Client Stories

"I took your advice to heart and truly relished my time off and am now mentally prepared for my new academic life. On Tuesday this week I started that new career at UT Austin. It feels GREAT! I'm still grateful for your guidance and, on a daily basis, recall several things you told me. I can't believe you were able to guide me through this major life decision with just one month of coaching. So, thank you again for helping me see through the fog!"

— Molly P.

"First, I gained some real value from the program—mostly it was in helping me become unstuck in a few key areas. Like you said, it seemed almost like magic. I didn't push anything or struggle, rather I just eased up and changed my viewpoint and then things shifted. For example, for a long time I've been bothered by all the clutter my very sweet and dear husband leaves around the house. I just accepted it as my lot in life to constantly need to move this stuff around as I need an orderly environment (my #1 emotional need as it turns out) and he doesn't.

"Talane, I just wanted to write you a little note to let you know how much I appreciate your book Coach Yourself to Success. I have been reading and re-reading it for several years now. A few months ago I left a job that I liked to make more money as a pharmaceutical sales rep. I worked very long hours and was away from home for two weeks every month. My territory covered most of the state of California. During that time I was so miserable that I spent all of the extra money that I was making on expensive shoes and handbags.

"First of all I want to apologize for my English, because it's not my mother tongue. Anyway, I enjoy your tips that I receive in my inbox, especially the tip from this week (get rid of all those petty annonyances). I found this a rather stupid idea. But after a few weeks, I decided to do it anyway.

"I hired Talane Miedaner because I was in an orchestra, but I really wanted to be a soloist -- a star of the stage, but didn't know how to get there. I had no idea Talane would ask me to take The Emotional Index Quiz and work on getting my personal and emotional needs met as a means to reach success. I had to expand my boundaries and fulfill my emotional needs first. I had thought it worked the other way around, that once I was a soloist, then I'd be happy! Now I see that being a star doesn't fulfill my needs-- I have my friends and family for that.

One of my clients, let's call her Catherine Banks to protect her identity, hired me when she was working at a major US Bank as a Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales. She was frustrated with her job because of the corporate politics and the old boys network that she couldn't seem to crack. Her boss complimented her work, but she had to fight for everything she wanted to do. But the job paid well and she had a great team of people working for her. She received an offer from her prior company, another major U.S.
