The Valiant Group

I worked with Annette for about 4 months and was amazed at how insightful she was. She identified several cognitive adjustments that I needed to make in order to be able to communicate more authentically and with a more grounded presence especially in the face of conflicts. She also helped me get more in touch with my own feelings — both in my heart and in my body. I am now much more aware of how I am reacting to situations. This awareness, along with the somatic and cognitive techniques that I learned from her continue to make a big difference in how confident I am and how effectively I can communicate especially at work.
I am very lucky to have gotten to know Annette not only as my coach but as a warm, caring and wise person in my life.

Annette did a fantastic job working with me on leadership/​executive presence etc. A lot of her work helped me get through my first 30 days in a high powered role in a confident, assertive fashion. She also excels in teaching the right way to communicate in different settings.
I ran into a tough personal situation (unrelated to my work) and Annette was very flexible in working through it and even volunteered to help counsel me through it (this was outside the scope of our engagement).
I highly recommend working with Annette if you want to see remarkable professional growth.

I love Annette! So where shall I begin?
Underneath all of her many qualities is her heart of gold which I’m touched by with each interaction. I appreciate her generosity of time and support. When I ask questions, I enjoy how clear, honest, and quick her responses are whether they be on the phone or by email. Also, there hasn’t been a topic I’ve brought to her where she hasn’t contributed to my clarity. Last but not least, I’ve enjoyed how fun it’s been to «play» with her!
Annette is a real human being who has cheered me on, guided me, and loved me.
Thank you, my dear friend.

After a detailed search for a career coach in the Bay Area I discovered Annette and The Valiant Group. After our introduction session I knew she was a perfect fit, both from her expertise but also her personality.
Through our work I was able to dive deep in self discovery. Her holistic approach allowed me to focus on my career objectives in partnership with my personal objectives; much more effective than an isolated approach. Additionally, Annette is incredibly knowledgeable and provided endless resources and tools for me to utilize beyond our discussions.
Annette comes with my highest recommendations.

Working with Annette was the opening that I needed to begin further exploration and personal development in my life. I believe that her coaching gave me the foundation to get healthier and go out and do somatic work and continue my life long journey of growth from a more conscious place. Annette is a truly compassionate and intuitive coach and has an innate talent for insight that few coaches possess. Valiant Group is an apt name for her coaching business because Annette is truly not afraid of anything and will gently guide you into living a life that is less fearful and more authentic. She continues her own self development so she can be more resourceful and available for her clients, and walks her talk, something that is quite rare these days. If you have some really tough issues and want to hire the best then I would highly recommend Annette.

I cannot recommend Annette Segal enough, to all those who are looking for apersonal coach.
Annette was my coach for one year, I came to Annette at a time when I was very unhappy in my career and very held back in my relationships.
Over the course of the next year, and with our conversation during bi-​weekly one on one sessions and throughthe exercises, practices and readings she assigned me, I have learned so much about myself and have become so much better able to respond appropriately andwith authenticityto what the world brings to me, instead of reacting based on obsolete patterns that weren’t helpful, or worse, that were self-​sabotaging.
My work with Annette has helped me clarify what has been holding me backand has given me the strength and the tools to address and respond appropriately to any new issue that I uncover and have the courage to tackle. Her deep insight and experience is a tremendous help for all those who are looking for more out of life.
Thepositive influence from her coaching is impacting every aspects of my life evennow that I have finished my program with her. I am very grateful for how far I’ve come with her guidance andso excited aboutmy personaljourney ahead.

I worked with Annette one-​on-​one and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and, most importantly, effective.
Annette uses a tailor-​fit, holistic approach that addresses your concerns and helps guide you to a better understanding of what obstacles/​challenges are keeping you in a rut. The result is better self-​awareness, increased confidence, a clearer vision of what you want, and the tools to get to where you want to be.
I gained invaluable insight into what was weighing me down, and I learned techniques that I have been using daily ever since working with Annette. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that my work with her changed my life.
If you are thinking about giving coaching a try, Annette is the one to contact.

I have participated in both Annette’s «Mastermind Group» and one of her coaching circles — both were tremendously helpful to me! In particular, I recommend her coaching circles and one-​on-​one coaching as they provide an amazing opportunity for self-​reflection and deep personal learning and growth. Annette’s style is a perfect fit for me — she is honest, direct, and clear with her questions, insights, and feedback. More than once she has asked me THE question I needed to hear and answer in order to move forward. She is intuitive, authentic, and present in a way that is quite hard to find in today’s rapid-​fire speed-​racer culture.
