Testimonials

…very effective and invaluable for me…

What sets Ed apart is his remarkable ability to deliver candid feedback in a way that felt both supportive and actionable. His valuable insights on communicating with brevity was very effective and invaluable for me. Ed’s approach to career coaching is refreshingly practical and deeply personalized. Rather than offering generic leadership advice, he took the time to truly understand my specific challenges, personal strengths, and my organizational experience.

For any leader navigating career transitions or seeking to enhance their executive presence, I cannot recommend Ed Evarts highly enough!

…profoundly impacted my professional growth…

I had the privilege of working with Ed in my current and previous roles, as he was my coach twice.  I am highly grateful for his guidance and support. Ed’s advice on managing my strengths and addressing my weaknesses has improved my self-perception and how I am viewed within our organization. Over several weeks, we gathered feedback from multiple stakeholders and developed a Leadership Style and Development Plan. This plan focused on adapting my leadership style while staying true to my strengths and outlined achievable practices. Ed’s coaching has profoundly impacted my professional growth, including valuable guidance that has helped me advance my career. I highly recommend Ed’s expertise to anyone looking to enhance their personal and professional development.

“…Ed’s experience and conceptual knowledge of leadership principles are superlative…”

I recently received leadership feedback from my boss, peers, and direct reports on how they experience me in the workplace. Through Ed’s guidance and experience with the assessment tool, I was able to digest this information and create an action plan to help me grow my effectiveness as a leader. This experience is helping me evolve my leadership style along in ways that help me, my team, and my organization. Ed’s experience and conceptual knowledge of leadership principles are superlative, and I learn something new every time we meet.

“…The experience was incredibly transformative for me…”

I had the privilege and opportunity to work with Ed over the last year as he served as my coach as part of a leadership development program. Ed consistently challenged me to be confident, trust myself and to believe that I could make important formative changes that would benefit all I serve. Ed was patient, supportive and always encouraged me to strive to make a difference in my work. He helped me discern the importance of balance in my work and assisted me in becoming more aware of how vulnerability and gratitude play a critical role in leadership. The experience was incredibly transformative for me, personally, spiritually and professionally! I’m grateful for Ed’s care, wisdom and constant support throughout the journey this past. Thank you Ed!

“…Ed was diligent in providing insightful and direct observations…”

I had the privilege to work with Ed Evarts over the course of several months. During that time, Ed helped me work through some strategic decisions regarding my business. When I first came to Ed, I was seeking the voice of a seasoned coach, someone that could highlight key factors driving important decisions. To that end, Ed quickly guided me through some clear exercises which helped me identify salient issues, while cancelling out the noise.

…Ed’s perceptive and razor sharp insights….

I have worked with Ed Evarts over the last year; honing my leadership skills, creating a vision for my team and identifying specific goals that will contribute to the success of Boston College. This year has been filled with personal growth and awareness which would not have been achieved without Ed’s perceptive and razor sharp insights. I have benefited by having his expertise to keep me accountable in a warm and encouraging manner. These positive and active changes were made gradually and when reflecting on the year, I can see how much my leadership style, communication and decision making has benefited and would highly recommend Ed!
