CLIENT JOURNEYS

“I feel extremely fortunate to have come into contact with “Coach” Geoff Carlston and highly recommend him for future executive coaching engagements. As an executive with a fast growing technology company, I have experienced a high degree of stress and personal challenges of late. For most of my career, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with many coaches and mentors that have helped me along the way. In my current role, I mentor younger team members in a similar fashion. However, just because I’ve reached an executive level with a $200M firm does not mean I still don’t need help and guidance. Mentors within a company like mine just don’t exist. Enlisting the help and support of Geoff has meant all the difference to my work career and family life over the last 12 months. Geoff will patiently listen to challenges I am dealing with, both personally and professionally, and through his life experiences can articulate the problem back to me in simplistic terms. Together, we discuss and develop strategies to deal with life and business challenges. I’ve found him to be a trusted confidant and someone that will be there for me whenever I need him. As a former college athlete myself, I’m a firm believer there are many parallels between athletics and business. Geoff’s experiences on the court and in life have made a positive and invaluable impression on me. As someone who constantly measures return on investment (ROI) for business decisions, I can wholeheartedly say my investment in Geoff has paid off tremendously.”

“I met Coach Geoff during a very challenging time in my life. My engineering business goals were all over the place, I didn’t have a clear vision for my professional beach volleyball progress and I had just started hunting for my first home. I originally started working with Geoff to help me take the next step as a professional athlete, but what I quickly discovered was the lessons he was teaching me positively impacted everything going on in my life.

Our work together through journaling, authentic conversations and action oriented goals have helped me gain a clear focus for my business and inspired me to double down on the things that I am passionate about. It is not a coincidence that my sales are now at an all time high. After a couple of months working with Geoff my wife told me she noticed a significant improvement in my ability to handle stress, the way I communicate and being present. Without a doubt, the last six months of working with Geoff has been one of the best investments I have ever made, not just for my volleyball career but for my business, relationships and myself.”

“When Geoff was my coach, he promised to challenge me, believe in me, and help me become exactly what I aspired to be. Geoff exceeded this promise. To Geoff, an individual’s growth as a strong, resilient, and purpose-filled person carries more weight than the their ability to perform. I am thankful to him for teaching me I always have more to give physically, emotionally, and mentally.”

“Geoff has a gift of motivating individuals and teams. He helps them discover their mission and how to take tangible steps to reach beyond their goals. Any company or organization that wants to boost corporate culture, increase engagement, improve collaboration and ensure everyone is rowing the same direction - Geoff Carlston can inspire anyone to enthusiastically paddle with a purpose. Too many organizations focus on short-term gains and quick hits. Geoff understands the importance of trust, agility and empowerment. He can assist with companies long-term strategy, ROI, assembling the right talent and keeping everyone on course.”

“To put it simply, Geoff is one of the most creative leaders I know. He has a way of identifying your usable resources and finding uncommon ways to use them to have a positive impact on anything and everything. Geoff thinks 360 degrees around any problem which I have come to appreciate.”
