​​

• "Each session is an insight and a building block I use to help round out my knowledge. She has the ability to cut to the chase and optimize the discussion to get the most out of what I am dealing with. She is locked into the flow of our conversation and is willing to pause to achieve clarity. I never feel rushed, and her insight has done a lot to help my personal and professional development."

​

• "Coach Fresnel, as always, has an expert way of hearing the melody, harmony and any not-so-great notes within our discussions. This session was a showcase of my sentiments here.

I found it extremely helpful."
