Here is what our clients have said:
"Cornelia is a highly aware and business savvy coach. No matter the topic I brought to the table Cornelia was always able to offer insights and perspectives that were tremendously helpful. My coaching experience has been invaluable especially at this stage of growth for our organization and for me personally. I have rekindled a confidence in my own abilities and have a keen awareness of where I am prone to struggle. I feel more confident in my leadership abilities and gained a lot of great insight. You have a wide spectrum and depth of knowledge in so many fields that I was always excited for our meetings. You Rock!"
- Timothy Drake, CEO of Primitive Pursuits, Ithaca, NY
"Because of my work with Cornelia I have empowered myself to set boundaries and focus on what is important to me. Because of my work towards strengthening my leadership skills and gaining confidence I have been able to make significant strides towards my goals. Cornelia’s words hang over my desk as a constant reminder of the direction I strive to go."
- Margaret Ameel, Building Lead, Senior Institute, University Prep High School, Detroit, MI
"I have known Cornelia for a few years, but was first exposed to her teachings when she came to speak to our employee resource group, at HP, about personal branding. During the time that I have know her, she has always provided me with bits of good advice. However, the advice that I received from her presentations were life changing. I got so much value from her presentations that I worked with a group of employees and managers to bring Cornelia back to work with us several times in the future. She taught us so much about leadership, influence and career management. About a year ago I attended her workshop, ‘Spend Your Day Your Way’. The information that I received in the workshop helped to reshape the way that I viewed work and life in general. As a result of the session I put together a plan that would allow me to achieve my career and life goals and to positively position myself in the event of a company downsizing. Part of my plan included a strategy to stay in my current position long enough to finish my Master’s Degree and to complete 2 security certifications. Praise God, I was able to complete everything in the desired timeframe. Although I was recently affected by my company’s downsizing effort, I view this occurrence as a positive. I am on track to achieving the goals that I put in place after attending the ‘Spend Your Day Your Way’ seminar. I can take a little breather, recoup, and get recharged as I move into the next phase. God is great!! I know that I would not be in this place had I not put a plan in place with Cornelia in July of 09. Thanks for everything!"
- Melvin Taylor, Security Officer at Hewlett-Packard, Southfield, MI
"I contacted 3C Consulting to support one of our key managers. As a result of the work coach Kathy Igoe did, employee relations and communication are much improved as witnessed by a significant decrease in complaints and union grievances. The productivity of the team increased and employee morale. We are quite pleased with the work and results. Both Kathy and Lead Coach Cornelia Shipley were easy to work with and very accommodating to our requests and needs. We will not hesistate to call on 3C Consulting again."
- Doris Portis, HR Business Consultant Detroit Medical Center, Southfield, MI
"It (Coaching) gave me insight on how others saw me and the opportunity to change those behaviors and to grow as a leader. I was able to focus on developing the leader I want to be vs. focusing on what others might want to change about me."
- Sandy Brady Supervisor Blue Care Network, Southfield, MI
"As a result of working with Milt as my coach is my comfort level with approaching my new team members, especially my peers to seek out information that will assist me with doing my job effectively and efficiently. I felt an urgency to seek to understand as much as possible in a short period of time about how our departments impact each others, and what the expectations are from each area. Although my boss also assisted me with providing the foundation related to what occurred in each of her departments, talking through with Milt ways to approach my peers and question processes was a tremendous assistance to me in order for me to get up to speed quickly. I was able to share my thoughts, my challenges and my successes in an open exchange. I did not feel judged by my coach, because he allowed me time to talk through my thoughts and probed me as to how I could best handle situations. I think starting out with individual coaches assisted us with coming together as a team and speaking comfortably with each other about our expectations of our staff, each other and our boss. I appreciated the experience and feel that although I am new to this team we are all working toward the same goal of getting to know each other, how best to work with our staff, and how we can assist each other by working together to meet our organizations’ goals."
- Cynthia McDonald Manager Blue Care Network
"I wish I could put Cornelia in a box and take her home with me. Coaching <with Cornelia> has opened my mind to exploring the answers to a set of questions about who I am as a leader and how I affect others. I am more introspective and more sensitive to the impact that I have on others.The most significant change for me has been my ability to look internally for the motivations behind my actions and behaviors and to understand how my actions and behaviors contribute to overall team performance. Unlike other training courses, this coaching experience has provided me with the ability to refocus my "learnings" from implementing a specific defined methodology for leadership to asking simple questions focusing on motivation and behavior outcomes. "
- Barbara Derian Senior Director, Blue Care Network Southfield, MI
"Without the strategic help my consultant provided, we would not have raised the backing we needed for our most recent venture. As a result of their work we have expanded our contract for them to provide all of our Human Resource and Organization Development needs. We look forward to a long and prosperous future with 3C as our strategic partner."
- Tanya Davis, CEO of Ice Media Group, Nashville, TN
"Unbiased thoughts and ideas that have moved me toward the peace I’d longed for…I increased my income 100% within 3 months of working with Cornelia…She’s the best!"
- Chad Gibbs, Financial Planner, Edward Jones
"I had considered using a coach several times over a two-year period. When I found myself seeking a new career direction, I knew it was time. I had met several coaches who offered their services, but Kathy Igoe stood out even before I started working with her. Kathy’s guidance and grounding were a true catalyst for me. She suggested exercises and books that challenged my thinking and helped me explore myself. I was impressed by the breadth of resources she recommended. She challenged me to live in the moment. Moreover, she gave me tools to use on my own and apply in my own life. And she did all of this with grace and compassion. Working with Kathy was one of the best investments I have made in myself since going to college."
- Todd J. List, Owner, Maxim650, Northville, MI

"3C Consulting helped us with our hiring process and made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. Their dedication to excellence and understanding of State Employment laws was highly fascinating and we felt that we were able to offer each candidate a fair chance at the position. 3C Consulting also assisted in the interview process and completely helped us feel at ease talking with the applicants and allowed them to be relaxed and comfortable in a normally intense situation. We plan on doing all of our future HR contracting through 3C Consulting and recommend you do the same."
- Will Bearyman, Director of Operations, SilverHook Studios, Atlanta, GA
"I wanted to thank you for the lesson in authenticity. Of the many benefits of your coaching, that one has taken me farthest. I can always tell the truth of my thinking by checking in at that level; very helpful. My new project is online and will be launching in a few weeks (http://www.parindigene.com). It’s a direct result of your coaching…I came to coaching, a new experience for me, with no expectations but an insistence that it not waste my time. Cornelia made it clear that the process was mine, that both the goals and the terms of engagement would be set by me, and that my effort and nothing else would determine the results. She listened well, asked great questions, and pushed back gently yet firmly as necessary to keep me accountable to myself. She was desirous of my success but not attached to it, which gave me the freedom and sense of responsibility to change the objectives and process as we went along. I accepted her challenge, and the results have been phenomenal! I’ve undergone a fairly drastic transition in my business, but I’ve gained a heightened level of satisfaction with my career, and my personal life has improved as a result. To those who are truly ready to own your life’s work, I recommend Cornelia Shipley without qualification. Go for it!"- Sonja Ebron, CEO, blackEnergy, Atlanta, GA, Founder, Parindigene.com
"The contrasts between Kathy & Cornelia make for the most dynamic experience. Between the two, you can expect organized leadership, humor, gentle listening, and tough love. They showed us how close we already were to our goals! They know what they are doing!"
- T. Ballou, Director, One Voice Chorus

- 2008 International Detroit Black Expo Workshop Participant, Detroit, MI
"Kind, professional, knowledgeable and very good at her job. I thought coaching was just about someone giving you lists of routine activities to do to get ahead in your business and your life. Instead, Cornelia led me to re-identify my direction in life and business and then focus on how I can shift my paradigms to achieve all I want."
- Bridget Stanners, Mary Kay Consultant
