Client Testimonials

"I have big dreams, but they often stayed dreams until I started working with Meredith at MKO Strategies. Seeking clarity about the next steps for my small business, I found invaluable business consulting that provided the push I needed to move toward those bigger visions.  

Through her professional coaching, Meredith helped me recognize the value in aspects of my business that I had always avoided—the backend work, goal-setting, and tracking. Remarkably, she made me enjoy the process! Meredith excels at analyzing what’s needed and developing systems that make progress feel realistic and achievable.  

Working with Meredith feels like having a thoughtful partner who not only cheers you on but also keeps you accountable to your goals. Thanks to our collaborative effort, I’ve set realistic goals that challenge me to step outside my comfort zone. The tools I gained continue to support my personal growth and enrich my client experiences."

—Emily B., Business Owner

"I’ve had the privilege of working with Meredith both as a colleague and more recently in her role as a consultant. Meredith has an exceptional ability to understand goals, identify opportunities, anticipate risks, and map and standardize processes—even when she’s unfamiliar with the subject matter or software being implemented.

Most recently, Meredith helped our organization map a complex CapEx process that lacked clear ownership and approval workflows across multiple technology platforms. She meticulously documented the current process, identified redundancies, and proposed improvements that streamlined workflows. Her recommendations included both short-term and long-term strategies with clear timelines and actionable steps.

Meredith’s expertise, strategic thinking, and ability to bring clarity to complex challenges make her an invaluable partner for any organization.”

—Anna L., Senior Project Manager

"I have had the pleasure of working with Meredith for more than seven years in the realm of business consulting. She possesses a rare ability to quickly decipher complex processes, ask the right questions, and effectively document not only existing workflows but also the bottlenecks that hinder efficiency.

When I needed an expert to help document and analyze a series of business processes, aiming to envision a better future and implement meaningful improvements, Meredith was the first person I called. Her talents extend across various departments and functions, consistently delivering thoughtful, practical solutions that enhance client experiences.

Meredith exemplifies professionalism—she is collaborative, communicative, and reliable. She consistently delivers on time and on budget while maintaining a calm, solutions-oriented approach that reflects her expertise in professional coaching."

—Easther L., SVP Corporate Operations

"The most meaningful part of working with Meredith in her professional coaching sessions was feeling that she genuinely cared about helping me find a path I’m excited about.

I came to our sessions feeling uncertain about what direction to take next. I had ideas about what I liked, but I didn’t know how those interests could translate into real career options. Meredith listened closely and took the time to truly understand me, leveraging her expertise in business consulting. She took a short list of things I enjoy and curated thoughtful possibilities I hadn’t even considered.

After our time together, I gained:

• Clarity about career paths that align with my strengths and interests

• Hope and motivation for what’s possible

• The reminder that even when I feel stuck, there are always steps forward

I left feeling lighter, more confident, and ready to take action, which is a testament to the impactful client experiences offered by Meredith."

"Meredith offers an amazing service that has helped me feel confident in uncertain times.

If you want help preparing for a new career change, what to do after earning your degree, or just how to make the most of your current working situation, Meredith is an incredible resource."

—Ryan B., Career Client

"The most helpful part of working with Meredith was gaining tools that helped me build greater emotional fortitude. It’s easy to overlook how growth and change in life can affect how we feel, but Meredith’s calm and welcoming nature helped me understand that and learn how to better recognize, name, and work through my emotions.

Through this work, I’ve become more regulated, determined, and focused while still allowing myself to be human. It helped me reconnect with my core self and feel empowered by who I am."

—Michael H., Personal Development Client

"After retiring a couple of years ago and navigating several life changes, I found myself feeling unsure of what came next and weighed down by the heaviness of the world around me.

Meredith helped me reconnect with a sense of purpose and possibility. I now feel re-energized, more focused, and excited about what’s ahead."
