Phyllis is my most trusted business advisor.  I have worked with her for over 12 years.  During this time my business revenues have grown more than 450%.  Every business owner should have a coach and Phyllis is the best!

I have walked on fire with Anthony Robbins and taken numerous professional and personal training programs. However, hiring Phyllis Campagna as my business coach was the “best” move I ever made. First, Phyllis got to know “all” about me and then spent as much time necessary to assist me in getting to where I am today. Besides making more money, I am enjoying my business and personal life a ton!  I guarantee if you do your homework, Phyllis will get you where you want to be !

Leaving my job and starting my own business was an emotional rollercoaster as much as a financial one.  Phyllis offered not only the type of hands-on business savvy to help me think through all sides of an issue; but also the wisdom, warmth and re-assurance to help me endure the transition.  After experiencing success I couldn't have dreamed possible just three years ago, she says we're ready to take my business 'to the next level.'   The question is (always) am I ready? 

Thank you, Phyllis--you continue to change my life in unexpected and delightful ways.  You're a coach for all seasons."

During 25+ years in business and marriage I've asked for support from a lot of people-mentors, consultants, co-workers, friends, family, therapists-and they have all given me well meaning advice on how to solve my "problems."  Unfortunately, most of the time their advice didn't work for me, and yet I continued to seek and depend on it. In July of 2003, at a very critical time in my life, Phyllis Campagna agreed to be my executive coach. Her coaching style was different from anything I had ever experienced - lots of challenging questions, focused listening, frank feedback that supported me to find and implement my own answers. Over all that time Phyllis has never given me advice, but her coaching and guidance have helped me make extraordinary progress in both my work and my personal life. I look forward to each of our meetings-whether I have progress to report or problems to solve, she'll be there to coach and congratulate me.

When I first hired Phyllis 3 years ago I was in serious debt, close to divorce and my business was failing. At this time I am debt free, still happily married and enjoying a life with much less stress. I am finally putting more money in my pocket after being in business for myself for 12 years. I credit Phyllis with helping release the true me so I could discover the direction I needed for a better life. My close friends and family have all commented on the positive changes I have made in myself and several friends are now Phyllis's clients.

I have utilized the services of Phyllis Campagna as a Business Coach through two businesses, each quite different from the other.

The insight and guidance I've received as President and CEO of my current business has been invaluable. It is at times difficult as CEO to find solid, appropriate advice and guidance. Ms. Campagna has provided an experienced ear and wise counsel that has enabled me to grow my companies effectively and successfully. Additionally, her personal integrity is beyond reproach.

Critical aspects of the coaching both I and my executive team have received from Ms. Campagna include:

  • Life balance—often a challenge for entrepreneurial leaders of growing organizations. Successful leadership requires life balance, and Ms. Campagna's determined direction in this area has assisted me with balancing the demands of a growing, successful company and the desire to have a healthy personal life.
  • Mediation--Ms. Campagna's mediation skills have been extremely useful. She assists with creating the kind of business relationships that resonate with my personal beliefs.
  • Professional development—Ms. Campagna works extensively with our key managers to assist them in becoming effective communicators, managers, and employees. This has been a critical component of her work with my company.
  • Business oversight—Ms. Campagna has assisted with financial and business planning for Health Contact Partners. Her guidance and viewpoints have assisted us with strategic planning and business initiatives.

In summary, I do not believe that my company could have achieved the success it has in the past five years (from $1 million in revenue to over $7) without the guidance that my key managers and I have received.

When we first started working together, I had no idea how integral Phyllis would become to the overall success of my business.  As an entrepreneur trying to find his way through employee management, vendor relations, sales, negotiations, and marketing, Phyllis has been a beacon of light which has helped my business grow while keeping me grounded.  Her vast knowledge of the business world seems unending, and Her ability to help resolve the most challenging situations is quite simply, AMAZING!

It has been my good fortune to have been introduced to Phyllis Campagna over 15 years ago, when I hired her as my business coach.

She has been instrumental in getting me to focus on growing my business. Her wisdom provides me with insightful suggestions and action plans. Phyllis helps me look at my capabilities and life commitments from every  perspective and has a poignant ability to guide me in finding a clear vision for the future.  I have recommended Phyllis to several entrepreneurs who have sincerely thanked me for the opportunity to have Phyllis play a central role in their businesses development.

As my Coach, Phyllis challenges, encourages and provides wisdom in my journey through a mid-life transition.  Her guidance has stabilized me as I evaluate success and significance in my life. Phyllis' intuition and keen business sense set her apart as an invaluable resource. A Coach can help someone realize not only their potential but their dreams.  I am grateful that Phyllis has been part of my journey.

Working with Phyllis is a joy. My revenues have doubled since I began working with her. Her perception of issues is immediate and empathic. Through her skilled guidance, she helps me help myself with goal setting and tracking, fee issues and working with difficult clients (or choosing to "fire" them). Most importantly, Phyllis helps me keep balance in my life - to learn to value each moment of every day, express gratitude and celebrate success. Phyllis is truly my most trusted advisor.

I can't say enough about Phyllis Campagna.  Her ability to provide coaching that leads to change is impressive.  Phyllis combines candor with just the right amount of support - generating performance improvements every time!  I would strongly recommend her coaching for leaders serious about going to the next level.

I have been coached by Phyllis Campagna for the past 2 years. Her coaching has been invaluable in both my business and family life.  I called Phyllis after talking to an associate of mine who had Phyllis as a coach. He  raved about how his income had increased 25%, and more important to him, was that his personal and family life were so much more satisfying.  I was going through many personal challenges at the time, so  I  called Phyllis and said, "I am not a workaholic,  I  want to work less and earn more. "   With her coaching, I did just that!  

Phyllis brings insights, ideas and assignments  which helped my  business grow both years.  I find I am enjoying my business more than ever, and am able to bring additional value to my clients through the skills I have learned through Phyllis.   I highly recommend to anyone who wants a coach on their side, along with an abundant  playbook to call Phyllis.

As the owner of a small business, I have needed advice from time to time on how to keep my business fresh and my life in order.  I turned to Phyllis Campagna several years ago for business coaching, and found that her knowledge of the business world and life itself, along with her positive energy go far beyond the realm of what I considered a business coach to be.  Phyllis has worked with me on everything from marketing, budgeting and employee issues to dealing with outside personal relationships and distractions. Her clear thinking and "game plans" keep things in perspective and help me reach my goals, both in my business and my personal life.  I am fortunate to have Phyllis Campagna as my business coach and would recommend her services to anyone who needs to get their business on track.

“Business Coach” doesn’t feel like a complete description for Phyllis. While the balance sheet and business plan are integral parts of our work together, it goes much deeper. Phyllis helps me navigate the emotional, psychological and even spiritual dimensions of my business – components often ignored in traditional business counsel. Phyllis has helped me see opportunity and purpose during the most difficult of times; provided much-needed reality checks; helped me conquer fears; and pushed me to dream and achieve bigger than I ever thought possible. She is a cherished advisor and friend.”

Phyllis has been a pleasant outside addition to my company.  Phyllis has helped us restructure and refocus our organization through effective planning and implementing integral processes in order to help us reach our goals. Her insight and knowledge of commercial real estate has been a true complement to our success and I look forward to working with her for years to come.

When I signed up to have Phyllis coach me I was just coming out of a terrible business loss and had to go back to work.  I was devastated and discouraged at the fact that I had to build my life back up and “start over”.  Phyllis helped me see the forest through the trees and allowed me to realize why I was working and how that would ultimately get me back to where I wanted to be.  Three years later, $500,000 worth of debt eliminated and I am back in business for myself running my dream company which helps charities raise money through a new and innovative social networking website.  Thanks Phyllis, I could not have gotten here without you.

I have been meeting with Phyllis for over 10 years and as they say ”time flies when you’re having fun” and, it has flown by!  I remember my initial meeting with Phyllis which lasted over four hours; I walked away thinking that if someone will take that much time and ask such detailed questions, she really must care about her clients and words cannot describe how much she does.

Over the years, Phyllis has given me ideas, leadership and strength to try things that I would have never done and, more importantly, not to be afraid to fail in trying.  Her last question in our initial meeting was “how would you like to work less, make more money and spend more time with your family?”  Of course who wouldn’t, and true her word, she has helped me live this reality every day.  But most of all she has taught me to say thank you and mean it.  Thank you Phyllis!

As a coach, I’ve experienced you as truly interested in me, able to recognize my abilities, even when I don’t see them in myself.  Most importantly, you can always be trusted with personal and business information.  You ask tough questions and have superior listening and observation skills.  I have found your method of giving assignments that are small and very do-able to be deceptively powerful.  You have a way of unleashing the possibilities within.  You are a terrific friend and a stellar coach.  I offer these comments as my cumulative “thank you” for all the support and guidance along the way.
