"Having a coach has helped me to put my personal and work life into perspective. During our one hour conversations I share issues or the need for creative problem solving. Having a coach allows me to reflect on possible means of addressing a problem, concern or creating a goal. Before the end of our session I always come away with my personal “to do” list. It helps me to target areas where I can improve, or things that I can do to make a difference in what I am trying to accomplish, be more engaged in my place of work, and gives me personal satisfaction. As a result of our sessions, I have held myself more accountable, because I know in two weeks’ time I will be reporting back to my coach. It’s terrific! What I have accomplished since our sessions began is nothing short of amazing."

"I have been a nurse for 20 years. When I came to the realization that my professional career needed to take a different course but didn't really know how to effect that change, I reached out to Kent and am extremely pleased with the results of our coaching sessions. He helped me see clearly the path forward and provided the all important sounding board from which I was able to develop the framework for future endeavors. Kent created a very safe and welcoming environment for me to explore options while helping me develop a clear focus. When called upon, he shared personal experiences that helped provide a fresh perspective. I would certainly recommend Kent to anyone motivated to change their behaviour and focus on their leadership potential."

"Your sense of humour, balanced with insight provides us at times with a well placed giggle, at other times thought-provoking comments. Or both."

"I appreciate your sense of humour and the empathy you feel for others." Mary, Ontario, Canada
"Working with you helped me to realize that applying for positions that I was not qualified for encouraged a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure, disappointment and negative outcomes rather than positive ones. After our session, I saw many job postings that I did not apply for because I knew that I would not get them and instead focused on my strengths of which I have many. Throughout this, you were amazingly positive, helpful and supportive."
H, Toronto, Canada
"I cannot remember life before being coached by Kent. He has somehow managed to help me turn off the constantly running faucet which was my past negative points of view about myself and my imagined deficits...those streams of relentlessly negative ways of thinking caused some severe erosion to my happiness in everyday living. Kent’s ways of effecting these life-changes to my thinking and my projections for my future, are so subtle as to be nearly inconspicuous. I’ve had to replay several of our many conversations and emails to get a handle on how and at which points in our many sessions my store of negative thinking vanished, permanently. Eventually, without any one word, or any single sentence or conversation to be pin-pointed as a “corner turned,” I started breathing fully and deeply again, expecting my future to be better than I could ever, previously, have thought it. I owe Kent, big-time. I know I’ve changed, It feels so organic, and my decision-making skills have more heft. I don’t doubt my “gut” inclinations nearly as frequently as before, and it’s resulted in a marvelously settled and confident me. Thanks, Kent."
