What Our Clients Say

Trusted by business leaders across industries

Jill C.

VP, People Management at EIS

5/5
“Working with Jeff has motivated me to evolve in every area of my business and life. Almost immediately he helped me uncover areas for improvement at work, including the creation of a KPI dashboard, challenging me to focus on the most important metrics, increasing productivity and performance.”

Greg J.

CEO and Founder, Marketing Tech Agency

5/5
When my company was acquired, I found myself juggling a brand-new set of expectations from incoming leadership while trying to figure out what was next for me personally and professionally. Working with Jeff was exactly what I needed — he helped me cut through the noise, navigate the politics, and build a plan that not only kept my new bosses happy but made sure I didn’t lose sight of my own growth and balance. He’s not just a coach — he’s the steady, clear-eyed partner every leader wishes they had during big transitions.”

J. S.

CEO, Multinational Corporation

5/5

“The work we did together was foundational to me getting clear on my values and goals. Perhaps you don’t want every leader to quit their job after working with you, but I choose to frame it as helping me find courage to pursue my true vision for myself! It so happened that for me that vision was not in alignment with where I was working.”
