Embodying an Unwavering Commitment to Change
About Wendy Edelstein, PCC, CPCC, MA
Wendy Edelstein partners with leaders who are ready to expand their impact—without burning out in the process. Her coaching cuts through the noise to address the internal obstacles that quietly limit performance, decision-making, and fulfillment at the highest levels.
Wendy's path to coaching was shaped by a career-long inquiry into human potential and change. After a decade in communications —spanning a national magazine, a tech startup, and a leading public university—she recognized that her deepest work lay in developing people, not content. In 2014, she trained at CTI (the Co-Active Training Institute), the first coach training programs to be certified by the International Coach Federation, and hasn't looked back.
Since 2017, Wendy has extended her commitment to impact beyond the boardroom, volunteering as a pro bono coach for emerging women leaders through the Women's Impact Alliance.
Her core conviction: every leader has untapped capacity. The work is removing what's in the way.
My Approach to Coaching
My coaching will help you enhance your leadership skills, benefitting not only you but also your team and your organization.
Developing greater emotional intelligence, cultivating resilience, and honing your interpersonal skills will help you lead with greater impact and influence—and keep stress and overwhelm at manageable levels.
What brings a client to coaching? While every client is unique, common challenges include a desire to create work/life balance, develop teams, manage challenging direct reports, work strategically, and transition successfully to a new role. Or a client might be weighing a decision. I help them find the way that best meets their needs when they're at a challenging crossroads.
As your coach, I will hold you accountable and encourage you to move out of your comfort zone to gain insights, and cultivate new habits and ways of being that lead to the outcomes you want. I believe that choosing and being with discomfort and trying new things leads to increased confidence.
My clients have described me as perceptive, direct, intuitive, encouraging, truthful, kind, and collaborative. I'm passionate about developing greater capacity, resourcefulness, and awareness in clients in the service of creating meaningful change.
About Changeover Coaching
What is a changeover? And why did I choose that as the name of my business?
Changeover is a tennis term. And I’m a huge tennis fan. A changeover occurs after the third game of a tennis match and every two games thereafter.
During changeovers, players get the opportunity to sit down, rehydrate, and towel off. If you’re winning, that’s probably all that you’re doing. If you’re losing, a changeover is an opportunity to evaluate whether your game plan needs tweaking or if your execution is off. From there you decide what adjustments to make.
Even if you’re not following the pro tennis tours, I hope the word changeover suggests the possibility of transformation. My goal for you is to grow and profoundly change through our work together.
