"Ted is a true gift. He literally helped me "find" and hone my management skills, he showed me some of my innate skills and some that I had learned in past jobs. Ted helped me wade through the internal politics, enabling me to keep my integrity and confidence, and truly "see" what these people wanted/needed/were afraid of. Lastly, Ted has encouraged and taught me how to have more balance in my life."

"Ted’s business coaching perspective comes from ‘real-world’ strengths as a former corporate executive, an entrepreneur, and a consultant to large organizations. He understands where I am now and helps me see future possibilities."

"I began my coaching relationship with Ted Kneidl in December 2004. I was 58, an unemployed executive. I firmly believed that no one wanted to hire an “old” guy like me. With Ted’s encouragement and guidance I landed a management position with the Department of Defense in January 2005. What I didn’t know was that the environment was loaded with political land mines. Again, Ted was instrumental in helping me through all of that. I have had three promotions since then and today I am the government equivalent of the VP of IT Development with a budget of $300 million and 90 employees."

"My previous mode of operation was that of being overwhelmed. Ted helped me to examine my values and priorities. My biggest take away from working with Ted has been to ask "What is the best use of Dave?" I now use this question all the time in my life. It forces me to examine what I am facing, apply my values, and set priorities. It has greatly reduced my stress."

"Ted Kneidl’s coaching has had a profound impact on my life. His curiosity, insight, humor and unique ability to shift perspectives has allowed me to mine resources within myself that I had no idea were there. His support has given me the courage to break out of old professional boxes and discover new ways to relate with both people and conflict. I am more able to “stay in” when conflict arises and look for creative ways to engage rather than retreat."

"What I appreciate about Ted is his ability to ask relevant, thought provoking questions to help me identify and uncover the things that matter most. I selected Ted as my coach for his questioning, listening and background in business - he has done it before, and I appreciate his ability to push me out of my own paradigms."

“Ted has opened my eyes to the power of commitment and focus. His coaching has enabled me to move past some roadblocks I could not see my way through and helped clarify where I want to go and the steps to get there. Coaching with Ted has catapulted me into action and it feels great!”

"Ted is a perfect blend of tenderness and practicality and great fun. He can provide creative new options and perspectives for you to consider. His vulnerability allows you to be vulnerable, to open up, to trust him. He will hold you steady while inspiring you to find the strength and courage you possess within you. From the place you will make the changes you want to make, be who you want to be, live the life you want to live."

"Ted coaches in such a powerful and client centered way that I have applied the learning I receive from him and his coaching in my professional and personal life as I interact with my clients, law partners, opposing counsel and the court system itself."
