We take a personal approach to business, executive and personal coaching because we are all human. What limits us, limits us until we can see and take action in a new way. We are inspired by your transformation and your success.
Name your success plan - the one that seems unreachable and we will reach it together. Show us the most challenging work situation or business relationship and we will assist you in changing it forever. Outline a sales problem that won't go away and we will roll up our sleeves and get in there with you. Give us an impossible corporate culture and together we will make it sing. We love challenge. Why? Because it brings us alive, it evolves us, it stretches us and transforms us. That's why we offer a discovery session, like a mini session, so you can experience our coaching for yourself.
Creators of 'The Evolved Leader' Program
Radically transform your leaders, employees and business with the powerful training of The Evolved Leader though in-house 1/2 day workshops; in-house coaching or remote 1-1 coaching or transform your whole company with The Evolved Leader culture package (introduction; assessment; 6 month program; follow up feedback and sustainability plan).
Why is great coaching so effective? Here's why... these are just a few outcomes leaders and whole teams begin to experience:
Success, be it personal, leadership or business calls for peak performance in this very competitive environment. Business and Executive Coaching has surged to status as an advantage tool and secret source of acceleration for peak performance. After all, all Fortune 500 CEOs, all elite and pro athletes, singers, actors, all have coaches (often more than one) and without them they would never rise to elite status. The same underlying goal exists for You -
TO MOVE BEYOND WHERE YOU CAN'T BY YOURSELF.
How can your you, your leaders and your business see what it cannot currently see? A great coach reflects the unknown, the unseen, the POTENTIAL and brings this into awareness for new insights, understandings and new innovative ideas. And because the Coachee learns tools and processes to see through blind spots and reinvent on any level anytime there is a need, then these learnings can be used indefinitely into the future for never ending growth.
Right now you know where your business has blocks, where it has weak links, where it leaks and where it needs improvement. Imagine that plus all the parts you currently can't see addressed, up-leveled and improved upon. Imagine the level of success that you know it could be. THAT is what a great coach helps you to access.
We believe it can only be experienced to truly understand its impact and that is why we offer a Discovery Session. In this session you will experience Coaching, our unique and powerful style of coaching, for yourself and know first hand before you ever begin a series how it will work for you personally, with an agenda for the work already developed.

"What is limiting your CEO, your leaders, your teams ultimately limits your business, there is no way around it."
Greg Sales
"COACHING now is a part of standard leadership development training for elite executives and talented up-and-comers at IBM, Motorola, JP Morgan, Chase, and Hewlett Packard. These companies are discreetly giving their best prospects what star athletes have long had: a trusted advisor to help REACH THEIR GOALS.
For me it is insight, wisdom, compassion, communication skills, generosity, open-minded listening, and being able to create the space where transformation occurs.
Linda is all this. She has the ability to access the deeper layers of our being. Through her listening and coaching she opened doors and helped me uncover a truth about myself that I didn't know existed, leaving me empowered, inspired, and ready to receive, embrace and live the life my heart and soul truly desire. Whatever was holding me back does not own me anymore; it is being softly and firmly transformed into freedom, self-expression, connection, trust and possibility."
Eva Castilla
“My time working with Greg was beyond my expectations. Feeling lost and trapped in my work, not sure of what direction I was heading, I was lucky enough to be given the gift of coaching. With Greg’s insight and helpful guidance I was able to find myself and my happiness again.
He not only helped me get back on track but he helped me figure out what that track was. I am still in awe of how effective our short time together has been. Greg has an uncanny ability to get at the problem and lead you to a viable solution. My work with him has been life changing and I will be forever grateful.”

“In just 12 months of working with Greg, my business and my relationship to money have both taken off. A year ago, I literally could not imagine that I would be living the life I now have. From the home of my dreams to a totally different income level to a new freer work schedule to a radically transformed day to day experience of my work life to having more free time – all of these things are a direct result of the work that I’ve done with Greg in a relatively short period of time. I’m excited about the next phase too as my dreams continue to expand. As I’ve often heard, if you want to run a race, you need a coach. And if you want to have the business and work life of your dreams, you need Greg.”

"As an executive coach, it's a treat to have a moment to step back, take a deep breath, reflect on what's happening, then roll up my sleeves and get back to work! That's the impact of a conversation with Linda Sales. Her positive energy, light-hearted humor and soulful depth, is a perfect blend to counter the hours I spend coaching other people. As a transformational coach it can be tricky to distinguish what's mine to work on and what is my coachee's. Linda has a gift of listening and opening up my own wisdom to support me in creating a plan for what I need to do next.
Our paths have crossed at the perfect time in my life. I'm in the midst of A LOT of personal and professional transformation and Linda's generous spirit has guided me through the spiritual, emotional corners and curves of my career. Everyone needs to have a Linda in their lives!"

“My very first session working with Greg was invaluable to understanding my business from an objective point of view. It is really valuable to have a truly objective person listen to the obstacles and reflect them back. It allows me to really hear them and see more clearly. It also allows me to step back and work “on” my business, instead of “in” my business. I am able to see much more clearly the things in my business that give me more energy, and the things that are draining my energy (so I can strategize about how to remedy those draining factors). I now understand my Values at a much deeper level and how that influences my approach to my business (the answers can be surprising). Working with a coach has helped to make obstacles clear, which enables me to address the problems much quicker, apply solutions faster, and see possibilities I haven’t yet seen.”
Audrey McLoghlin, Founder & CEO

"Greg has been my coach for almost three years now, and he's been absolutely instrumental in both my own personal growth and in starting and growing my coaching business. When we started working together, I was going through a significant life transition and my career path was in flux. I was in a place of fear and doubt, and I wasn't sure what to do. He helped me out of that fearful, and helped pave the way for a place of empowerment and possibility. In fact, he knew I was going to be a coach before I did, and he really helped build me up to not only take the action steps to create a coaching business, but the mindset needed to build a successful business.
Today I have a successful, growing business, that's making six figures. His guidance has been invaluable and his encouragement and belief in me and my abilities has made me feel unstoppable. He has a gift with breaking things down into bite size chunks, and helping me see things from another, more empowered angel. He also hears what you don't say -- which is where the transformation occurs.
I cannot recommend Greg enough. If you want to transform yourself AND create/grow your coaching practice, this is the man for you, and you will be a better person for having him in your life.

“Greg’s fluidity is amazing. He was able to step with me through business and personal challenges. He is an intuitively gifted and skilled coach.”
Wendy McCulley, Chief Business Development Officer
Life Alert Emergency Response, Inc.
“Greg helped me transition from a burned-out workaholic into a happy, thriving self-employed consultant. Thought-provoking, but not confrontational, he helped me examine my existing strategies around work and life and essentially re-tool. “Start with how you want to feel” is the simplest idea, but it was so foreign to me! And being able to talk about work AND life was what made the process so fruitful for me. Greg has a very calm, focused energy, and he is incredibly patient – both super important traits in life and in coaching.”
Michelle Crawford
Independent Marketing Research Consultant
“Greg is an extraordinary talent in his capacity to see through to the heart of an issue, both in the sense of a business strategy and in terms of personal blocks and patterns which might keep you from reaching your potential. He possesses a potent cache of processes and session work that has led me to important self-discoveries. And, to make all of this even more valuable, Greg has a personal warmth, wit, intuition and intelligence that makes the process of unfolding into your best self a pleasurable experience. “
Samantha Stone, Founder
CAST, Inc.
“Greg explained to me in our first session that until we actually started working together I wouldn’t fully understand how he was going to be able to help me and he was absolutely right.
Greg's deep understanding of people and business is an amazing combination for anyone who is trying to make themselves better at what they do. Since your career and your personal life are so intertwined it is sometimes difficult to only focus on one. One of the most amazing things about working with Greg is that I felt so secure sharing my personal issues with him that were getting in the way of my work. He helped me step outside of my life and look at it from the outside in.
It is amazing what you can see. Simple things and simple recommendations can change so much. My favorite part about his work was discovering what it was that helped me be creative. Together we discovered a place, a time, an atmosphere and just the right company that helped me be the most creative that I can be. it sounds like something I should have known but it was one of those things that I would have never discovered.”

“I've worked with Kathy for the last 6 or 7 years but much more closely in the last 3 years. She's a talented individual that would be an asset to any company or executive team who contracts with her. Kathy’s wide ranging experience leads her to approach projects from multiple angles looking for ways to work more efficiently and save both time and money while helping us delight our clients. She also thinks outside the box to problem solve and on more than one occasion that has allowed us to still complete client work ahead of time even when faced with issues that could have led to big setbacks, including lost sales.
Her organization skills go beyond someone who is "organized". Kathy is very focused and has a unique ability to stay on top of even the most complex projects with many moving pieces and personalities. That has been a great influence on our entire management team - our abilities to think together and be innovative is far advanced from where it was.
The one attribute that I value the most though is her inclusive nature. She very much values building a team and utilizing the skills of the team to accomplish more. By building these teams and showing them how to leverage each other, we've really been able to avoid some of the surprises that sometimes evolve over the life of a project as more and varied input are considered upfront.
Kathy's unique skill set would be a valuable resource to any company whether in the startup stages or having long standing teams and processes that need a fresh perspective and new methods.”

"Kelly is a powerhouse of a coach - really there is no other way to say it. Somehow she is also compassionate, caring and magical at the same time. I came to personal coaching with Kelly at a standstill in my life personally and professionally. We worked on my personal blocks and patterns first. If you are ready to see your own patterns, folds and limitations in a compassionate yet deep way Kelly is the coach for you. She has no fear going to the darker places, she holds an unconditional space and wisdom from her own life experiences that allowed me to feel safe. She facilitated so much personal growth for me and she continues to do so. She is my 'go-to' coach for deep personal work that is LIFE CHANGING."
L .
Kathy is an expert business coach that we’ve been working with for over 3 years. She is a quick learner who readily figured out the nuances of our niche business. Her business acumen is spot on and she quickly became a trusted advisor to our leadership team. Asking great questions to help get to the heart of any matter is her true forte.
When we had some personnel issues a couple of years ago, it was an extremely scary time for our business. I was constantly worried about the future of our company and Kathy really helped to ease my stress and also the burden on me. She helped me see the situation as an opportunity while interviewing candidates, providing excellent feedback on each person we interviewed, and even worked with our team to develop new training materials that aided our new employees in getting up to speed on our company culture quickly and easily.
Kathy generates fresh and exciting leadership learning opportunities and content. She is always on the lookout for new material that is applicable to our business and is a whiz at integrating the things we love about our learning conversations into our business. Getting the leadership team on the same page and encouraging open and positive communication has transformed our relationships as leaders and our relationships with our team.

When I first started working with Linda, I thought I was pretty evolved, living a full and authentic life. But something was missing. I had recently left a 30-year corporate career and wasn’t sure what was next for me. I’ll never forget Linda’s words “As you truly live more of your authentic self, be open to new opportunities you never thought of before”. That’s when it really hit me. Yes I was very evolved, yay! But I had a way to go. In the months that I’ve worked with Linda, I have learned what living my truth really means. Opportunities have presented themselves that I had never even dreamed possible. And people that I didn’t know existed have become sisters and brothers and have shown me what unconditional love really looks like. Life is different now in a very amazing way. The old me couldn’t have imagined this life. I’m still working hard to stay on my path, but knowing my path is a beautiful and wondrous thing. I am grateful everyday for having Linda’s support and guidance on this journey and for having her beautiful soul in my life. I have the utmost respect for her abilities and highly recommend her services whatever your situation. The investment in myself has been sooo worth it!
E.
Working with Linda has brought an invaluable amount of healing and transformation into my life. Her no-nonsense approach has really helped me cut through all the BS and get straight to the heart of the matters at hand. I appreciate her guidance, her insight, and her ability to gently
yet firmly lead me to the greatest breakthroughs of my life.
Linda is an asset, both personally and professionally, and I wholeheartedly recommend her!
