Testimonials
“I came to the coaching relationship with a lot of issues, including my marriage and my overall self-worth. John helped me understand what I was and wasn’t responsible for, and what I could do to improve them. I couldn’t have asked for a better life coach, and trust me, I searched for a long time.”
– Stephanie M., Preschool Teacher, Scottsdale, AZ
“From the time we got started, I shared my immediate concerns about life coaching. John gave me immediate feedback to my questions and helped me realize the value that life coaching can provide to my life. His powerful questioning techniques prompted me to think about the underlying elements of my problems, and then to work on solutions for such problems. Thinking back, it was actually one of his questions that became the turning point for when my life started to turn around. Overall, the experience was engaging, useful and very fruitful.”
– Robert L., Attorney, Scottsdale, AZ
“I was genuinely surprised about John’s approach – I expected a lot of flowery language about hopes and dreams and my feelings, and what I got was a down-to-earth, sincere coach who simply helped me find out what wasn’t working, and then helped me fix it. Thanks John for both surprising and exceeding my expectations about life coaching.”
– Latonya D., Homemaker, Phoenix, AZ
“John is an excellent life coach and helped to accelerate my career in a positive and lucrative direction. He has a fantastic ability to hone in on underlying issues and helped me realize the best direction to head in order to achieve my short term and long term goals. He is very patient, understanding, and has a great demeanor. I initially chose John due to the free initial consultation since I was not familiar with life coaching, but I immediately knew that he would be able to guide me in the right direction toward the path of a successful job future. His office is a very comfortable, relaxed, and private environment in a convenient location. As an independent contractor, I struggled with the necessary structure and accountability I needed each day to truly achieve everything I set out to do, and John has helped develop that into my daily work routine and I couldn’t be more thankful!”
– Kelly G., Real Estate Agent, Scottsdale, AZ
“The coaching interactions I had with John helped me to acknowledge myself for confronting my personal challenges, and more importantly helped me to face such challenges even though there was anxiety and apprehension present. The coaching relationship brought self-awareness around the core areas of my life, and allowed me to understand the reasons for my anxiety. This in turn helped me to uncover the hidden fears I had locked away, and to look at ways to overcome them.”
