This experience has catapulted my team’s skills to the next level and beyond! They are far more confident, engaging, and clear in their presentations, making them more effective and energizing communicators. The impact has been so positive that I’m planning with Colleen for another round of training with the rest of my group! Some of the improvements noticed included the team having an improved growth mindset, performing better research before approaching their line managers for assistance, admitting where they should take responsibility for an issue, and referring back to specifics in Colleen’s workshops when discussing developmental struggles. Overall, 1:1 discussions improved as everyone was now working from the same playbook and understood their own responsibility in their personal and career development instead of looking to their manager and wondering why they weren’t getting ahead. I highly recommend reaching out to Colleen to discuss training needs or concerns as she is extremely flexible and resourceful when it comes to tailoring development programs at any level. New hires found the material as engaging and insightful as did our seasoned, director level veterans.

As leaders, we want to be more, but we don't always know how. We have been starving for this communication training and we've tried several things. But this has been the most successful and enlightening. You did your homework, but you allowed us to get into the weeds and really talk about things. I thank you and ask that you come back and do this again!

The Team improved its leadership, communication, and collaboration skillsets.

The Team is more engaged, productive, and highly motivated with greater personal satisfaction and helped retain our valuable employees.

The training helped me design a career development strategy in collaboration with our team members tailored to their individual talent needs and stages of their careers.

The training has provided my department to build a sustainable and adaptable approach to building a talent management strategy with an engaged workforce.

Colleen Hauk was an outstanding keynote speaker at the Multifamily Women® Summit. Her wealth of experience and expertise was evident from the moment she took the stage, and her delivery was both engaging and informative. The audience was captivated by her insights and stories, and her message resonated deeply with the attendees. Colleen's ability to connect with the audience and make the information relatable was truly impressive. I have received positive feedback from attendees about her keynote, and I would not hesitate to recommend Colleen as a speaker for any future events. She truly exceeded our expectations and was a highlight of the summit.

Colleen Hauk has been my executive coach for over a year now. She has helped me tremendously grow from a regional leader to a national leader in my company. My relationships with my direct reports, their team members, and my colleagues have improved as a direct result of her insights. No matter the topic I bring to her, she has valuable insight and helps me navigate the issues presented. The growth in my leadership capabilities has been exponential and I would not be where I am today without her. I highly recommend Colleen if you seek your growth and development as well as those you influence.

Working with Colleen has been one of the most impactful investments I’ve made in my career. I came into coaching as a strong performer, but needed support refining my executive presence, elevating my communication, and leading my team with more clarity and confidence. Colleen immediately understood my role and tailored every session to the real situations I was facing, from managing a new executive peer, to raising expectations with my team, to navigating high-stakes conversations with senior leadership. With her guidance, I’ve become far more intentional with my tone, facial expressions, and overall presence. I’m staying out of the weeds, communicating at a more strategic level, and giving more direct, meaningful feedback to my team. I’ve gained practical tools I use every day, and both my leaders and team have noticed the positive change. I strongly recommend Colleen to any leader ready to grow into their next level.
