most coaches are just learning the ropes, Jim Earley has been turning
coaching into an art form. Norm

"Five people formed our small agency four years ago to provide psychological services to families with children with disabilities. None of us had any training in business or management -- so, in developing our new company, we were floundering in a number of areas...most of all, how to set and accomplish meaningful goals for our company. We hired Jim as our coach. Through a variety of activities, Jim inspired us to create an exciting professional vision, but, more importantly, assisted us in formulating professional goals that would lead to a successful business. Jim was instrumental in assisting the members of our company to clarify roles and identify barriers to growth. Whenever it seemed as if our progress would slow or stop, Jim was always available to listen. Listen for what was important to each of us. Listen for what may be interfereing with our progress. Our company is doing very well now, both professionally and as a small business. We couldn't have done it without Jim's coaching." Nancy

"Being the independent, stubborn, "figure it out yourself" person, I always believed that coaching was not a venue that would provide strong benefits for me. Having tried coaching, I had found this to be true. Until I began coaching with Jim Earley. Jim has an insight that is truly a gift. He is able to see connections very quickly and has moved me in greater understanding of myself. The result is greater balance, focus and a realization that I don't always need to figure it out myself. I would recommend Jim to anyone who truly wishes to gain insight and take action." Cheryl Leitschuh, Ph.D "Jim Earley has an
amazing gift of insight, and the ability to communicate those insights.
I literally never left a meeting with Jim without realizing that I
had learned something dramatically new, and something that helped
my life go much more smoothly. Teresa
Patton

"Jim Earley is a master coach. He is gifted at being able to help others improve themselves by giving people structure and process for making others me effective. His unique ability to add insight and common sense at just the right time and in just the right way have benefited our organization in the past. These practical applications of new thinking which enhances new skills to get effective results allows everyone he coaches to be better prepared for the challenges of this new century. On a more personal note, Jim has helped me to gain insight, confidence and new strategies to get the things I want out of life. His style and approach are very comfortable yet his coaching has made me uncomfortable enough to decide to change myself." Peter

"The management job at Caterpillar is much the same as it is everywhere else. This world of fast-paced change is keeping us all terminally busy and tactically focused, just to survive. But we want to do more than just keep busy and work our "to do" lists, and that is where Jim Earley comes in. Jim has worked with me and members of our management team for over six years now, and he is a coach unlike any other. Jim has the ability to hone in on a problem and ask the right questions that help you make sense out of what is going on. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not sure what to do, a conversation with Jim will produce clarity and a sense of direction. With Jim, you always get a handle on the "next step". Jim's coaching is essential to enabling me and Caterpillar managers keep a strategic perspective, focus on what's truly important, and gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of our work. Without Jim, we are busy. With Jim in our corner, we are focused on the right things and we are effective." Bill

"Sometimes, good managers need coaching to become even better. When the need arises, we turn to Jim Earley for one-on-one consultation that makes a difference for individuals -- and for our company. Jim's commonsense approach gets results. Using exceptional listening and relationship skills, he opens people's minds to different ways to look at issues. He is warm and wise. People enjoy spending time with Jim -- so much so, that some of our managers have continued working with him on their own after our company goals for his sessions have been accomplished. Jim thinks life should be enjoyed and that upbeat spirit should extend to an individual's approach to work. If it doesn't, he finds out how to make it better." Jill

"Working with Jim as my Executive Coach has been one of the most rewarding developmental experiences in my career. He has a special ability to allow me to "self discover" the solutions to my own challenges via his outstanding questioning skills. I am grateful for his coaching savvy and often refer him to other leaders in my organization." Kathi Tunheim, Founder, Tunheim Leadership Group
"Jim has really helped me clarify my own priorities so that I can accomplish the goals that reflect my values. I look forward to my telephone consultations with him and use those sessions as a focus for weeks afterward. I highly recommend Jim's coaching to any busy person that wants to quit spinning their wheels." Paula Moyer, Freelance Medical Journalist |

"My experience with Jim Earley was absolutely incredible! I was introduced to him by a mutual friend shortly after my husband died, leaving me 3 companies to run. Jim has a natural insight, is easy to talk to, and has also become a good friend. I'm not sure where I would be today if it wasn't for him. He was there every step of the way when I needed it. I am an extremely independent person who likes to call the shots, and found that working with Jim, I was able to do that. He doesn't tell you what to do or how to do it, he helps you figure that out. And that is a magnificent journey!! Trudy
Nesheim I am a small-business owner of 8 years. I begun my business wit a clear vision for my future. As my life (professional and personal) unfolded, my vision required restructuring, including my motivation. Jim became my solution to the problem. Throughout our work together, I have been challenged to see myself honestly and with more clarity, greatly assisting my vision planning. Success in your life's work isn't accidental; it's progressive planning. Trailblazer Coaching is a working resource helping me make my life's work a success in progress. Brenda

"Life and business can be like navigating a strange river at night. The markers are somewhere on the shoreline; the trick is to see them. Jim is a master at helping you shine a light on those markers and determine what they mean." Barbara
