Building Champions has a unique way of addressing life and business through a plan that causes both worlds to complement each other rather than compete. The brightest and most impacting part of the entire coaching process is the personal and professional relationship that I have developed with my coach. His ability to get to know my person, family and business aptitude and then coach me to meld all of those together for peak performance and success is incredible. The system is great but the personal component of a real life coach, motivator and mentor makes all the difference in the world. Mark Cole – Director of Sales
I have to admit that at first I was a bit skeptical of working with someone over the phone rather than face-to-face. My skepticism proved quite wrong as I have never been in a coaching relationship that has accomplished as much in so short of a time. What is most striking is how passionate my coach is about my growth and where I might be as I continue to grow. At times my coach is more excited about me than I am, and that makes a big difference on weeks when discouragement and inaccurate views of reality color my thinking. Mike Sohm – Executive Vice President
Coaching has been a staple in my business for many years. My coach provides accountability, unbiased advice, and feedback which has been an integral part of my personal growth and development, as well as the company's growth and success. The focus and discipline that result from our sessions has been instrumental in everything I do, in every aspect of my life. Teresa O’dette – President
Without exception, the Building Champions coaching team is in a league of its own when it comes to changing lives. Ideas without action are meaningless. With passion, focus and integrity, these coaches help move people dramatically from where they are to where they want to be. Todd Duncan – CEO
A life-transforming experience would be a vast understatement. I used to be a leader who people respected but didn't necessarily enjoy working for. I used to believe there was no time to workout in the course of a day – not for someone as busy as me. I used to fail at scheduling time for weekly date nights with my wife. And the list goes on. But my coach helped take a driven businessman who was physically, mentally and spiritually burnt-out and layer-by-layer help me define true success and then start achieving it. My life now has a plan and I am living it. I am literally a new man with a new hunger for life – someone who is living his dream rather than wishing and waiting and wondering if it could ever happen. Allen Arnold – Senior Vice President and Publisher
Building Champions has been a tremendous help to me in terms of giving me focus and accountability. I look forward to my coaching sessions. They're inspiring, challenging and give me the opportunity to bounce ideas off someone who's main goal is to help me succeed. I love the emphasis that's placed on my whole life – not just business, but my personal life too. Building Champions understands that there is a dynamic interplay between the two and if it's not working in one area, it's not going to work in the other. Michael Hyatt – CEO
I feel privileged to have worked with my Building Champions executive coach for the last year. Through this process I have learned about myself and about my ability to make changes in the way I behave with others. Initially I was skeptical that such changes were possible, especially since my habits, both good and bad, have been formed over many years of working. However when you are conscious about the types of changes needed, committed to making the changes, and aware of how seemingly small changes can make a big difference in other's opinion of you...then making change is not such a difficult task! Sara Lefcourt – Vice President
I consider my coach to be my personal "board of advisors." Every coaching session has been extremely productive and brings forth the clarity and focus that I need to move forward. However, no coaching session is alike. One may be focused on business objectives and strategic vision, while the next may focus on my marriage and strengthening my family. I appreciate the ability to have a coach, who can help bring wisdom and accountability into my daily life. Jeff Sakamoto - President
As leaders we all need confidants. We need someone we can go to outside our organization and outside of our regular sphere of influence to get unbiased feedback and opinions. There are a lot of people I can go to for wisdom and advise, but with my coach have I always felt like his ideas and feedback are genuinely unbiased. The only thing he cares about is my success and as a result, he has been a very trusted confidant and someone who I turn to for wisdom and advice. David Hoyt – Vice President
I had gotten to the point where I didn’t feel like I was growing. I was lacking vision and a long-term view of where we needed to take the company. Building Champions has helped me to focus and organize my own Business Vision. I now feel energized because after each session I have with my coach, I walk away with specific, tangible goals and Action Plans. That has been so helpful to me because I can now think long-term rather than in crisis mode. Doug Ament – President
When I started coaching with Building Champions I was an unmarried, childless, broke, out-of-shape individual, working 60+ hours per week. I'm now a happily married father of three amazing kids. I own a company that is making a difference in the lives of 30+ employees, their clients and partners, and the community. I work 40-45 hours per week. I'm in the best physical shape of my life and recently qualified to run the Boston Marathon. And, while much less important than the "wealth" that has been created in the other facets of my life, my financial net worth is significant. My coach didn't teach me how to become a husband or a father or a runner or a business owner; he taught me how to set and achieve goals that were important to me. He taught me how to think differently. He taught me the importance of life planning and life balance. It frightens me to think of where my personal and professional life would be today without my coach in my life. Michael Leland – President
Without coaching, it is just too easy to let time go by with good intentions, but no actions. My numbers have consistently increased each year and I would recommend coaching to anyone who is considering it. Joanne Demorest – Mortgage Consultant
In my years of leadership experience I have come to believe that almost 100% of the time, the answers we need are within us. They are not external. Therefore, the challenge is not finding the "Magic Pill" or "Program of the Month", it is getting in front of someone that will ask us the right questions. The right questions, put to us by someone who truly cares about our success, makes all the difference and that is what Building Champions has figured out. Curt Altig – Regional President
My coach's role has been absolutely vital at critical junctures in our growing business. Without his strategic insights and input, our business would simply not be as successful as it is today. In addition to his expertise, it is his personal and emotional involvement with what we're doing that I find so energizing. He shares our excitement and passion for our business. We're changing lives and positively impacting the world. My coach is an essential component of that impact and success. Jim Sporleder - Director
I am writing today to thank Building Champions for the tremendous friendship, coaching, advice and content you have provided to me and my companies for more than 10 years. You have helped me to improve as a man, husband, father, partner, leader and communicator. You and your team have open my eyes to my gifts and talents as a speaker, consultant and motivator. Just like any great athlete, any salesperson, manager or leader should have a coach. A coach is a source of accountability, advice, improvement and someone to listen and care. You are an amazing company made up of wonderful people who are improving the lives of so many professionals. Daryl Wizelman - Professional Speaker & Presenter
