Working with Rosita has been truly transformative. She brings remarkable patience and warmth into every session, expertly summarizing my thoughts and emotions to help reveal fresh insights. Her keen observations not only highlight patterns I hadn’t noticed before but also create a safe space for deep reflection. Using thoughtful metaphors, she guides me toward creative solutions during challenging times. I’m deeply grateful for her steady support and the clarity she provides when I feel stuck.

Coachee
The six sessions I had with my ECC Coach changed my perspective of coaching. I was initially uncertain (and possibly sceptical) about the benefits of coaching but my coach read me very well and knew when to coax a response out from me by being encouraging and when to firmly push me to see the benefits of reframing some of my previously held positions.

I found my ECC coaching sessions incredibly valuable – for the unique and necessary space I was seeking as a sole proprietor to feel heard, understood and connected to a peer in business. My coaching experience provided a safe space where I could be the real me, and provided a relationship I could truly trust. Thank you ECC.
