Testimonials
"Like with elite athletes, we have encouraged most of our CEO’s to engage a coach to become their most effective while also addressing their significant challenges (both personally & professionally). Molly brings a highly efficient mix of self assessment/insight/clarity, accountability and deep performance tools within a holistic & mindful framework. She’s the Wendy Rhoades of entrepreneurship!"
Matt McCall

"I can't recommend Molly strongly enough for executive coaching. Molly helps you see things from a different perspective and identify areas where a different approach might better enable you to achieve your goals. I always leave my sessions with Molly excited to try a new way of doing things - and always with great results. And, coaching with Molly is fun!"

"Molly has gone above and beyond with helping me develop from an early stage CEO to a stronger growth stage manager and has been crucial to the success of the business. She asks the right questions that push me to better myself and the business in the process. Over time, she’s expanded her impact - effectively working with other members of our leadership team, both on an as needed and recurring basis."
Richard Yau
CEO & Co-Founder, Bright Cellars
"As every founder knows, translating a vision into a growth stage business is a great journey and challenge. Molly immediately realized my ambition to take Vokal to another level which would require me to show up differently as CEO. Our partnership has delivered far beyond my expectations. Our work together has also helped me grow as a husband and father - not just as a CEO."
Reid Lappin
CEO, VOKAL

"Molly has a 1000% batting average. In all the years we have been working together no matter who I have put her in front of she's knocked it out of the park. Everytime, she works to the individual and team needs, identifies gaps and provides tools, resources and reflections that move us to win."

Paul Hersko
Founder, DiscountLots and PGH Industries
"I started working with Molly following a promotion during a time when I was feeling like I was hitting my goals and growing in my career. There were no issues to report on. Soon after starting to work with her I realized how many of my critical decisions and influence formed without awareness. Molly’s partnership brought a habitual self questioning, reflection and intention setting practice to my daily routine. Her questions enabled me to see areas where I needed to expand my toolkit and lead in ways I was not used to or comfortable in. I am a more confident and more impactful leader with her partnership and my teams are happier for it."
I. Metin

My business partner and I work with Molly both together as a team and individually, and because of Molly’s coaching we are thriving in our relationship to each other and in our leadership."

As a leader of a nonprofit organization, Molly has coached me to lead compassionately and with intentionality. She has provided our leadership team of directors with the tools, the framework and the skills to be curious, to gain clarity, to be pragmatic, and to always be intentional in their goals and decisions. Molly is a dynamic, thoughtful and supportive coach, and our team is stronger as a result of her dedicated support."
