Testimonials

…I would highly recommend him to any leader or organization…

I had the opportunity to work with Ed Evarts in sessions with both my fellow senior leaders and my team at CommonWealth Purchasing Group, and each experience had a meaningful impact on how we understand ourselves and work together. Through his facilitation using the Type Coach personality assessment, I gained greater clarity about my own communication style, decision-making tendencies, and how my natural approach can influence others. That self-awareness has helped me become more intentional in how I lead, listen, and collaborate with my team.

…a thoughtful and steady guide...

When I began my leadership coaching journey with Ed, I didn’t know what to expect. However, Ed made the process seamless, insightful, and truly valuable. Ed was a thoughtful and steady guide. He came into my professional life at the right moment; helped me remain calm amidst potential chaos; reflect on what’s possible, and engage in important conversations I might not have initiated without his support.

Ed helped me focus on what I could control and take meaningful steps to create change. Most importantly, he helped me find effective ways to communicate with my seniors —something that made a real difference. Thanks Ed for being there for me and grounding me. I will fondly remember Ed’s impact on my professional leadership journey for years to come.

…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!
