‘Greater Financial Confidence and Peace of Mind’

I have worked with Derek for a couple of years to better manage my finances and address other issues as they arise. I appreciate his ability to listen, understand, and offer different perspectives, and I trust the wisdom and experience he can bring to any discussion. As a result of our sessions, I’m more aware of thoughts that may prevent me from seeing possibilities, and I’ve learned practical ways to shift pessimistic and self-critical thinking. Our coaching keeps me accountable and moving toward my goals—like reducing credit card debt, experimenting with budgets, and investing more wisely. Most importantly, I have more peace of mind and less worry.

'Breakthrough Guidance When I Needed It Most'

Working with Derek during a difficult career transition was nothing short of transformative. I came into our sessions tangled in self-doubt and old patterns that I couldn’t untangle on my own. From our very first conversation, Derek’s ability to listen—really listen—made it feel safe to bring everything to the table. He never rushed to a solution. Instead, he helped me slow down, step back, and pick apart each piece with compassion and clarity. Over time, we uncovered motivations and fears I hadn’t even realized were operating beneath the surface. Derek didn’t just give me advice—he taught me how to recognize my own wisdom and strength. Now, months later, not only have I landed the job I was hoping for, I approach every challenge with more confidence and a sense of calm I didn’t think was possible.

'A True Partner for Both Big Decisions and Day-to-Day Life'

As someone juggling a leadership role at work and parenting, I’d become accustomed to putting out fires instead of living intentionally. Derek is the rare coach who has walked with me through both the big existential questions—like aligning my life with my deepest values—and the day-to-day hurdles, like setting boundaries and making space for self-care. In our work together, I never felt like a number or a project. He always came to each session present, ready to meet me exactly where I was, whether I needed practical strategies or just a moment to breathe and process. I’ve recommended Derek to friends and colleagues because his coaching isn’t just about achieving goals; it’s about discovering new possibilities and real, lasting change.

I always leave feeling not just heard, but deeply understood—and every time, I understand myself a bit better too. This kind of attentive presence has made a huge difference in my confidence and clarity.

'Rock-Solid Integrity That Instantly Builds Trust'

Right from our first conversation, Derek’s integrity was clear and authentic. He never rushes or pushes advice, but instead creates the space to explore difficult topics with total transparency.

It’s rare to meet someone so steadfast and dependable, and it makes every coaching session a safe, positive experience.
