Executive Coaching 
Day is an excellent coach, and I am lucky to have had her in my corner for several years. In that time, I grew into progressively senior leadership roles, transferred to the USA for a COO role, then back to Canada where my career has continued to develop. Throughout these career events, Day’s guidance and support have been incredible. She finds the right balance between formal coaching techniques and personal experience to keep me motivated and on track – and she does not hesitate to tell you things that you might not want to hear! Her objective feedback and straightforward style have been invaluable in helping me build the career I want.
If you are looking for an executive coach to help you succeed, Day is a great choice.

Career Guidance
Day Merrill provided valuable career guidance to me over the past year through telephone, email and Skype. She encouraged me to step outside of my self-imposed boundaries, despite my fear-based reluctance and resistance. She steadfastly demonstrated a cheerful and professional demeanor that guided me in my successful negotiation with more than one client. Beyond the coaching, she and her partner, Michael Locey, offered specific and practical know-how with proposal writing that resulted in good contracts. I recommend 2BDetermined regardless of where you may be physically located.
