Achaogen Biotechnology Company

“After absorbing a significant corporate restructuring and the associated layoffs we were in the need of a team reboot. The work you did bringing our team together at the offsite made a big difference in our connection, trust and engagement. I appreciated that you did not want to just come and do a day with us but really urged me to invest in team coaching as well. Thanks to your guidance, we were able to continue on the journey you helped us kick off. After our offsite, we consistently invested time during our routine meetings to focus on “the how” and sustained team improvement.”

“[Marla Skibbins] is an incredibly gifted executive coach, and, even more importantly, a truly caring person. Marla was a critical partner in helping me identify my values, strengths, and opportunities for growth what’s more, she’s smark, direct, and excels at holding people accountable. 

With Marla’s help, I was able to re-prioritize my home and work responsibilities to make space for the most important, impactful activities. As a result, I’m able to be more strategic, more effective, and much happier!”

“[We were] managing through difficult times with a team that was in transition; with some people who had been laid off, some people who had taken on new roles. [We were] establishing a new leader, trying to maintain team cohesiveness with the departure of some key members that had been around for a long time, and trying to create a safe space to voice concerns - and voice the good and the bad, so that we were all starting from the same place to rebuild.

It was really lovely to see that [through coaching] we were able to get to a place where we could say goodbye to the people who had to leave from a good place and honor their memory and continue to grow as a team, manage that transition in a healthy way, when a situation like that could end up being a very unhealthy sort of transition was really, really helpful.”

“I would highly recommend Marla and Amy for doing team effectiveness work with any level of team. To kick off the process they used a 360 team assessment and interviews to help identify key roadblocks to our group working more efficiently and effectively. They then partnered with me to custom design a one-day team mastery offsite for my global finance team.

When our team evaluated their experience of the team offsite with Marla and Amy they earned a net promoter score of 4.8 out of 5 from our entire team, and I know my team was pretty skeptical going into it! We look forward to having them back to support us on our journey of team mastery for our finance organization.”

“[Our work with Level Up EQ] energized us, imbued our team with a strong sense of purpose and we were given tools to stay focused and choose on purpose. This work is so important for self-awareness and awareness of leadership impact.”

Cisco Meraki

“The leadership training program has had a positive impact across my team. I was worried going in, we were such a mixed bunch. Managers, newly minted leads, strong technical ic’s, career negotiators, skeptics, zealots… The powerful first day training, the regular follow up sessions, and the targeted coaching have created a massive shift in the way they communicate and cooperate. The team shows up to everyday interactions using program skills and testing the limits of their emotional intelligence. What’s more they now share a common framework and vocabulary for this exercise, recognizing each others efforts and holding each other accountable for use and growth of new abilities. What they’ve learned is changing them all into better leaders, better managers, better people, and setting them up for success in growing and nurturing our teams’ next generation.”
