Testimonials

“Jeff is an amazing coach. He masterfully balances a structured and unstructured approach- meeting me where I was at in each moment while also challenging me to continually make progress towards establishing a life that aligns with my purpose and values. He’s a deep listener, who combines his great instincts with useful tools, resources, and models- and his deep care for his work comes across in everything he does. As a result of our work together I feel happier, more connected, and more fulfilled both personally and professionally.”

“As an Executive Coach, I have trusted Jeff’s counsel for almost 5 years bringing some of my toughest issues to him for advice. I know the value of having people smarter than me in my professional network and I hit a jackpot with Jeff! Jeff powerfully invites me to safely explore and break down my unconscious mental models that have had an adverse affect on my people and my clients. He is ready to dare as greatly as I am willing, intuitively sees through my “script”, and unfailingly calls it out even though I don’t always like it. I have modeled Jeff’s intuitive style and his ability to trust himself to allow conversations to flow through him. My long-term clients have remarked at how much more value they were receiving from our sessions after I started working with Jeff. I admire Jeff’s ability to dissolve himself and stay in service to allow space for me to discover new thoughts and new ways of being. His holistic approach has decreased my stress level, humorously put issues in perspective, emboldened me to risk wisely, provided clarity, and in some cases, I achieved a resolution. Perhaps, most importantly, I better understand my value, my place in the world, and how to use what I have more effectively.”

“Jeff led me through a transformative experience in my professional and leadership development. Through the coaching journey, I found a way forward from a challenging work situation as a leader. I have also learned to become more in touch with who I am and what my values are, and I have learned to be more honest with myself, for the good and the bad. This balance has greatly increased my sense of well-being and my confidence in the choices I make. I like Jeff’s approach of helping me develop leadership and personal visions and then use reflections to examine (mis)alignment with those visions. This type of personal exercise is easier said than done, and Jeff helped me see the connections as well as disconnects. Jeff invited me to explore my vulnerabilities in a non-judgmental way. I cannot be more grateful for having Jeff as my coach during my professional development journey.”

“I highly recommend Jeff as an executive coach. We have worked together for the past 18 months. Jeff focuses on a strengths perspective to help his client achieve the best “superhero” version of themselves. Jeff has a natural ability to empathetically understand his client’s presenting challenges while at the same time provides key insights into potential root causes of a given situation. Often times, Jeff would articulate exactly what I was thinking or feeling before I could find the words. I have grown a great deal as an executive and I am a stronger leader with Jeff’s assistance. It is without a doubt that I would refer him to any colleague seeking executive coaching.”

“ONE OF THE BEST COACHES I KNOW

I’ve known Jeff Balesh for six years, and he’s one of the most qualified coaches I’ve ever met. Jeff is a true student of his craft and never stops learning how to serve you as a coaching client better. As a former Healthcare Senior HR Business Partner, I had several conversations with Executives and Directors, who knew training alone wasn’t the solution and thus looked to coaching to provide the help they and their leaders needed.

CLIENTS RAVE ABOUT HIM

I introduced Jeff to an internal client and the rest is history. Jeff quickly oriented himself to the environment, its key players, and the leader seeking support. Within a few months, my client was singing Jeff’s praises and described how the leader engaged in coaching was excited and learning how to improve their people leadership skills. In Healthcare, the stakes are high when people are not on their “A” game. Jeff helped the leader find, engage, and consistently bring their “A” game to the diverse range of challenges they regularly faced.

I HIRED HIM AS MY PROFESSIONAL COACH

Fast forward, I started a Coaching and Training business, and as a full-time executive, I knew I had leadership skill gaps, so I called Jeff and he became my coach. In working with him, I gained new awareness and set new standards of excellence for myself that I never took the time to explore or try on my own. Jeff helped me safely explore sensitive thoughts/feelings, see trends in my behavior, and hold me accountable for considering new possibilities in our conversations. My ROI was 100X because Jeff’s impact on my ability to drive consulting and sales results were priceless.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU HIRE HIM

Bottom line, I highly recommend using Jeff Balesh for your professional/executive coaching and team-building needs.
