Paula Black focuses on my happiness and me as an individual. She reminds me that other people’s successes and dreams are not necessarily my own, so she doesn’t push me to go down a track she knows won’t give me satisfaction.

Paula encourages me by reminding me what I already have and what I have already done. That makes her encouragement credible—it’s fact-based. And she keeps it simple. She breaks seemingly impossible tasks down to the manageable.”

I give much of the credit for not only the growth, but the existence of my business, to Paula Black. I engaged her before I started my own firm. Her insight and guidance gave me the confidence and the skills to venture out on my own.

Paula has coached me through the ever-changing world of fortune 500 corporate America. By getting to know me on both a personal and professional level, she has helped me find what’s important to me and what brings me joy. Then we developed a methodology to incorporate those things into everything I do inside and outside the office.

Whatever I’m facing, Paula helps me break down the issues, work through the options and more often than not get out of my own way. Through her coaching, I have learned to be a kinder advocate for myself giving me the confidence to leave that large corporation and start my second act in my own independent practice.

Our journey will continue as I build a business that is a reflection of how I am helping others live their best life through thoughtful financial guidance.
