Testimonials
Jay is clearly doing what he loves. He is a very powerful coach who goes right to the heart of the issues I bring to our sessions. After a brief time of talking with him, I see what is going on and then I have the choice as to how to respond to all the various areas of my life: parenting, work, volunteering, relationships. During and after our sessions, I feel deeply encouraged to grow, to expand my way of looking at life and empowered to be fully alive, free and a loving person for the world.
"My Journey with Jay …
…began when I opened an e-mail from my daughter entitled, “You’ve got to call this guy!” She was right. I was 54, depressed, working for a bully and totally unable to imagine making any meaningful changes at my age. But fortunately, I called Jay anyway, and began a significant relationship of discovery, personal growth and, most importantly, support.
After three months with Jay as my personal coach, I learned to open my mind to new possibilities and to work toward my goals in an organized, happily expectant fashion. The result? I’ll soon be starting a new job—one that I know I’ll enjoy--paying 30% more than the last job! More importantly, I learned that I’m not (as I thought) trapped and facing a proverbial dead end. There’s always something new and better to try. Life has become much less scary and more exciting.
Jay is emphathetic, adapts to changing situations (including my moods) and always, always has a positive idea to contribute. My new job is not my ultimate goal. Thanks to Jay, I now have other ideas which will provide me with greater freedom and happiness in the future. I have never experienced anything like the consistent back-up and penetrating insight of a personal coach like Jay. So … I hope Jay will stay my coach for a while longer yet and I highly recommend him to you!"
"I was at a crossroads in my life and needed guidance for my next step. Jay became my life coach; he asked all the right questions and gave me the support and encouragement I needed. Within two weeks, I was on a path that has given me a new and exciting new direction. I am now in school studying to be a music therapist and I couldn’t be happier."
"I highly recommend Jay Pryor as a coach. Jay's > coaching has been invaluable to me over the last 6 months that we've been working together. I can count on seeing something new or getting timely, insightful coaching to support me in moving to what's next when I'm stuck or unclear. There's no trace of judgement in his words or demeanor just targeted, practical coaching that makes a difference."
"When I'm stuck or upset, Jay can get me back on track in five minutes. His questions are like a laser beam, getting right to the issue that I wasn't able to see and opening up new possibilities. In the past, I might have resisted the idea of laser questions, but Jay's compassion and laughter make it easy. I always come away from conversations with him feeling both loved and empowered."
