Testimonials

“Simply put, Peggy is world-class. Her keen insights and high energy combine to make her one of if not the best executive coaches working today. Even the most senior executives walk away energized and ready to tackle their biggest challenges after Peggy’s workshops. She is an absolute treasure.”

“Peggy has been a phenomenal coach to me and my team. She’s insightful, passionate and always finds tangible ways to help ‘unlock’ what’s holding us back from that highest level of performance. I love Peggy’s approach to coaching!”

“I can attest to the fact that even the most cynical of audiences will be entertained, engaged, and challenged during Peggy’s presentation.”

I wish I could find at least one Peggy Klaus for every Symposium. Each participant left armed with the ability and confidence to “brag” about her talents and accomplishments, and they raved about Peggy!
