Testimonials

Since 1996, I've coached over 700 individual clients. Several of them have been gracious enough to offer their opinion of me here, in audio and written form.

Thank you for your insight and coaching – you were like an enlightened friend who challenged my thinking, expanded my mind, and inspired my vision. Life is BEYOND what I aspired to…"

"Drew Rozell has an uncanny ability to zero in on the issues that keep you from excelling. Regardless of how good you think you are, Drew can draw out your very best and help you put it to practice. I cannot measure the far-reaching effect his coaching has had on my personal and business life. I confidently recommend him to anyone who will listen."

"You really rocked my world over the past year and have helped me to re-connect with myself in ways I never knew were possible. The impact on my life has been truly astounding to me. So much has shifted, and thankfully I did keep a log of most of it, so I can look back on where I've come. In a way, I feel like I've been brought back to life again, and into a whole new world. All of this is SO meaningful and significant!  I stand in such a different place than where I stood a year ago."

— Paul Rarick

"I have been working with Drew for 8 months now. Through our regular phone conversations and emails he has inspired me and encouraged me to live my dream of running a successful sports marketing business. He challenges me to live out the potential that is in us all and also gives me a break to enjoy life outside of work. As a result of our work together I am considerably farther down the road with my company than if I had ventured out on my own without his help. It's been the best investment I could have made (and unfortunately he isn't paying me to say this)!"

"Thought you'd enjoy this quote from a friend of mine. She was a former boss and I spoke with her after her return from a vacation. I sensed disappointment in being back in the grind.

Anyway, she said, 'Mary Ann, I want your life.'

Wow, a perfect reinforcement the work I did with Drew."

"Drew's coaching is amazing: minimal words, maximum impact. Today, one short phrase of three words from you, followed by a long pause, helped me clarify months of uncertainty in my intentions. You, sir, are unique."

"What can I say about Drew? He’s warm, witty, calm, intelligent and he doesn’t speed in his car. As someone who would like to be calm and not have to speed, I was immediately drawn to Drew. His integrity is enviable. Drew helped me when I was at a crossroads in my career. I needed to balance my work and my family life more effectively. He helped me make sure that the choices I was making were right for me and for the lifestyle that I want to lead, now and in the future. When I was tempted to make a quick decision – he made me examine it carefully. And when I was trying to force things to be (as is my nature) – he helped me to consider the possibility that these things just weren’t right for me. I’m learning to let things be what they are, while designing the life that’s best for me. I am also ensconced in a new job that gives me the income, flexibility and rewards that I was looking for. We’ve shared lots of laughs along the way – which really helps when talking about difficult issues. I would strongly recommend Drew as a coach. His support, clarity, and objectivity have been invaluable."

"Drew Rozell is the voice of reason. Always constant, persistent, and compassionate. Drew guides you down the paths you're compelled to travel, yet keeps you from turning a blind eye to some that you didn't previously consider. Never a taskmaster, never passing judgment; always a friend."

"Drew helped me to gain insight and perspective into the things that were working in my life and those things that were really holding me back from having the life I really wanted. He also helped me create a clear vision of what I really want and develop the plan to achieve that vision. Drew is both a caring and involved coach who really gets to the heart of the matter quickly!

"I have always considered myself someone who could bounce back from anything. Yet, through my work with Drew, I have learned that there are times in our lives when we all could benefit from a guiding hand and another perspective on ourselves. Drew was able to help me re-focus my energy and re-balance my life. Making these changes gave me the energy to develop the game plan where I now focus on doing the things that are most important to me. He helped me answer the question, 'How must I live my life in a deliberate manner so that I can be truly happy?' Finding the answer to that question has made a tremendously positive impact on both my personal and professional life."

"I started working with Drew about a year ago and his coaching style was exactly what I was looking for - he's smart, he's insightful and he knows how to draw out my truth. The fact that he does it in such an easy, painless way makes it all the better.  I have never felt pushed in any direction other than my own - he's never made me wrong and I know he truly supports me in whatever I want. My sessions with him have been conversations of integrity and accountability and I find myself looking forward to the sessions and the lessons I always take from them. It is absolutely money well spent - an investment in yourself!"

"I began working with Drew during a time of great transition in my life. Working together, I was able to tie up the loose ends in my life that were causing problems, grow as a person, and move away from my past and towards my future. I have learned so much about myself and I now only work on the projects that interest me — those based on my personal needs and values. I would recommend Drew as a personal and professional coach to anyone who wants more out of his/her life. Thanks Drew."

"I love working with Drew because he helps me view challenging situations with a fresh perspective. Speaking with Drew every week drives me forward with purpose and after I get off the phone with Drew I feel energized. He is also great at listening and responding constructively and objectively. He has taught me to have patience with myself and to take tasks in enjoyable and doable bite-sized pieces. He has also helped me be in the moment and target my core needs."

— Tali Gai, Artist Extraordinaire,

"I've seen Drew's coaching business evolve from its enthusiastic first days to a truly great practice. But it wasn't until I became a client that I really experienced what Drew is – Inspirational. Drew's own entrepreneurial spirit is positively magnetic. Seeing him take his passions and turn them into reality is a sight to behold. Drew puts me in a place where I'm able to push myself - from there I've achieved so much more than I could alone. Finally…more importantly than being a great coach, Drew is a great person!"

— Alex Fitzpatrick,

"Drew has true concern with my wellness and business success. In the first few calls, he pointed out some measures that had to be taken to make that made my business more manageable and more enjoyable. When I followed through with his recommendations, they worked.  Sales increased and I had more time. The benefits were immediate and the results fantastic. Drew has been able to draw from me the solutions to my problems and the accountability he provides helps me to follow through and continue moving forward.  The result is that my business is operating enjoyably smoother. And, I have made a new friend. I would recommend Drew to anyone as a tremendous asset and resource for their business — he certainly is in mine."

"I use Drew as a coach because when I feel I am at sea, he is  able to stand on solid ground and see things from a broader perspective.  Drew asks the right, and sometimes surprising, questions. Drew keeps me going; he encourages me; he allows me to rehearse so I am prepared for a big meeting; he makes it hard to be in denial; he gives me a connection so I can't be in the "I'm-all-alone-in-this" syndrome.  Drew listens.  DREW CARES!"

"As I write this testimonial, I find myself feeling overwhelmed — even a bit frustrated — as the experience of working with Drew has changed my life in ways that I cannot capture in words. I could not be more excited about the life I am living."

— Brian Monahan
   Cincinnati, OH

 

"Talking with Drew is VERY fun and VERY, VERY helpful. I have done a lot of work on my issues over the years. I've seen therapists a couple of times. They were slightly helpful, but Drew's coaching is more a supportive process, enabling the me to do the work (i.e., think through what it is that will make me happier, more at peace, more successful, etc). From dealing with fears, to cleaning out closets, to dealing with loss, working with you has been extremely beneficial in many ways. It is working extremely well. Drew has been a wonderful addition to my life!"

"I wanted to thank you again for providing me with the timely support, advice and counsel that I needed at a particularly vulnerable and stressful time in my life. I was in a particularly "low place" with respect to my career, and I needed the assistance of an objective professional to help me sort things out. Your coaching has provided me with some keen insights into what motivates me to work, as well as some of my particular strengths and weaknesses in the workplace.  In addition, your coaching has helped me to regain the confidence in myself–specifically my skills and abilities–that I felt I had lost for some time.   
Finally, and most importantly, you helped me to quickly focus and prepare for the change in my work situation as well as for reentry into the legal market as an attorney. In hindsight, things could not have turned out better! I'm proud that I was able to (with the assistance of your coaching) do some honest self-assessment, make some important decisions, and following through by making changes.   
Thanks again, Drew."

Drew's inspired me in so many ways and I am so grateful that the gods chose to put him on my path… He's just what I needed.

— Sondra Rose,
   Port Townsend, Washington

"I was referred to Drew by a friend.  As an aspiring coach with many creative interests, I was hoping to find a mentor coach. What I got from Drew was much, much more. With an objective viewpoint and only having my best interests at heart, he was able to uncover the truth within, which was although I would enjoy and succeed at coaching, I was avoiding going for my true passion: music. Dabbling I was good at, but I learned with Drew's support and guidance that going for what is in your heart is the best way to go.

My music is going very well, my foundation and understanding of coaching is in place, and ironically, I am starting to get calls from people of creative talents and interests who are looking for a coach.  Drew is always in my corner, cheering me on, and I am grateful for what he has helped me to achieve and believe."

"Drew has absolutely been one of the most influential people in my life! I started coaching with him several months ago and less than one year later I was able to make the transition out of my comfort zone (an 11 year job that was burning me out), to an independent life of my own creation. I now have a coaching practice with clients spanning both coasts and a therapy practice that has become half-filled in only 1 months time! I will tell you it was hard work, but Drew made it incredibly safe for me to challenge many of my beliefs and, after a bit of psychological dismantling, I am coming in to my new life with a lightness I have never experienced.  I can tell you without a doubt, that I would not have made this transition without his encouragement…and I wasn't a slacker before! 

All I can say is, go for it!"

"Drew will tell you that it was no accident when I stumbled on his website last year. I needed to find him, and he was there. I was at a mid-life point, moderately successful and wondering what the next thing was for me to do. Indecision may — or may not — have been my biggest problem. I thought a coach just might help. I'd spoken to a few, but was drawn to Drew's grounded presence and no BS approach in working with me. I'm a skeptical sort of guy, tending to dig in my heels when things move too quickly. Drew stuck with me on a winding, often contradictory path, sometimes seeing progress where I saw none. Today, just a few months later, I can say that working with Drew was a huge success. More than ever I'm living the life I want to live, doing the things I want to do, and laughing at all the little roadblocks life throws my way."
