Coaching with Ted is always a breath of fresh air. Regardless of the state of my mind or the chaos happening in real life, taking time to reflect on myself and what my real priorities are has allowed me to gain a much deeper sense of self. This, in turn, has allowed me to direct my daily activities around those priorities and has kept me grounded.
Ted offers helpful analysis with patience and clarity. During meetings Ted seems to hold his comments for the appropriate time and then offers his thoughts in a clear and concise manner. He works towards building consensus and creating purpose. He is friendly, collegial, and insightful. Ted is a great choice for leading teams, serving others, or implementing new ideas
Ted made collaboration easy because he is positive, competent, administrative, and engaging.
Ted is a mentor of mine, who has helped me to navigate my career/professional life in the past 3+ years. Ted is someone I trust and look to for guidance and advice. He offers wonderful insight, perspectives, and advice that has always been rooted in integrity and knowledge. Ted is a positive presence to all who encounter him.
I first met Ted when we served on the YFC board together. I admired Ted’s communication style and his knowledge of systems and technology. Ted is very diplomatic and has the ability to hear everyone’s opinion and see the commonality to form the solution. Most recently I am working with Ted as my coach. Ted brings authenticity to each session that allows me to bring my true authentic self and open up during each session. He challenges me each meeting to dig deeper and seek my solutions. I would highly recommend Ted and his services.
Ted is someone you want around when you have a problem to solve. I think he actually enjoys the challenge of finding solutions to seemingly impossible problems. He diagnoses the problem and then examines how best to address that problem. If Ted is working in a group, he creates an environment where people feel safe to offer creative solutions.
I found Ted to be a man of unimpeachable integrity, humility and dedication to helping people achieve their vision. It is little wonder that he receives the respect and cooperation of those around him.
Ted is able to build consensus, and he is a dependable leader who shows up every day.
