Testimonials

"Even from my very first session with Excelleration's Anna Rappaport I came away with a clear and doable road map on how to achieve a goal I'd previously thought impossible! I could physically feel the dissolving of limiting thoughts and tight places in my body. Fear sometimes still arises that I won't be able to see the process through, but then I remember that I'm no longer doing it alone! With Anna's ongoing support and insights, there has emerged a newfound self-confidence and excitement for life!"

"After 8 years at the same organization, I accepted a new position with a consulting firm; which was a breakthrough in itself.  The pay package I accepted was satisfactory but I wished for more.  Ordinarily, I'd accept what was offered me, but it was through Anna's coaching that I went back to my new employer and renegotiated for more money and I got it."

"Anna, I want to acknowledge you for your innate ability to get to the heart of the matter in a way that truly makes a difference for me on our coaching calls…and in such a short amount of time. Every coaching call results in a clear outcome and provides clarity where it was missing. Even when I try to "skate" around an issue, your approach brings me back to the matter at hand and you are committed that I leave the call with the power and freedom to move forward in my life. My communications in my daily interactions with people have improved greatly and I am now willing to take risks and ask for what I want with ease and a new sense of freedom. And all this was accomplished inside the supportive, non-judgmental environment you have provided. I truly believe this is your calling in life and your passion for making a difference for people shows! Not all coaches are as committed to their clients getting results time and time again like you are. So, thank you!"

"In her coaching, Anna was always a stand for me to be my best self. With grace, she pushed me to move past the traps that usually stop me and see what was possible for me. With her encouragement, I achieved breakthroughs in both my personal and professional life, with ease."

"Anna was my coach for a 3 1/2 month program, during which we spoke at least once a week.  She supported me in my efforts to make a difference in the world, and she did so with such gentle rigor and insight.  When she shared her own life with me, Anna helped me see my life through a new paradigm. It's a paradigm that is empowering and inspiring, with no guilt or blame for just being human.   Anna's generosity and understanding makes her an outstanding coach and an uplifting presence in my life."

"There’s a lot of talk about transformation, paradigm-shifts, and whatever other term you want to throw in, but what use is any of that unless you really feel it deeply? So deeply in fact, that you can come back to it, again and again. Negative thoughts brought me down for a long time, but Anna’s coaching gets straight to the core, as if she’s giving you back to yourself."

Robert Richman

"Anna's coaching enabled me to clear the stress and worry from my thinking and replace it with openness, listening and good planning. In a time of major transition at my nonprofit, I have been able to effectively galvanize the Board of Directors, hire my successor, and more than double our fundraising in the last six months—while planning the sabbatical I've always dreamed of."
