In a four month period of coaching with Jeff Corbett I realized a long-held dream of taking a sabbatical after 30 years of self-employment. Through a combination of truly focused listening and incisive questions Jeff helped me identify the specific (writing a novel) and non-specific (spiritual inquiry) goals for my intended sabbatical, as well as an effective path to realizing those goals. I could always depend on Jeff to remember that path even when I would forget or just stop either from business or fear, and to encourage me to pursue it 150%. Although I work in a related profession I have never met anyone who was as good as he is in assisting me to remain clear and determined. Drawing upon a varied and interesting background he does this with an almost magical mix of insight, non-judgmental support, humor and relentless commitment.

Jeff,

When I decided to work with you as a coach I had no idea what to expect. I did know that I wanted certain things in my life to change but couldn’t see how those changes were going to happen. The goals that our partnership has allowed me to set and achieve were unimaginable to me. This process has allowed me to truly see my potential and I look forward to continuing this journey with you. Working with you has truly been a rewarding experience. I had no idea how rich and fulfilling life could be.

Warmly,
Tom

Jeffrey Corbett never stopped seeing me in my full potential. His stand for me was often greater than my own. What I love about Jeff and what kept me coaching with him for so long was that he encouraged me to push back and confront, whether it meant confronting him, or confronting my own fears.

Jeff Corbett's coaching/mentoring has been instrumental as I have been going through the Coaches Training Institute’s Coaching certification. Jeff and I designed our alliance so that not only does he spend time coaching me in the many challenges that life presents, but he acts as my mentor as I work towards my own coaching certification. His use of his own experiences, knowledge and expertise has truly helped me to successfully complete my certification class. I am now working with Jeff to ensure I will be ready to take the exam. Jeff's use of championing, acknowledging and challenging have made a huge difference in not only my life, but also my own coaching.

Jeff’s humor and unflinching honesty helped me name and disarm (or at least put in perspective) my own worst fears, freeing me to pursue my dreams with unprecedented focus and energy. He excels at inspiring others to actively believe and live the best part of themselves.

Jeff helped me to find a new and empowering way to be with a previously difficult situation that had me feeling righteous, confrontational, and paralyzed. His persistence in keeping me focused on myself and my own feelings and reactions, rather than on the situation, made all the difference. The solution, which seemed nonexistent at first, seems obvious in hindsight. Jeff is an absolutely masterful coach.

>>John M. DiFrancesco, New Hampshire

It’s been such a joy to work with Jeff. He is a gifted coach with powerful insights. I can always count on Jeff as my confidant and guide. Thanks to Jeff, I took a huge leap and began my journey in becoming a certified coach.

This is coming from a person who is not given to exaggeration. That being established let me say that I am in my third month of working with Jeff, and in just that short amount of time I have realized truly spectacular gains in attaining the core goals we identified at the outset of our coaching relationship. My number one goal was financial in nature, and it involved erasing a chronic monthly financial shortfall that had been persisting for awhile and that, if left unchecked, was due to produce immediate and disastrous consequences. Working with Jeff, I was able not merely to erase this shortfall, but to completely obliterate it for the foreseeable future. My return on investment with Jeff in a strictly financial sense is 2,200(twenty two hundred) percent and it is growing. At the same time we were making this happen (and he made it easy and fun rather than hard and stressful), we moved forward on the other key goals we identified collaboratively, those involving bringing core strengths and values into the center of my work. This goal attainment is less easily measured than the financial, but actually feels even more substantial.
