Point of Impact
The following are pages and pages of extracts from individual client communications. They express these clients’ immediate experiences and forward progress. Why are there so many? Why are they so emotional and passionate? Why do they share so much gratitude?
It’s because of the profound transformational impact of the work we are doing together. It’s way more than they could have imagined!
Also, see a few short client testimonial videos at the bottom of the page.
“I am sending you this message to thank you. I am in a fantastic place. I have recently dealt with a lot of drama and just steered the ship. No problems, freak-outs, or issues. I can’t say enough. Things have done a complete 180. I have the time you promised and am working toward the future I want to create. I get it all now. The AH-HA moments happened, and a switch went off."
"Thanks again for your extra session with XXXX and me. This was one of the most valuable of our many great times together. Your approach opened a door and made a difference, and we can build on that. The way you handled her disrespectful and condescending style of speaking to me was right on point by the comparison to a child."
“Just last week my wife said something along the lines of, 'Wow, you have really been so helpful and supportive these past few weeks. I appreciate it so much.' At which point I told her, 'Thank you for noticing – this is how I want to be from now on.' I talked to her about the coaching with Don and how it’s gotten me thinking more deeply about how I show up. Clearly it’s having a positive impact already!"
“I just wanted to share something that speaks to the impact your coaching is having on me. An individual who left (our company) last July came to the office yesterday. We then got to talking about (our company). He was surprised to see so many new faces and to hear how much things have changed since he left. He remarked 'You really seem to be at peace with all of this,' as if he could hardly believe it. And I thought, he couldn’t have said something nicer to me! I am at peace with all of this, and I feel great about how things are changing, for me as an individual and for the company and my team. Thank you for helping me create this change, Don!"
"I thought a lot about our time together this morning and can’t thank you enough for the epiphanies I had because of the truth bombs you laid on me. I have thought a lot in the past about this. It’s in nearly every worthy piece of advice you read about a better life… I never fully understood what that means or HOW to do that until today. What a gift your explanation was! And then the first working actionable step to do.
I knew there was something there… a childhood wound, but you helped me discover it today! I’ve been looking for this for a decade at least. I’m sure there are more but just this much has helped me open a gate I feel will lead me down a long road of discovery.
Thank you so much. This has already positively affected more than one interaction with my kids today. I am not 'cured,' I know but I am excited about this so thank you so much!"
“Thank you for the excellent guidance and coaching you have provided me this past year. Your work has been transformational. After hearing you present at a family enterprise conference in Atlanta a few years ago, I realized you had an approach that was unique and distinctive. Your training in psychology and your 30+ years of business knowledge, experience, and acumen gave you an approach and perspective that allowed me to 'Look at my life through a different lens.' As a result, I have achieved levels of success that I have not seen for 10 years. More important, I am happier in my business life and in my personal life. I woke up in the morning with a renewed sense of purpose and passion. Thank you for restoring my joy for life and work."
“Thank you again for everything Don. I am so grateful for you, and the impact you have had on my life."
“Just want to thank you for all the amazing impact you’ve had on my life. Can't thank you enough! Great journey so far!"
“Fantastic! My son is a different guy … Totally … All in a good way. Thanks for all your love and support and help."
"Wow! I love so much about this message Don. This gave me such a different perspective. And I really appreciate your counsel around not rushing this. Not thinking so linear as to a beginning and an end but more of a constant process of progression."
“Thank you for your support and wisdom throughout one of my most challenging years. I see progress and opportunity and I am inspired by the ideas of deep personal change you doggedly hound me with. This is your unique ability.”
“Thanks Don! You have a very unique skill set and more importantly it is clear to me that you are more than a coach. Coaching is only part of what you do…it is clear you care about client’s life successes.”
"Your example is the most profound example to me. I lose it 15 times a day, sometimes an hour, and you are my motivation. But that can change. I’ve not been doing very well lately, but I’m happy to report that I will do better starting today. Thanks so much for all you have done for us!"
"If anyone asks, what do you think about the work you are doing with Don? I tell them it’s worth 150%! Not just on the personal side, slowing down, getting clear on where I want to go, and those things. But on the business side – making some great strides there. And, with our estate planning and a lot more."
"This has already been life-changing for me. Our conversations in sessions, the homework, and just holding myself to a much higher standard with you always in my mind, is pushing me to the next level. Thank you for this opportunity and for believing in me."
"Thank you for everything today. Every session is great, but somehow they keep getting even better."
"Thank you. I am so glad to be working with you. I can tell you I would not be doing this if you weren’t here. I wouldn’t know how to do it."
"I was able to see some things in a new way and map out a new course of action. The lights came on. I teared up and knew 'You just changed my life!'"
"Wow, I am finally out of the doldrums and the Universe is sending me everything I could ever ask for. I have a verbal agreement with ZZZ for a $1.2 mm deal AND what is developing to be a big deal with YYY. With the (major award) win and my relationship with (wife) and the kids, I am overflowing with gratitude. Thank you!"
“Don is a CEO coach but he focuses on self-love and nurturing in order to be a successful leader and businessperson. It’s unlike anything I have ever experienced. I have been through years of therapy and four visits with this man, and I have an entirely new vision of myself, enormous self-love and my productivity is through the roof. You should call him and have a conversation with him. I think you will see the uniqueness of what he does.”
"Thank you so much for a wonderful session the other day. I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I started reading the Hulnick book, and I can tell it’s going to make a real impact. I’ve had several meetings in the past two days. Some were networking and sales oriented. I’ve noticed a difference in my approach already. You are good at what you do. Thanks again, my friend."
"Thank you so much! I can’t thank you enough for what this experience has done for me and my family. You’re doing some amazing work!"
“Thank you! I really appreciate you, and your support. Man you’re one of a kind. Thank you."
"I loved our session yesterday. You are helping me so much!"
"Our meeting was the moment things started to drastically shift in my world. Thank you again for all of your support with everything!"
"This is good stuff. Practical and I appreciate your transparency. That is what you don’t get from trained counselors who sit on the sideline, ask questions make you do all the work, and never really guide or give real examples."
"I crossed a major milestone today. One million in production!!! Thank you for changing my life, restoring my confidence, and bringing peace and joy back in my life!!!"
"Don has been a blessing for me and for all of our family within the business. He has shown us a perspective of calmness and clarity I never knew existed. I truly feel more complete as a man and our family bond is stronger than ever!"
"I had so much fun doing it that even if it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t matter. I feel like that big fear is not there anymore. I appreciate that so much, and that’s all your credit because I was not able to do that before I started working with you. Thank you SO much."
"Thank you Don, truly, sincerely, thank you for helping me see what I’ve not been able to see for so many years and helping me focus on being what I know is true. I AM now so much more than what I have been."
"Don, I couldn’t have done it without your help! Thank you!!"
"We couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks for all that you have done to help our son. He truly appreciates you."
"Thank you! My son has been blown away with the progress! God bless you!"
"I am healing and releasing fear and other negative emotions. It’s like driving down the road, opening the window, and throwing it out. I do not keep it with me. I have no place for it. I didn’t think I could do that in the past. Now I know I can. I am going beyond where I have ever been before. Beyond my imagination. I am excited about the possibilities. The tools and skills that I possess, that I am unleashing, are incredibly powerful! You are the only person on the planet I can have this conversation with. Nobody else would understand it. They wouldn’t believe it.
This is a more realistic approach than anything I have been able to come up with by myself."
"You are incredible! What a blessing! I haven’t had a chance to properly respond to your email, but all I have to say to you is thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m ever so grateful for your love and energy and guidance! I am so excited to see you having so much amazing success! Thank you for being an amazing blessing in my life! You said yesterday to see our time together as an amazing gift and a shift, and it is! I already feel the ripples of our conversation in my life! Thank you!"
"Thanks so much for today! It was really, really helpful. More helpful than I expected. I really was able to hear what you were saying in a different way than I had heard it before. I’ve been told a lot of the same things, but you did it in a really great way: gentle and firm, loving and ruthless, it was surprisingly effective. I say surprising not because I don’t think you’re an awesome coach. It was surprising because what you were saying wasn’t particularly new to me, but it just landed in a really important way. So thank you so much for taking the time and offering me your guidance and lessons and giving me a gentle but firm kick in the ass."
"As far as the last group session, I was absolutely filled with so much gratitude during that session, I felt so much clarity around thoughts, the power of thoughts, and what I need to do better at practicing. I absolutely loved it!"
"I have tears in my eyes as I write this. Thank you for your insight and for your support! Man, from where we were 40+ years ago, I would never have dreamed that you and I would be having this experience and connection today!"
"Thank you for all you’ve done for our family. Our son loved his time with you. He was finally in a place to receive counsel. Timing is everything!"
"Thanks for all you have done to guide me. You are a coach second to none!!!!"
"Working with Don has been transformational. It has changed my life."
"Wow, thank you Don for a powerful coaching experience today!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!! I look forward to seeing you when I come to Denver in March."
"Don, I’m forever grateful to you, and for you. It goes so much more beyond these words. You’ve given me the most beautiful of gifts, the biggest being your energy. You’ve helped me take my past life, to let go of the weights full of negative energy that I’ve been carrying around…every moment and turn them into moments of wisdom. I’m healing second by second, and forever will. I can’t forget how to heal."
"Meeting with XXXX went well today. Your prep was helpful. He came with an entirely changed attitude which was helpful but asking not telling also made the outcome and process easier. He discovered his resistance to the process was a problem he had created, and he apologized to me for the time delays and excessive stress caused by those choices. I was very pleased and complimented this shift in attitude. I think allowing him time to reflect on his own helped."
"I wanted to share with you (My) 'New Vision.' The following is the outcome of a recent 'Thinking Session.' As always, appreciate your insight and guidance towards my evolution. Client’s opening statement – 'Create a vision of yourself and business that you get excited about. Define the vision in a very granular nature and share the vision passionately with your family and team.'"
"I had an amazing time in XXXX and I think this can be a really good move for my family. I am really going to need your help to balance everything and build the practice. But I’m really excited because I’m looking at about $ plus. I need to be organized and kick ass. But thanks to you and the work we are doing, I feel so much more in charge of my life. Thank you so much."
"What a crazy world we’ve been living in since we first met. I managed to leave my finance gig in September and closed on a small business on 10/1. It is still early but the challenge is exciting and fulfilling – much more fulfilling than the overpaid finance grind. I couldn’t be happier. Just meeting you sent me on this new trajectory, so I owe you a big THANK YOU."
"Fantastic Don! 2020 is going to be an enormous growth year for me – in continuing to grow and learn to do things more efficiently and unemotionally than I ever have before. The money will follow – without sacrificing the things that are most important to me in my life."
"I was stressing, so much about that meeting. I went to their office on Monday morning and kept psyching myself up by reminding myself 'Worst case scenario, I’m going to come away having learned a great deal from this experience.' And also reminding myself of my intention 'I AM FEARLESS!' The result was completely unexpected (because I didn’t go in with expectations) and they were so positive and supportive.
There’s lots more to share there, but I’m so grateful for the work we’re doing around intentionally focusing on what I’m doing and living unconditionally. Although I’m still a work in progress, I have never been so thrilled with my progress professionally. You have absolutely blessed my life."
"I’m really doing well Don. I actually have tears in my eyes as I type this. I’ve been doing so well lately! I do think part of it is my life is less busy. But maybe my life is less busy because my mind is less busy. Could be a bit of both. The point is, I’m really happy with where I am and even more excited about where I’m going. Much MUCH room for improvement but definitely headed in the right direction.
So the hope is, that if and when any of these things slip (I get busy, sick or whatever) I can still maintain this calm, more peaceful state. It’s easy to be calm when life is going well…and I am practicing while the storm is calm in hopes that when the winds pick up here, I will still be able to float nicely on top. Thanks so much for your love, time, energy, wisdom and attention."
"Don, a lot of good thoughts in your words. I DO feel good as to where I’m going in my life. You have helped me get there and help me realize that it is alright to take care of (me) first and things that I can’t control, not get wrapped up into them so tight that it affects my outcomes. I still try to work with (my wife) so she can get that message, but it is a work in progress…I’m sure you can help me. I’m glad that we did cross paths in our lives and thanks for all the help with my boys. Let’s now take my coaching to a higher level so I can be a better example for people to follow and maybe make a difference in someone’s life."
"Thank you, Don. That was a fantastic session. Our work together has been transformative already. I am super grateful that you are my teacher, my guide, and my friend."
"Thank you so much Don for your generous time today, brilliant insights and pushing to challenge my thinking and create a deeper view and reflection. I will continue to process all of our conversation and please know it’s already had a very positive impact on me. Thank you also for these tools!"
"So, continuing to press on towards the prize and knowing that this time in the desert is growing me stronger. Great things are going to come out of all of this. I sincerely appreciate and value the work we have done together. I do not know how I would be surviving if not for the tools you’ve given and the progress we’ve made."
"Thank you for meeting with me today. As usual, I was so enlightened after hearing your observations and thoughts. You are so awesome!"
"Today and every day forward, in every moment, I am the essence of JOY! Thank you for being a blessing in my life!!!"
"Thank you for a fantastic session yesterday. I am so psyched. I will definitely share my notes asap. Meanwhile, here is my Declaration. I am super grateful to you."
"I just wanted to reach out and thank you for such an incredible meeting. After speaking with XXXX, I had a feeling going into it that it was going to be very special. That said, it wasn’t only special, it was lifechanging. I’ve already begun to implement what we spoke about into my own personal life. Thank you."
"Friday during golf, I played lights out…was in a good place. Our team tied for first, with me eagling a hole for our squad. Pretty cool stuff and thought you would appreciate. I’m glad we talked through it! Been taking notes…talk soon. Good job Coach!"
"I just met with another potential coach and had a very different experience than I did with you. I will absolutely review your emails this afternoon and I genuinely appreciate all the time you have taken with me so far. I look forward to working with you!"
"Don thank you and God bless! I am so grateful for you and your generosity of spirit. I have been journaling in my leather bound journal since I got home. I found a quote I thought was powerful, 'Visioning means letting yourself be shown by the Wise Ones on an expanded picture of where you are now.' I am so excited to work with the tools that you have generously shared with love. The inner counselor and I are destined for a long chat! You are a light for me, thank you!"
"Thanks for taking the time to talk with me yesterday and putting together these detailed notes. I really appreciate it. It helps more than you can imagine. I got a lot out of our session and have already started taking action. I am going to continue working on the homework assignments, put a timeline on them, keeping you updated and having them completed before our next session (if not way before)!"
"From a client’s wife – My husband’s back went out yesterday morning. The same spot as where he had the SURGERY last year. I am devastated. We don’t know what this means and can’t even get into anyone because of the holiday weekend. I have been in tears all morning and he just said to me gently, 'Accept.' He’s handling this much better than I am. I also saw a book he’s reading that must have been a recommendation from. Something about life’s meaning … You are providing HOPE in this house. So thank you."
"From a wife about her husband – He wanted to go to church this morning to work on connecting more with our daughter. You’re a MAGICIAN!!"
"Thank you for today and talking through things. Even though I’m physically exhausted now, I think it was a good start. I appreciate what you are doing and your willingness to fight through this and push me."
"Don – Thank you for the response and feedback. I am ready for Giant Steps and Massive Action Plan. Push me hard in 2022!"
"I really appreciate the time you took to write this all out for me. I have made the decision to abandon my old way of living and am taking strides each day to set aside 30 minutes at a time of uninterrupted time. It really has to be a regular process or time will just be lost. I cherish this season so much and want to be present as much as possible. Thank you for your encouragement! I look forward to next week!"
"Thanks again for your time, patience, and guidance! Extremely helpful! The comments regarding my 'thoughts,' and perspective were very insightful. Your positioning was very helpful, and the most poignant aspect of our call!!!! This was a very meaningful inflection point. Although this 'advice' is what I have been giving others for years, seems like the 'shoemaker’s shoes' syndrome. Your positioning, and ways to look at the issue are ever so impactful!"
"Don has been my coach, and friend, for the past year and I cannot recommend him or his work highly enough. He and I have been working on a number of items, most notably managing my stress. That has changed the outcome on closing deals, finishing software projects, improving my family relationships and managing cash flow. The latter being the most stressful thing I have been dealing with over the past several years and the cause of many an argument."
"I’m really excited about this, and today was extremely powerful. I’m ordering your book tonight. Thank you again Don."
"Thanks! My wife and I listened together…..all is great! My ‘wobble’ is getting better every day my friend!"
"Need to generate cash- and thanks to YOU- I am in motion, big time."
"Thanks, Don. I feel a real change – the concepts are becoming more natural to me and a part of life. Couldn’t come at a better time with the challenges I have in front of me. Looking forward to diving deeper in our next session."
"I feel a sense of relief, knowing help is around the corner! I am starting to re-think absolutely everything and am happy to have you to help me through the process."
"Thanks Don! As always, it was awesome speaking with you. God has put you in my life for a reason and that is better my relationship with Him and to live life more fully…freely…and with less 'to-do.'"
"Thanks for our session yesterday. You are awesome and inspiring me"
"I appreciate everything you do for me and treasure our friendship!!!"
"It was a great session. Thank you for all you have done for me. I am excited about the future."
"This morning, while re-reading some notes in developing a morning process, I found myself in a place of peace and appreciation of working with you and where things are headed. I am committed to doing the work, for the benefit of myself and others."
"Our discussions have given me a path and tools that have helped me see and discuss where I am with this 'onion' I’m working to peal. So thank you Don. I am incredibly grateful. You have helped me immensely."
"I’m feeling pretty good. I know that this will address my biggest fear in life. I appreciate all of your help. Once this is done, it’s a clear runway. Yes there is smaller debris on the runway but it’s not going to prevent me from taking off. This will clear it for me. I know it will."
"Background - This is from a client who completed an Authentic Happiness Assessment when we began and again just now. Five months ago, he was 2.71. (1 to 5 scale) Today, he is 4.63. That is going from 64% happy to 93% in 5 months!
From the client - You’re right, we are going to be together until they put one of us in a box…and still after. I am so very excited to catch up over zoom next week. Until then I will be savoring every moment and continuing to have the best life experience moment by moment."
"I’m good despite all the challenges this past year has presented. I’m still taking time in the mornings to write, pray and meditate and that’s been a lifesaver. Always keeps things in perspective. Of course, I’m work in progress so there’s always more I think about, but I don’t feel as stressed or worried about it as I know I’m prioritizing what I need today, and the rest will come in due time. I hope you are well and knowing you, I’m sure you are finding joy in the little things."
"I want to thank you for all your direction and guidance over the past several months. I’m very pleased and excited with the progress I have made through our work. I have reached the point where I am approaching the challenges at work (and at home) with a very different mindset from when we started. I appreciate your time and diligence in getting me to this point where I am better able to tackle both the normal and extraordinary curveballs I face without judgment or angst."
"Thank you so much for yesterday, and everything today. The last part of your message hits home hard. I don’t have the words right now but thank you Don. I really mean it."
"Just a note to say thank you. Loyalty to Your Soul was groundbreaking for me. Thank you for giving me love. It was so needed."
"Thank you. I feel like I’ve jumped over another big hurdle and turned it up even more. I appreciate you Don."
"Don has been working with (our company) and its leadership team to provide coaching and personal development, including myself. I have found working with Don an invaluable experience. I would like for you to speak with him as soon as you can as there is a Group Coaching Program I would love for you to attend."
"I was excited to get this small win after sending the email you and I talked about last week. Thank you for preparing me for this conversation and helping me frame it in more of a discovery session as opposed to a presentation. Already I feel so much weight lifted in terms of what I have to bring to the meeting."
"Well, I found out the meeting was with you because he called me to let me know and he offered to come with me tomorrow to see XXXX. I could not have been more pleasantly surprised and happy. My heart and my head are Both gushing with love, joy, and pride. It was great that YYYY offered to come with me. Just thought you should know. Thanks."
"I am still a work in progress, but the skills I’ve learned from you have been a game changer for sure."
"My work with Don has been life changing! I look forward to sharing more of my experience."
"I will say I feel I am handling this pretty well, others would agree. Really kept calm and professional. Others not so much. Don Scott training paid off. I mean that."
"This conversation would have gone much differently 9 months ago. It was the perception and fear I had. I let this hold me back. I didn’t want to hear I was a disappointment. I thought I’d need something 3D to show them, tangible money, a list of clients, a giant office – something for them to not worry. But they see the changes and see me being happy. That was the next biggest boulder I’ve been carrying around.
Thank you in advance for your brilliant idea, I can’t wait to hear it. I’m really excited to catch up and for our coaching session. It was a special last week. Man I’m so so excited. I can’t wait to see you Wednesday at your place."
"Don – Thank you for resharing this section of the book. I believe I read this before but slowly reflecting on the text one more time was helpful. Be the change is defining. I believe that I cast judgment on others directly or subtly very often. This judgment is harmful to me. I am trying to be more aware of my propensity to judge, critique and complain. These actions and conversations are holding me and the firm back. I will focus on being more aware of these internal and external conversations. Be the change! Thanks for your leadership and guidance of my development."
"Thanks for the words of encouragement! I am halfway through 'In Love With the World' and I can say it’s a pretty darn good book! I can relate to many different situations and life lessons that he speaks about throughout the journey. There is a lot of information to process and think about in this book! I have thought a lot about how to apply these principles to my life.
I think helping me get my 'Monkey Mind' in check more often will be a big start for me to promote change and progress. I have been working on letting the thoughts pass through and not get stuck and dwell. I’ve noticed a difference already and I like it!"
"As you can imagine, activity has slowed considerably, but as a firm we are adopting the mantra that 'I refuse to participate in an economic slowdown!'”
"Thanks for working with me today Don. It was very helpful. Even if it didn’t seem like you were getting through, you were, and I appreciate it. Look forward to our next session."
"In my awareness today, I notice I am actually excited about the things I get to do today, which is a massive shift from the usual DREAD I was carrying for all that 'needed' to get done before. Thank you."
"Today was a really good day, thank you."
"Wow, this pre-work has been incredible."
"Happy Thanksgiving Don, I’m extremely grateful, and thankful for you."
"I am definitely feeling like a different person. Working on shifting more and more to new (Me) each day."
"Don – Great to compare the notes. Truly appreciate you and your work with me. THANK YOU."
"No problem. (My brother) needs to find some inner peace. I am loving life my friend!"
"I just wanted to share with you that out of all the things I learned from our time together the one thing that sticks out. I keep it alive in my heart is when I come home from whatever it is I’m doing . The idea or mindset that I’m simply coming home to join (my wife), nothing else, and it makes a huge difference in how things have played out."
After coaching on his golf game, my text to client - "Don’t forget 'I have a great swing. I am the best range player on the course.'"
Client’s response – "All over it. Improved each round after my session with you."
"Don – Thank you for the conversation this week. I am very grateful to be working and learning from you. I have read the attached and am ready to take Acceptance to the next level. Please feed me coach!"
"I’m closing later this week! Thanks so much for all your help! You were pivotal in helping me move towards this decision."
"Awesome session yesterday, thank you so much again Don! I appreciate you sending the links and templates. Have a blessed day."
"Please reach out to Don Scott. He’s a great guy and someone you want to get to know. His coaching work is phenomenal."
"I love this! And I really enjoyed our session. It was great to get to know you and I appreciate all you’ve done for me and look forward to continuing to watch the peaceful me evolve. It’s working! I would love to take you up on a 2nd session and go deeper. Thanks so much!"
"You’ll be glad to hear my new mantra you suggested about 'Old Me' vs 'New Me' has already kicked in. I am catching myself a lot in negative thinking, stopping, and saying, 'Old Me used to think like that. New Me doesn’t. New Me knows.'"
"Thanks for taking the time to have a full-blown coaching session with me yesterday, rather than just 'meeting for coffee.' I feel like we drilled down into some fundamental territory, and I am encouraged in the work that I will be doing to fill my holes and to love myself."
"I had an amazing exchange with my wife last night. For the first time in a long time, I had compassion for her. When I gave her my speech… finished by telling her I’d be working on my Self. And, that apparently I had a lot of work to do in that regard. She looked at me in my eyes and simply said 'So do I.' At that moment, I was overcome with love and compassion. I felt it finally buddy. Thank you! She’s hurting also. I saw her clearly for the first time in a long time. The anger went away completely."
"It took courage and seeing things clearly … what I really want, and why I want it. What day-to-day life is really about…. Those make bravery the only way to step into the world. Don, you are my Yoda … OK, waaaay taller than Yoda! I often think back to our phone call in July when I said 'yes' to you and the journey. I was scared but I knew I needed BIG intervention, and big commitment. A go big or go home decision. Yay!'
"I was just thinking about you the other day. All is well here. Work is going well – it is real, we are working on our second investment and I’m working on my second fund. I’m also now a published author as I agreed to write a monthly column, an 8 part series for a publication. On the personal side, we are doing well, enjoying our new reality and thankful for it. The key lessons of what we have worked with always go through my head. I intend to keep it that way!"
"I am truly excited! Thank you for all of this! Very helpful and not my strong suit."
"Thank you for a great session. I appreciate your insight and guidance. I deeply value our friendship."
"Yesterday’s session was very good. I was able to really grasp several concepts and ended up with some great takeaways to work with."
"Thank you Don. My heart feels a bit lighter!"
"I enjoyed our conversation. You are clearly gifted in your work!"
"Thanks for caring about my brother!"
"I think Don has one of the most thought-provoking approaches to coaching I have ever encountered. He’s a former Partner with a Big Four accounting firm and was a very successful Private Wealth Manager with Atlantic Trust!!!"
"I was literally ordering a drink in celebration when I got a last minute call. The funder had decided not to do our deal. It hit me hard at first, but I handled it like a champ. At that very moment, I was thinking about you, Don, and our work. Now, just what do I need to do next? Onward and upward!!!"
"Love it. This has helped me hugely – prioritize beyond 'High, Medium and Low.' I started my morning process today – included meditation and did a bit of 'work.' It cleared my mind like never before on a Monday. Will continue this week. Also – I read Chapter 15 – now I know what you mean by 'Working my Process.' It is now clear."
"I love you Don! Had a really good call with (that woman) and it sounds like she wants to go forward and working another lead. I feel like a million bucks. Thank you."
"The meeting went very well! Thanks for your help! The timing of our coaching session this morning could not have been better! Plus the videos really helped too."
"I listened to the whole thing. I cried, I prayed, I affirmed a whole bunch of great stuff. I spoke and pictured how deeply strong I am and have always been. Onward and upward from here. Thank you."
"Thanks to you, coach, for making me aware of it. I feel great about myself."
"You bet I will. I loved our session yesterday. Thank you SO much! Thank you again, my friend."
"Awesome session today!!!! Thank you!!!!!"
"Set your clear and powerful intentions this morning! A step ahead of you Coach!"
"I’m so very thankful for all the help you were to my brother-in-law and his family."
"Good morning Don. Feeling excited about the day. Looking forward to our Zoom meeting."
"CEO to Sales Manager – I am introducing you to Don Scott, our leadership coach, by way of this email. I hope the two of you can connect in the next few weeks to have an introductory session. He’ll help you grow – he’s done wonders for me.
Secured $4 million commitment today. Milestone number one complete my friend. I had no major high, no major low, it just was. First time in my 25 year career fundraising where I was just good focused and neutral. Thank you for that my friend."
"Thanks so much for the follow up Don. In a word, I am doing GREAT! I have re-read and reminded myself of the notes and your counsel, and am grateful. I am extremely positive and optimistic. I am energized and excited about the possibilities. Objective progress??? Take a look at my signature block, it’s been re-branded, so has my LinkedIn and my Website, both of which are in transition. And so has my attitude and my self-perception. So thank you. Thank you very much."
"It is so great to hear from you and thank you SO much for making the trip out to our university. I was seated next to a few students who were really getting a lot out of it (just like I did). I really enjoyed our conversation and I do feel that it changed my life for the better. I’ve been using my time more valuably and that has led me to being much more happy. Thanks again Don, I really appreciate you and your wisdom, and know that our scholars did as well."
"Thank you so much for our conversation today! I am even more committed to creating a full, rich and juicy life for my wife and myself."
"Great questions. I had a vibrant, enlightening, inspiring time with you yesterday and my head is spinning for sure."
"OK, let’s do it. I need you to help me find a way to raise the bar beyond anything I’ve ever thought possible. I’m ready to be coached."
"Our conversations have been transformational for me. Things are in great shape all around for the family and the businesses. Not sweating the small stuff and taking advantage of TIME in a more meaningful way."
"Thank you SO much for the meeting today. Seriously lifechanging. I’m super excited to refine my vision and manifest it. The amazing amount of knowledge and experience you have will certainly be very highly valued in our university community."
"Clarity and commitment. I am thinking of a list of about 20 middle-market clients that have grown to a certain point and gotten stuck. They don’t know what to do next. There is not a single one of them who doesn’t need what you do!"
"Thank you so much for being the awesome connector and inspirer you are!!"
"Great session today, I think we are really making some meaningful progress. So much to do!"
"Thanks Don! You have no idea how encouraging our conversations are for me….much appreciated!"
"That new outlook is such a massive shift and improvement in my life. I can finally make decisions without the constant stomach ache of worrying about self-worth."
"I really want to let you know how much I appreciate everything you have done for me. As my coach, I appreciate how dedicated you have been to my success and happiness in the future."
"Thanks Don. I did have a great night and good finish to the day yesterday. Thank you very much for pursuing this with me. It means more than you can imagine!"
"I really enjoyed our time together and conversation. I have read through the materials you sent me, and what I came away with is powerful and thought-provoking."
"Finally had time to read your missive below! So sorry so slow! This said – we so enjoyed having you here too. Truly a gift. Looking forward to our call on Thursday."
"Just had the conversation with XXXX. It went really well. I feel 100% better. Thank you for the help. Proud of myself for facing my fears of talking with him."
"I enjoyed our session, and it was incredibly valuable for me. I’ve shared it with a couple of people as well. In fact, even before I got this email, the last two mornings I have had a morning session clearly on my mind and while I’m not doing anything extensively, I am doing something. So, thank you very, very much. I really appreciate your friendship and everything that we discussed. It all made a very big impact on me."
"I really appreciate your time and help yesterday. It certainly was a very productive and thought provoking session. The timing couldn’t have been better, and it will help me think through my plan going forward. Thank you!"
"Don coached me for approximately one year and I had many personal breakthroughs. I highly recommend him for any of your clients. He is a professional with the experience in business to understand what your clients are going through. He has a great deal of compassion and empathy to understand their concerns and then help create a plan consistent with their desires."
"Thank you for your support. I am truly blessed to have you as a friend. I read your memo to me and have reviewed my homework. I will do the work and share my outcomes! Thank you!"
"I have had some big breakthroughs since our last session. I have been working on conditioning myself to not feel like it’s my responsibility to take care of everyone. It has been helping me love myself a lot more."
"I am so thankful for you and your friendship! I spoke with my son last night and he assures me that he will call you. Thank you so much!"
"Can we connect on Tuesday or Wednesday? I’m very excited to work with you!"
"Thank you for one of the best one hour meetings I have had in a long time! Have an awesome rest of your day."
"I am grateful for your help. Today was very beneficial to me."
"Our paths crossing was an invaluable gift from God. I see now that God wanted me to see my own reaction to the 'intention' statement that you crystallized for me. By tearing up when I heard it, I realized this intention statement is something my soul really wants to happen. It is a truth for me. Up until our conversation, I had been dancing around this topic and not crystallizing my intention. What an incredible step forward! You changed my life; more specifically, you enriched my soul’s experience in life (in a material way) by telling my soul it is okay to want this. You made me realize where he may be coming from is just 50% of the situation. The other 50% is where I am coming from. And by talking about it, he and I can find middle ground. You are sooooo incredibly talented. I know who I will hire when I want to operate at the next level in life."
