In each case, the coaching was so focused, clear and practical that I have been able to internalize and practice the strategies and tactics we discussed. I look forward to working with you further. Thank you."

Barry is an extremely helpful as a sounding board, helping me work though a concrete plan to tackle particular problems I face within the office, and in building and maintaining important client relationships. He has a great knack for hearing what I am really saying even when I am not quite saying it, and for getting me to focus on what matters. He is also quite comfortable offering constructive criticism and helping me identify and discard bad ideas. On a personal level, I find Barry to be delightful. He is warm, personable and funny. And he is uniformly punctual and responsible about our sessions."

AKM, Ph.D. Detroit: "I interviewed about 5 individuals and liked the conversation Barry and I had.

PJ, consultant, Columbus Ohio: "BZ's coaching style is extremely effective. He establishes firmly that the answer lies within you, and provides guidance to help you get at it. His easy but effective nudging got me to take action that I might not have, if left to my own motivation. Objectivity and critical, logical thinking were displayed and promoted at all times, usually wrapped in a healthy dose of good humor and business awareness. I would describe the value of coaching as very high, especially if you are in a situation where emotional reaction may be clouding your view. For something this important to be this enjoyable is a very good thing."

AS, salesman/entrepreneur, Philadelphia: "I needed the guidance and perspective from an unbiased, objective third party to help me recognize my situation and capitalize on my opportunities.
