“I started my own firm nearly nineteen years ago. While I was blessed with a reasonable level of success, it was never my ambition to die at my desk, working excessive hours. Institute Success™ helped me step outside my work box – the intense and volatile world of hedge fund management – and realize that elusive life of balance. He helped me pare down work and boldly build up my passion for every day.”
Taxonomy: leadership and executive coaching
Dan Garvey, President, United Brokerage Packaging
“Working with my Institute Success™ Executive Coach, we developed a set of goals that were not just based on revenue, but things I wanted to change or improve in the business. My gross sales are way up as are my profits. I am more confident in my own leadership abilities. Before I may have been tentative about making changes; now we can go forward without fear. I consider my coach as a partner who helps my business succeed while I learn and grow as a leader. The way I evaluate the investment in coaching is by looking at the bottom line—at the end of the day, I see value. It’s something every entrepreneur should experience.”
Dr. Michael Smith, Naturopathic Physician/Business Owner
“Before working with Harvey Smith, my Executive Coach, I was an entrepreneur looking for people to fill the practice without a good sense of whether or not these were the right people for us. Through coaching and using the ADVanced Insights Assessment to screen and hire, we were able to build a team of office staff and practitioners that were aligned with our goals. After working with Harvey our business grew 450% in one year!”
Chris Vigna, Business Owner
“Working with Institute Success™ helped us achieve the highest sales year since the company’s inception in 2003. Coaching pays for itself tenfold. Every meeting with my Executive Coach is highly valuable on many levels. I am not as stressed as I was; I feel that I can deal with any situation that comes my way.”
Clem Huffman, Owner of South City Print
“I have owned a printing company for 20 years, and knew that we were stagnant in sales. Being in a small business and wearing many hats often leaves me with little or no time to work on my business. I realized that I needed a confidante and coach to help me address the critical, strategic issues that I was not able to get to alone. My Institute Success™ Executive Coach has a deep personal interest in my success and pushes me in the best ways.”
