What my customers are saying.....
"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!"
Matthew Baker
Field Service Supervisor
Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure
"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."
Javier Franco
Product Director – Controls & Analytics
HMH
"I think the coaching calls were adequate time for meaningful discussion and short enough not to be too disruptive.
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”."
Jason Andrews
Regional Manager
Kimray
"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!"
Cassidy Smith
Regional Sales Manager
Milestone Environmental Services, LLC.
"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"
Marcia Preston
General Manager, Hunting Energy Services – Subsea Technologies
"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."
Russell Holz
Exec. National Acct. Manager
MRC Global
"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."
Benoit CHAMBERT-LOIR
Development and Innovation
Global Key Account Manager
Oilfield Services
"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"
Amanda O’Connor
Warehouse Manager
NOV Rig Technologies
"What I enjoyed about the coaching sessions, besides getting 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."
Dawn Witt
Exec. National Acct. Manager
MRC Global
"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"
Peyton McGinnis
Outside Sales
AUGE Business Development Group
"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!"
Matt Demain
MEA Commercial Director
Exterran
"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"
Ben Braslawsce

"I enjoy the one-on-one interaction which allows more personal and meaningful discussions and progress from one session to another. The coaching program also helped me set goals and have someone hold myself accountable"
Adam Dyess | Business Development Director
Hunting Energy Services | Titan Division
"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."
Joe Murphy
Business Development Manager
Ellwood
It was helpful seeing the views of others to the questions I have. The coaching session has helped me think outside the box. It has also given me great insight on ways to conduct my everyday business to further advance my career."
Reed Neff, Regional Sales Manager-Permian
Stabill Drilling
"I enjoyed the fact that it felt more like collaboration instead of coaching- we discussed issues together and worked out practical solutions that I have not had insight to before.
Coaching reinforced the need to be more prepared and that everything can use a plan. I also am being more employee focused and taking the time to engage with teammates without judging.
It was nice to view my work behavior in an open forum, what I mean is the purpose was to become better without focusing on what I do wrong. I have also never developed a personal strategy plan and that is something on plan on doing shortly."
Chris Mencor, Director of International Sales
Kimray
"First thought was “man…1.5 hrs seems a little long”. However, I just went back and looked at our scheduled calls that we’ve had and they were 1.5 hrs and they never seemed overextended. Shorter follow up conversations were also helpful to specifically cover/touch on some things that we didn’t get to spend enough time on.
The coaching role should never be confused with being a counselor- but sometimes having the opportunity to talk freely/open about your current situation & where you want to be is refreshing.
Your viewpoints/interpretations/suggestions have been constructive & well received. It allowed me to better understand my strengths, weaknesses & other stakeholders I’m communicating with on a weekly basis (internal & external)."
Blake Matthews, Sales
Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure
"I enjoyed the focused one-on-one structure. I also enjoyed speaking on career development and strategic improvement, rather than some of the general tactics in selling (call logs, cold calling, verbal/nonverbal communication, etc.).
One on one sessions help the coachee to open up and talk through some of the topics they may not have been bold enough to discuss in a group setting"
Trevor Stribling, Exec. National Acct. Manager
MRC Global
"I liked the 1-on-1 coaching aspect in terms of being personalized to the individuals needs. Additionally, Scott is very easy to work with and shows passion for what he does! He listened, and assisted by providing some tools and ideas to address some concerns such as how I can better manage for performance, and have a positive influence on my peers."
John Connelly | Engineering Manager
NOV Completion & Production Solutions
"Coaching provided the opportunity to engage with someone who has a significant amount of experience in this realm, which was very helpful. It is nice to be able to speak with someone about the issues I come across and if there are better ways to resolve those issues than how I am currently handling them.
I believe 1 on 1 coaching forced me to take some time out of my busy schedule to focus on myself and talk with someone about how to apply the concepts that we are learning through this PESA program. In the end I think these coaching sessions are going to make me a more well-rounded person which in turn will help me coach/train other employees within my company that are not going through this program."
Roger A. Norman III, Sr. Manager, Tubular Products & Services
Frank’s International
"It’s good to meet new people and hear feedback from different sources than normal. 1:1 coaching sessions are great for direct feedback, brainstorming ways to solve current issues, or goal setting for the future."
Dustin Anderson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing
KIMRAY
"Coaching helped to take the jumbled thoughts in my head and narrow them down for me...or basically you did. So where I didn’t have a lot of focus because I wasn’t sure where to start, now I have written, achievable goals making it easier to focus on self-development rather than getting lost in day-to-day.
The coaching session was extremely helpful, especially since it’s basically tailored to my needs.”
Morgan Gautreaux, PHR
Oil States Energy Services
"It is nice to get feedback from someone who has no vested interest. You are able to provide a point of view that is simply from your knowledge, education and experience and it doesn’t rely on what you know or don’t know about the one being coached.
The coaching session provides an opportunity to the one being coached to think about the answers they provide and consider what is really important to them as an individual.
The one on one coaching session has helped me professionally because it very clearly provided the action steps necessary to get where I want to be. As well it outlines what behaviors to demonstrate who I want to be in the work place.
It was a small time commitment to get big results
I could not be happier that I had you as a coach. You have a true passion for people, you have been blessed with a fantastic sense of humor. Thank you for providing tips to help me stay focused on the big picture and making time for myself."
Kerrie Greer, Senior Operations Coordinator
Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure
"Professional development is something that's very important but not frequently talked about. Having someone who can ask me good questions and make me think about things from a new angle has helped me with some sales blind spots.
I appreciated your help so far”
Charles Jessup, Business Facilitation Manager
Technip FMC
"What I enjoyed about the coaching experience was the engagement and interaction for one, and the candid conversation for the other. It’s easier to discuss with a neutral party and there are no expectations that we are perfect, so it makes it easier to explore areas of improvement without feeling scrutinized or it being revealed as a weakness. Also, you make it a fun conversation and ask great questions.
Further, it allowed me to focus on areas of improvement and offered the opportunity for self-reflection. What am I doing well, what do I need to work on? It also inspired me to write an article and plan personal development time."
Nichola Alexander, Director, Global Marketing & Communications
Rubicon Oilfield International
"I have enjoyed the one on one feedback and conversation versus larger group coaching sessions. Seems to be more engaging and easier to exchange ideas and recommendations honestly. I think the session has helped me open up my perspective of how to go about engaging with my customers more effectively."
Jason Smith, Lead Design and Development Engineer
Vulcan Industrial
"Scott was very down to earth and drove the conversation in a worthy direction but also let it flow during at the right times. It has certainly helped me. I was mentally prepared for certain situations to arise and feel like I could adapt some of my learning to other situations in the future."
Steven Scotland | Aftermarket Manager
National Oilwell Varco
"It was helpful to have an outsider's perspective on the ins and outs for best navigating my career. Also, the notion that it is a one-to-one confidential discussion. It’s energizing to review concepts, have your thinking vetted, affirmed and also challenged.
You are a great coach with lots of good things to say. I look forward to continued discussions."
Michael Mann, Principal Engineer, Pressure Control
Weir Oil & Gas
"Getting second opinions and feedback on ideas, as well as being challenged on some preconceived ideas made me start to look at things a little differently which will help shift my approach. One on one coaching also provided a comfortable environment where I could speak freely which lead to more engagement and back and forth on concepts and ideas.
We did a follow up session which, I do not think was mandatory as part of the program, but I found it very helpful as it allowed me to use and think about the things discussed and then give/get feedback on those experiences"
Greg Howlett, Manager, Business Development & Strategy
Frank’s International
"It is nice to hear an independent opinion not necessarily within my industry/organization. We get so wrapped up in the grind with work and coworkers that it’s refreshing to take a step back and hear a different view point.
One on one coaching helped me focus on setting goals and recognizing what I’m good at. For me I tend to focus on my negatives and how to improve. While I think it's good to think about that, it can put me in a vicious circle that pulls me down.
Love the passion and dedication, it shows you do care about the quality of work you put in and trying to understand someone that you have not had prior experience or exposure to."
