I completed 6 months of coaching with Don Goodeve in January of 2018. In that time, things got very real. The changes I experienced during my sessions and the transformations which happened in the weeks between my appointments really shook things up. There were moments of discomfort, times of grief, laughter, resistance, frustration, joy, and grace. I was called to a higher version of myself. Life became unrecognizable. I highly recommend Don Goodeve as a Coach. His attentive and thorough assessment of my life's vision allowed for an insightful and transformative experience. I was fully supported along this journey. I continue to feel his influence in my decision making and regard my time working with him in great reverence.
I had the pleasure of working with Don for a good long stretch, as I wanted to increase my effectiveness and clarity of purpose across both business and personal arenas. The weekly exercises and sessions were a lot of effort, energy and commitment – exactly what is required to affect real change. Now, I’m far less encumbered and far more focused on what’s important and how to get results. Clarity of purpose is matched with clarity of thought. Time is no longer wasted on ‘what-ifs’ and instead is coveted and spent on things that contribute directly to the happiness of my family & myself. I look forward to working with Don again in the future.
Don is a very fine business coach. I have no hesitation recommending him to business professionals needing a fresh perspective on how to approach their work, or who are considering a change in their professional orientation. He is very bright, supremely engaged as a coach, and he asks good, hard questions. And is great at following up. He made a big difference to my analysis and understanding of a particular set of business concerns. Thank you Don! Top Qualities: Great Results, High Integrity, Creative.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first dialed Don for an intro call, since I never really knew what a Life Coach would provide. During that call I quickly realized how effective this kind of support could be during the transitional period of my life I was experiencing. Through our work together he guided me into a way of thought that allowed me to take control of my life again and decide my own future. I appreciate him as a coach and person, would recommend him wholeheartedly to others.
Don demonstrates an amazing insight into the mechanics of motivation and human potential. I'm a creative person by profession and like most, I'm weird. My problems are creative. My objections are creative. Where others have found this disturbing, Don finds an engaging universe to explore. He walks fearlessly with me through the landscape of my inhibitions and expectations. Just when I think the road has grown too narrow and dwindles to a place I have to go alone, he surprises me with well grounded positivity, goals, and direction. I've found Don to be a rewarding confidante and mentor helping me grow from a creative person into a true creative professional.
I worked with Don weekly for seven months through a period of serious life change. Don’s coaching style is approachable and affirming, and his presence is calming and strong. He has an knack for skillfully unpacking a situation and uncovering thinking habits. He brought a toolbox of insightful metaphors, perspectives, and exercises to our sessions that provided clarity and promoted understanding. Between sessions, his practices helped extend and solidify my learning. I laughed, I cried, I learned, and I changed. I cannot thank Don enough for walking with me as I navigated my way into new personal and professional terrain.
Don challenged me to dig deeper in finding my true motivations. He helped me to simplify and refine my life purpose. There was always a safe place to lower barriers and explore areas I was not conscious of before. He was instrumental in unblocking my visioning process, and helped me gain awareness of how I limit myself. I am operating on a whole new level now, with a renewed perspective and profound understanding of myself, my goals and aspirations, my strengths as well as my weaknesses.
