About Metamorphosis Coaching
Our Mission
Welcome!
The mission of Metamorphosis Coaching and Consulting is to provide transformation for leaders through exquisite client support and service.
From newly promoted to senior level, we create GREAT leaders. Together, we integrate your vision with a strategy to elevate your performance. We do this by focusing upon growth across the following areas:
* Productivity
* Thriving relationships at work, home and everywhere in between
* Happiness and Well-Being
Our specific strategies draw from a blend of positive and emotional intelligence. Positive Intelligence builds the foundation to intercept ways we can hijack ourselves while leveraging strengths in a balanced way. Emotional intelligence is the “secret sauce” in creating great leaders across 15 different skills; we typically focus upon one or two skills at a time. We leverage our experience in education, organizational psychology and music to bring out the best, most inspirational leader in you!
If you are looking for a strategic thought partner to help you unleash your potential, please explore our site and schedule a complimentary strategy session now!

Hear What Others Are Saying
"The one-on-one exchange of ideas, methods, and viewpoints were most beneficial to me. Doni is well-prepared. Her knowledge and care are obvious in her presentation. She’s a real pro." - P. Bondi - Bonita Springs, FL
"I had two areas in mind (career and dissertation) and I was not disappointed by the outcome. I was given the leeway to set goals with gentle nudging from Dr. Landefeld and open-ended questions to move me forward. The BAM and strengths list has been invaluable to me. I was able to reach my goals of developing a good representation of what I have to offer to potential employees for my career change. I was also able to have a sounding board for my dissertation frustrations and run my ideas by Dr. Landefeld. She also offered advice here and there about possible solutions without being overbearing and the final decisions were left to me. I am grateful for the experience and I would definitely recommend Metamorphosis Coaching, LLC to my family and friends!" - E.J. - Missouri City, TX
