SUCCESS STORIES
Following is a mere sampling of success stories of clients with whom I've had the privilege of coaching. The stories listed below are true, and each of these individuals are now living a new, balanced and prosperous lifestyle.
Joe and Mike, 2 partners of a High Tech Company
I coached 2 partners of a high tech company. They had been together for 14 years and got along marvelously. However, they were not clear about what the other partner was doing.
More specifically, they did not have a clear vision for themselves and for the company and each partner wanted to take the company in a different direction. In addition, they were not communicating on a daily basis, and I noticed confusion among the employees and team leaders, none of them knew where the company was heading. As a result of this confusion, I saw high employee turnover, low morale, low productivity, and duplication throughout the organization.
We worked with them to create a clear vision for the owners, the company, and their teams. Within each team, we worked with the leaders to coach each individual member. We helped them align their vision with that of the company. And direct all their energy and efforts towards the company’s goals. In 9 months, we reduced the workforce by 20% and increased the income by 33%.

Glen, a CEO of a Fortune 500 company
Glen, one of my clients, was a CEO of a Fortune 500 company for 7 years. Because of the technology recession, he was forced to lay off about 3700 employees. Most of these employees were highly qualified and loyal, and this task was excruciating; he became depressed and miserable. He came to me for help. By asking him the right questions, he realized that all his life his dream was to have his own business, be his own boss.
But 2 concerns were stopping him:
1) What business to get into? He had so many ideas which kept changing. He could not decide on a single one.
2) What if he failed?
I helped him clarify his vision, know exactly what he wanted, and set and attain his Soul Goals™. Now Glen owns a successful IT consulting firm, doubled his income, and he is happier than ever.

Sarah, Property Management Company
Sarah owned a property management company with 2 offices and 48 employees. For 2 years, the company was losing customers and not able to acquire new clients. She did not know exactly where she wanted the company to be in 5 years and beyond. Because of the lack of vision, each team leader was unclear and had their own agenda, pulling the company in different directions.
I worked with Sarah and her teams to have a clear vision, align their goals, and have everyone focus like a laser beam on one target and objective. In 11 months, the company income increased by 55% and the profit doubled.

Roy, Business & Litigation Lawyer
Roy is a business and litigation lawyer. A while back he was 40 pounds overweight, completely out of shape, and broke, yes broke. He would leave home at 5:30 a.m. in the morning, put in a fifteen-hour workday, returning home just in time to kiss his children good night and collapse in a big lump on his bed.
For all the time he was putting in, he was becoming more and more stressed out and less and less effective in his practice, and as you can imagine, his family wasn't too appreciative. As a matter of fact, his wife left home twice in six months.
He was smart enough to know that he needed assistance. He came to me for coaching. In 15 months, Roy was working three hours less a day, and was coaching his daughter's soccer and his son's baseball teams. His net income has increased by 29 percent, and his bank account has more zeroes than ever before. He exercises regularly, is 30 pounds lighter, and he and his wife have never been happier.

Philip, Mortgage Broker
Philip, a residential mortgage broker, was doing everything himself, from strategic planning to licking a stamp on an envelope. He was getting burnt out and frustrated because he was not as successful as he could be. I helped him to clarify his vision, set goals, make plans, and take proper actions. Then we recorded and analyzed Philip's time management and priority setting. I encouraged him to hire a part-time assistant that turned to full-time. Philip was able to reduce his workload by two hours a day and triple his income in 14 months.

Betty, Corporate Professional
Betty, a mother of two children 4 and 6 years old, was working her way up the corporate ladder when, without realizing it, she slowly forgot her family. Her father died of an illness whose symptoms she never noticed. Her husband almost left her. She became irritable and short-tempered in the office. I worked with her to set priorities, to learn how to say "no", and to delegate. Now she is spending quality time with her family, her company division doubled its output, and she is very pleasant to be around. Both her family and work associates are delighted to see the change.

Mimi, Banking Officer
Mimi, a bank officer, was promoted to head the private banking division. She was well educated but she had a hard time being assertive and giving instructions. She would rather do things herself than delegate them to someone else. I coached her to develop her leadership skills, to delegate more effectively, and to motivate and empower her staff.

Charles, High-Tech Business Owner
Charles, a 32-year-old high-tech business owner, was working over 100 hours a week for years. He had no time for his wife or 3-year old child or his friends. One day he fell asleep behind the wheel of his car and was almost killed in an accident. I coached him to systemize his business so it would not depend solely on him by developing policies, procedures and job descriptions, and hiring the right people for the right job.
