    Testimonials

    "Ken's work has been dramatic in keeping me focused, building my professionalism and sense of mastery, and in showing me how events which seem unrelated and challenging nevertheless are moving me forward to my goals for a most bodacious future. " R.R. -Founder of the Institute for Creative Solutions

    "My investment in coaching has been returned over and over again. I seem to have more free time, more patience and a forward direction. My family thanks you. My business clients thank you. My employees thank you. I guess I'm just an all-around great guy now. Thanks,Ken." D.S. General Contractor

    "He has been a great asset to my business and has taught me a great deal from his own experiences. I have been specifically impressed with the way Ken is able to creatively clarify thoughts and ideas. His style is very straightforward and simple. He has shown an ability to gently guide me through tough challenges as well as being able to empower me to have the courage make my own leaps and bounds. " T.H. - Coach

    Testimonials:

    “Ken has provided insight and direction on various areas of my professional growth. The top three areas where we have focused the most have been in the areas of leading the team, communication strategies, and an action plan to create an environment of empowerment for the team, while defining the boundaries of organization. “ Dr. C.H.

     

    “I think Ken's great gift as a Coach is his capacity to balance contradictions:  to laugh    together while conveying the deepest lessons; to make the client feel safe while facing the biggest challenges; to point out growth and joy at the places others would consider "stuck".  Ken is fun and profound, full of stories and metaphors and his utter commitment to the committed client's growth is evident in every interaction. “R.E.  Wachovia Bank

     

    “For me, there is a kind of respect that Ken offers me that I do not always find in other coaches, and which, for me, models the professional and human being that I aspire to   become. Ken fully allows people to choose their paths for themselves. By this, I mean that he does not persuade to his point of view, does not judge, but does let people make the choices that  they make - even when he can see that they are walking into a lesson rather than walking into what they say they want.  As a journeyman myself, still sometimes wanting more for my customers and clients than they want for themselves, this kind of profound respect for other people is a great lesson.”
