The main reason I started coaching with Brooke was that I was feeling unfulfilled by my work. Throughout Brooke taught me how to take my focus off the money and onto my relationship with my employees. He coached me to be a coach for all my managers and staff. This HUGE change made me feel the importance of my role in all their lives. Now that feels good! By the way, I am making more money then I ever did because the team is doing a better job.

I was having a very difficult time with my team at work, which consisted of one senior, one peer and two juniors. With Brooke’s help I initiated an entirely new way of working together, setting goals and community thinking. I must say everyone was relieved when I proposed the new concept. In retrospect, it wasn’t a huge deal, but it did take some time plus the insight and courage I got from my coaching to make it happen. Thanks!

I had been working with Brooke to address some health concerns involving digestion and detoxification of pesticides and heavy metals. Then Brooke offered to coach me in designing a plan that would satisfy my needs and goals professionally. We created a comprehensive, three-year contract, which exceeded all the needs and expectations – both for the Club and me.

Anyway, the big lesson seems to me to SET REALISTIC GOALS, even if they don't seem sufficiently ambitious, because the only way to get anywhere is one small step at a time.
In fact, this is the major problem that I face with work and most tasks I undertake - I do not break the tasks into manageable pieces, so I get overwhelmed and paralyzed. I am much happier, calmer, and more productive when I set small, realistic goals and achieve them.

Thanks for your help. You are right that having a facilitator and having a weekly session really make a difference. It's much easier to remain positive, in part because it's a matter of getting from one week to the next, not from here to eternity.

Brooke's coaching plan really helped me take my quest for health and wealth to a new level. I originally started with Brooke to take care of some persistent dry skin/eczema I have been battling all my life. Through diet, supplement and exercise consultations, we had the skin problems pretty much licked. We then went on to bringing some order to the way I was managing my startup business and a family of five. The weekly consultations via telephone helped me develop a plan to balance work and family. With "Dr.Freud's" help, I even dealt with some "mother" issues!
Brooke's approach to health management turned out to be the missing link for me. The weekly conversations were completely convenient for me, and they served as a system to set, manage and execute personal and professional goals. I highly recommend Brooke's coaching technique to anyone who feels like they could use a good kick in the arse to get things in gear.

My main reason for starting with coaching was to increase my income. Amazingly we did it through changing my relationship with my staff. I realize now that I used to be a difficult person to work for! Now, there is such a good harmony in the office that I think everyone is happier and really want s to work- they enjoy their work. The end result is that we are making quite a bit more money, but I think the best change is the atmosphere! I never would have guessed that that would be the answer, but it was. Awesome!

There are turning points in one’s life when it is very hard to be objective and very helpful to have someone to act as a guide through uncertain paths. Brooke Loening acted as such a guide for me and helped me determine what my objectives were during a period of transition in my business. Brooke helped me actually write down what I was trying to achieve by these changes in my business and how I could best implement these changes. The importance of repetition of these goals and the clarity achieved by actually articulating them was extremely helpful. In addition, understanding weekly challenges on a higher level allowed me to respond to them and resolve them more quickly, instead of reacting in a familiar pattern. This weekly “brainstorming” was invaluable for me. Through meditation, I achieved a degree of balance both physically and mentally. I am extremely grateful to Brooke for his guidance.

When I met with Becky back in June, I saw someone who was much more at peace with herself. She indicated that she had chosen to get a Life Coach as she was seeking to obtain some balance in her life. I believe this coach has helped her achieve something I was not able to provide, which was an ability to let go. Debbie has always been very involved in her files, working and re-working files sometimes for weeks on end as she wanted to make sure she exhausted every last hope for the borrower. I think she now realizes that there is nothing wrong with letting go and denying those customers earlier in the process. That is not to say she doesn’t work hard for her customers, but that she doesn’t keep hoping for a miracle for them.

Thanks for your coaching. Our work together has given me the confidence to approach work without the fear of being judged on my performance. This has been a huge stress relief for me and I know I am doing a better job because of it.
