“Coaching with Renee has brought true focus into all phases of my life – professional and personal. My colleagues and family have noticed the change in my work ethic. Coaching has helped me to focus on the dollar productive activities to achieve my goals.” [Kathy - Salesperson - Naples, FL]
“Renee has pointed me in the right direction in order to help me realize my dream of doing something completely different in my life. I used to be in the financial business and felt bored and unfulfilled. After coaching with Renee, I have realized my talent and passion in owning my own business and being my own boss. Renee gave me the motivation, encouragement and insight to help me reach this very important goal of mine.” [Jeff - Restaurant owner - Bonita Springs, FL]
“Our lives were in chaos. With my husband working overtime constantly, our relationship was in trouble. Renee worked with both of us to strengthen our relationship by increasing intimacy with one another. She taught us the skills necessary to improve our relationship by focusing on how we communicate with one another and prioritizing our time with each other. Her background as a Counselor made us feel comfortable knowing she had the experience and skill to work with us as a couple. Renee is professional, courteous, and treats her clients with respect. She is also very friendly and has a warm personality that makes it easy to talk with her about anything.” [Jim & Donna - Naples, FL]
“I used to shy away from people before working with Renee at Coaching 4 Success. In my business as a Realtor, I need to make regular contacts with people. However, I was losing sales because I was too shy to meet people and network. Renee taught me the skills to overcome my shyness and feel confident to go to business functions and meet people. I never thought I could network with strangers but Renee helped me overcome my fear and assert myself with people. Now, I am able to talk with just about anyone and I’ve increased my sales because of it. Thanks Renee!” [Missy, Realtor - Milwaukee, WI]
“Our Insurance Agency was struggling with the high turnover rate we were experiencing as a result of poor management. Ms. Kennedy-Edwards was able to confidently come into the business, find the source of the problem, and show us ways to retain our staff and obtain quality management. She was professional and friendly in her approach. We will certainly call on her again.” [Mr. Butler – Owner Quality Insurance Incorporated]
“I am a Chiropractor with several different practices. I know I’m not easy to work with and I know I’m guilty of micro-managing my employees. The problem was that I didn’t know how to change. Ms. Kennedy-Edwards was able to help me learn the skills necessary to allow my employees to work without feeling smothered. I feel I have better control of my own life because Renee has helped me learn that I don’t have to control every detail of every person.” [Dr. Adamson, Chiropractor – Chicago, IL]
“We run a busy restaurant here in town and we were having problems with our customer service. The quality was going down and I was too busy to try and do anything about it. Besides, it doesn’t seem as effective when the remarks come from me. Ms. Kennedy-Edwards was able to establish rapport with our staff while training them on quality service. She was received much better than I would have been because she is an outsider without any hidden agendas. Coaching is the best thing that could happen to businesses!” [Grace, Co-owner – Amelia’s Café]
“I was burned out in the sales business. Tired of working the long hours but afraid and overwhelmed in trying to figure out an alternative. Renee was great. She helped me see where my strengths and talents are and assisted me in finding the perfect career as a Marketing Director. Now, I have more time for myself and my husband and I feel more fulfilled in my career.” [Tracy, Marketing Director – Estero, FL]
“Thank you for guiding me to a new direction in my life. At age 62 I am at a “Crossroads” once again! Your assessment of my strengths and weaknesses has helped me lay a path, set goals and stay on track. Your close follow-up has helped me to avoid my customary procrastination. I appreciate your objective input and coaching and I am looking forward to reporting to you the exciting outcome this Fall.” [Caron, RN - White Pigeon, MI]
“Who, exactly, seeks out a coach?…Winners who want even more out of life.”
