Testimonials
Here's what people are saying about Genuine Coaching Services:
"Just wanted to let you know I was SO loose on stage; it was a pleasure and a joy. The internal preparations really helped out, and your suggestions were of great value and assistance!”
- M., musician.
"I was once a very stressed little girl,
Until I found a website and gave it a whirl.
I was promised some creative and magical journeys;
A map, some direction, a warm summer breeze.
Along the way, we battled the gremlins,
Who ever knew they were full of sins.
Patience invited me in for some tea,
I had no idea I would end up happy.
Today the road is a little more traveled,
And I'm comfortable, no longer disheveled.
It's good to be home, it's good to be here,
Thanks, Linda, for lending your ear."
- JW, Writer, Toronto
"Linda Dessau is an amazing coach! In just one individual coaching session, Linda was able to identify my deepest creative blocks, renew my creative enthusiasm, and inspire me to take action towards being the artist I know I am. She creates a 'safe and fertile space' in which all artists can flourish. Working with Linda is a truly transformational experience."
~ JR, Writer, California
"WOW!!!! What an awesome conversation! I have to say, you took me some places that I have not faced before! Very powerful. I will be 'Playing in the Divine Light' here shortly. Your manner of coaching was very gentle. I felt very comfortable and respected. You honored where I was coming from and what I was saying. From the very beginning, you invited me into the conversation in a way that I felt completely open and trusting, that we would be going through this together.”
- Melinda Burger, flutist, coach
"After I got off the phone with you I did my homework! Things seems more manageable. Coaching can be powerful. I thought a lot afterward about how stuck I can get without even realizing it. I felt refreshed, and more hopeful that things can change for the better if I stop to think about it and take some action. Your perspective was helpful. Anyway, pretty powerful for one conversation. You do a great job! I will look forward to talking with you again."
- D., a psychologist.
"You held me up as nothing but GREAT throughout our coaching, believing in me, championing me, and inspiring me. Your total support in me helped me to believe in myself and accomplish more."
- S.M.
"You ask very intriguing questions that force your clients to realize the real issues. You are an excellent listener and have a very caring way about you."
- Dr. Elisse Greenspoon, Chiropractor
"You had a very nice tone, it gave me the freedom to speak. You weren't leading in any way. I found you to be calming and supportive."
- C.J.
"You were great, a great listener. You were very positive. You told me things about what I'd said that I didn't even realize. I learned so much - the homework assignments really worked."
- A.M.
