WHAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY....
"In a span of five months, Ouida had set up and implemented the many internal structures needed to keep our ministry going and growing. She taught us all the basics, managed all the changes, and brought so much hope and strength to our circle that every one of us was lifted up and empowered. I will be the first to say that I am a very passionate and at times headstrong woman, and Ouida was able to connect with me, earn my trust, and work with my ups and down and pushes and pulls with great grace and care and love... She helped to raise funds, worked seamlessly with our Board of Directors, and truly made Raising Sparks’ future possible." Rev. Ann Marie C., Co-Founder/Executive Director, Raising Sparks Interfaith Ministry, December 2022
"Ouida’s coaching creates the space and comfort to get to the heart of the questions that drive her client’s interest in career advancement...honoring the personality, individuality, and passion that you bring to your career. Working with Ouida at a moment in my own career where I wanted to redefine both my contribution to a work team and take on greater responsibilities, we used reflection activities, career searches, and practice interviews to define what was really driving my desire to change...Ouida helped me hone in on the specific changes I wanted to make: whether a change in work culture rather than field, or the relationship between passion at work versus pursuits outside of a job. These helped me identify and prioritize my next steps and ultimately to link with a work culture and role in the same field that satisfied what had been missing in my last role. But at the heart of each session is the value-driven and inquisitive core that brings you on this path in the first place...this process can grow your confidence in clarifying, naming, and then prioritizing those values in your search."
