Cottonwood Professional Coaching

There’s a lot that I am taking with me after working with Ted. He has helped me become more aware of limiting patterns, and he’s also helped me to identify consistent sources of joy. He’s also helped me to integrate these into the career transition process. Ted’s ability to actively listen, make observations, and follow up on recurring themes is truly meaningful. Not only can I say that he’s been in my corner during our time together, but he’s also given me challenges that have made it clear how much *others* in my life are also in my corner. I can’t recommend him enough and I truly am thankful for our time together.

As a graduate of the Co-Active Training Institute, I was looking for a mentor coach who could guide me not only through the business and marketing side of coaching, but also offer thoughtful, constructive feedback — and create a safe space to ask all of my questions about coaching itself. Ted has been everything I hoped for in a mentor coach — and more. He’s created an environment where I feel both challenged and supported, and where I’m genuinely excited to grow through his feedback and guidance. Whether I’m navigating a concrete challenge or reflecting on a deeper coaching concept, Ted meets me with insight, clarity, and steady encouragement. Although I’ve now completed the mentor coaching hours required for certification, I’ll be continuing to work with Ted long term — both as coach and coachee — because of the deep trust, skill, and safety he brings to our work together.
