“In the summer of 2004, after years of dealing with progressive functional losses and increasing levels of pain, I finally made the decision to have total knee replacements in both of my knees. My work with Paula Eder, as a teacher and a coach, over the next several months, impacted my surgical experience and my healing process in positive and empowering ways. Her emphasis on personal responsibility helped me to realize that this was my experience and that these were my decisions to make each step of the way. She encourages a very practical, one-step-at-a-time process that kept me focused on breaking down what could have been an overwhelming experience into small, manageable pieces. Her questions for me along the way were direct and insightful and encouraged me to clarify my own values. I have appreciated her integrity, authenticity, and honesty throughout the months of working together. I have felt challenged, supported and empowered. I experienced many tangible benefits of our work in both preparing for the surgery and during my healing process. By visualizing every aspect of my surgery and hospitalization beforehand, I was able to reduce my fears and bring in and really integrate as much positive energy as possible.” Julie D.

“Paula Eder is a very perceptive, dynamic, and creative coach. These qualities are reflected in her ability to quickly assess the essence of any challenge I present to her; her talent in communicating to me the context and interpersonal dynamics involved in a given situation; and her talent in guiding me to resolve the challenge in a responsible and ethical manner. Paula’s approach fosters a strengthening of my capacity to be effective; thus, allowing me to be better equipped to address additional challenges as they emerge. Paula’s commitment to personal and professional growth encourages my desire to develop my potential in new areas. For example, for the first time in my life I am developing a healthy relationship with time. My traditional relationship with time has been to see time as an oppressive force. Paula has taught me not to fight with time. She coaches me to see time as a resource that needs to respected and not depleted. I am becoming more mindful of the relationship between taking care of myself and respecting time. I sense a growing voice in me telling me that I have done enough. When I hear this voice in me encouraging me to be more balanced, I am grateful to Paula for what she has taught me. Beyond individual coaching, Paula creates a strong telephonic learning community through her artful and caring facilitation. She guides learning by promoting dialogue within firm and respectful boundaries. I am always amazed by how much I and other participants learn in a given session. The learning Paula promotes is authentic, meaningful, and respectful to our time needs. I love that we make connections with each other in an intimate setting without leaving our respective homes or offices.” Ellen H.

“For the past many years I have worked with Paula Eder and consider her to be an important role model and mentor. Paula’s teaching style is gentle and non-judgmental which has made it very easy to accept the tools which she provides. This has allowed me to clarify my values and manage my time in order to get the most out of each moment in my life. Paula has coached and supported me unfailingly throughout many of life’s travails- job changes, relationship issues, relocation, death of a parent – and with her focus and instinct for facilitating the discovery of one’s personal truth and reality, she has helped me to develop my own wisdom and problem-solving skills. Skills which will serve me long after the lessons are over! My work with her has resulted in better communication and the confidence in my ability to manage whatever situations arise. Under her tutelage I have learned invaluable lessons about living an enriched, empowered and more meaningful life.” Jill R.

“Through coaching, Paula has taught me an immense amount about the importance and process of keeping current with myself. Paula’s knowledge of and experience with the process of self discovery is impressive. She is incredibly well read in all areas of human growth and development and applied this working knowledge in assisting me in setting goals for any area of my life that I wanted to enhance. Paula’s ability to listen and hear what people are really saying is truly exemplary. Initially I didn’t think I had the time to devote to learning more about myself even though there were things I wanted to change. But, I ended up saving time and energy. I now respond to situations in less time with increased confidence. I used to think I worked better under pressure but found out that I am much more satisfied with the results when I spend the time to plan. Making the transition from being employed by others to self employment has been challenging. Paula has helped me understand my need for a predictable structure and that taking time for my emotional, spiritual and physical needs is a high priority. I recommend Paula to anyone who wishes to increase his or her personal satisfaction by taking action on values based choices.” Lee B.

“Paula is a process person. Process is the key. When I retired after 27 years of interacting with more than 100 people daily to become a consultant, I became acutely aware that I was “time challenged”. Paula helped me build a new way to deal with my now totally flexible time. She helped me create a new time sense. I needed to work, but the goal was to be doing something I enjoyed and felt passionate about. We first worked to address my concerns, fears, and losses. Learning to plan for something new, balanced with learning how to let go of the old, was difficult. Paula encouraged me and suggested strategies to keep me moving forward. Paula has skills that run deep. She is intuitive, highly perceptive, and can quickly hone in to assess a situation and suggest strategies to address a problem or need. Her creativity and wealth of experience have helped me generate creative solutions to build my future consulting career. Her help has been invaluable to me.” Sandra K.
