"I found myself lacking focus and direction which was preventing me from achieving goals and a healthy balance between work and life.
The approach Roy takes to coaching is far more comprehensive than simple accountability.
He is a master at designing ones success within the framework of their personality.
Through my work with Roy I transitioned out of my dual role of manager/salesperson to full time administrator. This transition lead to many accomplishments including the following:
1. Acquired a local competitor and combined the two companies increasing market presence and my sales force.
2. Identified (and continue to implement) my vision for the company culminating in the purchase, remodel, and unveiling of a new "state of the art" office building.
3. Realized 60% growth in commissions compared to previous year.
4. Improved Broker/Employee satisfaction and attracted new sales team members.
5. Regained excitement about my career and profession."

What is Coaching?
The ICF (International Coach Federation, 2008)
Code of Ethics
Definition of Coaching
Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
A professional coaching relationship: A professional coaching relationship exists when coaching includes a business agreement or contract that defines the responsibilities of each party.
An ICF Professional Coach: An ICF Professional Coach also agrees to practice the ICF Professional Core Competencies and pledges accountability to the ICF Code of Ethics.
In order to clarify roles in the coaching relationship, it is often necessary to distinguish between the client and the sponsor. In most cases, the client and sponsor are the same person and therefore jointly referred to as the client. For purposes of identification, however, the International Coach Federation defines these roles as follows:
Client: The “client” is the person(s) being coached.
Sponsor: The “sponsor” is the entity (including its representatives) paying for and/or arranging for coaching services to be provided.
In all cases, coaching engagement contracts or agreements should clearly establish the rights, roles, and responsibilities for both the client and sponsor if they are not the same persons.
