In one word...Donna is "brilliant." She is a world class coach, with exceptional skills to bring out the very best in her clients. Her insight and wisdom, coupled with her boundless positive spirit make her a highly skilled coach. She was a tremendous support to FCG during its time of transition and great turmoil. We couldn't have made it through without her. If you need an executive coach with finely honed skills, who always asks the right questions, look no further than Donna

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

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.

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!

Donna opened up conversations and possibilities for engagement, learning and action that were refreshingly new and rich. 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.

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 through 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.

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.

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!
