Testimonials
“Craig is incredibly patient and enlightened. He is unusually good at offering challenging feedback in a way that others can receive it, and breaking down difficult concepts into language that is both clear and actionable.”
“I first had a chance to work with Craig when he reviewed my practice recordings while I was a student in a coach training program. Having a chance to work with Craig in this capacity proved to be one of the genuine highlights of the program, and the feedback he offered through our work together was invaluable. ”
“I had the privilege of having Craig observe my coaching in person. After watching me Coach a Client, he offered both written and verbal feedback on my practice Coaching session. Craig picks up on nuances that only a deeply experienced Coach could see, and offers them in a way that shows how deeply skillful he is at his craft. I was honestly amazed by his ability to listen, write, and notice at the same time - then remember every detail and offer it in a way that was so beneficial. Working with Craig in this capacity was nothing short of awe inspiring. ”
“Working with Craig exceeded expectations in every way. I gave him a 12 out of 10!”
