comments about Peggy's Coaching |
|
“My
work with you, Peggy, focused my plans for
retirement and led me to consider avenues
into the arts such as drawing and theater.
You have always been encouraging and provided
clear and concrete ideas for me in pursuing
my goals and valuable tools to help me when
I was feeling “stuck.” Peggy, you have
really opened my eyes to new possibilities
and you are fun to work with on this. I
have enjoyed my experience and I have encouraged
others to consider the coaching experience.”
“I really enjoyed working
with you on my retirement discovery/planning
process. Certainly the instruments and activities
were thought provoking. But what I found
to be most helpful was the time we spent
‘processing’ and exploring the
results of those activities to discover
the ‘fit’ for me. I found that
our discussions helped me clarify and bring
into focus what was in front of my nose
on the paper and what was floating around
in my head. As we talked – with your
gently nudging questions and sharing insights
- I found myself making connections between
what brought joy and satisfaction to me
in the past and what I can do to create
a way to bring joy and satisfaction to me
in my future. It was an exciting process.
I so appreciate your flexibility (not only
with scheduling), but in adapting your style
and approach to fit my learning/exploring
style. It made the process ever so much
more comfortable and productive - and it
was great fun too! Thank you for your time
and talent and especially for a great learning
experience.”
“Peggy Bonsee combines her coaching skill
and expertise with a sensitivity and insightfulness
that makes her an excellent coach. Peggy
provides a safe space for clients to be
open, thoughtful and confident during the
coaching process. When I was working with
Peggy as my mentor coach, she gave me the
“nudges” I needed to move forward
with my goals, providing support through
the process. Peggy also kept me mindful
of my core values which helped me to find
a balance between my career and personal
life. Her coaching techniques are top notch
and I highly recommend Peggy as a coach
and a mentor.”

What
people are saying who have attended
Peggy's
Presentations & Workshops |
|
“Peggy's
presentation was very positive and full of
wonderful encouragement for retirees or “soon
to be” retirees. Instead of viewing
retirement as the “end” –
Peggy presents it as a “new beginning”
– full of opportunities to pursue interests
that may have been dormant or impossible during
one’s career years. Retirement can be
the years to pursue all the “some day
I am going to do…” ideas one
pushes into the corner of the mind.”
“I am delighted to recommend Peggy Bonsee
as a speaker and workshop presenter. She is
always well prepared and her talks are solidly
grounded in both professional knowledge and
personal experience. Peggy is thoughtful about
making her talks interactive and she always
offers specific tools that attendees can take
and use immediately. If you are looking for
a solid, engaging and enthusiastic presenter,
you'll be delighted with Peggy. She has a
great deal to offer, and she's capable of
creating just the right presentation for her
audience's needs.”
“Peggy has the ability to hold her audience
in the palm of her hand while she teaches
in a very clear, communicative way. It is
a pleasure to be in her workshop.”

The ReCareer Success Inventory consists of
three main clusters of core competencies vital
to ReCareer transition success.
The first cluster focuses on the
personal assessment competencies to help
the client get a better idea of their personal
preparedness with respect to identity;
assessment of their interests,
strengths and skills; transition hardiness;
views of success, and their perspective on
setting goals and making decisions.
The next cluster is concerned with
inner
competencies important for engaging in the
ReCareer process such as calm, confidence,
maturation vitality, aspirations, leisure
life, and positive mental attitude.
The final cluster addresses overall
search
planning and action skills such as making
a plan for the search, creating resumes and
cover letters, managing time, interviewing and
assertive communication skills. By taking this
inventory, the client can get a snapshot of
where he or she stands and where they need to
focus to insure greater success.
