Testimonials
Paul Mazzella, Eastpointe Health & Fitness
“The coaches themselves are very professional, friendly and sincere. We enjoyed partnering with them very much. For me personally, learning about the ‘saboteurs’ in during the program was eye-opening—it was striking how accurate it was. Having a group to explore these tools with, to hear their different perspectives and approaches, made the experience even more powerful and supportive.”
Roy LaBue, EPHF Personal Trainer & Manager
“As the manager of personal training in an integrative fitness center, I gained a lot personally from the program—it helped me recognize how I sometimes hold myself back. The program gave me tools and support to move forward.”
Kim Mazzella, EPHF Nutrition Manager
“The Program helped me personally because it gave me valuable insight into my reactions and provided tools I now use to support both myself and my clients. It was also exciting to see that this program can help Eastpointe members. We are really excited to be working in partnership with Coaching Courageous to provide a practical and meaningful addition to any wellness journey, helping members build self-awareness and improve relationships.”
Collection of Staff Comments, Eastpointe Health & Fitness
"It was overwhelming to start the PQ© Program Group Sessions with my colleagues, but Coaching Courageous staff took a lot of that anxiety and fear out of the equation...
I was able to get personalized support from the coaches while in a group setting with my colleagues and still felt comfortable...
Now have a big picture view of my saboteurs and the resources to practice working on them with a inside support from my colleagues knowing we are all observing ourselves catch our saboteurs and kind of wink and nod at one another or make encouraging comments…"
