What Do Truly Successful Leaders Like Nelson Mandella, Oprah or James Dobson Have In Common?

• They all have a Mentor or Coach.
• They don't attempt to "go it alone."
• They understand there is time and energy-saving leverage in having a Coach.
• They are the first to admit they wouldn't be where they are today if it weren't for their mentor.

Behind successful leaders are people who mentor them, believe in them, and challenge them to clarify their vision and grow into their full potential. For centuries, Coaches have inspired people to live out their deepest dreams and their truest destinies.

The few minutes it will take you to read this letter will show you how you can enhance the quality of your life and the performance of your business.

Talking with people in your work environment may unnecessarily upset or confuse them.

Talking to a family member who is emotionally involved with you may hinder that person from hearing you clearly, or the information you impart may unduly burden your loved one.

Yet, your concerns don't really call for formal counseling or therapy.

In Growing Your Organization or Business, or Resolving Life's Inevitable Challenges?

• Who do you turn to when you are dealing with tough decisions and when you need to visualize new and more creative perspectives?
• Are you maximizing leverage from every action, time commitment, and investment you make?
• Do you feel alone with some of the decisions that you can't freely share with those you know?
• Do you need to make decisions that could be explored with an objective third party?
• Do you work on your business, instead of get swamped by it?
• Do you find yourself spending time on things that aren't connected to your best talents, but that you don't or won't delegate?
• Are there times when you are working alone, and that is just not good enough?

Coaching works because you have someone to confide in—someone who engages you in straight talk, and gives honest, informed, even expert opinions. When you have a relationship where you are free to tell the whole and unbridled truth, you have a solid foundation for building results!

Executive Coaching is an emerging profession that synthesizes the best aspects of business, leadership, psychology, communications, organization development, counseling, consulting, sports, philosophy, theology, health and finance.

• A Coach challenges you and takes the time to assist you to clarify what life and success means to you.
• A Coach focuses more on the skills you need today to create what you want now and for your future, instead of focusing mainly on your past and how it is affecting you.
• A Coach provides the tools, structure, and support for you to orient your life and business around your true beliefs, values, and sense of purpose.
• A Coach guides you to plan to leave a legacy that inspires you to move forward with 100% of your commitment, talents, and potential, without becoming a burn-out case. Balance in life is paramount!
• A Coach asks you to do more and be more than anyone else has ever asked of you, including yourself.
• A Coach steers you to live the life you have longed for in your heart, and challenges you to remove obstacles that prevent progress.
• A Coach is a navigator who keeps you on the course you really want to follow.
• A Coach is a catalyst to move you toward your vision of a preferred future for yourself and others you love.
• A Coach creates the environment for you to discover and express the highest and best use of your talents and time.
• A Coach holds you accountable without nagging. That means accountable to optimize each area of your life and business so that you can move ahead to where you want to be.
• Corporate Coaching helps you to see how you can leverage your personal leadership development to build successful teams, enhance corporate culture or spirit in the workplace, and make the bottom line increase at the same time. I often combine executive coaching and corporate coaching in the same organization because the two enhance one another.

Coaching works because by working together we achieve laser-beam focus on the most important parts of your life, in both your personal and your professional arenas.

A wise Coach believes that wisdom at these deepest levels is available if you are encouraged to continue seeking clarity and refuse to give up! When you are inspired to persist, clarity emerges from within and unfolds afresh—each new day.

A Coach keeps you focused and on your line of purpose.

In our busy and fast-paced world, it is so easy to find yourself getting knocked off-course.

Cutting-edge learning tools are available to you throughout the Coaching process. Since 1979, Consulting Resource Group International, Inc. has published 32 learning tools that accelerate personal, team, and organizational learning. I may use tools developed by others, but find the CRG tools more comprehensive, and therefore provide you with an integrated approach to leadership development. These tools have been tested in clinical, corporate, and educational environments in ten countries; and some of them are available in 8 languages.

These tools have been identified as world-class and "best of breed" by more than 70 consulting companies and dozens of universities worldwide that represent the tools or use them. Our organizational and team assessment and learning programs enable you to share the benefits of our Coaching sessions with those with whom you work. Some are available on-line; others are paper-based. See an in-depth explanation of all our tools at the CRG website: www.crgleader.com

Learning Tools You Can Access In The Process Of Our Coaching Work

Transforming Leadership: Equipping Yourself and Coaching Others to Build the Leadership Organization
This interactive book prepares you to gain a full grasp of the terrain of leadership and the learning methodology to develop it—through Coaching—in yourself and others. The book contains a self-assessment of 56 leadership competencies with an in-depth explanation of how they can be applied at work and in other areas of life.

Leadership Skills Inventory (LSI, Self and Others)
This self-and-others 360-degree assessment of the 56 leadership competencies provides the basis for our formulating your results-based plan to develop enhanced leadership effectiveness.

The Personal Style Indicator (PSI)
This is a next-generation style-assessment tool. (You may have seen older versions like Myers-Briggs or DiSC.) PSI identifies general style preferences, strengths, difficult areas, reactions to stress, team functioning, leadership implications, and plans for development. The PSI is available interactively on-line at www.crgleader.com

The Job Style Indicator (JSI)
We analyze the work behavioral-style requirements of your job and compare them to your preferred work style. This helps you create or find a job role that matches the highest and best use of your strengths and talents.

The Stress Indicator and Health Planner (SIHP)
Using this tool, I assist you to assess your current stress levels and to plan for improved health and wellness in five critical areas of your life.

Values Preference Inventory (VPI)
I use this tool to assist you to prioritize your preferred values and compare them to the way you actually invest your time. We bring your lifestyle more into alignment with your true values and eliminate any self-defeating patterns that throw your life out of balance.

What Are The Learning Processes And Programs For Corporate And Team Coaching
QLEAD: The Quality Leadership Enhancement and Development Process

This four-phase, 10-step process systematically moves your executive team through organizational assessment, executive team development, strategic planning, and leadership assessment (using the LSI). It implements performance meetings, reviews successes, and promotes continuous learning and planned change. Coaching occurs throughout this process.

• Learn to be a more effective leader-manager.
• Assess your corporate development leverage points.
• Optimize the leverage potential in each decision, investment, deal, and time commitment.
  
• Optimize your business performance and keep more profits.
• Find the right consultant or person in your company who can make positive change happen.
• I associate only with consultants I know to be competent; I work with 20 senior consulting associates with proven track records in their own areas of expertise.

• Keep expenses down by capitalizing on untapped internal talent.
  
• Bring in highly specialized professionals who can achieve reliable and tested business results.
• See ways to build your business on a foundation of multiple profit sources.
• Create a plan to assess your organization and customers.
• Develop your leaders to build high-performance teams.
• Conduct strategic planning.
• Develop a strategic marketing plan.
• Conduct effective and regular strategic-plan-implementation meetings.
• Create learning and feedback loops by installing systems.
• Avoid fads that drain time and resources.
• Carry out market research and due diligence.
• Learn to create 10X real value for your customers.
• Maximize the impact of your products and services.

• Learn how to optimize everything in your life. Optimization is getting the maximum return, results, and rewards, while minimizing your strain and risk. As your Coach, my main responsibility is to help you gain and maintain clear focus. Juanell Teague, one of my mentors, once told me, "Focus or Die." It is extremely valuable to talk through your ideas with someone who understands you and who wants the best for you, yet who is objective enough not to be biased or self-serving. Simply talking about your options with a Coach who knows how to listen is often enough to make a concept clear.

• If you like workbooks, I may recommend Bill Bean's Living on Purpose process for working your issues through to clarity at the personal level. To optimize your business results, I often recommend his Turbo Charging Your Business with Strategic Planning Technology. If you prefer verbal interaction to workbooks, we will use dialog to move your business forward in proven ways to achieve new levels of performance.

• Learn to simplify your life and improve your relationship with time, to substantially increase the quality of your life and lower your stress levels.
• Find a time-management approach that suits your style, and use technology to free your time.
• Assess your current stress levels using the Stress Indicator and Health Planner and create a simple, effective plan to minimize stress and maximize wellness.
• Establish balance between your home, your work, and your play. A balanced life is a rare treasure that most people believe is beyond their grasp. Balance is not something you can force. When certain other things are in their rightful place, balance finds you!
• Address your work habits and the timeframes in which you are choosing to do work. Some individuals engage in workaholism that is destructive. You don't have to be a workaholic to have success and balance in life!

• Be clear about what you need, and communicate it respectfully and patiently to the people around you. You can improve the response you receive from others.
• Learn to ask for what you really want and need.
• Learn to do "truth telling" that isn't destructive.
• Learn to show you truly value others, even when there is conflict.
• Learn a conflict resolution process to create win-win relationships and agreements in business.
• Learn to speak from the heart in intimate relationships.
• Learn to express deeper understanding of others’ needs, views, and feelings.
• Learn about personal style and its impact on your personal life and business performance. We will review the results of your Personal Style Indicator and In-Depth Interpretations—a proven system I have developed with my partners—to take your communication skills to a new level. This memorable system goes beyond Myers-Briggs and DiSC tools. Without extensive training, you can have others complete these tools easily—at home and at work.

• Focus more on what you want to do.
• Automate your systems for peak efficiency in dealing with all your contacts and scheduling.
• Learn to delegate tasks that you shouldn't keep doing because they interfere with the highest and best use of your time.
• Develop a support system in your life so that things that drain your time and attention are systematically handled by others as often as possible.
• Identify and leverage your strengths to create greater influence as a leader and your profitability as a business leader.
• Build a team that complements your strengths rather than one that competes with you.

• Set the goals you really want. Ultimately, you do what you really want to do, anyway.
• Find out what you really want for yourself and your business. This is our first task together. We will discover what you really want for yourself in your heart-of-hearts. Once you are clear about your consummate goals, you're naturally more likely to take consistent action to reach them.

• Learn how to calm down.
• Learn to stop unnecessary suffering, tolerating, waiting, and hoping.
• Reduce adrenaline levels, stress, and friction in your personal and business relationships.
• Learn to live more simply and elegantly. Eliminate unnecessary material distractions.
• Complete unfinished business with your past—at every level.

• Together, we will identify the standards and values you are willing to set up for your life. Standards and values are worthwhile boundaries you can discover and willingly follow to improve the overall quality of your life. If you like assessment tools, we can use Everett Robinson's Values Preference Indicator (VPI) to help you gain prioritized clarity at this level.

• Get on a path, or further the path you are already on.
• Develop your spiritual understanding and seek clearer direction.
• Gain a framework for understanding various belief positions.
• Come to clarity about which criteria you believe are true, to discern the beliefs you will pursue.

I will help you sort through this confusing but critically important area of life that affects everything you plan, say, and do. If you want to, you can gain clarity by working with me through the process, Deep Structure Strategic Planning. You will create a clearer vision and personal purpose statement (based on your beliefs) that will drive every decision you make—to simplify and focus your life and business for a purpose.

• Recognize and eliminate any costly hidden "life costs."
• Establish a reserve of time, space, money, and love and become irresistibly attractive.
• Redesign your eating and lifestyle habits to increase your vitality and energy.

As your Coach, I'm always aware of your health and well-being;

I’ll put you in touch with the latest breakthroughs in science, nutrition, and technology.

Now That You Know More About The Impact That Coaching Will Have On Your Life.

• Do you have any "secret" dreams for your business life or primary relationships that you have abandoned or just thought you would deal with later?
  
• Do you wish to take your company to the next level, and find that you have reached a ceiling or that some obstacles keep getting in the way?
• Are there specific tasks you want to complete in your life? I can help you get to work on making it happen during your lifetime. Because your business and personal success emerges from the core of who you really are, it is inevitable that personal issues will come to light in our dialogues. What we work on depends on you.

• The CEO and The Executive desiring a balanced work and home life. The CEO and The Executive wishing to become a natural leader.

Leadership-skills assessment and development can be accomplished by our 360-degree feedback instrument, The Leadership Skills Inventory, or through the dialog between us. I can also assist you in planning for training that you may need and/or want. When leaders cannot delegate some management tasks to others, more effective management skills are sometimes needed.

If you wish me to become more involved, I can do so in the role of consultant.

I lead a limited number of consulting projects, and can effect strategic planning with your team, team development, plan for corporate change, culture change, and leadership development.

I can also lead a team of other senior consultants who can address virtually any problem or development area in your business or organization.

• Entrepreneurs starting a new venture and who want to do it right the first time
• Entrepreneurs wanting to optimize their existing company
• Entrepreneurs wishing to move their company to the next level—from "entrepreneurially run" to "professionally run"

I often use the Entrepreneurial Style and Success Indicator (which I co-authored) as a kick-off to our understanding of your needs and priorities from your personal view. And I use organizational assessments to assist you.

• Understand how you can identify critical success factors.
• Set up a convincing, compelling, and implementable strategic business plan.
• Choose effective team members.
• Better orient, Coach, and train your team.
• Learn to delegate more effectively without guilt or worry.

Professionals: Health professionals, physicians, chiropractors, Realtors, trainers, training managers, therapists, sales managers, and consultants

• Attract more and better clientele.
• Identify your unique selling principle.

• Prepare to launch your own consulting practice.

• People responsible for operations and leading sales team members.
• Those wanting to reach high sales targets or quotas
• Individuals wishing to learn the art of Coaching
• Team Members wanting to work better together through ongoing Coaching

As your Coach, I will ask a lot of you. Not too much, but certainly more that you may have been asking of yourself recently. I need you to be open to redesigning the parts of your life that are not working well for you, and to move ahead. I want you to experience joy and truly enjoy your life as it was meant to be enjoyed!

• Respect for your privacy by holding everything you say in complete confidence.
• Punctuality, resourcefulness, and being totally "present" for our session.
• Straight-talk and direct answers. Help in assisting you to hear and discern more truth.
• Skillful and respectful challenge of you, and what may be limiting beliefs or assumptions.
• Perceptions about the meaning of what you say and what you aren't saying.
• Understanding and sensitivity to your ideas, beliefs, feelings, and perspectives.

• Lead you through the problem-management process in each area of concern.
  
• Suggest and strategize new changes that will make impact.
• Advise you from my years of experience and expertise so that you have another perspective.
• Fully appreciate your circumstances from your point of view.
• Provide guidance, ideas, comments, and views—in a way you can use them.
• Coach you toward the specific leadership-skills development you agreed you need to work on.
• Help you identify and capitalize on your strengths and to emphasize these, rather than focus overly on your weaknesses. I'm here to champion you!
• Challenge you to be more successful, healthy, and happy.
• Exhort you to develop a strong emotional, interpersonal, spiritual, and financial base.
• Help you learn to enjoy your life right now, not after "everything works out."
• Present bold requests because I want a lot for you. I only ask that you play ball, 100%.

I want you to be your best—not necessarily "the best."

• Communicate your strengths, goals, fears, successes, and failures.

• When you speak straight to me, you assist me in finding answers quickly and easily.
• Engage in creative action, not just creative thinking.
• Elevate your personal standards and expectations.
• Produce more significant results—while retaining your health and well-being.
• Re-evaluate and redesign the way you spend your time.
• Set goals that are much, much bigger.
• Re-assess the assumptions and decisions you have made.
• Tell the absolute truth to yourself and others, regardless.
• Restore your integrity in any area where there is a breach.
• Stop tolerating unnecessary suffering in your life.
• Make decisions in which you can invest.
• Take responsibility for your own life—more than you ever have.
• Take extraordinary care of yourself.

• A big project or opportunity you want to maximize?
• A challenge that is beyond your current knowledge to solve?
• A confidential issue that you cannot share with anyone else?

• Successes and Wins you've had during the week.
• Concerns you are facing right now.
• A Plan of Action to accomplish an important goal.
• Problems you faced and how you handled them. Life does have its share of challenges and problems. When you tell me about yours, you receive my support and understanding, to take away some of the sting. Once you've been heard and dumped some stress, new solutions (and there always is at least one) can present themselves.
• New Insights. An insight is like an "Aha" experience"—basically a truth that you must realize. Insights help you realign with yourself and your vision. It's important that you share your insights with me; after the insight, results follow.
• Breakthroughs. A breakthrough is a combination of insight, a win, and an alignment with truth. After you have had a breakthrough, you feel energized—ready for action, relieved, and clear. Sharing your breakthrough will create the space for you to validate it with an achievement.
• News that you've gone the extra mile. Effort is good for us. It keeps body, mind, and soul in shape so that we can take advantage of life's opportunities. When you've kept your word in a challenging situation, stuck with something when everyone else has given up, or honored your standards when it was easier to lower them, tell me. It means you've grown stronger.
• Your Fears. Do you ever hesitate? Get scared? Stop yourself from moving forward? Good. You passed the humanity test. Together, we will create a plan to help you move through your fears into a preferred future.
• New Ideas. As your Coach, I'm committed to creating a threat-free zone for new ideas to be explored and tested with logic, intuition, and perhaps revelation. I won't minimize your ideas; I will help you craft them into language you can implement more easily and then communicate clearly to others.
• A Completion. Until we are complete, we do the same things repeatedly in a futile attempt to get complete so we can move on and express our values. Whenever you finish a project, complete a task, catch up on a promise, or do something right, you open your life to more good. One of our objectives is for you to complete the important things in your life.

Why Did I Become A Coach?

• I am truly excited about working with leaders to bring to bear all my resources, talents, skills, and abilities. I’m an expert at developing leaders who can, in turn, develop others and organizations to achieve positive and desired results. I help individuals clarify their identities, gifts, and strengths, and position these to create greater personal wholeness and corporate success. Through my Coaching, people find they can get more of the results and meaning they are seeking from life. It is extremely fulfilling for me to see my sense of purpose being realized in my Coaching and consulting work.

• I gain a tremendous amount of learning in my work with each client, on each project. It is as if I were continuously changing jobs, going in and out of new learning environments, enjoying the company of brilliant colleagues and clients. I give everything I have in terms of my extensive research, information pool, knowledge, and wisdom—and I do receive so much in return. It is very rewarding and uplifting to help people build their lives—in the same way as organizations are transformed—and to make a more positive social and economic impact on communities. I consider it a privilege and an honor to participate with key leaders so that high-level, far-reaching impact occurs. I truly enjoy seeing people grow and become more whole. I love to see impact that results in positive financial and "people" outcomes.

As I grow from my mid-50s, toward my 60s, being a Coach allows me to create the additional balance in my life that I need to pursue my goals of enjoying living, writing, teaching, and consulting.

I have a heart for people development and a mind for business-development strategy. These key qualities have led me to teach communication, counseling, and leadership at three universities for over 25 years. Those abilities also led me to start my own publishing and consulting firm in 1979. Consulting Resource Group International, Inc. has grown to include 51 associate companies, and 32 publications— some in eight languages, and are being distributed in ten countries—and it is still growing.

I now have the freedom to enjoy life with my wife JoAnne, to continue teaching university courses, and to consult and Coach. Mine is a full, but balanced, life.

• B.A. in Psychology and English from California State University, Chico
• M.A. in Education with a specialization in Counseling from California State University, Chico
• Ph.D. in Administration and Management from Columbia Pacific University (in conjunction with faculty supervisors at the University of Massachusetts School of Management and School of Counseling and Consulting)
• Author of a leading-edge book and learning tools that will assist you and your business to grow. Transforming Leadership: Equipping Yourself and Coaching Others to Build the Leadership Organization, has been translated into Swedish and Hungarian. There is also a european edition from Blackhall Publishers, Ireland, UK; and a policing edition, and any of the 1998 editions can be ordered from CRGI at (360) 296-2751, or from www.amazon.com. I am author or co-author of 32 other publications, some of which have been used in Fortune 500 companies and other businesses around the world, including Japan, Sweden, the US, Canada, Holland, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa.
• University Educator for more than 25 years in the areas of communication, problem management, leadership and organization development.

• I have Coached and Consulted with CEOs and managers from $1,000,000,000 companies, to young entrepreneurs starting up high-tech and marketing firms. Also, I developed the framework for a leadership development program that has been used by 200 of GTE's top executives. It received rave reviews and is now being used—in custom-designed form—by a number of other companies.

• Over the years I have established solid connections with the senior members of more than 10 other consulting firms. This enables us to team-up on projects with some of the world's most innovative leaders in general consulting, e-learning, e-commerce, organizational research, personnel consulting, organization development, compensation, executive search, re-engineering, quality initiatives, and change-management transitions.

Most importantly, I care deeply about people. It gives me the greatest sense of meaning to help leaders build their lives and the lives of others toward greater fulfillment. It is, in fact, my personal purpose to equip leaders who can build other leaders, who will in turn bring success and spirit into the workplace.

• I believe people are the most valuable part of life, and that we have intrinsic worth.
• People bring us the greatest joy on earth.
• They alone can make businesses succeed.

I won't put any "guilt" trips on you if you decide not to do what I suggest as your Coach.

I do want you to set your sights higher and provide a reason for removing any obstacles in the way.

As Your Coach, These Are The Kinds of Things I Want For You.

• Be on a clear and conservative financial track that will allow you to be financially independent as soon as possible.
• Discover the words and language you need to express your ideas and feelings clearly.
• Surround yourself with healthy, supportive people.
• Find your vision, clarify your beliefs and purpose, and orient your life around them.
• Give yourself permission to just "be" with yourself.
• Learn to put yourself first without becoming selfish or distant, for the sake of your health and your balance. Let others take care of themselves.
• Delight in your family as much as you love your work.
• Feel fully restored and have balance in your life.
• Be at peace with yourself and your past.
• Establish the kind of foundation that will weather any storm.
• Allow your brilliance to consistently show up.
• Permit your life to be relatively effortless and unforced.

• I do my Coaching work mostly by telephone or video teleconferencing, some of it face-to-face.
• Successful Coaching is achieved with weekly sessions.
• Your weekly sessions provide consistency and follow-through. As your Coach, I will help you solve problems and make the most of opportunities. If you are too close to a situation, it can be difficult for you to "step out of the box" and evaluate what is really happening.
• Each week, we will agree on the critical actions that you need to take, or identify the things you need to do to facilitate your next step. These are tasks, actions, results, or changes you will commit to completing before our next call. At the beginning of our next call, we review how your work has progressed and plan for further, more refined, and focused action.
• I don't assign "homework," but I do act as a reminder that you have chosen to move ahead with certain areas of life and business. I Coach you to get on with your action plans.

Free: (up to) 1 Hour Teleconference
Email me at drcoach@mac.com or call me directly at (360) 296-2751 to book your free phone session with me. I'll call you back at your convenience and we'll talk for up to one hour. You can explain what you're up against and what you want to achieve. I'll let you know how I can help, and suggest an initial strategy or direction. In this session, we'll find out if Coaching is for you. Most importantly, I want you to feel at ease talking with me so you will be comfortable discussing the important issues that are impacting your business and/or personal life (it can be one, or the other, or both).

You have nothing to lose. Coaching is not something I sell you on. It's something you understand and invest in because you want it...and you instinctively know it will benefit you.

If You Decide To Continue, Our Next Step Is The One-Hour Orientation Session by Phone.
Prior to that session, I will likely ask you to complete the Coaching Needs Inventory, and Personal Style Indicator (PSI) on line. This will help us to get to know one another very quickly and help you to identify some things you want to work on.

The One-Hour Orientation Session: Satisfaction Guaranteed-Or You Don't Pay!
We will review the results of the assessments you have found most relevant. You'll get off to a strong start by both of us having a clear understanding of your goals, needs, and challenges. I will enjoy spending this time with you, getting to know you, and building a foundation for our relationship. Together, we will design the best way for us to work together to accomplish your goals. If you are not satisfied with the results of the hour, you do not pay for this session, and we don't continue the coaching.

Your Commitment To The Coaching Process
If you agree, I will ask you to make a three-month commitment to our Coaching sessions. Our lives are filled with interesting layers of potential to be uncovered. This is not a quick-fix, but rather a process for you to create a higher quality life. If you make this commitment, I will send you a free copy of my book, Transforming Leadership: Equipping Yourself and Coaching Others to Build the Learning Organization. It also contains the Leadership Skills Inventory in Chapter Two, a leadership competence assessment questionnaire that helps you to identify specific leadership skills that you want to work on. To maintain balance in my own life, I work with only a limited number of clients. If I am fully booked, or if I think you would be better served elsewhere, I will refer you to one of my associates who I believe will meet your needs after we have the first 15 minutes into the first free session. If I am available, I can often adapt my time schedule to coordinate with yours, but often Fridays are a good time to talk because it is beneficial to review the previous week's challenges and prepare for the next.

• You call me at a specific time, usually once each week, or once every other week. We will talk for 30 or 60 minutes.
• Each 30-minute session is $150US; each 60-minute session is $250US. I am generous to discount my coaching time because it often leads to my being engaged to do corporate coaching and consulting. My daily consulting fees are $3,500US for strategic planning, business development, executive team development and for strategic plan implementation coaching. You choose how much time you want to invest. Payment is made in advance of our call, and secure payment can be made on line on my "Fees" page (click the "Fees" button at the top of this page).
• You may also meet with me in person, but most people find the telephone the most efficient and practical method. I also take phone calls on demand, as needed, and as I am available. It's that simple. You don't get charged anything else. Everyone has untapped potential and special talents to share with others. Yet few venture far enough along the path of personal and professional development to realize their fuller potential. A good Coach enhances your ability to see clearly and helps you release your unique gifts. What I ultimately want is for you to produce results beyond the ordinary in your business and personal life. I am looking forward to speaking with you soon.

Best personal regards,
Terry D. Anderson, Ph.D.
