Endorsement

“I began working with Jeff as my executive coach in transition to my first senior leadership role several years ago. Over the years I have reached out to Jeff for advice at each critical junction in my career. Simply put — he has helped me elevate my leadership in a profound and meaningful way every time. Jeff combines unmatched strategic acumen, extensive organizational leadership and a remarkable brand of emotional intelligence. He firmly encourages me to get to the heart of the matter and deal with self-limiting thoughts and feelings. I have never been challenged more rigorously to break through barriers, nor reaped the rewards of that hard work more tangibly than when working with Jeff.”
