What I love about working with Devon is that he is someone that I can relate to, someone real and whose words I can resonate with. When I talk to people who want to work with Devon I tell them that he is going to be like your best friend who will call you out on your shit. He will be there as a support without the need for reliving or the deep digging of the past like a therapist does. He believes in moving forward and working through each problem layer by layer and creating a solid foundation.

When I started working with Devon I wanted to focus on my personal life, relationship, self esteem and self worth. My life was chaotic and I was angry and overemotional.

Initially I was embarrassed that I needed a coach and ideally should have been able to figure my life out by myself. I was able to get over that and soon was proud of it. I have learned how to have more confidence, belief in myself and how to love myself.

Not to hide my gifts and not to be afraid to play big.

Everything fell into place very organically and what I like about Devon the most is that he isn't one of those “holier than thou”coaches that preaches to you. I didn't want that. I wanted someone who was real. NY real.

He is always there for spot calls as well. Somethings still come up and he will always make time the same day and get back to me asap. That is very reassuring and brings down my anxiety level when things seem to be going haywire. Most of all I have learned how to take a breath before getting upset and letting my emotions get the better of me. This has really helped me in my personal and professional life. It makes me feel proud of how I react calmly in difficult situations. Devon helps me create systems to maintain this way of life where I put myself first and nothing is more important than my inner peace. This is something I tried to work on for years by myself and was unsuccessful.

If you're looking to make personal/professional growth a commitment then find a coach who speaks to you like Devon continues to do for me.
