Authentic Coaching

“loved this podcast! Definitely one of the many can relate to. This podcast allowed me to think outside the box and look within myself. Whether corporate or within government entities, you'll end with thoughts of where you are, what's missing, where you'd like to be and a way forward in your career. This is a must hear! You won't regret it. I wish I had this coaching early on in my career and would highly recommend to others. Definitely helpful.”

In one word: brilliant!

“Muriel is a brilliant, empathetic and insightful coach. I love this podcast so much that I have saved pretty much every episode. It's not just useful as a leader in need for help and guidance (I learn a lot from the coaching sessions) but her ability to discover and guide the leaders helps me a lot in becoming a better coach for my team. These two learning tracks make it a podcast that is truly gold! Thank you, Muriel, for this amazing service.”

My favorite leadership podcast. So human!

“Coaching is a skill. In art. And when it's working, it feels effortless. These conversations with real leaders are fascinating because Muriel keeps them grounded. The original premise of every episode is important, but Muriel gets to the more interesting root of it each time by asking straightforward questions, challenging guests gently but firmly, and offering wisdom that is accessible to everyone. Seriously love that these episodes can be valuable both for all leaders and for aspiring coaches. Keep up the great work!”

This is the best leadership podcast I've ever listened to

“Having the ability to listen to other leaders explain their issues is so incredibly relatable and really helps the coaching from Muriel hit home so much more. I'm binging every episode and can't wait for more to come out.”

I learn so much listening to this show.

“This show is a lesson in deep listening, asking great questions, and questioning our assumptions. I love getting to eavesdrop on what is usually a closed-door dynamic (reminds me of Where We Should We Begin with Esther Perel in that way) and getting to hear the client’s transformation in real time. Muriel is a real one.“

Muriel is a coaching gem!

“She is so insightful and intuitive. She not only helps leaders navigate through complex leadership challenges, she has inspired many coaches to reflect on what we can take away from every podcast and put into practice to become even better coaches to our client.”

Amazing resource for personal transformation!

“The Coaching Real Leaders podcast is a great resource for anyone seeking personal growth and development.

Coach Muriel's approach is empowering and inspiring, helping listeners to uncover their true potential and create meaningful change in their lives. Whether it's improving relationships, finding purpose, or enhancing work life balance, the Coaching Real Leaders podcast provides an invaluable resource for personal transformation period it's a must listen for anyone seeking growth and transformation in their lives.”

Something for everyone!

“First, let me say that I tend to get disinterested with podcasts almost instantly. However, I stumbled on this podcast, and I can't stop listening period I was looking for something relevant to me, as a coaching and career development professional, but not under or overdone. This podcast hits the sweet spot. As a coach, it helps me exercise my skills by “playing along”. As a professional, it teaches and shows me alternative ways to think about leadership and goal setting. As a listener, I am thoroughly entertained by the stories and situations being discussed and constantly thinking about the parallels in my professional and personal life. Muriel is incredibly talented, perfectly pragmatic and full of wisdom for any listener. So excited to have a podcast I actually like!”

Not just for leaders

“Leader or not, you will gain beneficial strategies and food for thought. I am five years short from retirement and not looking to climb the ladder but looking to forge stronger relationships with my administration and colleagues, which would result in strengthening my own leadership abilities. I couldn't help but relate to the client and found myself answering the questions asked of her to explore some of my challenges. Well done!”
