Stories of Growth, Clarity, and Change

Real experiences from clients who chose to better understand themselves, navigate change, and move forward with greater intention. Each story reflects a different starting point. But all have common threads of gaining clarity, building self-trust, and making meaningful shifts in how they live and lead.

I was in a time of great transition and was filled with fear, self-doubt, and anxiety. I was trying to do too much on my own. Working with Brad, I discovered I wasn't as lost as I thought myself to be. I was closing myself off from receiving love and support, and not prioritizing my needs and the things that brought me joy. Now, my self-care has improved. I have rearranged my priorities to reflect who I truly am, what my heart wants, and what I value. I'm also quicker to ask for help and allow it in. I trust life more.

After ending a relationship, I was facing some significant life changes, including a new city and changing jobs. I was anxious about all the decisions and the changes they would bring. At times it felt overwhelming. Working with Brad, I realized my decisions would improve the quality of my life and create positive options for the future. Now I've established my priorities and created concrete plans, which I've already put into action. I'm clear and confident with my decisions, and as a result, I feel excited about the changes I'm making!

Brad allowed me to sound out situations and ideas before I put them into action. He made valuable suggestions that have allowed me to redefine my style of leadership. His collaborative and insightful coaching style gave me confidence in my own knowledge and experience. And that allowed me to move forward without hesitation. His integrity around confidentiality made me comfortable being fully transparent, which facilitated deep work on the issues I brought to the table.

I began working with Brad to focus my mission and vision and returned to him for mentor coaching. As always, Brad went above and beyond my expectations. I appreciated the chance to step away from trying to “do it right” and learn to trust that my intuition, my style as a coach, and my deep commitment to my clients are what matter. Brad was a constant reminder that I do good work, while also guiding me through areas of potential growth and improvement. The balance of both helped me continue to move forward with confidence.

Brad walked with me through the challenges I had in front of me. He didn't solve my problems, but he helped me find the solutions I needed to address them. He held a mirror up to me so I could see how I was leading or not and where I needed to improve. Brad supported me to challenge the barriers I had created to my own success. It was eye-opening and empowering!

Brad is one of the gifted and giving individuals that helped me bring a positive self-image back into focus. At a time when rock bottom threatened to be more than a touch-point, he stood by me, coaching me to see how I could recover. After a series of brutal losses, I was spiraling into despair. He spoke clearly and quietly to encourage me into my own discovery. To think solutions. To cling to and re-run every positivity, over and over, as intensely as I was clutching the pain. I'm on my feet, now. For now. With a clear understanding that support, a spectrum of it, including highly trained and intuitive professional help, is a gift that everyone can give themselves in the journey to finding real moments of peace and progress for the true you.
