Success in the First Month - or Progress on Even the First Call

 

Hi Cameron-   I think I need this [coaching]. Our conversation was a gift.   Thank you for the encouraging things you said and for sharing your perceptions. It's sobering and powerful to see oneself through another's eyes.   I understand it is your profession, but I really felt you were listening closely and hearing even what I was unable to say clearly. I appreciate your ability to connect. I know no one can help me help myself without a connection.   Anyway, thank you again. I hope I get to work with you. You were very good.   I'm still tickled that it was so human and personal. I wasn't prepared for that and it almost felt too intimate at times when you were so perceptive. I think I expected interactive software!  I'm definitely on a steep learning curve here.:-)   J.E.

 

Cameron,   I felt a really close connection with you. I did not expect it to be so very fluid.  So humanistic.  I looked at a lot of other coaching sites before our first call and they seemed so . . . hyper-corporate.  It was a really nice surprise to talk to you.  It makes coaching even more appealing. -- N.C.

 

Cameron,      Talking to you was an inspiration - Please understand I have made a decision to move forward with a female coach - I am having some lady medical issues and I think a woman will be closer to dealing with these problems and how to put them to one side and rebuild my life.    I know you will understand this. But it is important to me that you know I thought you were by far the most inspirational and intelligent of the people I have spoken to - I think our paths will cross again in the months to come.  Thank you so much for your free consultation - you were the one that helped me believe this is the right move.   Till we next speak - when I am at the next stage. Best, S.R., Actress, Los Angeles, CA

 

Cameron: If this is an example of how you work, clients should certainly feel you are thoughtfully attentive and expertly assisting with the issues. -- C.B.

 

Cameron,   I have to tell you, I am just reeling, still, from our [first] conversation yesterday. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to talking with you again. You seemed to hit the ball out of the park so many times with me, you are awesome. I like your straightforward, not sugar coated attitude. You have me thinking about alot of stuff! -- K. Seattle, WA

 

I contacted Cameron after I struggled to find the center of a personal testimonial speech I had been asked to give on behalf of a major healthcare foundation.  Although I'd been asked to speak because of the connection between the foundation and a personal tragedy in my family, I procrastinated and then, when I did start to write, my drafts danced vaguely around the heart of the matter.  How ironic:  I am a communications professional myself but could not seem to coach myself through serious writer's block for such an important event. Cameron quickly discovered that the source of the problem was not communication but authenticity.  'Be genuine,' he said, 'and don't assume people need to be protected from an emotionally charged story.'  That was it; the next draft poured right out of me.  I have now given four iterations of the testimonial speech and over $50,000 for the healthcare foundation has been raised.   Laura McGie, Washington

I am happy to whole heartedly recommend the coaching services of Dr. Christina Winsey-Rudd.  I was quite impressed by her kind, caring, and professional service... on a free coaching session... that vastly exceeded other paid coaching sessions I have had in the past.  She was thoroughly prepared and started offering me valuable suggestions from the first minute of the call.  Chris pointed out in a tactful manner what should have been obvious to me in my approach to my present prosperity situation... but was not (as is often the case!).  Chris did this in a way that was very centering and calming and got me focused on what I needed to do going forward.   Although this was not her specialty, she connected me with an eBook marketer who proved to be an excellent resource... providing me with consulting services which have already resulted in increased eBook sales.  Thanks so much for all your help, Chris.  You are a wonderful coach and whoever comes to you will be rewarded with finding one of the best coaches out there. In love and light, Ellen Ellen A. Mogensen Marlton, NJ

Business Coaching

 

We were making some critical business decisions and needed some good counsel and small business coaching fast. About half an hour after we called Cameron, without notice, to ask him to examine our situation, he called back with a detailed analysis, a set of questions we should ask as we moved forward, and recommendations. Just like that, we had some crucial questions answered so we could move forward without any delay.   Step Technologies

 

Wow, that's an amazing idea!  Synchronistically speaking, we were on a teleclass with Alex Carroll (the king of radio publicity) last night and he does something like this on his site and promotional material. Thanks!  This is impressive.  We're just beginning to go through and absorb the information and your suggestions.  It's a whole new way of thinking about our content and potential product tie-ins.  Back to you soon.   Marika, 2young2retire.com (excerpts from 2 emails to Cameron)

 

Dear Dr. Chris, I want other people to know how you went above & beyond my expectations of what a coach would offer. You were razor sharp and laser focused in pinpointing key points that I needed to focus on to get better, bigger results in my business and in my life. One session alone in which you got me to understand how I can be more effective in my business is revolutionizing my productivity - not just for the short term, but to last for my whole career. Your intuitive understanding of my challenges and concerns, as well as my strengths and value have made a huge difference to me, especially in the way you were able to determine what concepts and tools I needed to be more effective and to feel better about myself. Thank You so much! Michael James The James Brothers Real Estate RE/MAX Properties

 

To Anyone Considering a Life Coach: My hope is you will consider my enthusiastic recommendation of Dr. Christina Winsey-Rudd! As founder of Xdream, a new grassroots based non-profit designed to develop leaders from within the at-risk and physically challenged teen community, life coaching has been the foundational element in the successful start-up and implementation of my vision and goal. Although my dream of helping struggling teens has many rich, life-changing attributes, the vision of this powerful non-profit program existed only on paper for almost three years.  In the past I considered myself a self-starter and developer, yet I had become very discouraged with myself when I couldn’t transfer my vision from paper to reality. Dr. Chris helped me set a goal to develop a specific, tangible plan that would jump-start this program.  In just a few sessions we had created a workable program development plan, plus had examined the personal dynamics that were stalling my ability to launch the program. I gained tremendous insight, received encouragement and practical tools that kept me focused and energized.  Thanks to these coaching sessions with Dr. Chris, Xdream is on its way to becoming a grassroots initiative that will truly make a difference. From the beginning Dr. Chris inspired me with her genuine passion for my goal. She truly believed in me and my dream before I did!  I highly encourage you to explore the benefits of partnering with Dr. Chris to see YOUR dreams come true.

Career/Life Coaching

 

"The work we did together was absolutely worth the investment. I would like to thank you. You have enormously helped me at a critical time." -- G.G.  Boston, MA

 

Cameron, before I met you I thought this type of work would be medicinal -- good for me, but painful, a drag.  To my surprise, I enjoy the calls.  Also, I believe I'm making good progress. Cameron - Thank you for the marketing info.  Also, it occurred to me today as I was driving along that you said some very kind things yesterday in response to my question about what impressions I give.  I was focused on the branding idea so what I heard you say was not to feel obligated to appear strong all the time in every situation.  That it's ok to have other dimensions to my personality.  But today I thought, ... hey, those were really nice things that Cameron said to/about me.  That was nice.  It made me smile.  You are an encourager. :-) Thank you ~  J.E., North Carolina

 

I walked away from our session with one very important point - that I have been defining myself, my identity, by my definition of success (which is a lot of money, big house, etc.) - and until I stop defining myself that way, I will never be happy.  This is not easy to do, however, because I measure myself by my accomplishments.  -- L.B., Massachusetts

 

It has been nothing but fabulous to be able to communicate with you, the impact is so incredible: knowing I could get your advice while going through rough waters made a world of difference. Thank you, Cameron.  Since we started the coaching, I see & feel some drastic improvements.   Here is what I received today, after my meeting yesterday, from two of the reasons for my seeking out a coach: Julie, I wanted to congratulate you on creating a top notch meeting yesterday. I especially appreciated how you kept it very specific, how you spoke to them, and responded to their questions. It was a pleasure attending such a meeting. And this from Mike: You two are great professional role models for the staff. Keep up the great work. Mike In the meantime, Bob, the CEO, asked me to jot down via email what I wanted to talk to him about at the meeting you and I agreed we'd set up. That was easy, because I used the rehearsed text from you.  -- Julie, California

 

Cameron,   I've been thinking about you a lot! I want to talk to you again.  Everything is going well, I have been feeling happy these days, but every time I talk to you I feel even better so ...   I know I have been paying in these big chunks, unable to commit to more financially, but every cent I've spent has been totally worth it.  Your advice has been life changing and will be in the long run.   K., Seattle, WA

 

Career and life coaching with the right person can be an incredibly profound tool to bring satisfaction into your life.  Cameron offers a refreshingly new approach and does an excellent job of asking more internal questions.  He challenges the programming I have absorbed over the years so that I can test validity, authenticity, and determine if those ways of thinking still work for me.  He is a fresh pair of eyes looking at the most important piece of the equation, ME.  I am an unconventional person and may not likely fit into the status quo of jobs.  I need a detective like Cameron to look at my story from unconventional angles. Cameron is incredibly resourceful and has a large knowledge and network base to draw from so that I can compare industries and their trends.   I had fallen into the all too common trap of putting too much effort into trying to fulfill someone else's perception of who I really was.  I am so fortunate that Cameron had the sense to start looking where the true motivator was, inside.  I no longer feel like I have to censor my internal compass in order to comply with a spreadsheet of questions designed to 'fit' me in to something.  Finally I feel like there is hope, someone is listening…I make my own fit – thanks, Cameron.   Lisa A., Portland, Oregon.

When you think about a sports coach, you think about an individual who is able to bring together many diverse personality types with many different skill sets and who then molds them into a focused, single-minded team to create success after success.  Individual coaching does very much the same for the individual.  We each are made up of multiple personalities operating as mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, employees, employers, business owners, etc.  We also have many different skill sets for each of these areas of performance.    Cameron Powell sees this big picture.  With his unique questioning style and intuitive insights, he broadens your view of yourself to include all of these personalities and all of these skill sets.  He is then able to help you define your life's passion.  Once you have clarified this passion, he then leads you through insightful questions, to enable you to get a very clear focus of how you can bring your unique skills from each area of your life and apply them to implement your passion and achieve your dreams and goals. He personally sets up a very supportive environment in which you can take emotional risk to determine what your true passion is and how you want to apply it in this world.  Like any effective sports coach, he then motivates you to stretch even further and go beyond your expectations making your dreams and goals even larger. When I first contacted Cameron, I was in a deep depression. His questions and input helped me to see that I was not creating my depression in a vacuum but that I had placed myself in an environment where anyone would feel depressed.  His input really reminded me that I could choose to live a different life filled with support and love.  To fulfill my passion I could live by providing that for others while I create my own life.  I also understood that it may take some time to manifest in the real world or it could manifest immediately.  Whichever way it chooses to present itself to me I know it is on its way because I have chosen to live differently."   C.R., North Carolina

 

Laura is fantastic. She cuts to the root of what is holding you back but in a very gentle, spiritual, and yet scientifically rational way. – David Angel Rodriguez, photographer, screenwriter.

 

“When I contacted Laura, I hoped to find someone that would help me get organized and hold me accountable for some changes until I became more disciplined.  I achieved the discipline but in an unexpected way.  Laura taught me how to love and accept myself and all the other things became very easy.  I have accomplished so many things with Laura’s teachings, I went from never working out to working out 4 times a week in yoga classes and with a personal trainer.   I have reached my financial goals by sorting through the chaos and taking charge of my finances, and my spiritual life is on fire right now because Laura taught me invaluable lessons about awareness!  I feel empowered in a way I never knew was possible.  I have also been experiencing a joy in ways I never knew was possible.  I plan to work with Laura again in the near future!”   Maryann, Atlanta, GA

Retirement Coaching

 

“Imagine whatever art you practice having every tool of that practice available to you at your fingertips.  This is what it's like having Mino as your coach.  Professionally and personally, I now have a repertoire of processes to perform at my best at the art of life.” J. Palter, President, The Cycle Loft, Burlington, MA

 

“I can’t say enough about Mino.  Her coaching has provided a clarity that I’ve never had before on what makes me unique and what my personal mission is on earth.  It’s a framework not just in finding an ideal position but in everyday living and decision making.” R. Clarke, Executive Director of Adventure Unlimited, Denver, CO.

Leadership Coaching

 

Hi Christine, I would be delighted to give a testimonial regarding your presentation. You are such a bright light in the world and to even be in your company is in and of itself an honor. Your contribution was off the map, beyond our wildest expectations and we still to this day quote you dearest Dr. Rudd. Warmest regards, Annabel

Parent Coaching

 

I learned early on in coaching to look my children in the eye 5 times a day when they talk to me.  It was good advice.  Connect to people.  Slow down.  Feel your feelings and live an authentic life.  If I continue to run at society's pace and keep up, I will find out that it isn't me.  I was a pleaser. Susan taught me, "Define your values and parent accordingly."  The competition and comparison among mothers can blind the new mother. People are all unique and there is no formula to good parenting.  Be true to yourself and your own unique values.  Take time to figure out what these are.  After coaching I took a spiritual path and found out that the best way to be true to yourself is through quiet contemplative time.  Take time each day to observe your feelings, without judgment, and listen to the voice that is deep inside for direction.  You'd be surprised to find how much discipline it takes to stick to it -- taking time out each day for quiet contemplation, but it is important in staying well. Dorothy Reiser

 

I couldn’t be happier! Susan was a huge gift at a very critical time.  A coach helps to cut to the chase with out all the emotional attachment.  They can quickly see what we don’t (or choose not to).  A coach holds you accountable.  If you mess up, well big deal- they are your goals anyway… but if someone is there saying- are you sure about that choice?  You said you wanted blank, blank, blank… and can say it in a very nonjudgmental way- wow – it can really help you get on track! I am very thankful for all Susan has taught me!     -- Debbie Kelly Rutland, Vt Read more of this parent coaching testimonial

Relationship Coaching

 

Kate,   Since we started speaking, I have already made a lot of small gains and feel a huge uplift.  I feel like things are on the brighter side.  There’s still plenty of room for progress, and I want even more growth and movement, but it’s surprising how much relief there is from me myself making changes, not waiting for my partner to change.
