Coaching Testimonials

Megan will be your Yoda, I’m not kidding.

I had a lot of anxiety and stress around my career, and often times felt like rock bottom. She helped me think through what was stressing me out, as well as process my emotions. She equipped me with various resources and methods I could experiment with. It turned me into a better person, and helped me get my shit together and find a job that aligns with everything I’ve ever wanted.

Megan always had a way with words, she always made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and customized approaches to my nerdy needs.

I learned how to process emotions and take a step back to look into a world of possibilities. I learned how to trust the process.

Whatever the situation calls for, Megan knows exactly what to say or do. Read through her posts and newsletter because that’s exactly what you’re getting - no bullshit, just a lot of awesomeness.”
— Maggie Pena, UX Designer @ Hubspot

I was long into a job search when I decided to hire a coach. I struggle a lot with the process, and I saw so many coaches who were offering resume review and mock interviews. That’s not at all what I needed. I needed someone who would help me approach the underlying issues that cause me so much stress and such a lack of confidence in myself. When

I found Meg and looked through her website, I nearly started crying because it was finally someone who wanted to help with not just the mechanics of the job hunt and career work, but to address the things about work and jobs that were making me unhappy. During the time I spent working with Meg, I started understanding myself and the things I do to get in my own way - and how to stop doing that.

I found a job, but that seemed almost secondary to the work I did with how I see myself and understand my goals. She helped me better know how my brain actually works and what I need to do to help me be my best and most authentic self.

If you’re looking for a down to earth, direct and powerful coach, look no further than Megan.

She takes the time to understand you and your goals, and aspirations. She listens and provides actionable intelligence for you to move forward. This is not an endless set of chatter sessions where you come out the same place you started, this Coach helps you take accountability and action for your own direction and future.

If you’re looking for a change, do not hesitate. The future is now and life is short. If you’re not happy it’s a 911 emergency!

Thank you, Megan, for your support, motivation, and direction.
— Elizabeth Boyd, Program Manager @ BD

[Before I started working with Meg], I felt like a complete mess. I didn’t know what I wanted, and I didn’t believe in myself. I kind of lost hope...

In working with Meg, I got a job in exactly the industry I wanted to be in. She helped me with my insecurity and I’m starting to believe I am a leader. I’ve learned how to be bold.

She will never let you give up on yourself. She calls bullshit and doesn’t let you get away with not doing the work.

Now I KNOW I can achieve things. I can get what I want. And that’s the only thing that matters.
— Maria, Product Strategist @ Bloom

Within one week of coaching with Megan, my confidence and mindset changed dramatically. She helped me discover the limiting beliefs that I was holding myself to and served as the embodiment of the supportive friend who just wants you unleash your inner badass.

If you’re on the fence about coaching, I’d definitely say your investment will be even greater than you imagined. We need more genuine coaches like Megan in the world who will truly work hard to help you succeed.

My coaching is occasionally confused with witchcraft.

“I have been Megan’s client for a while now, and I feel particularly happy and lucky about my choice. Competence in one’s job and ability to teach and mentor about that job don’t often pair, but Megan is one of the exceptions. Not only is she very skilled and experienced, she also knows how to transmit her knowledge in a clear and attractive way, and to provide advice and tips with a positive, encouraging attitude.”

Alessandra Viero, UX Researcher


Product & User Experience Testimonials

“Megan is one of the best UX researchers I've ever known. We met in 2014 when she was a speaker at a conference that I organized. She had some of the most groundbreaking ideas that I've ever witnessed. I immediately became her groupie and literally followed her around until she agreed to be my friend.
Since then, I've seen her move mountains for companies of all shapes and sizes. I cannot emphasize, enough, how talented she is.”

Ritika Puri, Founder @ Storyhackers


Megan is a rare breed. She firmly believes that the underlying success of a product or platform involves developing a genuine channel of empathy with your users and that nothing will guarantee a product’s success more than understanding how we can make our users feel more empowered, capable, and happy.
— Alexander Kierlancyzk, UX Designer @ Pax Labs, Inc.

“Megan is phenomenal.”

-Adam Wilson, CEO


“Megan has always got a wealth of knowledge/experience to pull from. She is always genuine in her conversations with you. She's always challenging the status quo and getting you to challenge your own assumptions. Such a valuable driving force in an early stage company!”

Shivani Bhargava, Senior Product Manager @ Uber


“Megan is a vivacious, dynamic, approachable, understanding and creative researcher, designer, teacher, mentor, leader, facilitator and consultant. From the moment you meet her you are uplifted by her drive, dedication, curiosity and empathy. She is incredibly well-rounded and skilled (with deep and broad experience in HCI, computer science, research, design, consulting, wearables, team management and mentorship) and someone who truly thrives while wearing many hats.

She is scrappy, determined, genuine and clearly passionate about her work and how to help people. I greatly admire her as a colleague, friend and mentor and guarantee that wherever she goes she will be a blessing and energizer to the people around her, and inject sense, strategy, innovation and research-based best practices into her team and company.”

Christine Yeh, Product Designer @ Intercom


“For someone still in the early stages of their career, Megan’s mentorship style was a real blessing. Megan trusted in me enough to give me space to work and figure things out on my own, while always making me feel like I could go to her at any time for help or clarification. As a result, I learned a lot very quickly while working with her.

Alexander Kierlancyzk, UX Designer @ Pax Labs, Inc.


“Megan brings immediate impact to an incredibly challenging role…I’ve worked with her directly on several initiatives where the outcomes informed and influenced our organizational strategies at the highest level. Her initiative and natural leadership skills have had a direct and significant impact on my own work and ability to meet and exceed goals in my business unit.

Megan brings unmatched creativity, discipline, and insights that directly drive growth, and I am continually impressed by her intelligence, consistency, and attenuation for understanding human experiences and interactions.”

Vipul Darji, Global Community Manager @ Trifacta
