About Us

HELLO

We're Really Pleased To Meet You

The WYSIWYG Co. is the coaching partnership of Caroline Sugarman and Aaron Sugarman. We are members of the International Coach Federation (ICF), with more than 30 years of combined coaching and consulting experience.

We work with individuals and organizations, through a mix of one-on-one coaching and group work that builds leadership and communication skills and improves team performance.

We support our work with assessments that generate insight, highlight strengths and areas for development, and help organizations make better hiring decisions.

And basically… we really love what we do.

 

Testimonials

In all our years of doing this work, we haven’t yet found a “typical” client. We work with introverts and extroverts, artists, entrepreneurs, management, emerging leaders and seasoned execs, folks at the bottom, middle and top of the org chart (or not on the chart at all). Our organizational clients include non-profits, social enterprises, start-ups and well-established companies looking to up their game.

Our approach is values-based (Caroline’s include Collaboration, Joy & Pride; Aaron’s include Connection, Courage & Creativity) and holistic, meaning we deal with the whole person – intellect, emotions, relationships, and even (or perhaps especially) the physical body. We believe that who we are is as important as what we do.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We spend much of our life building narratives to explain why we can’t be this or that, why we should accept this state or that, why we must self-limit our dreams. Caroline gets beneath decades of history to help clarify decision points, move to a more fulfilled place in life, and realize untapped potential.

WYSIWYG helps you to clearly see who you are, what you are capable of, and what is important in life.
— Entrepreneur
I never wanted to have a coach - couldn't possibly fit it into my already overloaded schedule. Then WYSIWYG started working with us. In short order, they saved our business. A year later, I cannot wait for our sessions. Their ability to have us shift perspective, or delve deeper, has made what we do fun again.

Aaron pushed me to engage. More than just talk, it gave me a game plan for dealing with the challenges in my life.

Such clarity and insight. That's been invaluable.

The turnaround I led here was done with the active support of a dynamic duo – Caroline & Aaron Sugarman. Their support has allowed me to save a charity and double its impact in two years; I suspect you could get similar benefits.

Caroline just glows with an enthusiasm and understanding that makes me feel like - no matter what - I will accomplish something.

Everyone in our company was working so hard that we were exhausted. WYSIWYG was able to spot the things that had us on a treadmill to nowhere. We're no longer stuck - we’re moving forward again.
— Actor/Producer
Thanks for the grease to get my gears moving towards my fullest potential.
— CEO
I learned that I don't have to be bound by who I have been, or by what others expect. Through simple offers, simple requests, things can change radically.
