“I worked with Kevin for just a few sessions this year. Kevin was an ideal mentor for me. He was able to quickly identify my strengths and talk though some areas for improvement given the challenges I was facing. A great listener, he was able to quickly establish trust and sense of mutual respect. I felt that Kevin truly engaged with me as an individual, though I know he works with many executives. I appreciated that Kevin approached the engagement truly as a coach, if anything strengthening my self-reliance and resolve. I never felt that Kevin was anything less than 100% present. I would highly recommend Kevin as an executive coach to anyone.”

“We brought Kevin into our work site because of his reputation for fostering team-building concepts in unique and innovative ways. With the significant changes ahead for healthcare with regards to delivery and reimbursement, it was important for all facets of our hospital to understand the importance of working together as a team going forward to achieve success. The feedback from our attendees was extremely positive, and several have asked for me to consider bringing Kevin back later this year or even next year to expand on his concepts. I highly recommend him and stress the importance of working closely with him so he can understand the needs of your work site.”
