Testimonials
Ian is the best! We connected with him when we were at a cross road both personally and professionally. During the course of an afternoon, he helped us verbalize some hard truths and identify what success looks like going forward. He pushed us to find solutions that were realistic and also really emotionally resonant. Ian is someone who wants to help you figure out what’s going to make you happy and how you can live a more fulfilling life. He has an amazing knack for helping you see opportunities and what barriers might be getting in the way of action.
Ian has an impressive knowledge of and passion for visioning work. During the four sessions he held with our management team, he was committed to helping us end up with an inspiring vision for our business; not some vanilla document everyone would forget about in a few weeks. He executes the role of facilitator extremely well – always reading the room, keeping us focused, and above all helping to foster meaningful conversation. He challenged us to really put ourselves out there in ways we wouldn’t have otherwise. My team and I are really excited to take the next step and execute the vision we’ve created. If your organization hasn’t undergone a structured visioning exercise, I highly recommend doing so and I highly recommend working with Ian.
As a start-up operating in the VR/Sport/Tech space things move fast and are constantly shifting.
Ian worked with our team to help us identify what it is that we are trying to achieve versus what simply is a distraction. He pushed us to aim big, but not so much so it seemed unattainable. Crafting and setting such goals, it requires a delicate balance of healthy bravado and reasonable expectations…he guided us with precision and creativity.
Facilitating group brainstorming sessions is definitely one of his superpowers. He deftly manages the role of referee, cheerleader and coach very well.
By the end of our session together, our team – even those who were skeptical of the workshop going in – were fired up.
We love working with the guy!
Ian has worked with our company and me personally for the past three years. He has helped me identify what I really wanted out of my professional life and what I didn’t. More importantly he’s been a strategic partner and coach to implement the positive changes I’ve wanted but was hesitant to pursue. I also appreciate Ian’s “in the trenches” business experience. His 20+ years of running a business mean his advice is based on real world wins and losses. I love that he always seems to have a great business story to back up a point he’s making.
