Conner

Conner introduced me to coaching and our work together has changed my life. I have learned so much about myself and what I want. Her coaching has helped me see what is possible and she has supported me taking many positive steps in my personal and professional life. I am so pleased to recommend Conner as a coach. With Conner's help I live a full and satisfying life where I am conscious of the choices I am making for myself each day. She has been such a strong advocate for me and I am grateful for her insights and encouragement.

I’m surprised when I look back over the two years since I began the coaching process. I feel so differently about so many things. I have a better understanding of how and why my life has turned out the way it has and some acceptance of what’s happened.

If I were to think of my life as a house, coaching has helped me stand outside and look at it. To walk around and see it from different angles. To look in the windows and understand what’s going on. To want to spend time inside it.

My friends tell me that I’m happier, that I look like a different person. I’m learning to trust myself more and believe in my instincts. Coaching is hard work but joyful too. It’s like learning how to find your way home.

Conner keeps me focused and helps me remember who I am and where I’m going. This may sound pretty basic, but believe me it’s not. She gives me energy, commitment and insight. Conner shows me things that at some level I already knew but would never have found by myself.

As the owner and president of a company that develops, manufacturers and markets home medical equipment I often feel overwhelmed by the demands of a growing business with 25 employees. I was letting the business rule my life. Regular coaching sessions with Conner Loomis has helped me sort out and prioritize the many demands and to chart a course for making the business work for me, not the other way around.

Conner is an incredible listener and has an uncanny ability to pick up the important themes and issues; to hone right in on what matters most. The coaching process is a dialog and Conner asks questions as a way to gently help me discover what I need to do or not do at the pace I choose. The value of coaching is that it ensures I spend some time on a regular basis focusing on my relationship to the business. It has been very helpful that Conner is a warm, non-judgmental and supportive presence. I recommend her highly without hesitation.

We had created a Management Team which met weekly to discuss “big” issues. This sounded simple in theory, but the execution was not so smooth. We met on a weekly basis and found these meetings often lacked focus and were simply not effective. We also experienced some clashes among group members. We weren’t interested in a canned approach to our situation. Several of us had been individually coached by Conner, and were very impressed with her style. We felt that she and Geoff would be ideal candidates to help us learn how to work together more effectively.

During our sessions we explored our preferred style of interaction and learned a valuable meeting model. Now our meetings are better planned, executed, and shorter. And the concept of rotating roles on a weekly basis is important in our desire to interact in a collaborative manner. This collaborative approach to problem solving has created a level playing field were we are all equal. We left the initial session knowing we had a lot of work ahead of us, but feeling really good about the tools Conner and Geoff provided to facilitate this. And unlike many “courses” we have all taken, we actually implemented (and still use one year later) the methods we discussed. This is a result of the time Conner and Geoff took to find out what we were like, what style we could work with and gave us tools that we could believe in. Their exploratory approach to discovery and learning really makes sense.

Geoff

Geoff is an excellent coach in that he not only helps me to see more and different perspectives in any given situation, but he is teaching me how to identify HOW to see them so that I am better able to make balanced decisions in the future.

In Geoff’s coaching process I always felt fully respected. The sessions hit the point and made a real, substantial difference in focusing my many professional business projects and integrating them into a healthy live path. I must say Geoff’s coaching is 100% trustworthy, genuine and effective.

My life was in turmoil. I had been neglecting my business and was having difficulty identifying where I wanted to go. Working with the support and guidance of Geoff as a coach, I am able to establish and set goals in my business life that have moved me in a new direction.

The coaching sessions with Geoff helped me find perspective and fine-tune my own insights, so that I was able to navigate through some particularly challenging times in my work. He exercised just the right balance of listening and intervention, encouragement and challenge, so that I was able to take risks, learn from my experience, and grow--both personally and in my professional role. I would definitely recommend Geoff's services to others.

Senior Executive, Communications Industry

I received on-going coaching sessions from Geoff Crinean during a time when I was putting my life energy into other people and commitments without asking myself what it is I want to be doing. With Geoff's insightful questions and encouragement I began to look at my life differently, I began to included my wishes in my life plans. While the main reason I began receiving coaching was to better utilize my time for my business, the outcome of the coaching was much more extensive than what I had imagined. Geoff taught me to look at all the aspects as my life and to really listen to my inner wisdom about which of those activities were best for me to put my energy into. I also learned to leave time with no plans at all and find that I am enjoying my life more than before I came to Geoff for his help. I highly recommend Geoff Crinean as a life coach, he is encouraging, humorous, serious and committed to helping his clients have the type of life that works for them and those they meet in the process.

Geoff has been my coach for the last five months. I began the coaching process with him knowing he had a strong background in business and I hoped to learn some business skills and especially how to augment my income-- a very big priority!

Coaching has been very beneficial to me particularly in my professional life, and to my surprise has affected other areas of my life as well! Not only am I learning through Geoff's guidance how to reach my financial and professional goals; the coaching has extended to help me to begin to realize a variety of aspirations concerning my physical health, psychological and spiritual well-being, and personal and work related relationships. It has especially been useful in helping me learn how to manage more effectively the many demands, responsibilities and activities I have in my very full life.

I find that in working with Geoff he encourages me to set the agenda about what we really need to address, and allows me to work through issues in a way that my mind can understand, and that feels natural and logical. He continues to help me in articulating and clarifying my goals, and to systematically organize myself and the processes I need in order to attain them. It seems to me coaching is not just about achieving certain goals either, but about learning the skills to shape my life in the best way possible, that is truly suited to me.

The best thing about the coaching is Geoff himself. He is very skilled at making me feel relaxed and able to share things about myself and my life that as much as I would like, I might not be able to reveal to people in general. His approach is one of genuine caring about the well-being of others, and even though he is brilliant and perceptive, what makes the coaching work for me is that the work comes from the heart. I have recommended Geoff's coaching to my best friend, who also finds it very helpful, and I would recommend it to anyone without any hesitation. For me it has been an excellent investment of my precious time. And one very important thing I forgot to mention-- coaching is a lot of fun!
