Dean Long's Testimonials

"I never gave business coaching a second thought until someone I respected told me he used one and how it helped him immensely. I picked Dean as my coach, because I've worked with him on committees through SHBC and I knew he takes on a task responsibly, and has good follow through. We've been meeting for a few months now, and I can honestly say I wish I had hired him sooner. He has helped me work through issues in my business, keeping me accountable and making me work much more efficiently. I highly reccomend hiring Dean. He's worth his weight in gold stars!"

"Where do I start ? Dean has a penetrating gift of passionate authenticity, "doing" what he "is" and empowering others to do the same. Trust me, if Dean can stimulate, motivate, and educate me - he is one step away from turning water in to wine (you get the idea). I am forever grateful for working with Dean and look forward to many more opportunities."

"Dean has shown my husband and I strategic thinking in the financial arena and now is showing me the same and more with his ventures in life coaching. Dean exhibits the epitome of client-based service. You know with Dean you will get 150% of what he promises. If I trust Dean with my finances and now with organizing my life choices, I would say that would be the highest compliment a customer could give a provider."

"Dean brings just the right mix of business knowledge, worldly smarts, and coaching artistry for clients to accomplish their life's goals. He is very skilled at getting to the heart of the matter, listening for people's inner drive and passion, and bringing it to the surface. Dean understands, first hand, many of the challenges his clients are experiencing because he's been there himself as a businessman and entrepreneur. As a result, he's able to coach successful people to be even more successful and find their true path."

"Dean has an insight and ease, as well as depth and breadth of knowledge that only comes from hands-on experience. He and I met through the Kauffman Foundation's FastTrac entrepreneurship program and hit it off immediately. Dean is a dedicated, hard worker. He is just as comfortable working in the client's 'comfort zone' as he is throwing a 'curve ball' or a new idea that they hadn't expected. I would hire Dean in a heartbeat, and whole-heartedly recommend him knowing that he can provide the guidance that the client is looking for."
