Quite simply Rex helped me categorize my skills and talents and discover what I really wanted to do. He then helped me go and get a job in that field even though the process took a while. He would listen while I explained problems at the then current job and help me problem solve. Thank you again, Rex! This was money well spent.

I hired Rex as an executive coach for my senior management team. Rex is very professional and knows how to work in a stressed, challenging environment to drive relationship and result improvements within a executive team.

After being self employed for approximately 5 years I was in a career transition where I didn't know if traditional employment was right for me. After engaging with Rex and doing some internal digging we determined that traditional employment could work well for me given that certain criteria were met for my own needs.
