Executive Coaching Testimonials

"   I was first introduced to Dr. Laneri as a member of the Board of Selectmen; we hired her to improve the performance of a Town municipal department and develop the leadership of the department supervisor. Within a few months we saw a marked improvement in both items.
   I recently made a career change and needed help with my new professional relationships. Dr. Laneri helped me develop ideas to continue to hone my leadership skills up and down the corporate ladder. She also provided valuable insight as how I impacted my managing up skills; she helped me clarify my weaknesses and strengths."

"   Our town Department of Public Works had critical morale problems due to funding and staffing shortfalls, all the result of a weakened economy. The Department of Public Works Director position was eliminated and the responsibility of managing the department fell on the supervisory personnel, who had limited management experience.
   Aware of Dr Laneri's successes working with individuals in team building, we contracted her services in the hopes that the investment would create a more positive work environment for the employees of the department, thereby improving job performance. In a span of only a few months the turn around was more than we anticipated. Employees were more interactive, which brought about a cohesive environment, whereby employees recognized the team concept. In a better work atmosphere they were able to see other members of their department as offering support and assistance, versus each member working within their own 'silos'. Performance has improved significantly and it is truly a happier place for them to work.
   It is our intent to continue to use the services of Laneri Coaching and as the financial picture improves, expand the use of her services to other town departments."
- Robert Fleming, Chairman, Upton Board of Selectmen

"   I have known Dr. Laneri for almost eight years, and have had the absolute pleasure of watching her in action as she led and motivated a talented and diverse team of Military professionals. As her direct supervisor, I can attest to her complete concern for the welfare of her people and her attention to the smallest detail when it came to mission planning and execution. She approached her job with genuine passion, and set high standards in everything that she did. Her team members learned all the while under her guidance, and they performed in a cohesive group that constantly reflected her dedicated and skilled approach to excellence. A topnotch and proven performer, in both private/public practice as well as having completed a superb Military career, her impressive list of accomplishments and well grounded experience make her the ideal resource to guide and assist you in reaching your full potential."

I'm confident her coaching business will thrive."

Individual Coaching Testimonials

"   I consider myself to be a driven and motivated person, with the ability to see things from different or multiple perspectives. Having Peggy Laneri as my coach further aided achieving my career goals by helping me see things from a coach's perspective. Great athletes often have personal coaches/trainers to further help them with their fitness goals, even though some athletes are already very driven and understand fitness. Although this is not fitness, Peggy has helped me as a guide to further define and direct my career dreams and I feel as though having her as a coach helped get me to a place that I would not have been able to get without a career coach. I am very happy and proud to have been coached by such a great person!"

Her training and experience as a psychologist provides her with a solid foundation on which to build effective growth strategies. She is humble, caring, and most importantly, remarkably capable of helping people achieve their fullest potential. I offer my highest endorsement!"

"   In high school I prepared for the Naval Academy with the help of a Blue and Gold Officer. While competing in the EBAL for springboard diving it was Monty, my diving coach. Both were helpful for the development of character, and the focusing of my skills. Dr. Margaret Laneri has helped me in a way that had I found her services three years ago I could have altered my career for the better and with less effort! Learning from experience doesn't always mean it has to be your own."
