I didn’t realize how much I needed a coach until I started working with Connie. As a founder, I was used to solving problems on my own but after my company was acquired, I suddenly found myself in uncharted waters without navigation equipment.

That’s when I was introduced to Connie. She became an invaluable guide—helping me clarify what I truly wanted, work through the challenges of the transition, and build a clear path forward.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Connie to any founder navigating a major transition.

Kair Käsper
Co-Founder

When I first started working with Connie, I was absolutely stuck. I had a bunch of ideas about what I wanted to do next, but I had no idea how to take those ideas and turn them into an actionable strategy. And that's where my work with Connie really paid off.

Her intelligence and wealth of executive experience make her a great coach, but most importantly, she is unafraid to ask the hard questions to help get to the root of any issue.

My work with Connie not only helped me to develop a clearer 1, 5, and 10-year career roadmap, but the real breakthrough was that it changed my entire mindset. I'm now in a new role with newfound energy and professional purpose.

I would 100% recommend that anyone looking to navigate their next move — whether in the same role or looking for a new one — would benefit from engaging with Connie.

AJ Kiefer
Chief Customer Officer​

I was truly fortunate to have met Connie Rawson during a life altering change. I had just sold the company I led, Sequence, to Salesforce, and Connie was the M&A Integration leader who guided us through the massive transition.

Her assistance was multi-dimensional. She provided a unique mix of education, encouragement, empathy, humor and direct feedback. Connie’s strategic support was exactly what Sequence needed as an acquired company and what I needed as a new Salesforce executive. My regular meetings with her were the calm amidst the storm of being integrated into Salesforce.

I continued to turn to Connie for executive coaching long after Sequence had been officially integrated. Her counsel at Salesforce was invaluable. Currently, as the CEO of a wearable startup, I continue to turn to Connie for executive coaching as I face the frequently challenging and uncertain roads of setting strategy, executing plans and leading teams.

I unequivocally recommend Connie Rawson as a deeply experienced executive coach who can provide guidance during the most complex and sensitive career situations, at companies large and small.

Jojo Roy
Chief Executive Officer​

Working with Connie was instrumental in helping me shift my approach to executive leadership. I initially sought her out for an independent perspective outside of my company, but the value she delivered was far greater.

I found Connie's coaching to be highly effective because she moves beyond conceptual discussions to suggest practical, actionable solutions that I could implement immediately with my teams.

The biggest breakthrough we achieved was in strengthening my organization's leadership.

Connie successfully guided me in more effectively leveraging my direct reports to share our strategic direction and goals, which led to increased trust and confidence in my managers. Connie is an invaluable resource for any leader seeking implementable solutions and strategic clarity to strengthen their organization's effectiveness.

Lei Pan
VP Total Rewards and Operations

Connie is an exceptional coach as she has vast experience working in high-pressure corporate environments. She is an active, engaged, and thoughtful listener willing to go the extra mile to help her clients.

I would recommend Connie to anyone seeking career advancement, career change, or support as she has helped me navigate transitions in my career during job searches, advancement opportunities and compensation negotiations.

I value Connie's perspectives and would recommend her to anyone looking for coaching during career transitions as well.

Katie Rosholt
Managing Director​

Working with Connie over the past year has sharpened my strategic and operational acumen and profoundly deepened my leadership capabilities.

One of the most tangible outcomes has been my enhanced ability to foster a culture of trust and empowerment within my team at Copado. Furthermore, Connie's guidance was instrumental in helping me find and refine my voice, enabling me to articulate my team's needs and aspirations more clearly.

This skill has proven essential in driving alignment and performance, ensuring my team feels valued and effectively supported. The skills and insights I have gained from our sessions continue to resonate in my daily work, influencing my decisions and the overall trajectory of our company's success.

Sanjay Gidwani
Chief Operating Officer​

Over the past two years, Connie has been instrumental in uniting our leadership team and guiding us through our most critical product strategy conversations.

Recently, we reached a point where we needed to pivot quickly from a focus on efficiency to embracing a true growth mindset. Having been conditioned to think primarily about budgets and optimization, making that shift felt daunting—at times, it felt like the team had 'writer’s block.'

Connie’s coaching helped us move past that optimization mindset and unlock new potential. We began to see ideas flow more freely, our creativity expanded, and we created an environment of abundance and innovation.

Connie creates the space for us to solve for the business together, and the impact has been nothing short of transformative.

Connie is a great listener and was always available to think through any career and life situations. Strongly recommend Connie as an executive and leadership coach.
