About Jody Eagen, the coach

‘I have become more effective in my role as president and I have helped specific staff to become more effective in their role in the organization.’

President, PR Firm

"Jody helped me calm my self in a very stressful time for my business as we were scaling our business quickly across Canada to accommodate a huge new partner. He helped me see blind spots or weaknesses in my thinking and why, I was thinking that way. I was able to make enormous progress over the last quarter and Jody was a big factor in this occurring!"

Chris Thomson, President, Student Works Painters

" All is going really well. I'm really enjoying my work here but it's pretty hectic and not much time left over on any given day. I have to say, the coaching and workshop sessions have really helped me get through many situations in the last 6 months. Amazing how that "stuff" sticks!

Nina Wilson, Investment Advisor (6 months after the last coaching session)

"We are a team of three professionals and we asked Jody to help our team re-focus and develop a business plan for the upcoming year. We felt that our team had run out of steam and that we were in a “rut”. We were uncertain whether we should disband and go our separate ways, or that we had hit a form of “writers block”.

Quite simply Jody was great. He helped us think “outside the box” and also to realize the individual strengths, talents and personality traits that we each bring to the team and how this is a significant contributor to our success. Jody is easy to talk to and quick to understand a situation. He gave us objective feedback that helped us to think more clearly about the goals and strategies we wanted to pursue. He got us re-focused and re-energized.

Our future as a team, and our individual career paths, are much more certain today than before utilizing Jody’s coaching services."

D.S Invesment Advisor, Ajax , Ontario

" Probably the best recommendation my boss has made to me was to tap into a coaching program with Jody Eagen. Jody's coaching has assisted me to attain a level of awareness for alternate methods of dealing with any given situation. By expanding this awareness, it has been possible for me to achieve many of the goals I have set. My boss has really noticed the positive results."

Sue Kennedy RN, Barrie, Ontario.

" I came to you not quite sure if I could get over my feelings of inadequacy and therefore lacking the ability to speak in groups larger than three. In one month you taught about how we all come with baggage that fogs up our view of ourselves and the world around us. The biggest learning for me was that I was not responsible to change people's minds or views but rather just "speak MY TRUTH". I speak my truth on a daily basis now. Whether it is at home or in a professional setting. I no longer get nervous. … I've shed my old beliefs that weighed me down and prevented me from excelling and becoming this confident and well spoken Angie.

Jody, thank you for you patience, compassion, guidance and expertise. I can't stop speaking about what an excellent coach you are. You have truly changed my life!!!!"

Angie Pettyjohn Entrepreneur, Oakville, Ontario

"I found my coaching sessions with Jody to be very helpful. It was extremely helpful to have his objective input, which allowed me to see things in a different perspective. He was most supportive, but was able, in a tactful manner, to point out when I was off track. I found him to be very skilled and knowledgeable and this comes from someone who has worked in the counselling feild for years. I feel that the coaching has provided me with some new tools and strategies to deal with situations where I find myself reacting in a non constructive manner.

To summarize, it was a most positive experience and I'm sure I will take my new found strategies and make them work in a positive way for myself and those around me. "

About Jody Eagen, the trainer and facilitator

'... Jody is a dynamic presenter but more importantly an exceptional facilitator.... Jody knows his audience...Jody's primary concern is their learning. ... Most people are only too thrilled and willing to provide others with advice, often which is inappropriate. The truest and most effective facilitators provide the support the participants need to do this work on their own. Jody is such a facilitator.'

Sara McLennan
President, The McLennan Group, Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario

'I have participated in several seminars with him as the program leader and find his style very respectful and yet challenging. He carries a belief and enthusiasm for his subject matter which helps to create an atmosphere to maximize participation. He is an exceptional listener who has the perception to ask questions which allow me to obtain a greater clarification of my issue. There is an honest curiosity and sincerity in Jody's questions, never judgment.'

Janice Pfaff

His commitment to assisting others, combined with his professionalism, respect and sense of humour make attending a course led by Jody a pleasure!'

Diane Wilson
National Sales Manager, Toronto, Ontario

'...shows respect for each individual and makes them feel that they are very special and unique...never judgmental towards anything someone had to say or towards anyone at any time ...listens for more than what is just being said to deeper hidden issues.'

Adrienne Davidson
Accounting Consultant, Toronto, Ontario

About "Authentic Leadership"

'I have clarified my values in the past but what I found extremely valuable today is understanding the difference between 'what I want us both to bring to the table', 'what I bring the the table' and 'what I take away from the table' . Clarifying these really allows me to apply what I used to call values on a daily basis."

'My major learning was understanding how my values, assets and cravings govern my behaviour.'

'A real booster and big step to "getting there".'

'A major learning for me was my personal vision.'

'A great one day investment.'

'...getting clarity about what is most important at this time, review what is holding me back and how to make tangible, measurable progress in achieving my goal.'
