For the Less Screens, More Life Program:
"My husband and I had established some boundaries around technology with our kids (ages 4 & 5) but we often found ourselves inconsistent and unsure of our approach. Working with Phoebe was transformative and went beyond just technology use. She offered guidance on improving our family routines, helping us create more opportunities for meaningful connections and quality time together. Phoebe's coaching also encouraged us to reassess my and my husband's own technology habits, leading to a clearer understanding of our family values regarding technology use. It has felt so freeing for both of us to now understand the weight our own technology use was bringing into our home and our relationships with our kids. This experience has profoundly improved our family connections and the overall vibe in our house. If you have any concerns about technology's impact on your family life or you just want to think about how you and your family can better work as a team, I highly recommend Phoebe's program. Her expertise has helped us develop healthy habits and set meaningful boundaries for our boys and for ourselves." - Megan, Chicago, IL (parent of two, ages 4 and 5)
"If you're losing the screen time battle and it's become a constant source of stress for you and your kids—but you’re not quite sure how to cut back and create more harmony at home—let Phoebe help you. She has the tools, the patience, and the wisdom to guide your family out of the rut and onto a more creative, harmonious path!" - Marc, Berkeley, CA (parent of 11 year old twins)
For Executive Coaching:
"I had the opportunity to work with Phoebe Vaughan during a three-month executive coaching engagement, and her guidance left a lasting impact on my approach to leadership, management, and personal growth. Phoebe brings a rare combination of deep insight, thoughtful listening, and practical strategies that are immediately applicable. Her coaching style is both supportive and challenging in the best possible way—she creates space for reflection while pushing you to stretch and grow. Through our work together, I gained greater clarity in my leadership style, developed new tools for navigating complex management situations, and walked away with a renewed sense of confidence and purpose. Phoebe's ability to ask the right questions and offer sharp, actionable advice truly elevated the experience. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to learn from Phoebe and would highly recommend her to any leader looking to deepen their impact and expand their potential." - Rodnell Workman, New York, NY
"Phoebe was an integral part in guiding me as my team grew by over 250% within a year. She helped me understand the concept of empowering leadership by using situational and diagnostic managerial tactics. She walked me through proper ways to train my team on giving feedback by guiding them to evolve into the leaders they want to be while encouraging them to step out of their comfort zone in order to have difficult yet productive conversations. Phoebe has changed my entire outlook on training and development. She worked with me through growing pains and structural changes and pushed me to be the best leader for my team that I could be. I genuinely looked forward to each call with Phoebe as I knew I would leave with new levels of knowledge and motivation. She is such a blessing to work with and has inspired me greatly. This recommendation does not justify how thankful I am to have worked with Phoebe over the course of 18 months. I look forward to continuing our professional relationship down the line." Jodi Farbish, Boynton Beach, FL
"Phoebe's expert and compassionate coaching was essential for me in navigating the most crazy-making phase yet in my personal and professional life. Her tools and encouragement helped me keep my chin up and my eyes forward at a time filled with ambiguity. I discovered that no matter how terrific a support system you may have, nothing compares to a focused coach. Phoebe's natural talent for listening, her practical outlook, and professional training make her a tremendous ally in managing life's surprises and complexity." - Margaret, New York, NY
"Phoebe supported me as an executive coach as I launched my marketing consulting firm Spectacled Marketer. When I was deciding to leave Google to pursue my MBA, Phoebe provided helpful advice and perspective that helped me work through the challenging transition back to academia. Phoebe was also a resource for me as I decided whether to pursue my own business as an entrepreneur or go back into corporate. Because of Phoebe's helpful advice and support I was able to work through the scary but exciting process of launching my own business while pursuing my MBA. She helped me to see the big picture and use the strength within that can often get buried beneath doubt and fear. She provided me with helpful tools to persevere through the hard times that can confront start up entrepreneurs. Honestly, hardly a day goes by that I don't rely on one of the tools that Phoebe taught me. I absolutely recommend working with Phoebe as a manager or executive coach! Thank you Phoebe!!!” - Tyrona Heath, New York, NY
"Phoebe listens attentively, understands what is being said, and often perceives the underlying emotion that is being felt. She then knows how to re-frame any concerns into positive self-talk and ultimately positive action. Phoebe is skilled and very talented in her ability to zero in on the needs of her clients: I think she is a natural at helping others learn and realize their talents and potential for personal and professional growth." - D.L. Marin County, CA
"I immediately felt comfortable talking to Phoebe; she's patient, attentive and encouraging and helped me feel comfortable with my own ambiguity and confident in the decisions I was making. I found my time with Phoebe productive and motivating and have already seen the positive impact of her suggestions and strategies." - Maureen, New York, NY
"Phoebe is amazing - I give her my strongest recommendation. She's patient and empathetic (like a close friend) and provides proactive and thoughtful recommendations (like a great coach.) Her business background is incredibly helpful as it allows her to closely relate to workplace issues. She provides invaluable advice and insights as to how to lead a productive and happy life, but ensures that you remain true to your personal values. Everyone could use a coach like Phoebe!" - M.S., New York, NY
"Phoebe has been an amazing resource and a tremendous help to me during my most challenging phase of my career. She has a knack for listening intently and gently guiding the conversation into a very constructive and actionable phase. Phoebe will probe with questions, ideas or homework which seem uncomfortable or 'common sensical' at the moment, however when you answer them or work on the acts between sessions, it very quickly becomes apparent how important and monumental these asks are. I'm in a much better space than when I started to work with Phoebe and look forward to our time together as an opportunity to explore what's going on or to even dig a little deeper into long-standing habits or approaches which may need attention. I find Phoebe warm, dedicated, without judgement all while being extraordinarily motivating and delivering noticeable impact. I was not sure what to expect when we began working together, but I'm thrilled to have found such an amazing coach!" - B.B., New York, NY
