    Testimonials:

     

    One of the things that new coach’s realize in the first months of their training is that we didn’t know what we were talking about when we said that we’d been “coaching all of our lives.”  At the beginning, most of us thought that because people seek us out for advice and support that we were coaches, and that was somewhat true for me as I look back over my management career.

    However, what we learn at Coach University is that good listening, empathy, and good problem solving skills are just the beginning.  It is our ability to profoundly connect with our clients in a way that inspires them to make significant and lasting positive change that sets us apart from being consultants and cheerleaders.

    I believe wholeheartedly in the coaching process, which is why I continue on my own path of improvement with a mentor coach.  My mentor, Ken Abrams, helps me to improve my “who”, to be a better role model for my clients.  He also partners with me to design the coaching practice that I want.  What is really neat about that is that he models a “coach approach” while we do all of these things.

    Ken’s most important role is to help me to improve my ability to create discovery for my clients, be a better partner, and to help my clients grow exponentially.  As his apprentice, I am soaking up his wisdom like a sponge.  I aspire to his greatness.

    It shouldn’t be any surprise that I think I have the best mentor coach there is.  Ken has supported me when I’ve felt less than enough (yes, even coaches have a bad day.)  He’s kicked me in the seat of the pants when I’ve not worked smart.  (He still thinks I work too hard.)  He’s let me off the hook when my “hurty back” (my husband’s term) overtakes my stamina.

    Ken’s given me back my confidence, or maybe it is that he’s helped me to dig deep to find it.  As a result, most days I feel smart, confident, competent, brilliant, shiny, energetic, and excited to start the day.  Don’t you want that for yourself?<br>

    Carolann<br>

    “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.”
