“Aimee was my Executive Coach when I was a Senior Vice President with a prominent fragrance, cosmetic and skin care developer and manufacturer. She helped chart our way while we were on an extensive and extraordinary journey towards servitude leadership. With Aimee’s significant assistance and guidance, we were able to transform into a high-performance leadership team. Along the way, amazing creativity and productivity was unleashed in our entire organization. We were able to realize what was just a dream. Aimee challenged me to grow as a leader by journeying beyond the borders of my comfort zone. This was not easy for me to do, but being the great coach she is, she was there to support, motivate and challenge me. Without a doubt, this was the pinnacle of my thirty-five-year career. My only regret was that I hadn’t met Aimee many years earlier.” Peter McHale
