 Chuck is an excellent executive coach. He combines real world experience, candor and pragmatism in helping a leader grow.  I walked away from time together as a better leader.  I would recommend him to anyone looking for an executive coach. 

John Crowley, Pres. & COO

I was fortunate to work with Jesus Maximoff for several years as my executive coach. He is a brilliant coach and helped me to grow significantly as a leader. I highly recommend his services in leadership development and executive coaching.

Vice President, Community and Health Equity at Presbyterian Healthcare 

Chuck is the best manager I've ever worked with. He is exceptionally professional, fair, competent and confident.
Alyson Ebaugh  

 Chuck coached me around a very complicated situation; his questions were excellent. Chuck is an exceptionally supportive coach. He encouraged me to stretch and provided words of encouragement specific to the situation.  It is without reservation that I recommend him.

The 6 months I spent working with Kiva Elliott absolutely transformed my confidence as an early career leader. Not only is Kiva incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of leadership development, but she is also an excellent listener and support system. Nearly a year later, I still frequently refer back to the tools, resources, and advice that Kiva shared with me during our coaching engagement. I am so grateful for the time I spent working with and learning from Kiva.

Michael J Fox Foundation

Being coached by Chuck has impacted my life. It has helped me improve and move to another stage of self-direction and self-management and helped me grow. 

Founder 

Non-profit in Cambodia 

I think what sets [Zitty Nxumalo] apart from other consulting firms that our organization has worked with in the past is that [her] team took the time to listen. They didn’t walk in with preconceived ideas of the direction we needed to take, or cookie cutter plans for our organization to fit into. Instead, they took the time to hear our voices and learn our stories. Then, they worked with us to make the connections on how to most effectively move towards a plan that would help us serve our community and our constituents. That level of personal support was exactly what we needed to move into our next level of service.

Executive Director, Black Child Development Institute of Greensboro

 I had the good fortune of being paired with Chuck after I transitioned careers in spring 2021. I cannot recommend Chuck highly enough. Chuck was a guide and resource at a critical junction in my career. He listened and responded to more than my surface level concerns. Through his coaching I was able to address both tangible challenges I was facing in my new role while also deepening my self-awareness, which led to positive outcomes as a supervisor and leader in my organization. His ability to build rapport quickly, meant I trusted him with more sensitive concerns. This coupled with his industry knowledge led to a dynamic coaching experience. I'm grateful  for Chuck and am always on the lookout for a way to work with him again in the future.

Aiir Consulting

Beth Stiner has been my coach for over a year, and in that time, I have grown tremendously as a human as well as a leader thanks to her coaching. Late last year, Beth helped me lead my team offsite which was a HUGE hit and I feel like my leadership team is firing on a new level, breaking down barriers, and working horizontally in an elevated way as a result of our work together. We have seen the results of our work together emerge in recent engagement survey scores and achievement of our goals. She played a key role in helping drive my growth in these areas. I’ll be forever grateful!

Having Sarah Arnett as a leadership coach has been transformative for me and for my organization.

Zitty Nxumalo's coaching style exudes warmth. From the moment you meet her, she establishes a genuine connection that enriches each coaching session. Her feedback is refreshingly transparent and she has a knack for framing questions in a way that prompts deep reflection. Zitty's approach encourages you to pause, reconsider, and truly engage with the coaching process.

Associate Director, Human Resources

It had an immediate impact, and we heard positive feedback from everyone who participated.

Nona Henderson, OD,

Highly motivated and goal oriented. Chuck's ability to connect with people is second only to his communication skills. One of his most powerful assets is his prowess for cutting to the heart of a conversation topic. As a speaker, his ability to “get to the point” has garnered many fans. 

Rick Martin

As a coach, Sarah Arnett’s approach showed intentionality, thoughtfulness, and thoroughness. She asked all the right questions and rather than just telling me what to do or what direction to go, she helped me discover and determine the next steps I should take in my leadership journey- that is coaching. I found Sarah to be calm and affirming, she was a sounding board and a confidante.

Chuck is one of the best trainers and teachers you could find. He has a natural gift of communication that makes him engaging regardless of the topic. 

Scott Evans, Leadership Development Consultant 

 I've had the pleasure of working with Chuck in a number of different avenues. Chuck has provided coaching, consultancy and produced thought provoking content for impactful leadership development. Most recently, Chuck coached me through a challenge. He is an incredible listener, got curious, and empowered me for my best  solution. 

Susan Terrel, Healthcare HR Executive 

I want you to know that my team really, truly is excited about the day they spent with [Jonathan Vehar]. I have gotten great feedback on the value of the day and better than that, I am seeing evidence of “insight in use.” The cards [Jonathan] gave me to use as weekly reminders are perfect and everyone caught the chocolate chip cookie reference. There is energy around modeling the right behavior too, and pulling others in that way. 

VP Marketing & R&D, Otis Spunkmeyer, Inc.

 During the time I worked with Chuck I sought his expertise and advice often. He was able to interact with multiple groups of supervisors and staff employees to facilitate positive response to an environment under colossal change. He was always positive, had excellent insight, excellent listening skills, and always  moved t issues forward. 

Phil Lotti, Healthcare Executive

Chuck is one of those unique individuals who have the capacity to strategically lead and also move things through to execution. He has an incredible grasp of human dynamics and change management which not only makes him a superb facilitator, it also allows him to craft strategies that are not only accepted well by his partners but also produce the intended results.
