Success Story 632
Denise Houseberg, a client
of The Coach Connection (TCC) and President of MarketExpo.com
an online storefront for home and garden manufacturers, received
a special
national acknowledgement from OPEN from American Express and Count
Me In for Women’s Economic Independence as the
first Make Mine a $Million Business Program Awardee to surpass $1
million in revenues, on December 6, 2005. Denise of Frisco,
Texas was a Make Mine a $million Business award recipient at the
Dallas conference in April 2005.
Read what Denise wrote about her coaching experiences with TCC.
Hi Tarsha,
I highly recommend Bill Dueease and his excellent Coach Connection.
I was able to interview three coaches to see who was the best fit
for me and my business. I could have interviewed more if I didn't
like the first three. However, I settled on the one that was high-spirited
and demanding because that's what I wanted in a coach. It worked
out quite well for me.
I broke some old patterns and ways of doing things that consistently
presented the outcome that I did not want to happen. I started a
new invention and grew one of my two companies to million dollar
revenues while dissolving the other. (Too many ideas going at once
dilute your efforts at the thing you want to do most.) I did not
look at coaching as long term as I just needed a nudge to get going
on a new idea, organize myself better, launch a new product, and
get my team together and that meant cleaning out 90% of the team
and starting a new one which I now adore.
My coach presented me with tasks and exercises that I had to complete
each week. It proved to be challenging running two businesses and
getting my homework done but it all worked out in the end.
It was well worth the time and money spent and I would do it again
in any instance where I needed more mentoring and support to get
over a hump.
I guess what I'm saying is you can't go wrong with the Coach Connection
because even if you don't like it you can get your money back. It
worked for me and I don't have one thing bad to say about their
service.
I'm still in touch with my coach today as a mentor and colleague.
Good luck,
Denise Houseberg

Denise has graciously encouraged TCC to inform
others of the roll her TCC coaching played in assisting her to turn
her business and life around to achieve such remarkable goals.
Gena is a 57-year-old young lady
who found herself alone, and lost when her soul mate husband suddenly
died in late 2005. Her children were grown, had started their own
families and had moved to other states. Depression showed up. She
found herself “struggling with where I was and what I wanted
to do.” She chose to “set a course for my new life towards
the success picture in my head, without depression or feeling bitter.”
She called TCC for an appointment because “TCC focused only
on me the client and not outside stuff.” She further explains:
“I thought being able to experience actual coaching sessions
with three hand picked prescreened life coaches was fantastic”
And “ I found my dream coach. We clicked so well, I thought
she had known me all of my life.”
“My life coach looked at me as a real person” Gena further
reports: “She allowed and encouraged me to look inside myself
for the first time in my life, without guilt and with total focus
and clarity. As a baby boomer I had always focused on what others
wanted, but never on what I wanted. I discovered that my true passion
was to create costumes for early American life periods.” And
more importantly she explains, “My coach awakened me to discover
the practical and realistic steps to actually turn my dream as a
designer and producer of period costumes, into reality, based on
ME! Gena encouraged TCC to publish her story, so her fellow baby
boomers will learn about the life coaching process that “we
did not have available to us in our lifetime.”
Success Story 468
One 47 year old mother of three children watched as her youngest
daughter began high school. She suddenly found herself with much
more time on her hands and feeling less needed, because her kids
were busy with their own lives. She felt an unusual sense of emptiness.
She began losing interest in things because her full time career
as a mother appeared to be winding down. Her husband was happy in
his career, and her kids were thriving; yet she felt lost.
She recognized that she needed to pursue another career that did
not compete with her part time motherhood, and would provide the
sense of purpose and accomplishment she had realized as a full time
mother. Yet, she had been out of the work force for over 21 years.
She was very confused about where to start, what she should do,
and whether she should return to school.
She engaged a TCC career coach to assist her. Her coached focused
entirely on her and it felt real good, as it was the first time
she was the true center of attention in years. Together, she and
her coach discovered her true passions, priorities, values and talents.
With coaching, she realized that she had a wealth of very valuable
talents and experience that she had developed throughout her motherhood
career. She recognized her passion for creating presentations, which
she had honed while helping her kids create science fair and inventors
projects over the years.
She started a presentation company that specialized in providing
scientific, technical and engineering type presentations for companies,
groups and such. She hit the ground running and was soon able to
pick and choose the projects she wanted, because of her popular
successes.
Success Story 152
One 42-year-old unemployed young man had been bouncing from low
level job to job, and felt he was at a wits end. He was constantly
disorganized, and frequently distracted. He would frequently forget
things, but he could easily tackle very complicated computer-networking
problems. Keeping a steady job was a struggle, even though everywhere
he went he was considered brilliant, and he performed wonders. The
constant job uncertainty and apparent forgetfulness to complete
even simple household tasks put a real strain on his marriage.
He engaged his ideal TCC Member Coach to assist him to get a steady
position that fit his passions, desires, and priorities, and that
would allow him to prosper. Immediately, his coach assisted him
to discover that he had ADD characteristics. His TCC coach assisted
him to recognize the true blessings he was given with ADD, and how
to overcome the drawbacks associated with ADD. They devised new
behavior practices to overcome his forgetfulness, his unwanted distractions,
and his frustrations at communicating with others who were not thinking
as quick as he did. He learned to control his focus and to reap
the desired benefits from his special talents. He also learned to
become more patient and understanding when communicating with non-ADD
people. This has helped him greatly improve his marriage.
He used his newly discovered ADD talents and his greater control
over his life to land the position of his dreams. He returned to
developing leading edge software and is not only being handsomely
paid for it, but has regained the respect and admiration of his
industry for the work he does. His life has become so prosperous
and enjoyable that he now pinches himself every now and then to
be sure it is not a dream.
Carroll was a 32-year-old first time mother who found herself with
conflicting priorities. Her family life, which she loves, now needed
more time and energy because the arrival of her son. Her work was
also demanding more time and effort because downsizing gave her
more to do. Work had become drudgery and she was loosing confidence,
because she had not been able to deliver on all of the things demanded
of her at work. She was missing deadlines. In the past, she took
work home for nights and weekends to catch up. Not now. This led
to disappointment in herself. She had begun focusing on what was
wrong, and was loosing confidence. She felt increasing internal
stress because of her conflicts between being a first time mother
and being in control at work, along with her guilt of not performing
well to suit her at either roll. She had been trying to meet every
one else’s demands and expectations at her expense.
She engaged TCC to provide her ideal coach to assist her to find
and establish a happy balance between family and work to reduce
conflict and stress and to restore her confidence. Through the coaching
discovery process she realized her true priorities and boundaries,
and how she had become so stressed because she allowed others to
cross her boundaries and override her own desires and priorities.
Once she clarified her limits and her priorities, she and her coach
set the conditions to allow her to enjoy both her work and her new
motherhood, with virtually no internal stress or guilt. She approached
her boss (a woman) and explained her new situation and to her surprise
was met with relief and understanding. Her boss had noticed that
she had been under tremendous stress during the last stages of pregnancy
and after returning from delivery, and had seen her work production
and accuracy diminish as she kept trying to do everything. Her boss
discussed the most important work results that she wanted to gain
from Carroll and they organized her work schedule to maximize her
work production to suit her boss and to suit Carroll’s new
conditions as a mother. To Carroll’s surprise both she and
her boss were thrilled at the new arrangement. All because Carroll
attained clarity about her priorities and boundaries and was able
to express them with confidence.
Success Story 87
One 45 year old business owner had just finished a long painful
divorce and discovered that his once thriving business was heavily
in debt and barely hanging on. He had succeeded in gaining custody
of his two children, but he suffered emotionally and financially
to do so. He recognized he needed help to move his life forward,
and engaged his ideal TCC business coach to revive his business
to reduce the burden of his heavy debt. He and his TCC partner coach
focused on improving the profits of his business without interfering
with his ability to spend the time and effort to raise his two children
that he had fought so hard to keep.
Seven months later he had his business running so smoothly and profitably
that he had was able to reduce his debt by 53% and had enough time
to take his first ten day vacation with his children in seven years.
He and his TCC coach then focused on starting another business in
real estate and immediately reaped addition profits.
After regaining his successes in business and spending the time
and energy to establish a strong loving relationship with his kids,
he realized that he wanted to find the right lady to share his life
with. But, he had not dated in over 21 years and was out of touch
and very apprehensive. He and his TCC coach made this his new coachable
objective. In only two months he had already met many very remarkable
ladies and is now enjoying the process. His two businesses are thriving,
he and his two children are having a ball and he is on the road
to finding the right lady to complete his life.
One 35 year old young lady had drifted
into the financial industry and became successful as a stockbroker.
Yet, she found that she was becoming more frustrated and unhappier
each day and felt almost imprisoned in her job, even though outwardly
she appeared to be successful. Then her husband was transferred
to another city and she took this move as the opening to engage
her TCC career coach to finally discover what she really wanted
to do.
With her TCC partner coach she was able to see what her true passions,
desires and priorities, values and talents were for the first time.
She became the “Worlds Leading Expert on Her.” What she
discovered was remarkable and very exciting. She discovered that
she had a natural talent and passion to design kitchens, even though
she had only done so in private for just a short while. Yet, she
landed a position as a senior kitchen designer with the most reputable
firm in her new city, after only four months with her ideal TCC
career coach.
One 39 year old professor from England had landed a professorship
in a major US University, because of his excellent reputation as
a lecturer. However, he soon discovered that he was placed in charge
of a project team to carry out research for a US Government grant.
He had not expected nor had he wanted to manage others, especially
graduate and undergraduate students, and he began to fail miserably
in the project. Not only did his management style (or lack of it)
repulse the students from joining his team, but also he couldn’t
get along with the few team members who stayed.
He recognized that his job and reputation (everything to professors)
depended upon his ability to produce research to meet the demand.
He engaged a TCC leadership coach to assist him to become a better
manager to successfully attract and lead his project team to produce
quality research results.
In only five months, he grew into such an exceptional manager, that
he not only created a very successful project team for his initial
research but, the University asked him to take on another project
because of high student enthusiasm for working with him. He and
his coach found a natural way to improve as a manager by just extending
of his love of teaching. This process allowed both he and his team
members to thrive.
Once he realized how coaching would unleash his power to achieve
remarkable objectives, he then turned to his coach to find a desirable
lady life partner. This appeared to be a very huge obstacle, because
of his British reserve, his lack of confidence, and his being in
unfamiliar social territory. He and his coach focused on unleashing
his natural good humor, love of the arts and his culinary enthusiasm
and before he knew it, he became a very desirable bachelor.
Success Story 49
One 47 year old lady executive was put in charge of an under performing
department of a large corporation and inherited a group of disgruntled
employees. She knew that the employees had to be brought together
to work as a team to increase the department success, but was unsure
how she was going to be the person to lead them. She also knew that
she was being watched, not only by the skeptical employees, but
also by upper management, and she could count on little, if any,
support from elsewhere in the company.
She engaged her ideal executive coach from The Coach Connection.
She and her coach worked as a partnership to uncover her own leadership
capabilities and focused on the real goals at hand. She and her
coach unleashed her energy and exceptional insight into people to
develop her own special way to turn the department around. She focused
first on connecting with each of the employees. She discovered how
to encourage the employees to take ownership in solutions.
She constantly used her leadership coach as her
secret weapon to overcome her own self imposed obstacles
that had prevented previous successes, so that she had the confidence
and insight to bring here team together in a very short time. After
only 9 months the department was purring along so well, that she
asked upper management "what's next?" Their answer was
to offer her several promotion opportunities.
Success Story 119
One 28 year old young lady felt that her life
was out of control. She was down on herself, because she was overweight
and she felt like a blob. In addition, she worked as an assistant
to a “toxic boss” who created “job hell” for
her. Being single, without a boyfriend, and living in a strange
city further compounded her despair.
She engaged a TCC life coach to assist her to lose weight and to
discover and get her ideal income position. In only 5 months with
her coach she lost 23 pounds to reach her desired weight. She also
discovered that she wanted to pursue a new career in sales of products
that helped people improve their lives and that allowed her to travel.
Within another month she landed a sales position with a very reputable
firm in selling herbal products in an established territory.
She not only made more money than before, but she got to travel
to parts of the country she had always wanted to visit. Her energy
levels rose, her frustrations and tension levels almost disappeared
and she even returned to the social circles she had missed.
Success Story 346
One 31 year old young man had been promoted into management as a
project manager with an IT company. He was chosen because he performed
so well in his systems design position and was expected to automatically
perform as well in his new management position. Yet, the jump from
organizing only himself to managing a team of eight others was a
huge leap, especially since he had little prior training or experience.
He decided to hire a TCC management coach to discover the secrets
to becoming such a successful manager that he would be considered
for future management promotions.
His coach assisted him to recognize his natural organization and
teaching talents and his strong desire to empower other people to
succeed, and they found ways to overcome his personal aversion to
public speaking. He transitioned into management so well that he
was promoted not once, not twice, but three times within the next
year.
He used his TCC management coach throughout the transition process
to further enhance his management effectiveness at each new promotion
level. He converted himself from a concerned and overwhelmed systems
designer into a confident and relaxed manager, who developed very
positive cohesive producing, teams wherever he went.
Success Story
228
One 63 year old therapist decided he wanted to continue to help
others by focusing on future achievements, rather than continuing
to dwell on correcting past problems. He felt he wanted to become
a life coach. He was unsure about the differences between the two
disciplines and was confused about which coaching school he should
use. He wanted to develop new coaching skills and perspectives to
augment his therapy skills to become a successful life coach.
He engaged a TCC mentor coach to assist him to confirm that the
he was ideally suited to become a life coach, discover the different
perspectives necessary to successfully coach others, and to develop
those skills unique to coaching that he did not already have. He
confirmed through coaching that he really did want to be a life
coach, because it allowed him to fulfill his passion of helping
others, and it fulfilled his life priorities and desires. He discovered
that he could improve the several coaching skills he needed for
success, by only taking three specific coaching classes.
He was coaching his first four pro bono coaching clients after only
5 months with his mentor coach. Today, he has a growing coaching
practice within the specific niche he and his coach discovered to
be his true love.
Success Story
93
One 37 year old young lady had been languishing as one of the lowest
rated salespersons in her industrial supply company for three years,
even though she religiously rose at 5:30 AM to study sales techniques,
she attended every sales seminar she could find, and listened to
sales tapes whenever possible. Naturally, she and her company had
serious doubts about her capabilities as a salesperson, especially
with all of the extra effort she exerted.
She engaged her ideal TCC sales coach to assist her to become the
highly rated and successful salesperson she wanted to be. Immediately,
her TCC coach assisted her to overcome several self-imposed obstacles
that were impeding her success. She found that she could sleep until
7:00 AM, and that she could stop listening to sale tapes. She discovered
that she already knew a great deal about selling and that it was
time to relax and let her natural instincts and talents take over.
Her ability to focus on her clients, without concern for selling
increased her confidence and connections with her clients. She increased
her sales so dramatically that she rose to number 15 in only three
months, and she found enough time and energy to take her first family
vacation in three years.
But the story continues. After she jumped to number 15, she realized
that her company was restricting her continued growth and income
potential. She found that the company spread the plumb new clients
around within the old boy network, and that based upon the limited
products the company had to offer and the company territory restraints
she had reached her maximum income level.
Through coaching, she realized that her exceptional sales skills
would be more valuable elsewhere, and she and her coach then designed
the perfect sales job for her. Once done, she approached the company
that had her ideal sales job. This medical supply company readily
hired her, and treated her with the respect and care that she deserved.
She hit the ground running and opened up a new hospital account
in only one day that normally would take six months to accomplish,
if at all.
Success Story
159
One 57 year old retired executive and his wife had moved to Florida
to continue to enjoy the good life they had experienced while visiting
the sunshine state. He was still young and wanted to continue working.
Yet, he discovered that Florida was much different than he anticipated
and he struggled for two years with several business ventures and
employment efforts. He lost money and found himself in a very unhappy
life rut.
He finally allowed himself to ask for assistance, and engaged his
ideal TCC transition coach. He discovered that living in Florida,
without friends or family was different than visiting. He discovered
what he really wanted to do and where he really wanted to live.
He moved to Pennsylvania because it filled his newly discovered
"retirement career" and lifestyle. His new life included
watching his wife also transition into her "retirement career."
Not only are they building their dream home, but also he began a
consulting career to share his many newly discovered talents with
other executives. He is now earning more money by consulting part
time than he did as a full time executive. Both he and his wife
both rejuvenated their excitement for life and saw their chronic
illnesses disappear at the same time.
Success Story
341
One 41 year old young lady had owned
and operated a group of Internet sales businesses and had seen them
stagnate for the past three years. Although she was a hard worker,
a very strong person, and very committed to the businesses, she
could not improve their profits. She began to feel that she was
in her own way, but she could not figure out how or what to do about
it.
She engaged a TCC business coach to assist her to identify her self-imposed
“walls.” Her coach assisted her to “push her over
these walls” so she could take her businesses to new levels.
Through coaching, she immediately discovered that the tensions caused
by the conflicts between she and her husband, who also worked in
the businesses created a very serious “wall.” She and
her coach found a way to define the rolls and expectations of both
her and her husband to eliminate the constant energy draining tensions.
Once this wall was cleared, they revealed several other “walls”
and cleared them also. By doing so, her natural leadership talents
were unleashed and her excitement and energy levels rose and they
infected her companies. Since then, her companies have realized
a huge and steady jump in profits, and her relationship with her
husband also grew stronger.
Success story 56
One 39 year old IT executive found himself in a very high paying
job, but he was very unhappy. He had gone to several recruiters
to investigate other possible jobs, only to discover the depressed
nature of the IT industry and that he was considered “lucky”
to have such a high paying and secure executive level position.
But, his frustrations continued to rise.
He approached TCC with considerable skepticism to learn about this
new (to him) “coaching thing.” He was also very suspicious
about having a coach focus entirely on him and what he wanted, rather
than on the focusing on finding “executive level” jobs
for him. But when he was asked what “executive level”
job he really wanted, he couldn’t even begin to describe it.
He realized that he had been chasing the illusive rainbow.
He engaged a TCC coach to assist him to discover and get an “executive
level” position that he would love to do. He was even willing
to take a 10% cut in salary to do so. He gave the “coaching
thing” his 100% effort. He figured that he would use his coach
to determine what he really wanted in a new position, and then he
would return to the headhunters to get the right one. After all,
he reasoned, “how could a coach assist him to get an executive
level position?”
After three months of coaching, without using any headhunters, he
faced a dilemma. He had two job offers for the special “executive
level” positions he and his coach discovered to be his ideal
position. He was forced to accept a 50% Increase in compensation
for the position he selected.
Success Story 103
One 25 year old young lady worked in New York City as an executive
assistant. She and her husband lived in Philadelphia and commuted
by train to work in the city. The commute consumed over five hours
each day in travel time for each of them. They were exhausted each
day, and she didn’t like her job or career path.
She engaged a TCC personal coach to assist her to discover what
she really wanted to do and actually get it. After only two months
of coaching, she and her husband moved from their Philadelphia home,
rented it out for more than their monthly costs, and moved into
a Manhattan apartment that cost the same amount as the monthly Amtrak
fees they saved. Immediately, they reduced their monthly living
expenses, started their real estate investment program, and rediscovered
their marriage and life together by reducing their daily commutes
by over four and a half hours per day for each of them.
After eliminating these daily pressures, she and her coach focused
on her and what she really wanted to do. She discovered that she
had a passion to work in the production end of movies or TV programs.
She and her coach organized the plan to enter this field and she
applied for a position at HBO. She was one of only five applicants
out of over 1,000 who were asked to have a personal interview, even
though she had no prior experience. She had the confidence and clarity
to turn HBO’s offer down, because it was not the job originally
offered and it did not meet her criteria. Instead, she pursued a
more desirable job with Court TV and got it and now just walks to
work, doing what she really loves to do.
Success Story 104
One 49 year old lady had been a real estate broker/agent for 10
years and found herself “extremely overwhelmed and barely functional”
in her business. She “was unable to focus on her work for an
entire eight hour day, let alone during the extra hours that her
business required.”
She engaged her TCC business coach to assist her to get control
of her business and life and return to greater profits while enjoying
it more. Immediately, her coach assisted her to discover those obstacles
that were preventing her from being functional and productive. She
created a NOT TO DO list which reduced her feelings of overwhelm.
She also realized that she by reducing the tensions in her personal
life; she was able to increase her energy levels to improve her
focus on the issues at work.
Not only that, but she reported how she had grown in the following
ways: “I am putting a much greater emphasis on spirituality
and gratefulness as a basis for life. I have reached out for the
first time to people on a personal and professional level and have
mended some fences. I am taking better care of myself physically
and emotionally. Best of all, I am now able to be fully engaged
in a full days work and have turned my business around.”
Success Story

One TCC executive client had
risen in the ranks because of a strong dominating style, but found
that this style was impeding his ability to lead the company. The
company was floundering, moral was low, and prospects looked bleak.
He connected with his ideal executive TCC Member Coach.
He was able to improve his
communication delivery and connect better with his employees to
create a harmonious, yet motivated team to turn the company around
in only six months through coaching. He was able to reveal the real
person behind the facade he had put up, yet continue his focus on
success, and tap into the strengths and energies of others to achieve
group success. The company was saved and he had more fun doing it
than he thought possible
And the list goes on!

to gain.
