Client Testimonials

After listening to my long story - Scott asked a couple of questions that went to the heart of the matter. And then he gave me advice on what I can do in a very challenging situation. A great introduction to the coaching service. It felt good to know others from my company are using the resource and feeling similar pressures. Scott to the rescue as always. Scott was professional and is my work coach through my toughest moments. He provides clarity and perspective in times of need or emergencies. Chats with Scott keep me sane and professional. He's the best! Comically, my session started out as me looking for advice on how to make sure I'm prepared to take on a new role at my company with a new boss, and ended with my coach pointing out to me that I'm already doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing, and probably need to be less hard on myself and spend some time appreciating the successes that I've had and create some separation to put myself in a more positive frame of mind. After having had a really rough go of it with my boss at my last company, I've had a suspicion that all I've needed is to have a little more confidence in what I'm doing and stop worrying so much. Funny, then, that a person I've never met before can listen to me talk for 15 minutes and provide me with exactly what I needed– reassurance. I really appreciate Scott's approach to coaching, and this was exactly what I needed to move forward in a more positive frame of mind. Good session - it is early days so look forward to engaging again soon. Great conversation, very helpful. Excellent listener. So nice. Was comfortable telling him exactly how I felt about my situation. Great job! Great first experience. I'm glad we have a resource where we can vet challenges that we have in the workplace. Great guidance on identifying what I need to do and how I need to prepare to do those things. Great session! Scott helped be gain a new perspective and identify steps to improve my situation. Great session, thanks Scott! Having validation about my situation from an outside source was really helpful! And now I have straightforward steps to take in order to approach my situation with the best preparation and language possible. Thank you! I appreciate Scott's insights so much. He really knows how to draw out underlying obstacles in my professional growth. I desperately needed someone to talk to. Scott was there when I needed an unbiased party to assist. He was attentive and understanding. I did not know what to expect going into my Bravely chat and I was pleasantly surprised. Having jotted down a few items on my list of discussions he was able to steer the conversation and get me to solve my own problems. Overall great experience. I didn't know what to expect, but I was open to share as well as listen. I felt heard, accepted, and encouraged. I will definitely schedule another session as a follow up. I have homework that we discovered is mine to do now even though I don't know what the future may look like. Thank you!!! I don't know what I would do without Scott. I'm under a lot of stress and it's crucial to have a professional hear me out. I enjoyed being able to chat about my issue. It was a freeing experience. I appreciated that instant feedback on if I was thinking about something the right or wrong way. Some reinforcement about my ideas and steps to correct the issue already planned and encouragement to move forward. I enjoy working with Scott. He is an amazing coach. He can listen to all my blurbs and define the problems by putting an appropriate term on it and help with ideas on how to solve/ move forward. I found using Scott as a sounding board beneficial and he helped me acknowledge things that I may not have realised myself. I love the way the coach gave a name of the situation I described and also the suggestion he came up with. Incredibly helpful to take a moment, a time out, a pause- and reframe the problem with someone external to my company. Also provides me the time and space to do some big picture thinking, reflecting, and planning- in a very hectic and chaotic work world. Thank you for this! I really enjoyed and learned from my session. It was extremely helpful to have someone to talk through the things in my head. I feel more confident about making career/life decisions.

I feel good about the advice I received. It was helpful to talk through my concerns and get feedback from a disinterested party. There were a couple of worries I had that Scott helped me to view with better perspective, and I think that led to my handling a particular issue more constructively than I would have otherwise. It was lovely talking to Scott. His recommendations were right on. Now it's up to me to follow. It was very helpful! Thank you! I was able to follow up with items that were suggested to me (homework) as well as share the synchronicities that have been occurring since the last time we talked. I like to contribute it to "putting it out there in the universe" and when I do that, I tend to see what I am looking for. I like the fact that he takes notes because I cannot always remember what was said. Makes me feel like I am special. Well, I am! :) I was impressed with my session, it exceeded my expectations I was so impressed, that I will have ongoing meetings, and we already addressed some of the next steps I could take to achieve my goals.

It was great to have some professional guidance to help get me thinking about the best way to address my issue. My session was great. Scott was very easy to talk to and provided great recommendations. I look forward to connecting with him more in the future. My situation is (I think) unique and there's not a lot to be done except to hang in for a few months. That's basically where my head was at before the session, and after. But it was good to get validation from an unbiased third party. My two sessions with Scott have been very fruitful and have helped define a clear path forward for my situations.

Scott was awesome and very thoughtful. He was able to discern the key points from all of my rambling and provide very structured and actionable next steps. Scott was awesome.

I gave him limited information and he helped guide me to the answers I needed to pull out of myself. Scott was super calm and helpful! Scott was very helpful and a great person to talk to. I feel I didn't get as much out of the conversation as I could have, but that was through no fault of his. (My work situation changed dramatically in the time between setting up the appointment and the time of the call). I definitely could have been better prepared for my conversation with him. Regardless, he helped me make the most of it, and it was a very productive conversation. Scott was very patient and heard me out. He asked questions to make sure I understand my situation. Signed up on a whim, and loved it. After the initial awkwardness, it felt great to work on my issues together. And hearing yourself say things out loud helps so much. He wasn't just a ""rubber ducky"", but left me with lots of helpful advice that I'm going to be able to apply right now. Scott was super friendly and put me at ease right away. This was excellent!
