The HabitShift Coaches

Paul Patterson

Paul is a Certified Professional and Executive Coach with experience working with world-class organizations forming teams to solve complex technical issues. Paul is also in recovery and an ordained minister, equally at home coaching individuals seeking to deepen their connection with family, community, the divine universe and -- most notably -- themselves.

"Rather than just dispensing information, Paul allowed me to achieve insight, knowledge and intelligence. I discovered what worked and what didn't because I had to be in the picture. I grew. I soar."

Steve Motenko

Steve has been called "a true Renaissance man." In living out his deepest calling -- helping individuals create of their lives a unique and compelling work of art -- Steve draws from a Harvard degree in psychology, an award-winning journalism background, and extensive experience as a facilitator, a teacher, a musician, and a parent.

"Coaching with Steve is the best money I've spent in years. What value can you put on getting your life back? I guess it is true that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear, but I feel blessed that Steve is the one there to guide me."

Kate Harris, PhD

Kate has been working for over 15 years to help clients connect with their strengths to establish meaningful, productive lives. She is a graduate of the Institute for Life Coach Training and of Martin Seligman's evidence-based Authentic Happiness Coaching program, and she is a Martha Beck-trained North Star Coach.

"Kate's coaching style is a wonderful combination of compassion, intellect, and a masterful talent for spotting the procrastination, rationalization and distraction patterns that plague anyone trying to change old habits. She's most definitely on your side, but she's not about to let you off the hook."

Sandy Russell

Sandy is a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach and a Certified Human Resource Professional with a nine-year background in employee and organizational development. Her passion is inspiring and developing people who are driven to discover their full potential.

"Sandy's coaching exceeded my expectations. I'd rank my experience with Sandy as an 11 out of 10. It was like having someone wise walk you home from school. Her professionalism and her genuine gifts as a coach made her someone I looked forward to talking to every week. She was mindful to pause, recognize progress and celebrate successes."

Carolyn Righi

Carolyn's specialty is helping successful men and women shift from the lives of quiet desperation that result from meeting others' expectations, to experiencing the authentic power and joy that comes from defining life on their own terms.

"Through working with Carolyn, I am continually practicing to worry less and feel good about my strengths, which I have a habit of not celebrating."

Beverly Marsh

Beverly is a Certified Professional Coach with over six years of successful experience in the field of weight loss and weight management. She is a licensed "Living Your Vision" coach for individuals and partners and is a member of the faculty at the Academy for Coach Training in Bellevue, Washington.

"She helps me access my inner knowledge, focus my energy on the core of the issue, and maintain that focus. Through it all, her innate exuberance and zest for life shines through and becomes quite contagious. With Beverly's support, I feel I can accomplish anything I set my mind and heart to do."

Shauna Mokelki PCC, BA

With a uniquely intuitive approach and over 13 years working with others as they implement change in their lives, Shauna works with a diverse client group, from successful entrepreneurs to street-involved youth, to bring their personal vision to life.

"I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to talk to you. You made me feel amazingly comfortable, and I really enjoyed being able to open up to you and be really honest about my feelings. It really helped me to be honest with myself as well. You have taught me valuable lessons that I will be able to use in the future. It is amazing to have this new ability to see things from a different perspective, and to know that my response is a choice. So many areas of life are fulfilled because of coaching; I feel really good about life! Thanks so much for listening, and guiding."

"Sandi truly loves people and is passionate about giving her clients the tools to make a difference in their own lives."

Angela Neumann MA, CEC, ACC

Angela is a certified executive and life skills coach. She has a Master's degree in leadership and training and specializes in leadership development. In order to be a great leader, Angela believes that one must be able to lead oneself first.

"Angela's coaching was filled with what I would call "compassionate firmness." On one side she brought deep care and authentic presence and, on the other side, she was able to bring the firmness I needed to keep me on track with my commitments and practices. Beautiful and powerful combination. Thank you Angela."

Sherry LeBlanc

Sherry LeBlanc earned her Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching at Royal Roads University. Sherry brings an unwavering dedication to supporting executives, entrepreneurs and whole organizations in their pursuit of sustaining change and achievements. She also strongly espouses the principle of mind/body balance, often calling upon her 20 years of fitness knowledge and credentials as a Provincial Certified Fitness Trainer to help clients bring competing areas of their lives into alignment.

"It seems quite simple: you know 'what you need to do' and 'how to do it'. Working with Sherry make me accountable getting to the 'when to do it'."
