Success Stories

David *
Entrepreneur David decided that the day-to-day grind of owning a business was getting him down. He hired Ingrid with the goal in mind that he wanted to sell his business and retire. Instead, during Coaching, they discovered that David actually loved new business development. In fact, he enjoyed it so much he hired someone to take over the operations while he spent his time selling. Not only has David's business grown more successful, David has significantly increased his income and is happier than he's ever been before.

Barbara *
After a rather painful divorce, Barbara found that she still needed to work along side her husband in their jointly-owned business, even though she was actually a majority owner. It proved to be particularly difficult for Barbara since she believed she needed her ex-husband's abilities more than her own. After a series of sessions and assertiveness training to strengthen her own self-esteem, Barbara found that, in fact, she was the anchor of the business and that her ex-husband was and wanted to be merely an employee who worked for her.

Testimonials

Here's what some of our clients have to say about their experience with Focus Coaching:

Ingrid Halpert, CEO of Weiss Movers and Storage
"You, as my coach, became a mirror of my goals. ... I became the holder of tools and skills that I was missing in order to focus on those goals. I have always known the direction I was going in and where I wanted to be, however, I had no clue how to get there without doing everything myself.
We worked together in categorizing items on a list of to-dos, distinguishing priorities, the advantages of delegating, my organizational skills, and the cost of my time. Your coaching and experience enabled me to lead a very successful office meeting beginning with a defined agenda and time line. By defining my intentions, I was able to reinforce the integrity of Weiss Movers, enroll my crews in the value of team play. As an organization we were able to share in the acknowledgment of individual achievement. You led me in conversations to define how I want to be recognized in the business community, how I have used my business to set a standard for the people I work with, as well as my stand and commitment for their personal growth, as well as my own."

Elizabeth Nolan, President of Women's Diagnostic Center
"As a small business owner, I miss the feedback I used to get regularly from a boss in my employment days. I found those appraisals of 20 plus years ago constructive opportunities for growth and helpful to my career. I am now experiencing a similar result from my weekly sessions with Ingrid.
I appreciate very much that she helps me stay on target with my goals. I have made significant strides in reorganizing my work life to enable me to concentrate on business growth activities, which are my key responsibilities, rather than tend to operational duties that could be delegated to others. My business had grown from one employee (me) to eleven, but I had held on to many tasks because I wanted them done my way.... The tools she has offered for self assessment have helped me gauge my strengths and weaknesses and guided me in corrective action.... This is a crucial year in my work life and with Ingrid's guidance and encouragement I know I will achieve my goals."
