Jefferson and I first met at EMyth where he was a business coach, and I was selling coaching programs. When I decided to start my own coaching career I thought of him, in part because back then he had taken me through a core coaching process and it had been an amazing experience. So, I reconnected with him to help me launch myself in the business coaching field. However, after the first session I discovered that to be a great business coach, I needed to face my personal challenges and fears before I could hope to effectively coach others, and I knew, even though at times uncomfortable, I needed to have this experience.
Jefferson guided me through the process with skill, grace, and encouragement. He helped me overcome long embedded fears that were stifling my growth. This was invaluable to me as I began my coaching practice. I highly recommend him, he is an extraordinarily insightful person.

One of the biggest challenges I was facing in my life before meeting Jefferson was deciding why I wanted or needed to spend my time building any of the various projects in my mind. With so many ideas at my disposal, how could I decide which one was best for the highest good for everyone who could be impacted? There’s no way I could have known I’d leave my first session with Jefferson with so much clarity and direction about what was most important to me. And that’s not all.

Next, choosing the appropriate action and focus point was creating a substantial impact on my nervous system and until I experienced Jefferson’s patient and genuine curiosity in my authentic self focus, I was literally coming undone. Fear of getting anything if not everything wrong, was decreasing my desire to not start or launch at all.

With Jefferson, now my true friend and mentor, I have taken bold steps and substantial strides in a direction that I am proud of without compromising my nerves. I enjoy and look forward to my time spent in session for many reasons. Primarily because he doesn’t try to influence me and I can sense that he is confident in my capacity to figure things out and make decisions I wouldn’t regret later. And, still there’s more...

“My work with Jefferson was transformational. I do not use that term lightly. Timing always is a factor however, Jefferson’s unique tool kit, extensive knowledge and emotional intelligence allowed him to guide me through a process that shifted my life experience.
I am a firm believer in having humor be a part of any coaching/transformative process and Jefferson brings it well. He coaches from his lived experience and does so with a firm connection between “head and heart”.
Jefferson is intelligent, very well read, creative and an expert at combining the right approach with the right tools and processes to address whatever issues you face. I Cannot recommend him highly enough.”

Jefferson is masterful at providing a safe and supportive environment for facilitating personal transformational experiences through empowerment, inquiry, and co-creative processes. His capacity, integrity, and skill to hold, guide, and empower me to step into a fuller version of myself and life with such clarity and precision was extraordinary.

Through visioning, tasking, inquiry, and guided processes, I was able to shift out of a scarcity and victim mindset and embody a more expansive, nourished, and joyful way of being. I released deep, limiting, and conflicting thought patterns and behaviors which has resulted in consistent states of feeling balanced, integrated, and whole.

Prior to coaching I was overwhelmed with the abundance of my ‘to-do’ lists and felt powerless in my capacity to feel balanced and nourished. Through my work with Jefferson I became empowered and in control of how I spend and organize my time, and have learned new methods of calendaring, time blocking, and aligning my time with my values and priorities.

I was amazed that the specific outcomes that I defined in our initial session and the vision I created were actualized within the set timeframe of our coaching agreement. It is incredible to have experienced such deep and lasting change with such ease, grace, and in a short window of time.

As a result of the coaching and new habits, I move through my world knowing that I am in the driver’s seat of my life and that I am equipped with the tools and skills in which to keep refining, aligning, and embodying my authentic life path. Jefferson is a truly gifted healer, guide, and coach who is deeply sourced with medicine that is so needed in our world at this time.

I came into the coaching with frustrating and persistent anxiety surrounding approaching potential partners and clients. What I saw as lack of experience in selling and self-doubt hovered over me like a dark cloud.

Jefferson’s coaching pushed me to access the assets that I already had but didn’t realize were there. I realized that my “personality traits” could be used in a positive way to focus my attention on growing as a person and in my professional life.
I have become comfortable trusting myself and now exude more confidence when interacting with prospects and even my coworkers.

I used to be so defensive and assume that everyone was taking jabs at me personally, and through this process I have learned that most times it is an internal battle being projected outward onto others. This was a huge realization for me and I feel a heavy burden has been lifted.

In only 3 sessions the coaching process taught me that I already have what it takes perform at a higher level, it’s just a matter of recognizing my greater resources and using them to the fullest. Since our work together, I’ve garnered serious attention from two of our most prominent clients with large future contracts.

Jefferson’s ability to ask the questions that make you look inward and find what you didn’t know you already had, that is what really sets him apart! I wish everyone could benefit from this experience!

I hired Jefferson to help me flesh out the particulars of a business that I had been mulling for years. I honestly was not sure what to expect as I hadn’t received his type of coaching before. I can tell you that what I received was far more than I could have ever imagined.

Jefferson’s methodologies are highly structured, fluid, fun, and took me well out of my comfort zone. He challenged me to use my imagination more freely and confront hidden beliefs about doubts. I was writing, reflecting and clarifying daily for two months, with Jefferson cheering me on, allowing me plenty of space, while providing the feedback and accountability necessary for real results. By the end of the prescribed time of our engagement, I had the result I came for, a clear vision statement and a road map.

Not only is he available in between sessions if anything urgent comes up, he might even text you at 12:01 am asking where the file you promised that day is...(in a friendly accountable way, don’t worry). Clearly Jefferson spends a considerable amount of time preparing for every coaching session.

Seriously, Jefferson is committed, loves what he does, and is relentless in his joy and effort to help you find the same meaning in your work.

Over coffee one day with Jefferson I got to talking about my public speaking fears and that I had been asked to present at a workshop in a few weeks and that I really wasn’t thrilled about it and that it would probably be my last one. Jefferson described NLP and how it might be used to improve my speech. That piqued my interest, so I scheduled a session with him.

What happened from the day I met with Jefferson to the day after my talk (two weeks) is best described as a delightful, unexpected introspective journey that changed my life.

The journey was far more than conquering my fears around public speaking. The tools that Jefferson taught me created space for more choice in parts of my life that I didn’t know was available. I played with the tools he gave me and used them in innovative ways that worked for me while Jefferson encouraged me to tailor them for my needs.

And how did the speech go? Was it great or close to perfect? My work with Jefferson made me realize, that question had always been the wrong question to ask and had always gotten in the way of giving good presentations. The better question was, “did I bring myself fully to the presentation, with my curiosity, creativity, energy, love, humor, honesty, respect while forgiving myself for my shortcomings, imperfections, and flaws?” The answer a resounding yes.

The work I did with Jefferson made this the easiest and most enjoyable presentation of my life.

“Before starting the coaching process, I had some old limiting beliefs that were affecting my ability to move fully into a future most serving of myself and others. The challenging tasking work and the processes he facilitated for me dissolved the old limiting beliefs and thrust me into my most rewarding future.
Working with Jefferson has been a powerful, enlightening and almost magical time for me. I’m inspired and attracted to his coaching skills and abilities in applying NLP, and the apparent simplicity of the processes in letting go of old limiting decisions and creating new beliefs and learnings.”
