Testimonials
Keri is not only a charismatic HR leader, but also an excellent coach and mentor. She is a strategic thinker and brings out the strengths of others using a collaborative approach. I value her knowledge, guidance and partnership and her professional, yet very approachable style. She recognizes the talents and strengths that everyone has, and is committed to their personal and professional development. Her ability to talk and coach me through difficult decisions has been very valuable.
Keri at Apex Consulting is a great coach. In the sessions I have had with her, we tackled areas that I wanted to focus on and grow in related to my professional career. She actively listens, provides prompts to get me thinking about the topic in different ways, and offers professional advice and suggestions throughout the call. We have discussed topics from direct reporting relationships to productive annual reviews to public speaking hurdles. I appreciate the “homework” at the end of each call for actions to take regarding the topic. It keeps me thinking about the ideas long after the call has ended. Keri also holds me accountable to follow through since we begin the next call with an update on how those action items ended up. I have really enjoyed my coaching sessions with Keri.”
Coaching with Keri has brought so much value both professionally and personally. I’ll try to summarize a few of her strengths as a coach. Keri is a patient and attentive listener. I always feel that I have her full attention, and I know that I’m her priority during our sessions. Her style makes me feel cared for and safe, and not rushed or judged. She is very mentally organized, and has a nice way of holding the structure and process of our sessions so I stay focused, while also employing a gentle yet direct way of checking if we need to change our focus. Keri is easy to relate to as a mother and small business owner. Additionally, she has a great sense of humor which helps lighten the mental heaviness of some challenging situations.
Keri is a very skilled and insightful coach. Her questions cause me to expand my imagination and broaden my thoughts on the issues that I bring to our sessions. Keri has a unique ability to ask questions without making me feel threatened – Her questions cause me to be more honest with myself in what I want! I come away from our calls so much clearer about my deep desires. I attribute this to a “shift” she helps create by deepening the conversation beyond the “what” of the situation to the “who” I am as a person and professional. Keri’s confident leadership in the coaching process allows me to fully engage my mind and heart in the topic at hand. She allows me to trust the process, so I never feel self-conscious or distracted during our calls. She also has a great way of encouraging action steps as a result of our conversation – I rarely leave our call without a plan.
When I approached Keri about Career Coaching, she helped me to focus specifically on my strengths and interests to help me determine that it was time to look for other opportunities that more appropriately met my desire for challenge and managerial impact. I attribute my confidence throughout the recruiting and interviewing process to my time spent with Keri and her encouraging and focused guidance. I highly recommend Keri to anyone looking to make a change or even just questioning where they are in their career path and looking to discuss options!
Keri is an exceptional career coach and mentor. She had a way of helping me tap into the right thought and perspective to achieve clarity with my career pivot.

She does all this with compassion and connection. You feel like you are talking with an old friend who sincerely cares about your career.

I really appreciated her ability and willingness to ask questions which dug deep into my accomplishments – trying to bring out the meaningful and noteworthy.

Keri made me feel accountable for my success in the process, whether it was reading a book, drafting my resume or putting together a presentation. I wanted to show up at the coaching sessions prepared. In addition, I also appreciate that she is always keen to recommend books and tools which match my situation.
