Kevin has a warm, intuitive and direct style of coaching. He is very present and responsive in the moment.  This means Kevin is able to listen deeply and hear
what lies under the surface, what is most important and who the client is as a person.   I also benefited from Kevin's willingness to share his
insights and observations   Kevin is especially good at cultivating a great coach - client relationship, whilst also maintaining a strong professional focus
and getting the work done... I got real clarity on what I bring as a [professinal], who my ideal clients are and created a strategy for effective networking.  We also spent some time coaching about how I can most effectively upgrade my website.  I gained a lot of clarity, insights and identified clear action steps from my coaching sessions with Kevin.

"When I first thought about being coached using the 5 Friends tool, I was very excited.  As a married mother of four growing children, 5 Friends has been invaluable. This is an important instrument to have in everyday life and I will teach it to my children.  

I have always wanted to get rid of “I cannot be financially successful.” I wondered how such a strong Self-Limiting Belief could be eradicated. At the beginning, the definitions of belief versus knowledge were very helpful. As we went along, I was happy and relieved to speak about events in my life that had caused me so much emotional trauma. Being “a man” in my family was the only opportunity for success as I had perceived it.  I was surprised to see how some of my life experiences had given me such a deep rooted sense of myself and at the same time were not so hard to let go of.  I know longer feel bogged down by the self-limiting baggage of the past.

It was great to deal with my perceptions in an objective way. I was especially surprised with Kevin as a coach, to see how kind and gentle he was. At the end, without giving it away, there is a moment of great compassion and forgiveness that I will hold onto forever. Kevin was that messenger for me. I have now moved on to being successful every day."

"Kevin is a phenomenal coach."
Adam Curtin, President, AJC Construction Services

"I have known and been coached by Kevin for over 20 years.  He is honorable, challenging and has a unique way of engaging me that just helps me drop my defenses and see the world...my world.  On top of that, he is just "fun to be with".  In fact, he's just funny...has a great sense of humor.  He has inspired me to be joyful, assisted me in growing my business in 2010 (near 200%) and helped me develop a true vision.  Wow!  The vision statement just blew me away!  Even my wife said, "I am so thankful WE have Kevin in your life!"
Hugh Borthwick, President HJB Benefits, California

"I am one of those people you would likely call a "hoarder".  I was very lonely because I would turn down an invitation to be with a friend because I would feel obligated to invite them over to my house to reciprocate.  I was too ashamed for anyone to see how I live.  My house has not been clean for many years.  In 6 weeks, my kitchen was completely clean.  In fact, in 6 weeks my kitchen had been clean for 2 weeks.  We "chunked it down" and did a little bit at a time.  Every counter was spotless.  My den, too, was clean.  I packed or threw away all of my many magazines.  And, I have had one of my friends over.  This makes me happy."

"What can I say...I was stuck in my career, miserable, could not sleep, anxious and without a clear vision for where I was headed.  Have you ever been hopeless and then found hope?  I cried when I heard my Vision statement.  I read it every day.  It's not that I have arrived.  It's that I am making progress and have great hope.  I am really thankful to Kevin."

Are you considering a life coach? Perhaps, you are past consideration and actually thinking about life coach certification. Well, whether you want a life coach in Birmingham, Alabama or Australia or Canada or the UK…we would be glad to talk to you about being a life coach. Personally, my introduction to life coaching came through a family crisis. It moved my wife and me to take committed action for our child but also for us. Frankly, we believed we were saving a child but it turned out that we were saving ourselves…and a child. Everyone seeks to conquer what challenges their life in some fashion. You may address your pain or limiting beliefs with determination to change by planning a new strategy, asking a friend for support or seeking power from the divine. Perhaps, you are tired of being so tactically aggressive about your personal development and are seeking a new attitude through meditation or relaxation. Whether you are looking for more money, wealth or are going through a career transition…don’t give up. You can be happy, successful and build the life of your dreams. Can you acknowledge that you may need help? My training allows me to coach people from all backgrounds.
