Our Happy Clients
From the day she accepted my call and I had my first session, Self Care became real to me.
Through Necie's phenomenal Coaching style, she gave me some tools to coach myself by boosting my productivity through self-care.
Necie showed me how my own words spoke life that caused me to reconnect with myself; how to utilize self-care with grace and ease. I learned so much about "Me" in these 6 coaching sessions that I could go on and on!
If you feel stuck and/or disconnected with yourself, I highly recommend that you contact Necie Black at Lyfe Smarts Coaching; she is change agent. Don't waste another day being unaware of YOU!
Necie is remarkably able to identify and nurture individual strengths, largely thanks to her Clifton Strengths certification. She has an innate talent for helping team members recognize and leverage their unique capabilities for success. For example, my colleagues and I were tense about a work project. During the conflict, Necie was not only a great sounding board for everyone but also helped me see how I was relying too much on my responsibility and achiever strengths for the project, leaving me drained and not helping ease the tension, which was counterintuitive for my harmony strength.
Her passion for talent and leadership development shines through in every interaction. She makes even the most challenging projects achievable and demonstrates her commitment to her clients and team members' personal and professional growth.
If you're looking for someone who brings expertise and a personal touch to talent development, I wholeheartedly recommend Necie. You won't find a more dedicated leader!
