EXECUTIVE COACHING GROUP
The ECG Team
“I found Herma to be keenly interested in my concerns and quick to grasp the issues that seemed to be hindering my career progress (some of which I hadn’t even sensed), and she accomplished all of this through an interesting process she calls ‘transformation.’”
“Two years ago I took a workshop called Mission Control that changed my life. When I completed this workshop I left stress behind. The course leader Herma is fabulous.”
“Being coached by Herma Schmitz was a life-changing event for me. She helped me push past obstacles and find my personal power, so that I could live my life confidently and with integrity. …. Herma is an amazingly effective coach.”
“Herma has a very unique and powerful executive coaching style. It challenges the executive and opens their minds to new possibilities. It was an extremely positive experience for me, one that will help my career and personal life for years ahead. I highly recommend her.”
“Herma guided us through a three-month Breakthrough Leadership Program which completed issues from the past and formulated us as a powerful team …. After a six-week period, beyond anybody’s expectations, we produced results with our laser technology that had not been possible in the previous 18 months.”
“The results exceeded our expectations. We can highly recommend your methodology to any organization that needs to be impacted immediately.”
