"I have enjoyed the one-on-one connection and guidance from outside of my company! It is really refreshing to be able to sit down with someone outside of your management team to discuss areas of struggle and receive direction on how to improve/hone your skills and grow as a leader.
These sessions have helped build and establish a new confidence in my own leadership abilities. At times I have lacked the ability to be confident in how I handle various assignments or tough conversations. But with great coaching and support, I have found ways to become better prepared and confident when facing those tougher days.
You get out of these sessions what you put into them or make them.
I have really enjoyed our meetings and am always looking forward to the next one!"

I enjoyed the lack of formality and it being open discussion without the question-and-answer dance. If the process is too formal, people will not open up.
I also appreciated Scott asking challenging questions. Makes the coachee think through what could be improved or done better. Sometimes the coachee may be in “denial” or with “head stuck in the sand” and needs a little reality check from an outside party.

I enjoyed the perspective from someone who has seen a lot more than I. You did a good job zeroing in on my needs and being able to reference people/books that had a positive impact on what I was searching for. Playful banter is always appreciated as well.
I learned a lot for sure on time management and several book recommendations. I think the structure of the calls have been refined well and work effectively.
Your ability to focus in on needs, offer suggestions on resources to fit those needs and being humble enough to discuss your own failures and needs made it seem more like a back and forth and not so much like I’m an inefficient baboon and you’re my night in shining armor.
Men, and in particular Veterans (in my experience) do not like to be helped or fixed. We do like to be upgraded though and I felt this was through the sessions.

Setting aside time to think about, and process meaningful topics with you has helped me to put better leadership into practice. Particularly, prioritizing the health and happiness of my team above production.
The sessions have helped me to have a more thoughtful approach to being more strategic, and less tactical, focusing on the “Why”.

The coaching sessions have really helped me focus on a handful of actions that I can put into effect right now to help make my team better. The sessions helped me focus more on grooming these guys to take my place, and coaching them through new challenges.
The one-on-one sessions were a really big help. Sitting down with someone who is putting their personal time and effort into your growth and development is motivating. It really helped me to focus on what my team needs, and how to lead them.
A huge Thank You!

Coaching calls with Scott provide a safe, unbiased sounding board. It is hard to talk to someone who knows too much about your organization or has interest in the outcome.
Definitely validated my feelings that I need to pro-actively move out of the details as the organization grows and force decisions to be made by managers.
There has to a good rapport between the coach and coachee or it won’t work. I felt I had that with Scott

I appreciated the relaxed format, allowing for fluid discussion and an evolution of the conversation that I found fun.
I’ve enjoyed how we’ve been able to apply tools discussed in our groups, some that I’ve been using for some time, for my professional development. Introspection (Be/Have/Do, vision board) is a muscle that I did not use often, but through our coaching sessions I am learning to develop and enhance these skills.
To elaborate, being more introspective is helping me establish specific professional objectives, allowing me to leverage my talents and skills to achieve my goals.
Thank you very much for your time, attention and honest feedback

I enjoyed our sessions a lot. We are a good personal fit.
We are all very busy. I keep dedicating time because I find value in our coaching calls, I mean on top of your incredible charm and sense of humour.
Our sessions helped me self-reflect and think clearly on situations where I was (or could have been) uncomfortable.
You helped me find the key to prepare and address these situations with confidence

Coaching calls with Scott created accountability for me and continuing conversations or actions from before. Overall, just the best coach who had the best personality ever….
Scott helped me see and think a little outside the box and the realm of just my current role. How can I improve personally and in my career overall?
Coaching encouraged some creativity on my part and I like that, to be challenged a bit

What I enjoyed about the coaching sessions, besides the pleasure of getting to know you, was learning tools and techniques from a 3rd party (outside source) that really allowed for a “new” way to look at, approach and ultimately problem solve. These tools also translated over to a personal level as well.
Working with Scott as my coach has helped me to better define priorities, learn what makes “me” tick and how to apply how I work with how others work and find a common ground for mutual success or completion. Also to not take myself so seriously 😊
I found the entire program to be hugely beneficial to me personally…. after so many years in this business and the number of training classes I have participated in, I was surprised by how much was gained by me through the classes and exercises. I recommended to my Sr. Leadership that everyone participate in these sessions.

What I enjoyed about the coaching process was the ease of conversation, opportunity to discuss real-life experience examples and the openness to going where to conversation takes us. Professionally, they are a medium where I can convey my experiences and reflect. Additionally, the main points of the course are drilled even further

The coaching sessions were very open and easy going but also helped to challenge aspects of my thoughts on working challenges.
One on One coaching with Scott is very useful to discuss real challenges and to come away with different perspectives on how to handle them. Having a forum to discuss practical issues outside of the organization was helpful and act as a check to the approach I was adopting
It is good for my general confidence in approach. It was great to meet and work with you!

I really appreciate the way that you are able to personalize the coaching strategy, especially your willingness to having an open mind to learning more about the person you are working with and gearing the sessions to fit the means. Your abilities and skillfulness to make the person think about themselves, their areas identified for improvements, as well as finding their hidden gems of value-added that each person has the capability to achieve.
It’s great to get honest feedback as to areas needing improvements, reinforced by your positive attitude, knowledge and suggestions. The one on one sessions have given me the ability to reflect on my current & future skill sets. The follow up calls have helped keep me on track as to continuing to achieve my goals and the ongoing journey to being open to the coaching process. The most important coaching lesson that you have given me has been the work/life balance!
What can I say…best coach ever…lifelong friend…motorcycle ride in the future

I am an accomplished senior business development professional leader with over 30 years of experience in a variety of industry sectors.
I have held business development and leadership positions in many different industries: 7 years in construction reporting (Southam), 15 years in telecommunications (Sprint Canada and Rogers), 3 years in professional services (KPMG) and 2 years in software development (Protegra). The diversity of these experiences has provided me with challenging yet rewarding lessons and a unique perspective that allows me to better support my clients across a variety of industries and experience levels.
More recently, I have worked at growing my consulting practice and joined forces with The Envision Group, to provide Business Development and Leadership Development training and coaching. I have assisted and advised clients in oil and gas, renewable energy, technology startups, telecommunications and various nonprofits.
"As I progress in my professional journey, I have come to genuinely appreciate the value and pride that comes with having the opportunity to help someone else on their professional journey."
Whether training a group of people or coaching an individual one on one, I take seriously the responsibility to help someone evolve their skills and take that next step. That said, I make sure we have some fun along the way.
Locally here in Winnipeg, I have worked with clients that include Tech MB, North Forge, CPHR Manitoba, QNET, the United Way and World Trade Centre Winnipeg.
