Notes from former/current clients to prospective clients:
I'd characterize my experience as transformation driven and accomplishment heavy. Rich's coaching was one of the best things I've ever done for myself (as my wife and I both agree)... [more]
I feel incredibly grateful for the work we do together. I am slowly starting to listen to myself again and truly ask myself, "What do I want to do?" in a way I haven't done for an incredibly long time... [more]
...this has been one of the most rewarding and productive professional relationships I have ever had. In these past months, I have attained all the goals I set for myself and am a much happier, more fulfilled person. Through my coaching relationship with Rich, he has helped me to... [more]
I find Rich to be a skilled and compassionate coach, very able to work with me on my intangible goals of self-growth. When I am floundering... [more]
I set out to explore coaching as a way of gaining support and accountability and, after interviewing 3 others, chose Rich because he was far and away the one who seemed most interested in authentically supporting me - as opposed to gaining a wider audience of followers or coaching using a generic template. While I went into the experience expecting to improve upon my more superficial habits (what he calls agenda with a lower-case "a"), I ended up realizing their connections to deeper, more valuable insights (what he calls Agenda with an upper-case "A"). I highly recommend Rich as a coach to anyone who values being genuinely seen. - with a heartfelt thank you and much gratitude. 🙏 ~ Lucia Reynoso Haet, Web Development CO-OP Manager & Social Entrepreneur
Unsolicited testimonials from people Rich has coached:
I've only been working with you for a couple of weeks, but I feel that I have broken out of a huge logjam of my own creating. My family, friends and therapist hadn't been able to help me see what you did -- that I have to go where my heart is. They all supported me in pursuing the things I was saying I wanted to do. All the activities I have surrounded myself with, felt compelled to do, etc., are not really what I want. It's sort of like the story where the emperor has no clothes. Thank you Rich, I am quite astonished at how energizing this has been!
I felt exhilarated after our conversation. You are a phenomenal coach. I love the honesty that you speak and the doors you open with me. Looking forward to our next call.
Rich has the most amazing calming, healing energy that he shared with me so kindly and selflessly. His keen insights help me delve even deeper into a journey of self-discovery, even towards areas that I hadn't dared venture before. His brave authenticity prompts me to realize my own pretense (however conscious or unconscious) and inspires me to start living my own truth.
Since November I have been
working with Rich Raffals as my personal coach. He has helped me
make exponential progress in my search for meaningful work. I have
gone from not knowing what I was going to do, to having a clear vision
of my goals and having taken significant steps towards achieving them.
It may sound simple to do this on your own, but the power of having someone
in your corner to help you make your dreams come true is priceless.
Rich does not have his own agenda or miracle cure or advice. He listens. And then he suggests one or two ideas and waits for me to decide on the next course of action. He listens. From real listening, he can accurately reflect back to me my own words so that I can make up new interpretations or clarify or abandon. He is professional, has excellent references, teaches classes, takes classes - he's not playing at this. This is his calling.
As for your coaching of me, you were
right on - and in such a brief few minutes too. You tied it right back to my
goals and I loved having the goblin go work on the plans and then to set them
aside. The only constructive feedback I have for you right now is that
you are a natural coach and I want you to be out there, using your abilities
with people. People NEED what you can give them.
You are a great coach!
If I ever have a client I can not take, I intend to send them your way.
You took this path for a reason - and others will benefit greatly.
When I see you in action (and am on the receiving end of your coaching)
you are right on. What it comes down to is your intuition.
You have it and you trust it. Continue to follow it.
I want you to know that I am getting a ton out of the coaching and that I really appreciate your working with me. I feel like I am making huge progress- my mind is growing very rapidly and you are helping a ton to feed it. Thank you!
Thanks for getting me honed in on what the problem is for me - this is extremely helpful.
