Testimonials on Tom Volkar's ability as a life and
business coach
Tom's approach is at once practical
and magical. Tom came into my work life at a supreme moment, a time when a
radical sensation was required to lift me where I desired to be with my
writing career. The result is this: I'm more authentically me and it
shows--in my writing and the rest of my life. If you want to get really real
with yourself and live/work with greater purpose, I recommend Tom. Give him
a coaching opportunity, and he'll make you feel immensely powerful.

I hired Tom Volkar as my coach to help me gain confidence to start my own
business. Tom got me into action quickly so that I began enjoying the actual
process of business building. I'm excited now because I know I can succeed.
If you want a coach who will INSPIRE YOU TO BECOME THE PERSON YOU WANT TO
BE, hire tom; you'll be more than pleased!

Ray, independent business owner.
Tom Volkar has been instrumental as a coach in helping me begin my new
business venture in the field of Fee-Only Financial Planning. He immediately
saw that the business was for me. Tom has a keen ability to "go deep" along
with you to determine what it is that is truly authentic for you. He knows
that life is too short and there is no reason to keep on faking it
(pretending to like something day-in and day-out that you really don't
enjoy). He believes that you should do what is natural and authentic … and
the joys and rewards will follow. Everyone needs a coach today at some time
in his or her life and there is no better person than Tom. I highly
recommend that you explore the opportunities of having Tom work along with
you as your personal coach.

Tom Volkar is unique. I originally called him to gain some support and
structure for a project that was bogging down badly, expecting a time
management approach. Instead he took me on a journey of self-discovery into
old personality patterns that had robbed me of energy for years. With
gentleness, humor and total support he helped me "walk my talk" in a way I
never had been able to attain. His enormous gift is in not directing or
telling one what to do, how to change, what is missing, but in skillfully
guiding one into one "aha" after another. My original plan was to work with
him a month and "get organized." Eight months later I am still his client
because working with him is such a helpful journey. In my enthusiasm I have
given my husband several months coaching as a birthday present, and then
gave my son the same present. Because of multi talents and a lot of wisdom,
he has helped them both with totally different challenges. His base is one
of authentic spirituality; his service is helping his clients toward being
all they were meant to be.

Thank you once again for your expertise in coaching. Your knowledge of
business was very helpful. I have implemented many of the organizational
tools you shared with me. When we finished, my office files were more
organized and indexed that they had ever been. Now I always know where
things are and I am more productive because of it. I especially appreciated
your guidance and your patience in helping me discover my areas of
resistance. I thought it was very effective the way you guided me to work
out my own solutions, like the "dig a little deeper" conversations. Best of
all, you were so affirming. Whatever I did, you found an affirmation in it
and that just made me want to do more! Thank you so much, Tom, for your
continued support. I really appreciate your gifts and that your life's work
is to share them.
—J.S.
Financial Controller.
Tom has helped me to begin a journey where I am beginning to know the man I
am, understand why I feel the feelings I feel, and will become the person I
want to be in body, mind, and spirit. As Tom says, we "walk the brave walk,"
and we do it together. Each and every step is a step that we choose to make
together. With the continual and unconditional support of my Coach, I live
life with greater confidence, better understanding, and a clearer
perspective.

Gigliotti, self-employed business owner.
Good two-way communication. The old saying "two heads are better than one"
certainly applies big time here. My apartment was overwhelmingly cluttered
and in a complete state of disorder before you became my coach. Although it
hasn't been easy, I'm sure I would not have gotten anywhere at all if I did
not have you to guide and inspire me. Coaching is obviously not just a job
with you. Your enthusiasm for what you do is one of the things, which serves
to inspire. I know you are genuinely happy when you hear of my successes,
and your heart-felt encouragement is always given when you hear of my
difficulties. I would highly recommend you as a coach, so please feel free
to forward this message to any potential clients.

Tom Volkar of CoreU has been working with our Plant Manager for the past six
months.
We were so impressed with the positive changes that occurred with him that
we decided to have Tom train our supervisors and have our plant manager
coach them using the techniques Tom taught. We've all seen positive changes
in how our supervisory staff works together and how they interact with our
hourly workforce. We found Tom's approach to be highly effective and
affordable since much of his work was done over the telephone and by way of
email.
Based on our positive results I would highly recommend Tom as a coach and
management trainer.

Tom has shown me the possibilities of my own strengths and the validity of
my character. He doesn't tell me what to do. He makes me think, decide, and
commit. I started my own company and things are going much better than I
would have anticipated at this time. I give Tom much credit for helping me
focus and prioritize; but, more importantly, he allows me to have control
over my life.

Your Authentic Business Building workshop on was outstanding! You packed
your program with value, providing a smorgasbord of life-changing insights.
Perhaps what was most impressive was how you walked your talk. You spoke
from the heart and used personal examples that helped you connect with your
listeners and bring your ideas to life. You were a living, breathing example
of someone who is building a business from authenticity.

Thank you for making our sales meeting a roaring success. The day after the
meeting I had sales people in my office in tears, pouring out emotion and
renewing their commitment to West Point. I've been barraged with letters
saying things like, best sales meeting ever, finally something we can take
home and use. The morale boost has spread throughout the entire company.
