"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."
