TESTIMONIALS
I needed a boost to proceed with my goals. Your course gave me a power boost!
-Erik Larson
Choose your vision, and Leonard will help you get there.
-B. Miller
Evaluations indicated people felt rejuvenated and liked thinking creatively. As you mentioned "you help people get unstuck" and I believe you helped our group today. That is something that you do beautifully.
-Stephen Chirpich
Within 6 months of taking your lifework program, I had organized and founded a $250,000 statewide partnership for youth tobacco prevention… Because of your program, it is much easier pursuing passions and dreams, turning visions into actions.
-Rick Bernardo
Your methodology — founded in trust and respect — is uniquely holistic. At work, I more effectively complete group tasks, and my friends have commented that I really listen and understand them.
-D. Parrott
In a short period of time [with coaching], using Leonard's thought-provoking exercises, I was able to determine a major new career for myself, one that I really wanted, and I was able to take the necessary steps to begin that important change.
-Wendy Frytak
I have attended many presentations and workshops in the career/lifework field. After a while the presenters all start to sound the same…[but] Leonard's approach is very original, creative and fun. His approach gives you a new angle on topics….refreshing and well worth my time.
-Dionna Jones
I have found a career that brings me great satisfaction and is in perfect alignment with my values. I don't know that I would have recognized this as my "dream job" if I hadn't taken Leonard's lifework course.
-Angie Arnold
Leonard is an inspiration who helps us realize that anything is possible.
-K. Klemme, R.N.
Awesome class. You spoke to my heart.
-J. Christensen
Leonard Lang is a first-rate teacher and lifework coach. His knowledge of the field is exemplary. But, more important, he brings an empathy, passion and discipline to the process of helping people get on with their lives, which, in itself, inspires action.
-Pat O'Regan
I credit your Lifework process with helping me identify the skills I most enjoy using, the type of organization I would like to work for, and to think creatively about how I might combine the two.
-Richard Wells
Thanks again for the help, Leonard. Your strategies definitely help me stay "unstuck." Every time I feel confused, I go back and look at my mindmaps or I create a new one. Every time I work with these tools I feel a new surge of positive energy and start to move forward.
-Jillian Lay
Leonard was my “professional success partner” and well worth the expense! Since I knew that I was talking to him at a certain time each week, I was motivated to complete my weekly list of “chores” to move closer to the work and life I want. Leonard’s insightful comments and questions helped me to get unstuck and move through my fears.
-Kathleen Bennett
It was as if he waved a magic wand over our group. More than 6 months later, things are still going smoothly, and we have been able to successfully work through subsequent difficulties using the communication, facilitation, and decision-making tools Leonard provided.
