Clients Speak: Coaching, Facilitation and Presentation Feedback
Coaching Small
Business Owners Toward Success
"It is hard
to imagine where either I or my business would be today without Dan. He
has led me through a major reorganization of my CPA firm with all the
attendant emotional fervor. Our conversations move easily from statistics,
budgets and revenue goals to how to disengage from a difficult client.
He asks questions that lead me to my own answers! He is kind and brilliant
and supportive and fearless. One of the great finds of my career."
-- Randy Joseph, CPA
"Working with Dan, I found tools to build the structure to support my dreams. Dan encouraged me to create resources both within and without that would take me toward my goal. He wanted me to do well and encouraged me to listen to my own inner voice."
-- Phil Wood, Seattle Times Columnist & Principal,
Phil Wood Garden Design

Coaching for Thriving
Careers
"Dan, I am
happy to report I was honored as “Entrepreneur of the Year" at our Annual
Operating Plan meeting for my various contributions this year. I feel
I have made great strides with our coaching and sincerely thank you for
your help."
-- Ian Bennett, Director of Technical Support, StockPot
Foods
"My co-workers
just asked me for your phone number so they can call and thank you for
the work you and I have done together! I want to thank you, too."
-- Grant Simpson, General Superintendent, Snyder Roofing
"I came to coaching
after leaving a job that had quite frankly 'taken the stuffing right out
of me.' Dan’s empathy, support and wisdom helped me work through and define
what was really important to me in my work and personal life. I can’t count
the number of times Dan said 'I know you CAN do xyz, but do you WANT to
do xyz?' Dan asked me the tough questions and pushed me to stay true to
my core values. I now have a plan to help me realize my true passions and
the commitment and resolve to see my plan through to completion."
-- Maggie
Moran, Health Care Association Executive
"As my coach,
Dan Kennedy acts as my ally in making sure that I keep my commitments
to myself, my goals and my deeply-held values. By asking me powerful questions
and acknowledging my strengths, Dan helped me through a major career transition
this last year. His coaching has produced results in terms of my personal
and professional satisfaction."
-- Mary Santiago, Coach, Consultant
"You have
been very generous with your empathy, enthusiasm and genuine interest
in my progress. Thank you for making such an important contribution to
this very pivotal time in my life's journey."
-- Bart Dellinger,
Software Marketing Executive

Life Coaching
"I originally
came to you seeking guidance to help me focus on my goals and gain balance
in my life. That is exactly what you helped me do but the most important
end result was propelling me to a realization as to what's significant
and meaningful in life. Only then have I been able to develop my goals
and focus on achieving them."
-- Morris Pettit, Founder, An Internet
Solution Provider Company
"You are an
amazing coach. Thank you."
-- Karen Hallis, Attorney & Coach
"I am very
glad I chose coaching as a step towards achieving balance in my life.
Thanks to you, Dan, I was able to define what my passion is and put together
the plan to make it happen. I can hardly believe the ease and great sense
of accomplishment of being on the right path. Incredible events and opportunities
happen daily and I now know that with my commitment, it will continue.
The fact that you made sure I was a good fit before taking me on gave
me more confidence in knowing it was a good decision, too, and I respect
your professionalism in that decision. You will hear more of me, Dan,
as I send referrals your way! Thanks again for a great experience!"
-- Heidi Weston, Human Resource Executive and Consultant

Coaching Presentations
for Professional
and Organizational Success
"Dan is a great teacher. I recently attended a coaching workshop he led and was amazed at how much I learned during those three hours. Not only does he know his material, but he knows how to help others learn. Rather than filling us with lots of information, he quickly got us coaching each other, then coached us on our coaching, and by the end we all had more skills than when we arrived. And, it was fun!"
-- Diane Darling, Pastor, Alki United Church of Christ
"Your presentation
on coaching as a strategy for employee retention and development was great!
My class of 50 HR professionals was very pleased with both the content
and the way in which you delivered the program. They especially enjoyed
the practice exercises. Thank you very much for your involvement."
-- Sue
Salget, Adjunct Faculty, University of Washington Human Resource Management
Certificate Program
"I have been
proud to run the Continuing Education Business and Professional Development
Programs at Bellevue Community College for 19 years. One reason for our
ongoing success is the caliber of our instructors, like Dan Kennedy. Dan
facilitated a variety of coaching courses for supervisors and managers
from around the greater Seattle area for us for five years and he constantly
received excellent reviews from our students. Personally, I found Dan
to be a pleasure to work with— a real professional in the best sense of
the word—and I can easily endorse him and his work."
-- Dr. Adele Becker, Director, Bellevue Community College Continuing Education
"Your style
of delivery was excellent and you communicated your points in a clear
and concise manner. The entire presentation was of benefit to our membership.
We are confident that you were the best and most professional speaker
we could have engaged for this topic."
-- Kim Alexander, President
Puget Sound Career Development Association
"Dan has been
a pleasure to work with. He has great enthusiasm for the subject of coaching
which has been infectious."
-- Ruth Johnston, Ph.D., Associate
Treasurer University of Washington
"Your presentation
was a real hit. I could easily see that everyone in the session was fully
engaged and very interested in your approach to coaching (me too, of course!).
Thanks for presenting a great session-we're looking forward to offering
your upcoming class as a sequel."
-- Anne Reid, Course Developer
University of Washington Training & Development
"Thanks Dan!!
This training was timely and extremely useful and has been the best I've
seen in sixteen years at the U. This is one process I intend to keep honed."
-- Mark Landis, Student Loans and Receivables University of Washington

Facilitating for
Effective Change
"Thank you
for an extremely effective job done for the Management Team for the West
Region. It was revealing to see some of the specific issues that surfaced
in that discussion and in subsequent dialogue. We have needed a catalyst
to get us into deeper and richer discussion regarding the goals of the
organization and how they are carried forward through our individual and
team activities. You did a masterful job of framing the possibilities
and we are better people as a result of having worked with you."
-- Leland White, Regional Director AARP

Presenting on Change
and Career Success
"Dan, your workshop is getting very positive reviews today. Thank you so much for providing such a great experience for me and the rest of the staff."
-- Karen Holt Luetjen, Executive Director, Seattle Tilth
“Of all the sessions
I attended, I got the most out of yours. In fact, it resonated with me
so much that I found myself getting emotional, so much so that I even
felt tears of joy welling up, as they do when one discovers a profound
truth.”
-- Jeff James, Principal, Net Enabled Technologies
"You were
great! As you can see from the enclosed summary of evaluations, you really
spoke to the heart and the interests of our members. I am already thinking
about when and how to work with you again."
-- Donna Cameron,
CAE, Executive Director Home Care Association of Washington
"The Northwest
Career, Job & Education Expo commits 35 of the top speakers and trainers
in the Seattle area to deliver workshops two times a year to 8,000+ attendees.
We are honored to feature Dan among that list. He is an excellent communicator
and trainer demonstrating that rare ability to grab hold of the audience
and get them involved!"
-- Sharon Kaffer, CTS President, Kaffer Communications
