized to tackle everything we covered. I didn’t know I could grow so much, so quickly. I conquered something that I genuinely didn’t know that I could. I can’t recommend this enough.

Megan Gray, Director of Volunteer Engagement at One Love Foundation

Coaching has opened up so many doors for me – in my mind, in my career, and in my personal life. Alexis is warm and incisive. She’s a brilliant person with so much insight and she guides illuminating conversations. She encourages and challenges me, and I leave each session with new realizations and next steps I want to take. My daily life feels more fulfilling because coaching lets me identify and pursue the kinds of work and relationships that bring me energy and joy.
