I engaged Cora to help me sort through a number of personal and career issues I was struggling with.

I quickly developed a trust in her intuition. I felt comfortable sharing my real stuff — I had lost a son to suicide, and that brought a ton of guilt. Also, my career was not where I wanted it to be. I was working hard with poor results. We mapped out my priorities and some actions I could commit to.

Fast forward to about 18 months later and Cora called me and said, “you know you have everything you said you wanted”, and she was right! I did! However, the route I had taken to get there was entirely different.

For the past 3 years, I have had the best job, and I am grateful to women like Cora, who gave me a little push and helped me achieve some meaningful results in many areas of my life.

Our organization was facing financial pressures and demands.

Our organization was facing financial pressures and demands to produce outcomes in a complex and diverse environment. Due to tight operating dollars, our staff was struggling to deliver strategic priorities.

I found Cora to be an excellent listener and one who is able to explore the not so obvious aspects of why the situation is the way it is. She has a variety of tools that can help guide processes to achieve the results that leaders need.

Working with Cora has helped me set my own priorities, help our leadership team achieve theirs and work through the necessary steps to realize the changes we needed. It has also enabled me to see the potential obstacles that we may face and work through them.

I am much less anxious about aspects that I can’t actively control.

I have improved my ability to articulate a vision for success and am more patient with the constant course corrections that are needed to be successful.

She will take you to the next level.

Having just started a new job with a business goal, I reach out to Cora for Coaching.

Cora is an incredibly talented, natural coach. She has been instrumental in helping me keep my eyes on my goals. I felt empowered, enthusiastic, and fearless when I left my coaching sessions. Her uplifting, positive, and fun personality make her easy to open up to and she provides a very safe space to talk. She has not only been an amazing coach but a mentor.

I would highly recommend Cora as both a business and personal coach. She truly cares about you and believes in your abilities. I’m excited to see what my future holds. Thank you for being a part of my journey.

You offered me a safe place to land during a very painful period.

In 2010 my beloved husband of 35 years died shockingly and suddenly. The grieving process was arduous. I reached out to Cora for some guidance.

Cora’s kind and compassionate council offered me a soft place to land during a very painful period of coming to terms with this devastating loss.

We were able to work through life situations that were negatively affecting me.

You are very patient, understanding, and very intuitive to my situation and helped me move forward on my own path.

Introducing me to the Gene Path was very enlightening for me.

Thank you very much.

I feel confident in my choices.

After working with Cora, I determined the negative patterns, beliefs, and barriers that were preventing me from reaching my potential, and I could finally identify what I truly wanted in life. Because of Cora’s intuition and understanding, I was able to feel very secure while exploring very personal and emotional issues. She was always very understanding and never judgemental, making it very easy to talk about things that I wanted to work on.

I cannot describe how different my life has become since working with Cora. I have been able to open up a world of opportunities for myself and feel confident in my choices.

For both professional and personal matters, Cora has helped me to realize that we truly do create our own destiny and that we can overcome any obstacle.

I cannot thank Cora enough for her help and would recommend this type of work to anyone!

I highly recommend Cora’s coaching services.

I have known Cora for over a decade. When I met Cora I was in the throws of a major law suit for a brand new house my husband and I purchased that was structurally unsafe and ultimately condemned. After spending a fortune on legal bills I ended up having to be our own lawyer. I was up against 3 shark lawyers representing their insurance company clients. My husband had also been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and was raging unpredictably and so I was dealing with that as well. Stressed out is an understatement.

Cora stood by my side through this whole journey, coaching me on a daily basis as another roadblock appeared literally on a daily basis. At the beginning of our coaching sessions I was shaking, often crying, feeling hopeless, filled with rage. By the end of each session, I felt free, full of possibility, had made important decisions, and could move forward with peace and confidence in this unknown world of civil law.

Cora coaches from both sides of her brain. Her coaching is logical and tangible. She is also right-brain gifted and highly intuitive. I needed someone who could help me through the excessive details of my tangible world AND help me emotionally and spiritually understand the universal truth and why I was on this adverse journey.

I highly recommend her coaching services. She will aid you greatly in finding your way and meeting your goals and finding resolutions with difficult people and fulfilling your dreams!

I’m really pleased that this was a collaborative result.

We had a good day, some fun team building, great food, a bit of outdoors, and we collectively came up with our “Why.”

I can’t tell you how important this is, and I believe it’s going to have a positive impact on how we continue to shape our work moving forward.

I’m really pleased that this was a collaborative result.

Thanks to all including Cora, who did a great job facilitating our meeting!

I can be unstoppable.

Thank you Cora! You’ve taken OHEA a long way on this in one short week  – it was amazing! I especially appreciate your steady leadership, your quick turn-around, and your ability to make us stretch our thinking to crystallize a vision.

The previous strategic plan was led by someone else – not nearly as productive or energizing. You’ve been awesome to work with too!
