"Working with Stuart changed my life. Fast. He helped me understand why I communicate the way I do, why people perceive me the way they do, and how I can improve it (and still be me!). Now instead of avoiding giving feedback to my team, I dive right in. I'm a lot more comfortable, my team is happier, business is booming... and I've been recommending him to other leaders in my org."

"Even though I've had a 'successful' career, I've never really been confident in myself, and have spent a lot of energy worrying what other people think and second-guessing my decisions. Stuart helped me discover a deep well of confidence and power that was somehow invisible for me. Now I don't have to fake it anymore."

"I reached out to Stuart ahead of a promotion cycle so I could focus on a couple of big things that were holding me back. He locked into my issues right away, pushed me a lot further than I expected, and (my favorite part) gave me homework assignments between sessions so I could put things into practice right away. Highly actionable and totally worth the commitment - and also a lot of fun. Oh, yeah: I got the promotion!"

"As a PR agency vice president, I am accustomed to managing my firm’s relationships with clients; so more often than not, my focus is on promoting others rather than myself. Stuart is a truly effective coach, really helping me navigate a difficult career transition -- which has paid off in spades and enriched my personal well-being. He encouraged me to proactively listen, observe and take action."

"After struggling for years with speaking in front of an audience, I contacted Stuart for some help. He took the time to learn about my goals in public speaking and uncover the challenges I faced. We worked together to refine my content and make it dynamic and interesting for the listener. Then Stuart guided me through a series of exercises that helped me overcome my emotional blocks and warm up my voice. He helped me to convey excitement and connect with my listeners. Stuart is a gifted coach, and I would highly recommend him! He’s the cat’s pajamas of public speaking."
