As I say on my Life Coaching page, not every client is right for me. I only want to work with a specific type of person and they are people who have a sense of stuckness or a feeling that they aren’t fulfilling their life potential, as well of course as with other Life Coaches.
Therefore, I wanted to set up a page for coaches that offer services that I do not. All of the coaches below work in their own niches.
Quite honestly I believe you’re better working with somebody who’s an expert in your specific area of need, than somebody who claims to be all things to all men. And there are way too many of the latter working in the Life Coaching industry
A note of caution:
I am confident that all the people on this page are competent coaches and that is why I contacted them.
However, I cannot be sure because even though they seem legitimate to me and I know most of them personally, I haven’t been coached by any of them.
Therefore, do your due diligence before hiring them. Any coach worth his or her salt will have no issue with you interviewing them or asking for testimonials. If they do, then don’t hire them.
I have asked them to write their own bios (except Bob Poole, I wrote that), so these are their words and also be assured, I’m not being paid for featuring any of these coaches.
The Heart-Centered Business Coach – Mark Silver
Can every act of business be an act of love and still be effective? For folks in small business who want to make a difference in the world and still need to make money. Spirituality in business isn’t like gassing up a car, where you fill up sitting on a cushion, then go run yourself dry doing the things you have to do. Each act of business contains within it the possibility of both love and effectiveness, connection and nitty-gritty getting it done.
Thousands of clients since 1999 have found the Heart of Business approach is a very grounded, detailed, practical approach to integrating spirituality and business practices. Mark is a fourth generation entrepreneur, a designated Master Teacher in his Sufi spiritual lineage, and on the verge of finish his Masters of Divinity.” Go to site
The Sales Coach – Bob Poole
Bob epitomizes class. But fortunately, if you’re needing sales help, his sales and communication skills are of the finest quality too. I am very critical of many sales people because they seldom practice their art as they don’t realize sales is a skill no different than any other. Bob has been practicing the art of sales since some time after the Great Depression and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Go to site
Note: Be sure to check out the video on Bob’s home page, it’s excellent.
The Marketing Coach – Tony Teegarden
Do you want more clients? Do you give away free sessions and hope your prospects hire you? Do you shudder at the thought of charging higher prices? Would you like to help more people by turning your coaching into digital products like webinars and online home study courses but don’t know where to start?
If you’re not getting enough clients, there is a gap between the message you’re projecting and the deep desires your audience possesses. Tony Teegarden can coach your “message to market” out of you and quickly refine it so you can serve more people while earning more money. Go to site
The Weight Loss Coach – Karen Paritee
If you call yourself an emotional eater… if you know what to do to lose weight, you just wish you felt like doing it… if food calls your name when you’re not hungry, and you want it to stop, Karen Paritee is the Weight Loss Coach for you. Karen Paritee-now 47 and menopausal! – has kept off the 40 + pounds that she lost after she stopped dieting (and bingeing and dieting and bingeing) over 11 years ago. If you weigh more than you want to weigh, it’s because of the importance of eating to your emotional eco-system.
Once you respect and leverage the connection between your eating when you’re not hungry and your values, you can re-connect to your intuitive eater, lose both your literal and “figurative” weight, and keep it off, too. Go to site

The Student Coach – Sam Spurlin
Before landing in graduate school to study positive developmental psychology, Sam plied his trade as a teacher in a high school government and economics classroom. He also spent a copious amount of time working with the high school hockey team and ended up taking the head hockey coach position at the University of Detroit Mercy before eventually moving to California to further his education.
