1. " Through Tom's coaching, I was able to calmly assess my worth and negotiate for the proper compensation for my current position. Tom's questions and exercise made me aware of the extent of my talents and strengths. He made it easy for me to determine a fair package that is mutually beneficial to me and my employer without any stress. Thank you, Tom!"

2. "For years I have been dealing with a weight problem. I have been on every diet know to mankind, joined every diet program in the world (i.e. Weight Watchers, Jennie Craig, etc.) and walked my way to China and back on a treadmill only to find myself at the same weight as when I started. Even faced with health problems (high blood pressure and high cholesterol), I couldn't get my weight under control."

"I started with a personal coach at the suggestion and gift of a friend. Coaching has done marvelous things for me. It has taught me that "I am enough" to be in control of my weight. It has taught me that I must love myself before I can face the challenges of my life. Spending a half-hour a week on the phone with my coach, E. Thomas Costello, is the most precious gift someone has ever given me. It has helped me so much that I have now signed up at my own expense to continue this path of discovery. I would recommend coaching to anyone who wants to have a better life, no matter what his or her current environment or situation is. Oh yes, I am now losing the weight (both physically and mentally) that I have carried for so many years. It is coming off naturally and staying off. If I can do this, so can you!"

3. "I was in the midst of a bitter divorce. Not because I was fighting with my ex, but because of the hurt I encountered throughout the marriage. My self-esteem was at an all time low. A friend suggested that I hire a personal coach. She gave me the name of several coaches that she had heard of through Coach University. I interviewed each coach on the list and chose E. Thomas Costello because of his compassionate way on the telephone. He seemed to have intuition beyond that of most people. His senses were tuned into mine. I have been working with him for almost 5 months and the time has been terrific. I am no longer feeling like the divorce was my fault but am feeling that I had the right to want a better life for myself. I also feel that I am a special person who has much love to give in this life. Tom has helped me find the courage within me to pick myself up and start all over again. He has helped me find, within myself, the person that has been hiding all of these years. He has helped me learn that the answer to all of my problems lies within the power of me."

4. "My coach Tom, has affected my life in the most profound way. From helping me find a job to improving my relationships with my family and friends, Tom's coaching has enabled me with a clarity and a focus. I'm working more efficiently, enjoyably, and effortlessly. And I enjoy being more organized, eating better, and being committed to handling my finances. Having the help and support of an understanding coach like Tom just makes life more fun and that's what it all about, isn't it?"
