"Best investment I have made in obtaining PM PDUs" PDF Print E-mail

teresa-burgess"As a project manager, I always looked for the most cost effective and painless way to earn PDUs, mostly focusing on growing my knowledge of project management. I've done on-line courses, attended seminars, read books, networked with other professionals--all the standard rituals. All these had a level of value in growing my project management knowledge and some seminars really focused on growing soft skills.

When Traci presented the program on neuro-axiology to our chapter meeting attendees, I was challenged to consider that greater project management knowledge and experience was "not enough" for me to reach the level of success to which I aspire. I was tired of the PDU standard venues and decided to try something new.

All I can say is "WOW!" That person on the team who drove me over the edge - thecoaching gave me the tools to solve. The beating my head against the wall because nobody would give the project the same priority - the coaching gave me the tools to solve. Those roadblocks that occur again and again in my projects - the  coaching gave me the tools to solve. I had an ah-ha! every session. Like project management, this process is not for the faint of heart. It demands courage, boldness, decisiveness, curiosity and a commitment to be the best "me." It was the best investment I have made in obtaining PM PDUs. I plan to go through it again and I can't say that about any sources for PM PDUs I've attended to this point!"

"Enhanced My Life Beyond Words" PDF Print E-mail

I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking for a better understanding of how your mind works. This program taught me how my mind processes each situation, defining my strengths and weaknesses; focusing on both the external and internal dialogs of each "advisor".

The coaching sessions are exceptional! Being able to review real-life situations with my coach added exceptional value to the entire process. The recommendation to take the full 14 week program came from my boss, I was having an extremely difficult time at work, dealing with the death of a close friend and co-work. I was a complete mess. Missing work. Feeling as if everything I did, both at work and in my personal life, added zero value to those around me. I was at the very lowest point in my life/career, running around in circles without any real purpose.

When I first took the assessment and saw the results, I was floored. I couldn't see how someone, who didn't know me, would be able to work through this mess in just 14 weeks! To my very pleasant surprise, the 6 Advisor program and my very wonderful coach helped me sort through it all. There was even a time during the 14 weeks that I started to reschedule and/or miss my coaching sessions, (Of course I had completely valid reasons at the time). Thank goodness my coach was persistent in getting me back on track because I realized later on that my "valid reasons" at the time were really just excuses my out-of-balanced advisors were feeding me - and I was excepting! It had been really easy for me to just pick up a "self-help" book, read a couple of chapters when I was feeling bad about life,my career or whatever it may be at the time, be instantly lifted up; telling myself that I'm a good person, writing affirmations and reading them at set times during the day.....etc, etc. But then something happens and I would be right back at the starting line, or worse, I would find myself sitting on the bench!

The coaching sessions work! I have since learned, not just "what" to think.....but HOW-TO think. Recognizing the thoughts that are coming from an out-of-balanced advisor and replacing them with thoughts that add more value to my life. I've learned to listen for the "doors" in conversations with family and co-workers without taking their "story" personally or trying, in some way, to fix it or them. This tool alone has enhanced my life beyond words. I can truly say that after completing this program, I feel better! I feel like I have purpose again. Seeing things from a completely new level. There are times when I hear from my out-of-balanced advisors.....but the difference now is.....I am at the head of the boardroom table! I recognize now which advise (thought) adds value to Life.....inside and out. I've learned to remember to find the joy in the journey..... Thank you "Coach Traci"!

"A Rare Gem" PDF Print E-mail

marcy-mcqueen"Traci is an excellent coach and mentor. She is a very good listener and finds extremely creative ways of getting you to look at challenges from different angles. She's not afraid of using personal examples to get you to see things from another perspective, which I find helpful. I have worked through the 6 Advisors Coaching Practicum with Traci now (twice!!!) and would highly recommend her as a coach. The Practicum and specifically Traci's coaching and mentoring have provided me with skills and lessons that I will use in my personal and professional interactions for the rest of my life. Her advice is on-point and of the highest integrity, which is sometimes hard to find in this day & age. Traci is a rare gem."

Marcy McQueen, Director, Perficient, Houston, TX

 
"One of the greatest things I have ever done" PDF Print E-mail

"This was one of the greatest things I have ever done. This taught me to take time to make time. I loved my coach - what a great listener and insightful person! This whole process has been great and very eye opening. I never thought that putting a few comments in order could tell me so much about why I think what I think, and then learning how to harness ALL of my Advisors for my benefit. Thanks again!"

Cindy Rao, Houston, TX

"I've been through many leadership development programs through college and throughout my job experience. I remember very little of this training because of the content and structure. I went through Traci's program over a year ago and still use and refer to many of the principles that she taught through the 6 Advisors program. I highly recommend this program if you are looking for long-lasting, practical results."

Ashwin Advani, Director, Perficient, Houston, TX

"An Effective Approach to Professional Coaching" PDF Print E-mail

"I decided to start coaching with Traci because at the middle of my career, I felt that I was stuck in a rut. I have worked with other coaches in the past with some degree of success; in working with Traci, she will ask questions I would have never thought to ask myself to see what is really happening in my life, and provides practical advice so I can make changes. I love working with Traci!"

James Barrett, PMP, Houston, TX
