We are so thankful for the time, commitment and passion that Pursuits brings to the startup founders at Boomtown. Being an entrepreneur is hard and the Pursuits partnership and coaches prepare them for the tough mental and emotional challenge of bringing their idea into the world. We (Boomtown) and they (the founders) appreciate their mindful and practical approaches and coaching. They focus on what matters (the people) and are making a huge difference in the lives of these startups.

The Pursuits Coaching program truly changed the way I look at leadership and team interaction. The team took a schmorgesborg approach of teaching us several diverse frameworks for leadership. And yet at the end of every session, they would tie it back to the core themes of building trust and commitment. It felt simultaneously varied and interconnected. I also loved that leadership was taught from the perspective of being your unique self and using your strengths rather than fitting some kind of mold. Every leader is different, and we lead best when we know ourselves. It was a wonderful and rewarding few months, and I know I would not be the leader I am today if not for this opportunity.

I took part in the Business Leader's Cohort in Fall of 2017. This was such an incredible experience of learning what is means to be an effective and empathetic leader! The coaches and mentors that guided us through each meeting and lesson were unmatched in their expertise and ability to relate in ways that helped shape me in to the leader that I am today. I highly recommend Pursuits Coaching for personal, team, executive and leadership development of all kinds. Pursuits Coaching will push you or your team in to new areas of life and business that will bring more effective and positive impact to your relationship and interactions.

Pursuits fostered my professional and personal growth through a challenging yet fun and exciting program. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Pursuits Coaching has been a wonderful resource for our organization and for the community! I have taken part in a leadership cohort with Pursuits and found the discussions and tools instrumental in transforming my role and facilitating creative solutions with my peers. Pursuits has also partnered with our organization and helped us impact countless youth in the community - the ethic of giving is a central component of their business and resonates with all of the work they do. The professionalism and variety of programming offered by the Pursuits staff is top quality and I appreciate their willingness to customize their programs based on our needs. I highly recommend Pursuits Coaching to help take your personal and professional growth to the next level in passion, purpose and profit!

I've had the pleasure of working with Sharla and the Pursuits team on joint leadership offerings for entrepreneurs at Impact Hub Boulder, and feel lucky to be part of such a mutual partnership. Sharla is a true visionary when it comes to 21st century leadership and an expert on the skillsets that equip leaders to be their best selves. In our partnership meetings, I'm consistently impressed by how up-to-date and passionate Pursuits is about leadership trends and coaching styles. Impact Hub Boulder has confidently put our entrepreneurs through Pursuits cohorts and offerings and is partnering with Pursuits to offer a Leadership Lab, where we will have the opportunity to bring Pursuits' core competencies into a highly interactive and transformative journey that we are co-designing for our impact businesses and social entrepreneurs at Impact Hub. It's a real privilege to work with Pursuits. We share similar values within our missions and our partnership meetings are as much fun as they are productive!

I was a member of a Pursuits Women's Empowerment Group for about 6 months. At the time, my personal life was going through some difficult changes and my professional life felt stagnant. My entire life I have had close female friends who I admire and love and I am extremely close to my sisters and mother. I have learned so much from them all, I never really thought I was "the type" who would get much out of a Women's Empowerment Group or that I needed extra support. Turns out I was wrong! There is something about women who don't know each other, coming together to learn from each other, to grow together and to build on each other's lessons and energy so that we can take steps to improve our lives. Sharla and Linda were ideal mentors to our group. They definitely served as the guides and sage mentors of the group but they also encouraged us to partake in decisions about how the group could best operate and learn together. Although the learning was not always easy for any of us, we all came away feeling better able to tackle challenges, make important life decisions and be better listeners and support for others. I made some decisions about both my personal and professional life that I doubt I would have done without the inspiration and support of this group!

I have sent several patients to Pursuits for counseling. They received excellent care with great outcomes. I was given timely updates on their progress and my patients were very appreciative of the kind and caring treatment provided by Pursuits. I highly recommend their services.
