I started working with Paul six months ago and his coaching has been instrumental in changing my career trajectory and personal relationships. 

I contacted Paul because I was stressed about my work and career - which was technically going great - and that stress was bleeding into my personal life and affecting my relationships.  Paul created a space where I felt comfortable sharing my feelings and challenges, and he incrementally gave me tools to deal with them. These discussions can involve deeply personal issues and feelings that many may not be comfortable sharing, but Paul makes it easy. 

More importantly - his coaching has helped! I have not only become a better partner to my fiance, but a better manager/team leader.  Both my family and teammates have commented that I am more thoughtful in my interactions.  I was also asked to manage a larger, more complex team, which was a great compliment from my leadership.  Paul has helped me realize it is OK to have challenges or manifest stress in unexpected ways, and I don't have to be embarrassed or ashamed by these issues, but work on them, get past them, and take on new challenges with a new toolkit.

When I really think about it - Paul is basically an amazing personal trainer for your brain and your emotions.
