| A Message From Jeff |
| Why do I have so many satisfied clients? Because I insist on giving them more than they expect. I concentrate on being of service and making a difference; the sales take care of themselves. I take pride in being a role model to today's youth, teaching them how it is cool to be happy and do right by others, teaching them about their own personal power. I deliver short stories that lead students to healthier lifestyles free of drugs and filled with humor and joy. |
| I also take pride in working with adults - male, female, married, single - helping them to realize their potential and to get their coordinates on planet earth (to live on purpose and with passion). Instead of looking at all the ways life can beat us up, I encourage people to shift to an "attitude of gratitude," to open up to the good fortune that surrounds all of us. Soon it becomes a way of life. |
| |
| Character equals destiny. |
| It is my great joy to meet with people after shows, and I am always honored by the warmth of the feedback. It allows me to see firsthand the change taking place in their perspective, in their very physiology. That is the most gratifying part of my job - seeing people's light turn on, sharing in the transformation. And that is why I never get tired. |
Kind regards,
Jeff Yalden |

| What Clients Are Saying about Jeff Yalden |
| "Jeff, I just want to say you are the best 'girlfriend' a woman can have. You listen, encourage, and tell us what we want to hear. Then you tell us what we don't want to hear (I don't like that part). Then you help us to see the big picture. You do all this without judging, and look out for our best interests. You are great." - Jackie, 37, Mother/Wife, MA |
| "It is reassuring to know that there are adults who understand exactly what teenagers are going through today. Thanks again!" - Teenager, Hopkinton, MA |

|
| How is coaching different from consulting? |
| A consultant is an outside expert hired to find solutions for specific problems. A coach considers the client an expert and merely helps clients to discover their own resources and to create a better future as a result. |
| |
| How is coaching different from counseling? |
| Counseling centers on the client's past experiences and how they impact the client's current life. Coaching focuses what exists now, and moving forward in life-affirming ways. |
| |
| How is coaching different from friendship? |
| Friends try to fix things, offering opinions and advice. Without realizing it, they come from a place of judgment, which is disempowering. Coaching creates a safe space for clients to explore who they are without anyone "shoulding" on them. |
| |
| ". . . other companies offer coaching as a prerequisite . . . in the understanding that everyone has blind spots and can benefit from a detached observer." |

| Testimonial from Jeff Himself |
| I'm not just a coach; I'm a client. Because I believe in the value of coaching, I meet with two life coaches, each with his own style and approach. I am pleased to report the following benefits: |
- a safe, sacred space to explore ideas and shape the future
- development of my life purpose
- alignment of my thoughts and actions
- a shift from scarcity and fear to prosperity consciousness
- increased appreciation for myself, my family, and friends
- deeper connection with my inner guide and my own spiritual truths
- realization of my intentions and goals
- a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment
- more free time to enjoy all these benefits!
|
| This is, of course, a partial list, for the blessings multiply each day. The more we taste of our true creative potential, the better we get at "acting from the end result" - behaving as the person we intend to be. And as we bridge that gap between where we are now and where we'd like to be, we become the person that we always knew, deep down, we could be. |
