"Over the last year, I've been learning & growing from the coaching the ACT Team offered me. Simply amazing. My personal growth towards becoming a certified leadership coach with the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and the growth of my clients already is life altering, literally. Further, their compassion for, and patience with their coaching students is beyond admirable. As a life long learner, and aspiring leader, coaching is a perfect complement to my existing quiver of skills. When I talk about changing the world, people like Mike and Erin come to mind."
