"You are like the ultimate best friend, who
is always looking at me as
the best I can be, often beyond what I can see in myself. You
have a great way of having me take personal responsibility for my life
without any kind of "making wrong" about it. There's a
simplicity when you facilitate an "aha" moment for me, like I think "of
course" and it's a realization and materialization of a thought that's
been lingering in my head for probably most of my life, and I finally
get to acknowledge and do something with that thought. Like
make it work for me, or see how it doesn't work for me and get rid of
it.
The ultimate best friend thing is that for all you know and have done,
for all your education, experience, travels, and your ability to really
cause huge breakthroughs for me, you are not intimidating.
You are very accessible and make me feel a great comfort when in your
presence.
I can also tell that you get as much out of coaching me because you so
love what you do and love making a difference in my life, and are
probably like that with the rest of your clients."

"Last fall I was looking to get some support
for my business,
which was growing faster than I could handle. At the same time I was
introduced to Allison Schwartz, MA who is a professional coach. I was
impressed by her education, experience, and her accolades. We
have had a fantastic working relationship and I now consider her a
friend in addition to a trusted adviser. Most importantly, Allison has
helped me to produce results at a level that I really did not think was
possible before. At the time my greatest challenge was dealing with
employees and the companies growing work force. With Allison's help,
not only have I overcome this obstacle, it has become one of the most
rewarding aspects of my work.
Some of the specific ways she has helped include:
Feel Competent
Managing People. Before working with Allison I was
intimidated by the daunting task of managing people. I spent many hours
dealing with employee problems, and trying to find employees that were
the right fit for the company was challenging. Now I feel competent, I
have amazing people working for me, and I spend little time dealing
with problems because I know how to be a great manager.
Let Go of Control and
Frustration. Before working with Allison I was
constantly frustrated because my employees were under-performing and
not meeting my expectations. Now I understand each employees strengths
and weakness and can give them work appropriate to their skill level.
Having Fun. Before
working with Allison I did not associate fun and
work together - work was work and did not involve any fun in the
workplace. I've changed my perspective and now have fun every day at
work. It is a whole new way of doing business."

really earned your
money this month. I feel that your guidance is very
beneficial. So much so that I have begun telling my
colleagues about your services and how much you have helped
me. Your job is very similar to mine in a sense that the more
successful your clients are the more successful you become."
Financial
Advisor
"Allison you are a great coach , direct and
effective. You have taught
me to simplify my goals, and gain the skills and confidence to achieve
them. I feel very lucky to have you support me on my road to
even greater success. Thank you Allison for your help and
support in getting me back on track in what a few months ago my life
and I were in a a big mess."

clarity and your insight. I was given a clear path to achieve
my goals."
