What was the biggest reason you wanted coaching? What did you hope to learn?

I always felt like I was behind in the people-skills department due to my lifestyle and upbringing, and sought a way to make up for my years of lost experience.

Soon I realized the only way to make progress was to take a systematic, efficient approach.

Doing my own research on how to build my people skills could have worked but would have taken lots of time, effort, and trial-and-error--that's where coaching came in to save the day by allowing me to stand on the shoulders of giants.

During coaching, I had hoped to learn how to approach people, start conversations, and develop a healthier, less-harsh mindset towards social interactions.

What would you say is the most important thing you have learned with coaching?

The most important thing that I learned during coaching was that even if you have all these fancy techniques and strategies in place, it will mean nothing if you're not consistent in your efforts to grow.

On top of that, even if your approach to building people skills is less than optimal, you can still make tons of progress by sticking to your game plan.

So get out there and don't stop!

Talk a little bit about how life is different after coaching. What sort of wins can you share with us?

I now have a system to help me build people skills one step at a time and hold myself accountable throughout the way.

During my coaching program I had some pretty big wins such as going by myself to meetup groups, where I introduced myself to strangers, chatted with them, and actually had a good time--something I wouldn't have fathomed before committing to working on myself.

Given the progress I made throughout the coaching program, I am now much more confident in my ability to grow, socially speaking, and I now have hard evidence that charisma is less innate and more so a skill that can be learned through practice.

What would you tell someone who is considering private coaching from Jeff?

If you realize the importance of good people skills, feel yours could need some work, but also live a really busy life, then coaching could help out a lot!

Coaching saves you tons of time by giving you access to Jeff's years and years of accumulated experience and knowledge, rather than having to go out and acquire it yourself.

That said, building people skills is a real commitment, with or without coaching, so expect to put in some hard work if you want to see real progress.

​This means actually doing research, dragging yourself out of your house for an event you said you'd go to even if you have ten excuses not to, and just sticking to your game plan consistently.
