She helped me become uncomfortable and push myself to limits I didn't know existed
Prior to working with Lona I struggled with lack of self-confidence. Did I fit in? Was I good enough? Was I cute enough? All these loops and thoughts played in my mind. By the end of ‘Leaders for Life', I realized I was good enough, I was pretty enough, and enough in general. That week changed my perspective on life, and I realized that I can accomplish anything that I set my mind to. Lona helped me become uncomfortable and push myself to limits that I didn’t know existed. This has shaped me into the woman that I am today. I have gone through years of adversity, everybody does, but trusting the process, maintaining a positive attitude, being grateful and embracing the journey have helped me overcome huge challenges in my life. MINDSET! Be a leader, maintain values and morals, be a good person, and things will fall into place.
Professional Hockey Player PWHPA, Chelsea GoldbergThat Moment Changed My Entire Perspective on Leading People
I had the pleasure of working with Lona over the course of several years. Lona has the highest level of emotional intelligence and integrity; she practices what she preaches. I will never forget one particular session. By listening with compassion, with one comment, Lona made connections that changed everything for me. That moment changed my entire perspective on leading people and how to show up. She was amazing! Lona’s genuine spirit and expertise has taught me how to listen to more than just the words and connect the whole story of a person to build strong and meaningful relationships. I’ve carried that with me as I continue to lead and develop my teams today.
Heidi, Director of Community RelationsDirect and Honest Feedback, Her Uncanny Ability to Reach Our Pro Players in Her 1:1 Sessions
I have worked with Lona on numerous occasions – she has always impressed me with her detail, innovation, enthusiasm. Lona's direct and honest feedback to our staff, and her uncanny ability to reach our pro players in her 1-1 sessions was vital to our achievements. Lona had a natural ability to meet the staff and players where they were at mentally and emotionally, she left each person feeling good about themselves and the role they were expected to play; this was invaluable. Lona’s education in psychology paired with her military experience allows her to motivate and influence with ease. She is highly respected as a person here, and coach.
Tom Rowe, Florida Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes, Portland Pirates, San Antonio Rampage,Her Ability to Connect and Align the Individual, the Team and the Organization
I was most fortunate to work with Lona over 3 separate seasons, with 3 different teams. Lona and her team had the ability to come in with a plan and then after experiencing first-hand the many components of the team/organization, continue to develop that plan to enhance the overall experience. The most impressive thing about working with Lona was her ability to connect and align the individual, the team and the organization. The positive impact of her intervention and her first-rate contributions lead to our team’s success!! I can't say enough about the impact Lona had on my players the organization and myself!

There are people that you meet in in life that truly change how you live your life, react and handle situations, and help you to just become a better human. Lona is one of them. I am so thankful to her for always being the voice inside my head.
Casey, USATell Her Your Dreams, She Will Help You Get There
When I started working with Lona I was feeling personally and professionally lost and unsure how to move forward. Lona gave me the tools and exercises to resolve every issue I had been facing; Lona helped me to understand why I was feeling the way I had, and how to fix it moving forward. I can now confidently face any personal and professional decision that may come my way. Lona is an honest, thoughtful, and generous teacher that is always cheering you on and challenging you to do things that didn’t seem attainable before. Tell her the dreams you’ve never said out loud - share your aspirations - and she will help you take the leap to get there.
Bre, USAI'm Forever Indebted to Lona
I wish I had done this sooner in my career. From the first conversation with Lona, it was clear she was different. She has an innate ability to listen and understand what I was hoping to achieve. Her sincere and transparent approach was what put me at ease to open up and be pushed. I was able to gain clarity on multiple aspects of my work/personal life, which helped me tackle challenges at work and home. I'm forever indebted to Lona and would 100% recommend that anyone looking to grow as a person, colleague, and leader should consider working with her.
