“I'm only getting started with Kerry, but I can tell he's the Coach for me. His positive energy is contagious, and his experiences will be invaluable to my journey. He is very personable and does an excellent job of steering me in the right direction. He also lays out an actionable plan and does a great job of helping me visualize the future life I want to live and already creating a belief within myself that the future life is already completed, and I just need to act and make the daily decisions that will get me there.”
