Coaching is a private and personal journey.

Due to confidentiality, some clients have chosen to replace their true names with initials

You have been a source of inspiration, motivation, encouragement and support. I am still unaware of what my purpose is in life, but for the first time I feel like I have actual direction to follow. Thank you for helping me see the path that as you say was always in front of me.

As a therapist, I know the importance of the counselor-client relationship. However, working with you has revealed the true power of trust, truth and integrity. I have struggled with challenging and confronting my clients, but our sessions have taught me that our fears cannot stop us from facing the tough questions and becoming aware of our realities. You have changed the way I work with my own clients, I now embrace challenge as an opportunity, so they too can dig deeper and move forward. I always try to be as genuine and authentic as I possibly can be, your questions and comments are not only thought provoking, but always lead me to go even further in my soul searching. After every session, the answers to my life's questions may not be crystal clear, but I come out a stronger person who is closer to living a life of integrity. Thank you for your unconditional acceptance, honesty, and compassion.

For the past five years I've had the privilege of being a leader on the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Committee.  The big event is just a few short months away and I've become very aware of the emotional impact it will have on me when we close the doors.  I believe that you came into my life at the perfect moment.  What I value most about our relationship is that you created space around us that was safe for me to share and explore the possibilities.  One of the key themes at the Olympics; "Explore the Possible" and you my friend have enabled me to do that...thank you so much for this precious gift.

Thank you for having the courage and respect to keep me accountable throughout our time together. Please never loose the love and humility you have in what you do.

Joan Anderson - Toronto

All I say is thanks us making us laugh again. I lost my husband and kids in the disaster I never believed I could go on with purpose. I know I have long way to go, but I am moving towards something again. We all want you to know you entered our lives when we needed you most.

Even though I came to you for business coaching, you have helped me see how my relationship at home with my family was the foundation I needed to work on. By the way, I have worked myself from 24th out of 50th to 15th in the office since we started working together. (Or should I say since you started working on me). Thanks for all your passion and insight.

We would like to thank you once again for helping us find the passion in our marriage. When we got married we were so in love, it was hard to believe we had lost all of it within 2 years of our marriage. Thank you for helping us understand each other for who we really are. We feel like we are on our honeymoon everyday. Our friends still think we are on some special drugs.  I remind them that we are, it is called passion for each other. Thank you for helping us see the precious within each other and what it was that we fell in love with in the first place.

Fred, your commitment to me, your guidance, coaching techniques, making myself accountable in this game of life has given me a sense of clarity and an action plan in pursuing my purpose with passion and direction.  You helped me get out of doing the same things in life, just for the sake of doing them.
 
I'm not sure how to sum up what you did for me, but what you did for me was and is priceless.
 
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to live my life with passion, and the courage to follow my purpose."

Thanks for helping me take my company to the next level. I was hesitant when you said I need to work on me first in order to help my people and take the business to the next level. I sincerely thank you for helping me see my life from a different perspective, and I know my employees thank you even more. They definitely like the new me.

N.S.

All I can say is that my sales have gone up by 24%. And, I was able to do it with less work hours and have more fun. Thanks for making my life less complicated.

I have been a psychologist for 13 years now and it baffles me how you have made me rethink about a lot of my practices and viewpoints. I am able to have such a deeper insight into my clients now. You have helped me feel and relate at a much more genuine level. Thanks for reminding me and reigniting why I got into this profession in the first place.

G.R.

Fred, Thanks a million for our time together -- for your warm, loving, encouraging, and honest feedback.

Mary Clarke - Vancouver

Fred, I cry as I write this to you. In fact I have had tears of joy in my eyes for 2 days now. You know it has been a struggle for me to go through the exercise you have challenged me to. At times I wondered why do I bother. I can finally see what you mean when you said ? Life is not about doing the easy things but the right things, and the right things are never an easy journey but the prize makes it all worth while. My son told me he loves me for the first time in my life. Absolutely priceless.

Sloane Regan - Toronto

Fred, Thank you for your strength and patience. I must have been one of your most frustrating clients, but you never lost your patience with me (even when I yelled at you, again sorry for that) Even though the psychical abuse has stopped for a while the memories will haunt me for time to come. You are right, I am no where done with my journey, but I have regained my identity and once again proud of who I am and what I have survived. You will be in my prayers everyday for the rest of my life! p.s. May God bless you always!

F.P.

Fred some time has gone by now. I will be honest, I still at times miss my income. But all I have to do is look at how happy I am doing what I love to do now and I cannot imagine how I survived so long without it. To anyone who reads this ? I use to make close to $300,000 a year and lived that lifestyle. I have let that go now and am doing what I truly love to do. Fred showed me what it means to wake up and love what you do. Fred, I am finally starting to believe what you kept telling me, do what you love and money will come in time. I can truly see making the same money I used to in another 3-5 years. Even if I never do, I am finally living my life.

I had a lot of struggle coming to you in the beginning. I have never received counselling outside of the church before. I know you are not a Christian, but it still amazes me how you were able to relate to my religion and guide me within it. Thank you for never judging me and giving me the strength to search on my own. God must have brought you into our church that day to speak to us, as I would have never met you and would have never had the opportunity to work with you. We still talk about your session; you touched many of our hearts that day.

Jessica Marlet - Toronto

Your program helped me look at all aspect of my life. I was able to see what needed changing in my life and reinforced what is good in my life. I can truly understand now what balance means in life and the importance of it.

Marina Stawn - Toronto

24 years of marriage, you think we would have figured it out by then. You are right, it is the journey that makes marriage so precious not the destination of reaching or attaining. Thanks for coming into our home, helping our entire family connect in the way my wife and I had always dreamed of. Yes, we will not forget, for this to stay we have to work at it everyday for the rest of our lives. My wife and our 3 children are taking our first vacation together since they became teenagers.

I always wished I had a patient, empathetic, loving strong wife. How I did not realize I had all that within my munchkin, thank you for opening my eyes. She is all that and more.

Julie and Fizal Virman - Winnipeg

I never realized how fun it could be to have self confidence. I feel so good about myself, for who I really am. I know our paths will cross again on top of the mountain.

F.S.

Fred, you are a very safe person to talk to. It is very difficult for a woman to feel comfortable with a male counselor. Thank you for your respectful ways.

S.M.

I have taken life by the horns.  I have lost another 34 pounds and feel so healthy this time around. I wish I would burn weight off faster, but you are right, if I am in this for the long term I need to do it the right way not the easy way. 104 more pounds to go. Thank you for helping me see the joy in the journey instead of just reaching my destination.

M.S.

Fred, thank you for being so blunt with me at times and telling me the way it is.
