Before I began business coaching with Lois, I was already a successful I.T. professional. But I found myself living a hectic, chaotic, and over-busy lifestyle, and was on the road to burning out. Sure, I was busy – but my business was not profitable as it could have been. Lois encouraged me to raise my prices, rethink my business processes, eliminate time and money wasters, and set and achieve goals. She helped me strike a balance between my business and all the other important parts of my life. If you happen to be one of those people who says “I don’t know if I have the time or the money for coaching”, then you should definitely sit down and have a talk with Lois. Our coaching has produced more than a 100% return on my investment – so, basically I have improved my business dramatically and reduced my stress at no cost to me! In fact, considering what Lois’s coaching has done for me, I would easily go into debt if necessary to work with her. I am now organized, focused, and productive in my work, and my business is profitable, stable - and a whole lot more fun! Mark Docken “I have personally had the pleasure of knowing Lois for several years. During that time I have benefited from her suggestions and ideas for my own development and that of my business, and I have participated in several of her seminars. Meeting together with Lois has really helped me clarify my goals and work toward them. If you are a small business owner, I highly recommend you take advantage of her services.” Cathy Watson “Working with Lois has been a very rewarding experience. Her collaborative approach allowed me to understand the real problems that were affecting my business and to design creative and workable solutions to the problems. Lois is not a consultant who comes in and tells you how to run your business. She is a facilitator who assists you in refining your vision of your business and engages you in moving towards the solutions that you know will work but have not felt empowered to undertake. My current success is a direct result of the work that we did together and it was well worth the time and cost of the effort.” John Chapman FLMI “Before meeting with Lois, I was in a professional holding pattern with no real game plan for the future. Career coaching with Lois has proven to be the best money I have spent in a long time. Lois proved to be an excellent listener with a keen business sense who quickly understood what was most important to me. She demonstrated a rare ability to articulate thoughts and feelings that would have been otherwise difficult to communicate. As part of our process, Lois helped me dissect and rebuild my resume. As I have told countless family and friends, she was able to draw out of me qualities and attributes that I had failed to see in myself, and turn them into selling features Within several weeks of beginning our process, I am now on a clear and direct career path. Additionally, I am enrolled in university…something I NEVER thought possible. While I give myself credit for getting the ball rolling and realizing that anything is possible, I credit Lois for assisting me in organizing and structuring myself to make a dream become reality. Thank you, Lois!” Chris O’Driscoll “I have had two meetings with the CORPORATE SPIN DOCTOR. I really feel that my summer projects will be a worthwhile use of my precious down time, now that we’ve sat down to solidify the main objectives of my new projects for my little agenda of WORLD DOMINATION!!! Maribel Linfield “Lois has a knack for coming up with insightful approaches to business problems. In the hour I sat down with her just to talk I walked away with several idea gems that will play an important role in the sales & marketing strategy for my company in the next year. Thanks Lois!” Matt Inglot “Lois was great in asking the questions that got me to search for answers myself. Rather than attempt to feed me textbook solutions, her coaching style really helped me to find the best solutions for my particular situation. In less than a week since our meeting, I have already begun making changes based on our discussions. I can already see that these changes are making me more productive and that I am better able to tackle the challenges I am faced with on a daily basis.” Dan Donovan “Lois is a warm and approachable person that helps you look at your business in a refreshingly honest manner. Her Ready 2 Grow approach helps small business owners move to the next step with really practical, useable, constructive feedback and ideas that you can put into action immediately. Lois’ sense of humour and enthusiasm are infectious and she truly loves helping others! I have seen Lois in action and I would highly recommend her to others.” Jenn Givlin, “Through several coaching “mini-sessions” over the last year in our networking group, Lois has proven her ability to easily recognize the root issues behind challenges that I had been experiencing, and help me work toward solutions. She asks the questions that are necessary to get to the heart of the matter. Through our interactions, Lois has helped me to build self-confidence and overcome procrastination. Over the past year, my admiration and respect for Lois has grown. Above all else, I appreciate her gentle and non-judgmental approach. Lois’ strong people skills, and her desire to teach and mentor come together to offer a great “package” approach to both personal & business coaching.” Donna Schmidt, “Thank you for the time you devoted to speak to me and listen to my future small business plans at the recent Small Business Showcase. You put me in touch with some valuable people that I will add to my network and utilize early next year when I start the research for my business plan. Thank you again for the support.” Jennifer Pletsch “As a trainer and the owner of three companies, I was finding my life getting a bit complicated and needed to take a step back to review where I was, and where I was going. Lois was a big help. Her quiet way meant she was a great listener and able to ask some incisive questions to get to the meat of the issues I needed to face. She helped me make some important decisions and I appreciate her sincere approach, her insight and her caring attitude. Thanks Lois!” Wayne Vanwyck “Lois was excellent at helping me figure out why I was working so hard and getting nowhere, and providing an unbiased sounding board for new ideas and potential areas for growth. In only a few consultations, Lois helped me to do the following: Trudy Visentin “I had been taught time management in college, but to no avail. Lois was able to come up with time management solutions that worked specifically for me and my needs. Working with Lois has made me more self-aware, and that has helped me to become more productive and way less stressed. I have stopped beating myself up. Now I not only make better decisions, but I feel good about my decisions. I have found it so helpful to have an objective, independent sounding board. I’m really thankful that my boss was willing to invest in me by hiring Lois to be my coach.” Heather Johnson “A single 2-hour session with Lois gave me incredible insight into who I am. I feel that I have gained a direction allowing me to move forward. Now I know what I need to do to get to where I want to be. I feel like I am 10 steps ahead of the game. Spending a couple of hours with Lois has literally saved me years of drifting. Thanks, Lois!” Chelsea Prescod |
