Robert’s positive, forward-looking approach gave me new tools and new perspectives that are helping me move forward in the direction I want to be heading.
Steve Rohde
During a big transition time in my life, I started working with Robert to gain clarity and perspective to help me make some important decisions. He was instrumental in helping me structure my thoughts and ideas, refine my identity and move forward on my journey with certainty. Robert has an incredible ability to get to the source of a situation or dilemma, and has a knack for helping people exploit their own creativity and approach to solutions!
Justin Svatina
Robert's approach is insightful and light-hearted, and he has an excellent way of normalizing life's everyday challenges in a way that makes them seem much more manageable. He seems to have an endless supply of helpful tips on how to better manage your life and holds you accountable to the goals you set out for yourself. I leave every session with a fresh outlook and a clear understanding of what to do that week. For anyone seeking support and practical life-wisdom, you can't ask for anyone better! :)
Polina Gubnitskaia
Robert is a great life coach. I contacted him at a moment when I wanted to transition professionally and he was present to walk me through my options, to provide guidance and to support my decisions. He is a very good listener but also actively engages with you to give you just that other perspective or option, to share real-life examples, and to make you feel that your dreams can come true. I came out of every session optimistic and energized - I felt grounded but reached for the stars.
Cecilia Thompson
After a difficult period with my business and personal life, Robert was extremely helpful in guiding me to find joy in my work and peace with myself. He opened my eyes about a lot of ways to lead and to trust. When I think back on how I felt when I first walked in compared to one year later, I am impressed at how much change a person can go through when they are being guided by the right person.
Patricia Godley
Robert is one of those people that will change your life forever. When I started my sessions I was pretty much in a state where I had no hope for improvements and was even considering moving away from Canada! My professional burn-out was driving me crazy insecure about my career and the current company I am working at. After 3 months of weekly sessions, I am now in charge of my life once again and more confident than ever at work and with my art! My life is now moving forward and thanks to Robert.

Robert has a wonderful way of connecting with people. His candidness, humor, and gentle advice make him easy to talk to. I also really appreciated the telephone consultations and extra effort he put in even when we were not in session. Thanks to him, our family learned to communicate with a better understanding and appreciation of each other.
