Peter Zorbas, Real Estate Broker

I have been working with Patrick Rhein for 6 months, and I am seeing extremely positive results. In my business, self-motivation and organization are key drivers to success. I was driven, but needed to have structure and goals in place in order to measure my progress. Patrick has given me the tools and provided the resources to set and focus on goals and life planning. He has also helped with motivation and it has been a real eye opener watching my thoughts turn into actions. Patrick's understanding of my personality, background and attributes made a tremendous difference and he was able to use that and provide unique coaching for my requirements. My entire outlook in all aspects of my life has changed in a positive manner. I have enjoyed working with Patrick and I would highly recommend him.

George Sinclair, Real Estate Broker

Patrick Rhein has been working with me for six months now, and it has been a real life changing experience. The benefits of coaching over taking educational courses and training sessions, is that it is personalized and ongoing. We have regular meetings and Patrick is also available for advise in between meetings. He will also check up to see if I have done what I said I would. I believe everyone should have a coach in business and personal life and I would highly recommend Patrick. I wanted a better balance with less stress in my life and he has certainly helped me accomplish that. I have established a very clear set of goals, some very aggressive and I am achieving them. One example was my interest for many years to start playing the piano. I thought and talked about it for a long time, but now have actually purchased a piano and I am taking weekly lessons. What distinguishes Patrick from other coaches is how he incorporates a whole different way of viewing things into his programs. Positive attitude, visualization and reward systems are some of the new ways of thinking that have helped me tremendously in business and in my personal life. I am pleased to have been able to refer other colleagues to Patrick with equally rewarding results.

This letter endorses the coaching services of Patrick Rhein. I have always prided myself on being a hard-worker, but knew that I lacked focus and self-confidence in certain situations. Patrick has changed all that. Patrick is a gentle but insistent coach. He encouraged me to find my own solutions, and apply them consistently. He has helped me set goals beyond what I ever dreamed of attaining. I am attaining them. I hired Patrick so that I would have someone to rely on who has my best business interests at heart. He has provided me with the resources, coaching and encouragement that you can't get from anyone but a professional coach. I am going to make Patrick's coaching a part of my 2007 business plan through the entire year to make sure that I hit every target for the best year of my career. I would strongly encourage any business person to hire a coach and make that coach Patrick Rhein.

Jean-Philippe Brunet / Chief Financial Officer

I was ready mentally for renewal and change but things were confusing, unclear and not set out in a global perspective and picture. Patrick gave me the right questions and the opportunity to clarify my self questioning, to take a step back in order to understand events more deeply and to analyse. Patrick helped me to look at my life with a new view (the Wheel of Life) which gives you a more balanced approach of what to do; he supported me in defining my Values which are the inner drivers of your life. Professionally I was far from understanding Emotions and there impact on you, your personal and business life. Now I know their importance and I can deal with them and improve on all of my relationships. Patrick has been acting as a good coach, helping me to increase my consciousness and to prepare for the changes and renewal. He has given me the tools and advice to launch the process and to make it a success (your values, your past successes, your objectives through different fields of your life wheel and your action plan to make it a real success). I recommend his services to anyone who is serious about taking the steps they want to enrich and to further develop their lives.
To go through this positive process, you need a partner and Patrick is the right person.

Sanjiv Chadha / Real Estate Advisor

After hearing and learning about the benefits of coaching, I decided to take a complimentary coaching session. Some of my key motivators for having a coach in my life were as follows: increasing my level of confidence, setting goals, learning to manage the fine balance between personal and business life, learning emotional intelligence, maintaining a positive attitudes. Patrick has a great way of understanding an individual's potential; in my case, he was able to pinpoint my abilities and direct me towards achieving my personal and business goals quicker than I thought possible. Patrick is there as a friend, mentor and someone who you can count on to make sure you are headed in the right direction. Patrick has been a great addition to my business plan and you can count on him being part of my future business plans.

Dominique Bredin / Real Estate Consultant

I must admit that I was sceptical at first, as I didn't believe that coaching could have such a rapid and powerful impact on the business side of my life. You will quickly discover with Patrick that wherever you want to go, he can lead you there, providing you with everything you need to achieve your goals faster than you thought. In a few months, Patrick coached me on so many skills that it has changed my life. Among the benefits: a stronger-than-ever level of confidence, aggressive business goals that have been achieved in 2005,  the implementation of a system for success, incredible fun at work, tools to manage my emotions, a much better balance between work and personal life with more time for my family. Beware: coaching with Patrick is addictive!

Christine Bourgier / VP of National Sales

I have been working with Patrick once a week for one hour of coaching for 4 months. If I had to describe simply what the effect the coaching has had on me, it would be, “a revelation and accelerator of talents”! The method that Patrick uses is perfect for me; I am the pilot and act, Patrick asks the right questions and can suggest some directions… The trust is both ways and the results are therefore rapidly attained. For example: As a VP National Sales, I am in contact with different “actors”: The Adecco collaborators (60 agencies) throughout the country, the national sales teams, the clients and the prospects, the regional directors, the direction team… All of them have different expectations, different ways to function…. Thanks to the work I did with Patrick, I was able to find the right positioning and attitude that results in me being in perfect balance with my own values every day and with every person that I meet. The best reward received, was the one when my team testified about my great leadership to the company president. Furthermore, I realized a dream that’s a bit older than 20 years in just over a month of coaching, I created my own photo exhibition show! I have more dreams to fulfill! The coaching is looking towards the future but taking care of the present as well. It helps me in putting thoughts into action with respect to the reflection thereof and personal feelings. It is a real “life booster” for me! Thank you!

David Burman / Dentist and Professor

Patrick demonstrates a remarkable set of skills and tools at his disposal, which he applies with insight and sensitivity. He never fails to surprise me with ideas and resources that have resulted in breakthroughs to problems I have been struggling with for years. And the level of support I feel extends beyond our sessions to include a follow-up structure and availability when needed. The changes in productivity and life satisfaction that I have experienced with Patrick's help have made this a very worthwhile investment.

Sylia Arsenault / Director

I enrolled myself with Patrick who supports me towards changes, a new way of looking at life. I have learned a lot from him such as: integration of Emotional intelligence, letting go, getting to know myself better, allowing errors, reintegrating pleasure (small and big), developing a personal action-plan. What I got from it is better than therapy, it is now, it is pro-active, I get results, it is pragmatic. With him I am aware of the wisdom of my actions and decisions and it gives me a better sense of direction.

Francis Clark / Founder / President

My coaching sessions with Patrick Rhein have really made a difference in how I feel about myself and my life.
In truth, I was hesitant at first, not knowing what to expect from him nor what the results would look like. It was his good nature, his support and kind heart as a friend that served as a bridge of faith that I could walk over to reach the other side. It has been 2 months since that walk and I don't regret my steps in anyway.
I had heard about Patrick's broad range of knowledge ranging from business planning and personal growth coaching to emotional intelligence and spiritual growth. During our coaching sessions I had the opportunity to discover and discuss what was most important in my life, then create action plans for achieving it. Whether it was to lead ahead or climb over obstacles, Patrick always had an exercise or a question or a suggestion that helped me get to the next level. I found myself surprised at all of the wisdom and expertise that lay beneath his fun-loving personality. He was never boastful, never got angry and never made himself inaccessible.
My coaching sessions have helped me to recognize and reward myself for my achievements. This is an important step in personal development that I usually skipped as I moved on to the next thing. I also learned to see more humour in life...to see the humour in how life is not perfect...in how people see and do things differently. This helped me to laugh and be amused by life, where once I would be hurt, frustrated or intimidated.
Patrick Rhein has been a great friend and a great coach. He has helped me to be better at helping myself and for this I am grateful. I recommend his services to anyone who is serious about taking the steps they want to take to enrich and further develop their lives.
It's a bridge worth crossing, really.

Mike Shepherd / Operations Manager

I was a client of Patrick Rhein's for four months earlier this year as part of my company "Trailblazer" leadership program. I undertook a 360-degree assessment and Patrick coached me through the feedback. During this process I found him lucid and patient at all times. He was able to explain the concepts well and provide me with many practical suggestions to implement in the workplace. His coaching has increased my emotional competence and has definitely helped me improve my performance at work.

Sandrine Beustes / Executive Accountant

I am presently in a special program of my company which is designed to develop leadership qualities. This program is divided into several parts, one of it being coaching.
When one get into this process of "personal improvement", it takes us sometimes into unknown areas. One tries to change some behaviors and the testing of it can sometimes become adventurous. In that sense, coaching helped me to find answers when I wasn't too sure. My coach helped me be accountable for my thoughts and to reflect on it. I might have chosen to give up because it is easier or for lack of time. My coach pushed me to analyze situations, events, good or bad and to see how I could have acted differently, if it didn't go the way I wanted it to. It is very customized and personal because the counseling comes more from powerful questions and our own reflection than from the coach. I received suggestions sometimes, but most of the time my coach triggered the self-suggestion. I spoke about all that bothers me and it helped me vent my stress. To be able to speak about things helped a lot to face them. I often just need a little "push".
I found out also that it pushes me to be more committed. I found it hard to change my habits and more so my personality. To see or talk to my coach regularly, helped me to stay committed and persue a bit more of the experience.....

Julie O'Brian / Entrepreneur

Working with a life coach helped me gain clarity ¨C about my career, my values and where I want to lead my life. Patrick provided me with practical tools that I often use to ¡°push¡± me to do what I really want or work through a stressful day. He challenged me to look within myself to identify what's really important and encouraged me to go after it. Working with Patrick has given me more confidence both personally and professionally.

Sylvie Gervais / Entrepreneur and independent agent

These coaching sessions are most beneficial for my life. Thanks to actions taken with Patrick's coaching, I have freed myself of the past patterns that were holding me back, stopping me from moving forward. Since then, I have learnt a tremendous amount about myself and I now know what I want out of life. I have discovered and am in the process of realising my dreams.
I sincerely think that everyone should give themselves the gift of being coached at least once in a life time.

Régine Paradis / Administrative Assistant

Amazing! Thrilling! This is the feeling the Emotional Intelligence Coaching with Patrick gave me! To my knowledge, Emotional Intelligence Coaching is the best technique to quickly obtain my goals in life. All I need is a little bit of will power and determination and the rest will come by itself - I am not exaggerating! No need for months or even years of therapy! No need for me to read countless books to get through the challenges in my life. Patrick inspires my determination to go for my goals. He makes me feel like there's no time to waste and that this is a normal thing to make one's dreams come true, like eating or sleeping. Life is too precious and too short and it is a shame to waste time procrastinating and being unhappy!
