Meghann McNiff

 
Working with Meghann was wonderful. She carefully and thoughtfully provided a growth plan which helped guide me to a better understanding of how I could bring my best, unique self to work. One of the practices that she uncovered I use in meetings every day. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Meghann is a remarkable, intuitive teacher who guided my personal growth under a specific coaching topic that was created by both of us. Meghann’s approach included highly attuned archetypal and visual metaphors to help me visualize where I felt I was and where I felt I wanted to be, bi-weekly practices (also created by both of us), journaling, meditations and working through my Enneagram type growth path. We measured “progress” revisiting the coaching topic and three overarching objectives each session and were able to adapt and build the program as I needed each week. I appreciated the variety of tools and resources that were available to me during these 12-weeks and the flexibility of the program.

My work with Meghann was transformative - so many of the tools and awarenesses I cultivated around my personality type, how I relate to stress and the way I communicate and process challenges, I carry with me today, 6 months after our work together. It’s hard to describe, but I just have a bigger perspective about the inner workings of myself, and that impacts how I approach many different aspects of my life and how I handle the challenges that arise. Interestingly enough, I came to Meghann really having a specific idea that I needed to change ways about how I approached my business, and work-life balance, and how I handle stress, and I wanting to take some big concrete leaps in all those areas. But the work with Meghann is really inner work, deep work that can be painful at times but also create transformation, and from that work the exterior things shift. It’s not an overnight process, but the skills you learn from Meghann will travel with you past your time with her, and in all areas of your life - parenting, love, work, etc. If you can give yourself the gift of a coaching practice with her I would!! I also really liked how we met every two weeks, with practical, reflective homework in between, so from a cost perspective vs impact it was quite affordable in my opinion. And Meghann does a lot of personalized work for you outside of class, building a unique practice that suits your needs and the goals you want to accomplish. She’s truly passionate about the work and cares deeply and that comes through in the care and attention she puts into her practice with you.

I have never worked with a coach before, and I could not have been more happy with my experience. I feel like Meghann came into my life at the perfect time where I was ready to move forward. The format of the way we worked together with clear objectives while being a collaborative evolving process was exactly what I needed without even knowing what I was looking for. Meghann’s ability to show compassion and understanding while celebrating the progress I made is unlike any experience I’ve ever had and I feel so grateful to have been able to work with her.

Working with Meghann was one of the most enriching experiences that I’ve ever had. She had such an incredible way of creating a safe space for me to let down my guard and examine what was working in my life and what needed to change. She approached all of our meetings with so much respect and tenderness, but we were still able to laugh (a lot!). At 26 years old, I was unsure of how to approach sobriety, and Meghann helped me navigate this whole new world in a way that made me feel confident in my own self and my ability to continue growing after we had parted ways.

Meghann is an intuitive, kind, compassionate and fun coach. I appreciated our talks but also the follow up notes. Meghann helped me to identify how I can use my strengths to achieve my development objectives. She helped me realize that I can be sensitive to and cater to my needs, and that doing so is okay. I have and will continue many of the daily practices she gave me during our coaching sessions, which I’m sure will continue to help me both personally and professionally.

By working with Meghann, and the Seattle Coaching Collective, I had help and perspective from a professional guide who provided insight and new tools for me to have actionable impact on my behavior. These behavior and mental exercises have helped me through a professional development plateau and believe it will have a lasting positive impact on my future professional career.
— Sarah, Professional Development Client
Meghann is truly a wonderful coach. She is an amazing listener and responds to you based on what you said, not on a pre-planned agenda. Although, she always came to our session fully prepared and had obviously put a lot of thought into our time together. I would recommend her and would go back to here if needed.

Meghann has modeled for me what a powerful mentor relationship can be. For decades I have read books and more books, reflecting on personal growth, wanting to become a “better me.” Meghann taught me what it takes to get there - a kind of fierceness steeped in loving kindness. Her guidance is taking me deeper into myself, all with tenderness and empathy. I am living my days with more ease, more confidence and better focus. I can’t wait to spend another year working with her.
— Kathryn, Personal Growth Client
Meghann is such a wonderful coach. It has been a true blessing to know her and to learn from her. Since I began my coaching sessions I have started to really embrace my truest self with all of my flaws and focus on doing what is right for me. I have more confidence in my abilities, more trust in myself and I am truly able to take a step away from all the noise around me and sit in a place of compassion for myself.
— Harpreet, Personal Growth Client
Meghann was a wonderful guide in this self-discovery process. She was purposeful, kind, and mindful. I was so resistant to entering this type of self-reflection process but now cannot imagine going without it. Meghann was incredibly well prepared and shared relevant articles, videos, and materials that really furthered my understanding of myself and where I wanted to move.
— Liz, Personal Growth Client
I feel so grateful to have had the chance to do some coaching work with Meghann earlier this spring. She is an incredibly lovely person and a highly gifted coach. With her diverse background (U.S. Air Force Captain, program management, midwife, yoga instructor, mother), Meghann possesses a unique ability to ask extremely insightful questions and then compassionately hold space for you as the answers arise. She will guide you through powerful exercises that bring clarity and progress; she assigns practical, relevant reading/homework and holds her clients accountable while also understanding that they have full lives outside of the coaching experience. If you have the opportunity to experience Meghann’s coaching genius, don’t hesitate. You will be in very good hands, and you will get where you want to go.

This process was hard and so rewarding. I felt held in my process and held in the safe and sacred space to process and change things about my life that no longer serve me. I feel more grounded and whole after working with Meghann. I found her approach gentle yet firm in her ability to see me, my wounds and my strengths through the work. I am forever grateful and look forward to working with her more in the future.
