| As a business coach, I've worked with men and women at all stages of their career, in a wide range of industries. Below is a fairly extensive sampling of the results I've delivered to my clients, in their words. I have a number of pretty enthusiastic clients. Their success goes beyond the monetary—many experience personal growth and a deep sense of accomplishment. There's two reasons I have so many strong testimonials. First, I've been in business for a long time and I know my craft. And second, I rely on a proven approach in which my clients begin at the beginning, know where they're going, and don't burn out! Ask if you'd like to speak with one or two of these past clients. | Small Business Owners Entrepreneurs Artists Business Executives Freelancers & Consultants Attorneys Coaches Internet Marketing Specialists Accountants Doctors and Physicians |
| Coaching Small Business Owners Internet marketing specialist "A result of a creative conversation with you was that I re-prioritized how my time should be spent, and that I had to allocate time every day for CEO activities. This "CEO Time" resulted in many changes in how my company runs today. The greatest advantage of "CEO Time" is that it keeps me focused on what matters most. The specifics are too many to list. My favorite thing in the world is now my "CEO Time!" This [program] helped me conquer something I've been procrastinating for years!" Monique Benoit - Architectural photographer "Your coaching has transformed my business from a raging bull to a well-trained oxen. Our call helped me define business, finance and time-management plans. You have been instrumental in bringing my ideas into reality. You helped me to see that I am the engine and mastermind that drives everything. It is as if I have discovered my own personal compass." Jennifer Brightbill, Seamstress "Today, I have several brand new clients, my team is expanding and my boyfriend has become my fiance! My business no longer runs my life, my client base is growing and my earnings are increasing. I have fulfilled my definition of success." Marcy Pesner, President, Beagle & Potts Woodworking "I had had a cabinetmaking business for 16 years and for reasons of insecurity, lack of structure, lack of business development savvy, the business limped along. After working with you for a brief period of 2 1/2 months my business is currently creating $22,000 a month in business. Your coaching helped me to realize this dream and I can't thank you enough." Owner, personnel business "Craig Jennings is an incredibly smart, intuitive man. I have been working with Craig for several months and am always invigorated and motivated after every meeting and phone conversation. I highly recommend Craig Jennings if you are considering a business coach that will help you effect tremendous change in your business." | |
| Coaching Doctors and Physicians Bill Barnes, Psychiatrist "Since I have been working with you, and it has been less than a year, I have reduced my hours by two thirds, hired six clinicians to do my work and I am on the verge of being financially independent. In a few weeks, I expect my passive income to exceed my expenses." Dr, Mohan Obilisundar, Cardiac anesthesiologist "When I first met Craig I was caught in the time/money trap. I needed help to get out of the vise that was squeezing me. I started coaching with Craig with a three-year plan: to achieve more free time, reduce work hours to half or less, double my investment income and start a passive business. [One year and a couple of months later], I've doubled my investment income, and my work hours are being cut by 33%. Craig helped me be accountable to myself. So far I am ahead of schedule." | |
| Coaching Entrepreneurs E. James Berry, New entrepreneur "I set out 4 goals to achieve at the beginning of our work 6 months ago - I've achieved 3, and I should have the 4th one in a week! That's amazing - I thought they were all pipe dreams. After working with Craig, I have more clarity over my business goals and know what it will take to achieve them. I am accomplishing my goals sooner than I thought I would, and having fun doing so. Best of all, it has not been the huge uphill battle I envisioned for myself. Craig has challenged me head-on, and as a result, I am able to see things from a new perspective." Alan Someck, Franchise marketer "Before working with Craig I intellectually knew what I was not happy with. He helped me create a breakthrough for myself that allowed me to envision a business, do everything I needed to do to get it up and running and to love doing it all within a space of 6 weeks. He is a coach who not only understands the emotional barriers we have to success, but also knows the nitty gritty of business which is absolutely necessary in supporting someone in creating their dreams." Entrepreneur "When I first called Craig I was not sure if I was going to get any value from it. I knew I needed help, and help was more than I received. I happen to believe that we are put in contact with people for a purpose be it ours or theirs. The value I place on this relationship is not only monetary one, it is a personal working relationship with a person who is a mentor to me and I respect and value the advice and opinion of."

He brings a love of people coupled with a commitment to their greatness that is reflected in the fact, that much like George Bailey - he is the richest man in town." Entrepreneur - multiple businesses "Craig has been an invaluable consultant to both myself and my business. He strongly urges me to deal with issues I feel uncomfortable with and supports me while I conquer these obstacles. This method of coaching has helped me grow my business more than 40% over the last 2 years. Craig has helped me identify the income streams of my business and we have created a formula where each section of my business has been able to grow independently. He always points out my accomplishments but always holds me accountable for the tasks I have not completed." | |
| Coaching Artists Walter J. Lee, Photographer "Before taking on Craig as a coach, my business had no direction nor was there any strategy to create more business. Craig's coaching has been like having a business compass, which has allowed me to navigate the most direct route to clients while avoid costly and time consuming mistakes. Now the business is targeted and on target. Not only am I pursuing clients in a powerful and direct fashion, but I am pursuing those jobs that I am most passionate about." Carl Nicosia, Musician with a family business "Thank you for all your help coaching my wife and I on so many important aspects of our business. You helped me to focus on what was important based on what goals were set for the company and myself. I also really appreciated the accountability you provided in order for me to keep my behavior in check with what I believed to be important. You helped us to identify problems, offered solutions, and coached us to make our own decisions." | |
| Coaching Business Executives Executive Director of a charity "As my coach you have challenged me, taught me, guided me, supported me and praised me. You've been a sounding board, providing objectivity and opportunities for me to question my own actions and needs. You have helped me find clarity and perspective. I am again confident and in control. I have a vision for the future and a strong sense of how to get there. "I" has turned to "we" in a matter of months. Craig, you made it possible."

I am putting off administration and routine B.S. call-backs, because I am too busy furthering my sales efforts."

A great deal of where I am is because of the direction your coaching led me. I now know what to do and I love the direction."

His approach in motivating an individual to utilize their strengths in achieving their goals has a profound impact and is life changing."

| Coaching Freelancers & Consultants Peter Patch, Consultant redesigning his model "Working with Craig has been both inspirational and productive. The progress—and the productivity—has taken the form of specific, concrete plans to address specific, concrete challenges in my professional practice as marketing and strategy consultant. As we worked through each situation, I developed new ways of dealing with those challenges. Craig put it brilliantly and succinctly: 'You sound like a client I had who was spending too much time being an employee, so he didn't have enough time to be the CEO.' Viewed from the right perspective, the challenges became tractable and manageable. While I was trying to provide that clear-sighted perspective for my clients, Craig was helping me get that for myself." Steven Skyles-Mulligan, Freelance business writer "Before I started working with Craig, I was just a smart freelancer with a brand, now I'm the head of a growing small business. He has helped me to think bigger and create systems and actions around those thoughts. Craig's understanding of business is comprehensive. It even encompasses some of the esoterica of my marketing consulting practice. Having someone on my side who understands both the things I know well and the things I'm still learning has been absolutely essential. Nobody should start a business of any sort without Craig; he has been an integral part of my success." Lee Roberts, Fitness trainer (who lost weight!) "Wow, how things have changed in a very short period of time! I have learned so many new things that have helped me financially and helped my self esteem. I'm even more surprised that people would pay me so much money for it. I've got a brand new life thanks to the coaching program." | |
| Coaching Attorneys Special needs attorney "I have worked with Craig through TAB for five years. Through his coaching and group facilitation I have transitioned from a corporate practice to a special needs practice—advocating for individuals with disabilities. My practice now includes professional speaking and blogging. And I've increased my income by 25% per year, every year! I would not have been able to do this without Craig's support and guidance." Elderlaw attorney "When I hired Craig as my Business Coach one year ago I never would have guessed the progress that I've made with his help. Craig has a wealth of business experience, tried and true wisdom and an uncanny knack of putting words to ideas that he readily shares. His no nonsense approach holds me accountable to do things that challenge me and grew me as a person and a business owner. In one year I have gone from "newbie" to speaker, website and business owner. Results are what I was after, results is what I got." | |
| Coaching Coaches Susan Meyer, Life-Work Coach "I started working with Craig out of a desire to get my coaching practice better organized, more productive, and more profitable. With his support and assistance, I was able to find my core purpose and pull the diverse parts of my practice together into a coherent whole. With his gentle teasing, I've learned to love the dread technological aspects of my practice and can crank out auto-responders with the best of them. I've improved my marketing skills and got two speaking engagements. I've also doubled the number of clients I'm working with. If you want no nonsense, practical, yet sensitive support in moving your business or life forward, give Craig a call." Elizabeth Kallen, Sales trainer and coach "Since you started coaching me, I am more motivated and focused than at any other time in my life. Your ability to pick up on uncertainty or hidden issues that hold me back is uncanny. Also, your commitment to my well-being, self-confidence and success enhances your technical ability to motivate. What does that mean for me? I start each day with a precise list of what I want to accomplish. Knowing that you will be following up on what I have committed to accomplish has gotten me into action. I especially like it when you ask me what I can acknowledge myself for - you call it an "Attaboy." I have now begun to think of "Attaboys" myself. It's so much nicer to be recognizing the great work that I do in addition to analyzing what I can do better. I am extremely lucky to have found you, and I'm giving myself an "Attaboy" for picking you as my coach." Norma Siciliano, Speaker and consultant "Since you have started coaching me, my confidence and income levels have increased tremendously. You have a unique supportive style; your compassion and encouragement makes it difficult to do anything but succeed. Before working with you I felt unprepared, and anxious about promoting my professional speaking and my coaching services. Your straightforward, and accurate direction made me feel like a pro in a very short time. You helped me to successfully negotiate my first paid professional speaking engagement. Your prudent business recommendation to my potential client absolutely cinched the deal for me. Not only did you give me the buoyancy to promote my coaching services, but you gave me the perfect advice with regard to pricing, and pacing the sessions. In the first two months my income increased by 50%." Coach Craig combines a direct style with a genuine caring. He is all about "do what you say you will" and then holds you accountable.
