I’m grateful to my company for connecting me with Eddie Turner as my Executive Coach for the past six months. Eddie helped me to stand a taller in my shoes, celebrate my worth, and make the bold move(s) that opened new doors for myself. “Nothing is worth doing if it doesn’t give you butterflies in your stomach” – Eddie taught me that. =) Thanks for pushing me, Eddie!

I had a pleasure to work with Eddie over the course of a few months and the meetings have been extremely helpful. Eddie’s inquiring style of guiding the conversation allowed me to continue to reflect on the key topics discussed long after the sessions were over. I also enjoyed actionable steps we walked through I could immediately act on and build upon in upcoming months. It has been a pleasure – and I hope to be able to pick up where we left off in some time.
