We at Clear Path Employer Services Inc. have been working with Ken Zelazny, Jamie Cunningham, Tony Roy and the entire ActionCOACH team for over a year. Their business coaching service has provided us with much needed encouragement and expert advice as we moved through various "growing pains' for our expanding human resources (HR) consulting business. They helped us develop goals and kept us focused on achieving them. In fact, they assisted us in exceeding our revenue targets for the year and continue to push us out of our respective "comfort zones" on the way to future success. In addition to providing specialized business expertise and exceptional customer service, the ActionCOACH team has created an environment where local business owners can meet, share "war stories" and challenge each other to grow both personally and professionally.

I have been working with ActionCOACH for several months now and at first I wasn't sure if a coach would really help, but I knew I needed something. I thought I had clarity around what I needed to do but was lacking on the execution. Having a coach holding me accountable to what I said I wanted has worked wonders. My business has doubled in the past six months and I have lots of new opprotunity for continued growth. My goal this year is to double my revenue from last year and so far I am right on track. Hiring a coach was the smartest thing I have done for my business.

Our hair salon, N U Hair and Make Up Studio, has been in business for four years. We have been with ActionCOACH for four months. Our coach provides us with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to make our business an even greater success. We began to realize that there was so much more to learn about our business and how to run it. The challenge of putting this new knowledge in to action gives us a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. In the first four months that we have been coach, our Average Dollar Sale has increased 32%!! It is amazing to see how a little extra effort can benefit our business. This proves that it is never too late to start learning more about our business and accepting guidance from others. We cannot wait to see what the next few months hold for us!!!

I must say that ActionCOACH is truly a fantastic organization. They have pushed my family's business to shed much of its past destructive mindsets and situations into a company which now has begun to look deep from within to truly show much more potential as a leader in the specialized glass industry. Their philosophy, culture and systems have helped enormously along with helping to develop our own. Their programs are not easy, nor are they meant for the faint hearted. They push people and organizations to focus on their Actions which work on versus working in business. I can truly say that my company revenues have remained somewhat flat, however our profits and plans have increased dramatically. I owe a lot of current and future success to the focus that ActionCOACH has engrained in me and I would recommend them to anyone in business that is looking to take the next step.

I have traditionally been a stubborn self-motivated person. However, since beginning coahcing with our ActionCOACH, he has driven me to new heights and subsequently added tremendous value to my business. Creating control form chaos coaching is without a doubt the best decision I have made in a long time. I strongly recommend ActionCOACH to anyone in business that truly wants to take control of their business and their life.

Hello My Entrepreneurial Friends: I want to pass on this Action Coach information to you as they are having a very positive impact on my company. We've been working with Jamie and the Action Coach team for over a year and have experienced some dramatic improvements in all areas of our business. Action Coach can help you achieve mastery over your Finances, Team, Marketing and Sales. I urge you to attend the seminar, that introduces Action Coach, and decide for yourself. I know we all think we know everything, but the fact is we don't. If your business isn't where you want it to be, then you should really give this a try. It works. You'll thank me later.

The Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce (GNCC) has had the pleasure of working with Andrew Houston and Grant Mellow of Action Coach for the past year. This partnership has helped our chamber in a number of ways. It is without reservation that we refer them to any organization.

The educational seminars that Andrew, Grant and Action Coach have presented to our membership have been outstanding. These seminars have increased the value of being a member of the GNCC by educating our membership on being better business owners. Through our Lunch and Learn meetings, members have learned how to create a referral based business and how referrals internal to the GNCC can significantly improve their business. Members have learned how networking (such as through a Chamber) can extend sales and marketing arms. They have also learned how to create and maintain the best employees and the power of Strategic Alliances.

The effect of these seminars has been profound. Not only have we increased membership in difficult economic times, we have had positive feedback from current members on the value of such education in running their businesses. Members have asked for more of these seminars in the fall. Member retention is at an all-time high.

As well, together we have begun to diversify our membership into new industries like construction and trades with target marketing. We look forward to engaging more businesses with this strategy.

Also, our partnership with Action Coach has helped build stronger and more effective relationships with our Executive and Board of Directors. They have taught us the skills that have allowed a more focused approach to the GNCC goals.

With their guidance, our office has been able to meet the needs of our members much more effectively. Andrew and Grant’s positive attitude is infectious and they are a great supporter of the chamber. They have a unique ability to educate without lecturing – as the seminars are very interactive and encourage active participation. Their dealings with our office show an ability to understand the needs of the organization they are working with, not giving out cookie-cutter solutions.

We fully endorse the contribution Andrew, Grant and Action Coach have made to both our office and our members and look forward to many more endeavors with them in the future. "
