I recently had the privilege of working with an exceptional Executive Coach, Judy Weinstein. Although I was hesitant and nervous about starting this work, after our first session, I knew it was the right choice. One thing that stood out to me was how quickly Judy was willing to learn about my career slumps and challenges. She quickly tailored her guidance to understand my goals and aspirations. She was always prepared, asked the right questions and provided insightful feedback that helped me gain clarity and make progress in my work. In addition to being knowledgeable and experienced, Judy was also very personable and easy to talk to. I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and concerns, knowing I would receive non-judgmental support and guidance. She also challenged me with “homework” assignments, which provided me with an opportunity to be intentional with my progress. Overall, I can say without hesitation that working with Judy was a positive experience that exceeded my expectations. I am forever grateful for the guidance and support that I received and would highly recommend Judy Weinstein to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate executive coach.

I worked with Judy Weinstein as my executive coach for approximately six months and it was life-changing. Judy with her strategic questions and activities was able to quickly gain an understanding of my background and my goals for the coaching session. Within that, she quickly established trust which was instrumental in allowing me to do the work necessary to make progress. At times she challenged me, and it was uncomfortable, to say the least, but I would not be where I am today professionally or personally without her continuous push to bring me out on the other side. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an executive coach that will genuinely care for what they are trying to achieve personally and professionally. I look forward to continuing my coaching with Judy Weinstein in 2023!

Judy’s warm, caring approach as an executive coach helped me dig deep into areas of discomfort and overcome obstacles that were keeping me from taking needed next steps. Our six months of working together helped me articulate my vision—to myself and others, and move forward. I valued her ability to hold me accountable but also give me space so that I could take the time I needed to process what changing my career path required. I’m taking a leap but feel confident in a way I didn’t expect when I started the coaching process. I highly recommend Judy.

I began coaching with Judy during a time of new opportunity in my professional role, and have benefited greatly from her ability to create a safe space for transformative work. Judy’s strengths-based approach allowed me to identify and expand skills I already draw upon, while helping me visualize and develop others. She challenged me to ask myself – and answer – the hard questions that are essential to growth. Judy regularly shared insights that created “aha” moments for me, and perhaps even more importantly, she helped me develop those insights myself. Because of my coaching with Judy, I feel reenergized in my work, bringing a more expansive perspective and openness to the possibilities offered by each situation or experience. I recommend Judy to anyone looking to refresh and grow professionally and personally. Those beginning coaching with Judy should be prepared for someone who genuinely cares about her clients and delights in their progress.

I had the great pleasure of being coached by Judy during a career transition (which coincided with some life transition, as is often the case). Judy beautifully balanced empathy and compassion with questions that challenged and pushed me to grow and become more comfortable with myself and in situations that had the potential to be prickly. She coached me through conversations related to a job offer and salary negotiations, the outcomes of which continue to have positive ripple effects today. While working with Judy I grew both personally and professionally. She helped me to be able to articulate my own worth and advocate for myself without feeling needy or apologetic. Working with Judy was truly transformative and it’s a gift to continue to have her on my team and in my life. I can’t recommend her more highly.

Because of my work with Judy I was able to make important decisions with greater confidence and clarity. Her incisive questions help me get to the root of what I want and help me understand any self-imposed obstacles. She approaches this work with what feels to me like a pure version of coaching, trusting that attentive listening, good questions, mirroring, and specific positive feedback are what’s needed to produce the greatest impact - kind of like Alice Waters trust in simple, fresh ingredients! I think it comes down to Judy trusting her client’s abilities to learn and grow and not needing to change, critique, or advise. This has felt surprisingly fresh and a great fit! She acts as a smart and supportive partner, assuming her client knows best but just needs a hand sorting things out! I would recommend Judy for someone seeking to make changes in their personal or professional life, and has the ability to act once they get her help.

There have been so many occasions in which I could hear Judy’s voice in my head, encouraging me to look inward to my strengths and my values to help me chart my path – or even a single step – forward. Judy will walk with you on your journey — guiding you to a clearer understanding of how your strengths have brought you to the place where you are and how they can propel you forward on your path, to see possibilities more clearly, and to trust yourself along the way

There were days that I might have looked to her for an answer or an opinion. She gives neither of those things. Instead, she challenges me with hard questions, helps me locate my center, see through the clutter of environment, and encourages me to use my values and strengths as guideposts for how I show up as a leader.

I would recommend Judy to anyone who is working to navigate through a challenging situation. That could be a plateau or the unfamiliar territory of a new ascent.
— Christina, Executive Director

Working with Judy has been a life changing experience. Judy helped me build my confidence by showing me what I already had, emphasizing my strengths to support my work and build on my passions and expertise.

Judy is an exceptional professional coach because she captures all the elements of my life and utilizes them to elevate my professional development. During our coaching session, I am able to receive support on immediate needs but also work towards long term goals. Judy has helped me think through the actions needed to reach my 3, 5, 10 year goals. Judy has provided the support and resources so that I can plant the seeds to the garden of my future.
— Francisco, Executive Director

Working with Judy has made me realize how much I can go for if I don’t stand in my own way. She helped open up the possibility that I could leap into an unknown new job, vastly differently from my previous experience, and tap into my capabilities. Thankfully Judy helped me push to make that leap and supported me in growing into it so quickly and easily. Spending this dedicated time with her has also allowed me to specifically identify my priorities, which include work/life balance, and then create targeted action to actually DO that - and identify supports to get myself there.
The most impactful part of my partnership with Judy is the ability of her excellent and targetted questions to help me be introspective. Judy is extremely kind. She has a unique way about her that allows her to push and ask hard questions without any judgement or fear. She is amazingly gifted in this work.

Working with Judy has been valuable to me. She has helped me think through how to handle some difficult management issues. She always followed-up on those issues, ensuring that I didn’t lose sight of the strategies and tactics that we identified. And while 2020 required me to deal with immediate crises, Judy also helped to keep me focused on the bigger picture of my career overall. My two main goals are to do well in my current position and to think about my future direction. Judy has been a great partner in keeping me focused on both of these goals.
