"When I first started working with Victoria, I was at a pretty big cross road in my life. I was trying to decide which way to go. Should I stay working for a company in an industry I'd been in for twelve years, or do I focus on the business my wife and I started 6 years ago.

I questioned whether or not to quit everything comfortable and the steady income. Do I work 60 hours a week for someone else or spend those hours making my business stronger? Do I see my family when it is convenient for my employer or work from home and watch my kids grow up?

The last two questions were what Victoria really helped me see clearly. She helped me put everything into perspective. It was great talking to an objective third person who had nothing to gain either way. Victoria was very easy to talk to and did not make any judgement on what I was thinking or what I had on my mind.

On May 30, 2008, I removed myself from the employee work force and my wife and I are solely self employed and loving the extra time we have with our boys and each other. Had I not taken the time to ask for help, and waited until I thought I was ready, I would have to take vacation time from my employer to watch my boys, now 3 and 1, graduate.

Thank you Victoria, You have changed my life and for that I, along with Alison and the boys, are truly grateful!"

"Since I began working with Victoria my personal and professional life has changed in profound ways. The greatest achievement has been the balance I now enjoy between work, family and my personal growth.

That balance allowed me to grow my business by 48% last year while cutting down work hours by approximately 10%. This has given me more time with my family and greater self confidence. Victoria is there to continually guide, encourage and hold me accountable for my goals while maintaining my Values."

"When I first met Victoria, she was attending a meeting that I was facilitating. She made the statement, "I not only help you climb the ladder of success, I make sure that you ladder is leaning on the right wall." This got my attention, but I didn't jump. Some months later, I was facilitating another event when I heard it again. This time, I also heard, "Complimentary Consultation". She had my attention.

After the complimentary consultation, I knew I needed to do this. I was getting fairly high up the success ladder, but I wasn't sure it was on the right wall.

Working with Victoria has helped me in many ways. Most importantly, she has kept me focused on what is important. I can be in pretty high demand in my community. I was having trouble saying no, which was keeping me from accomplishing what I needed to do. She told me that every time I said yes to one thing, I was automatically saying no to something else. That struck a bell. I still say yes quite a bit, but with qualifiers that leave time for me and my family.

The second thing that she has done is hold me to task. When I get off track, she asks the tough questions that get me back where I need to be. This can be a bit of a risk, since I am paying the bill. But, it is a risk she is willing to take to get me where I need to go.

She is awesome!"

"In the spring of 2005, I chose to employ Victoria Cook for my personal coach. As a professional trainer and consultant, I am familiar with the fundamentals involved in personal achievement. I counted on Victoria to help me discern where I was at in my career and re-define my direction.

In just a short time, Victoria helped me get a firm grip on my current situation. Through insightful and thoughtful questioning, she also coached me to map a plan that has put me on my way to my next horizon.

It is important to note that Victoria is exceptional in character and principled living. With these qualities as a platform, she has used her skills to help move me forward. I am proud to recommend Victoria to anyone dedicated to personal growth and making a difference."
