Testimonials

CHALLENGING, INSIGHTFUL & DYNAMIC

Thank you so much for being such an integral part of my learning journey and I am forever grateful for that. I have learned so much about myself, my inner thoughts and my long-held beliefs.  You have taught me how to challenge them and expose them in a curious, kind manner!  It has made me a better person and a more skilled coach. I consider myself fortunate to be able to call you a teacher and mentor, both as an individual and a professional.

Lorna Poole, PCC

I did my individual mentor coaching with Merci for my ACC renewal this year (2019) and am so glad I did!  I was drawn to her varied background, experience and enthusiasm. Our sessions gave me some fresh insight into the coaching situations I deal with as an internal leadership coach.  In just a few targeted sessions, I was able to get some clear perspective that benefited me as well as my clients. I’m very appreciative of what I learned from working with Merci and would highly recommend her.

I had the privilege to have Merci as my mentor for assessing me at International Coach Academy. (ICA). Through these sessions, I really developed as a coach, not only by learning new effective techniques of powerful questioning but also through gaining confidence in further developing my own style.  Merci is very attentive when working with individuals, picking up on any nuances and underlying issues in a sensitive yet constructive way. She has a special ability to sense and support the individual she is mentoring and is a truly inspiring teacher

Merci inspires me and I look up to her as a coach. I enjoy her direct style so she gets straight to the core of the issue with a client without wasting time on the situation. I enjoy her authenticity and pragmatism: she shares openly the challenges she faced and how she overcame them, offering useful tools and techniques. She has been instrumental in helping me become the coach I am today and I look forward to continuing to learn from her.

I was so much lucky to meet Merci Miglino as a Coaching Trainer & Mentor. I stand currently as a distinguished coach among my colleagues because of what I have learned from her, especially how to make successful coaching sessions.

Merci is a consummate coach and master teacher.  And like most great teachers, she is also a master student. I was fortunate to have her in my training, and she demonstrated her skills throughout the course. She is now working with me as an assistant teacher. I cannot recommend her skills and services more highly.

Lion Goodman

Merci has coached in DNA, I am sure about that. During one of the classes, Merci said: "When listening to someone, just shower them with appreciation." I will never forget that. So profound and inspiring. I will be forever grateful for having the opportunity to learn about coaching from Merci.

Ivana Krcivoj

I first encountered Merci Miglino when I began my coaching career as a student many years ago. She was an instructor at my training school. I found her skills of observation and communication very astute. She was always supportive and several times helped to create some important awareness for me when I was conflicted over some things in the curriculum. She was, and is, very adept at helping students and clients stretch and grow. She does this in a nurturing, but fun way. I enjoy her sense of humour.

Iris Arenson

If you are looking for transformational change and want to work with the best I would look no further than Merci. Having worked with her over the past two years I believe what sets her apart is her straight-talking approach. She will call a spade a spade, and if she catches you beating around the brush she will pull you right out! If you are like me, you are going to coaching because you are looking for a significant shift. No matter what you discover about yourself on this coaching journey I know Merci will be with you the whole way.

Gemma McFall

The best thing about Merci is that she’s a great listener. There have been many instances where Merci has helped me to overcome my issues, but I am most grateful to her about one particular mentoring session of hers which quite literally changed my life and saved me from making a big mistake. Thanks to her support I eventually overcame my shortcomings and regained my confidence and accomplished my project quite successfully. I will never forget that support that I got for her and I shall always be grateful to Merci for coaching me so wonderfully.

Anuj Sharma

Her presence, authenticity, deep understanding of human behaviours and also her non- judgmental approach really taught me a lot and shaped my life both personally and professionally. Merci has a unique way of ‘seeing’ inside you and bringing up the hidden matter in a way you haven’t been able to see in your entire life. She is compassionate, open-minded, professional, straightforward, challenging yet empathetic and encouraging. I would highly recommend her. Be aware though, there is a risk: it will change your life and you might learn how to fly.

Dinko Barbalic

I worked with Merci as my training mentor since 2013 at ICA (International Coach Academy). In those wonderful years, Merci demonstrated how to be a good mentor. She mentors from a high level – seeing the trends of training, giving us practical guidelines, leading discussions on how to co-create the solution in a group so their wisdom can be tapped. She operates with warmness and compassion – and this is where I want to go.

 Effie Pan

Thanks to Merci’s experience and encouragement I was able to bravely try new approaches to increase self-awareness for my clients. Her honesty and non-judgmental listening supports learning and awakens a desire to improve.
