“I was open to the possibility and challenge of a new direction in my life, but was not expecting the profound positive changes via coaching with Chess. Career opportunities have opened up, friendships have deepened and my view of the world is more in line with my core values.

Chess has a gentle and professional coaching style that is a perfect balance of compassion and directness. He has an ability to ask enlightening questions and provide strategies that facilitate a person’s innate ability to guide their choices. His style has been perfect for me and I highly recommend him!”
