Read what participants of the School of Shadow Coaching Training have said:
"The day after Donna’s training I offered myself as a shadow coach to a high ranking Federal executive. He understood the value of the shadow process right away. He said that he could see the depth of the relationship that was possible and he was relieved to have a partner during a time of major organizational change. I am so glad that I didn’t offer the same old once a week coaching model. From now on, I will only use the old model if someone insists. Thanks Donna”. - Peter Sherer, Senior Partner - ExperienceMatters: Washington D.C. www.expmatters.com

"Since my formal coach training, I make it a point to do at least one or two programs a year to further develop my coaching competencies. Of the programs I have participated in over the past few years, I found this to be one of the best. While the subject matter and content is excellent, Donna Karlin is clearly one of the best instructors I've had the opportunity to learn from. Donna is exceptional in meeting the needs of her students and kept me 100% engaged during the entire program. I look forward to continue my learning under her instruction." - Lou Chrostowski, Rhode Island, www.karlinsloan.com
"The Shadow Coaching Training provided a tremendously powerful coaching tool/skill set that will prove quite valuable in today's "do more with less" environment that clients are demanding. It is also a versatile asset for longer term coaching engagements. Thanks Donna for bringing this cutting-edge training to me. I know it will benefit my clients!" - Sally Harrision, Metro New York, www.brandywinemconsultants.com
"Donna Karlin is a very knowledge and credible resource for shadow coaching. Her workshop was fast paced and engaging and you walk away with a plethura of resources that support the classroom learning. Donna has mastered the art of the question and helps you do the same!" - Janine Schindler, MCC, New York City, www.jascoaching.com
"Donna, I wanted to thank you so much for the Shadow Coaching program I recently completed with you in Toronto. While I consider myself an experienced coach, you opened up conversations and possibilities for engagement, learning and action that were refreshingly new and rich. Fun, practical and powerful – what a combination of experiences for my learning path! It will take time and practice for me to become proficient with these new mindsets, distinctions and ways of operating. I already know the return on investment and value will be tremendous for my clients and the fulfillment of their commitments. Again, thank you for developing, modeling and being what shadow coaching can offer the world. It’s a great gift. With appreciation," - John Lazar, MA, MCC, NCOC President, John B.

"I have just spent two, mind-expanding, heart-opening days in
Donna Karlin’s School of Shadow Coaching. Donna teaches, and
demonstrates no-nonsense, straight to the heart-of-the-matter coaching
on what you and your clients need to know to move forward to the
destination of your choice. She listens deeply, intently, with immense
curiosity and caring, literally on the edge of her seat, leaning
forward, to absorb every nuance in her client’s or student’s speech,
body language, and spirit. Donna is witty, wise, bold, brilliant... and
fun! She is also joyous in the sharing of her skills. If I have
absorbed one-tenth of what she offers in her being, and the coaching
language and techniques she teaches, I will be beyond grateful." -
Marcia Dorfman, MSOD, CPCC, PCC
"What an experience! Donna Karlin has the ability to
synthesize what appear to be complex concepts and reduce them to basic
“user friendly” elements, and the gift of being able to present them in
an understandable way. I completed the two-day Shadow Coaching
program with more “tips and tools” than I could have anticipated.
What I learned from Donna in two days has already made a significant
difference in my life and my coaching!
Donna’s energy level, joy and awareness of possibilities is an embodiment of her course (or is it the reverse? ). It is a validation of compassion and efficient coaching and I grew through it. Merci. - Sylvie Labelle, MBA, PHD, ACC, PPCC, C.F.I. SYLLAB Inc & Associates, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, http://www.syllab.ca/en/page009.html
"This was a completely engaging session. Shadow Coaching can be very powerful it is "fast forwarding" the coaching process for immediate results." - Sara Thompson, Toronto, ON.; www.sarathompson.ca
“Learning Donna’s
Shadow Coaching technique has made me aware of what differentiates a
coach from a Master Coach. Recognizing the essence of the conversation
with a client and understanding how to ask the question that will
illuminate exactly what they need to focus on in the moment is what
Shadow Coaching™ training provided me with. As a Team Development Coach,
I am confident that these skills will be most valuable as I coach
clients toward enhancing their team dynamics.” - Manon Dulude, MPS, PCC,

“This is a course
you won’t want to miss! Donna Karlin brings wit, wisdom, skills and

“The Shadow
Coaching workshop was an excellent learning experience. First of all,
Donna Karlin's energy, enthusiasm and engagement is inspiring. And
secondly, the content and delivery is very 'practical' - I can use it
right now. The material and approach have been quickly absorbed and
integrated into my coaching style. The demonstration of stepping into a
client's life with the individual and partnering thru the process in a
practical manner reassured me that getting to the heart of the matter in
a 'laser' manner is at times, the best way to support a client and move
forward.” – Anna Di Pede, Toronto, ON.,

style. This means the world to me". - Wanda Taylor, MCC: Pensacola,
