Our Clients | The Center for Positive Change

COMMENT... My work with Tim Berry has been both enlightening and cathartic, and while I recognize I still have a long way to go, I am very pleased with our work together. As a 25 year veteran of publicly traded companies in various management roles, I realize that I've needed more than just fine tuning, I've evolved to the point of re-tooling. And if I've learned anything over the years it's that my relationships with others, and ultimately with myself, affect a desired outcome.

I have usually relied on intuition, particularly when maneuvering through uncharted waters. I always try to identify the basic elements of the challenge, whether its lack of information, experience, pride, fear or greed, and have learned to realize that no matter how much time is invested, one clearly can't anticipate all of the hurdles. As confident as I may be, I can still be blind sided, sometimes severely, which can fuel introspection, doubt, and, heaven forbid, failure.

Unfortunately, there are few people in our lives who can provide an objective, clear third-party assessment of performance. Not from a numbers perspective, but from a personal growth oriented perspective. We all need coaching, and we tend to rely on friends, clergy, family, and mentors to provide it - if we have the courage to reach out. But if we do, the help provided by these people is usually inconsistent if not biased, and not always based in experience. And we tend not to completely open up for many reasons.

I wanted help from someone who specialized in coaching, so decided to take a big step in my life and admit to myself that I needed to change the way I viewed myself and the challenges at hand. I wanted results, and the typical every other week for an hour scenario didn't fit.

I signed on with Tim for an intensive series of two-hour leadership coaching sessions, knit together with daily follow up calls. Sometimes those calls could last as long as 45 minutes. While I was initially concerned about the time commitment, it proved to be invigorating. Literally, within a week I was able to identify and understand many of the issues, which were indeed blind siding me, and began to formulate a life plan to alter my patterns of behavior.

If you are in need of re-tooling or even fine-tuning, I highly recommend contacting Tim to discuss how he can direct positive change in your life.
