CCA has made a huge difference in the growth of our company, the level of leadership across the team, the sense of ownership in all of our employees. In addition they are helping me perform at new levels I had not known were possible.

Before working with CCA I had too many direct reports, and although our culture was terrific, we weren’t developing leaders at all levels. CCA did a Cultural Assessment where they uncovered what truly motivates our employees, helped us identify our emerging leaders, trained and coached to create a culture of profound innovation, collaboration, accountability, empowerment.

The results have been remarkable. Our employees are more engaged and taking greater initiative, our emerging leaders are learning how to be more effective and are mentoring their reports to be the same, and our company is reaping the substantial benefits. We are on track to double our 8 digit revenue in the coming year.

Our board has commented on our renewed vitality, focus, performance. Our employees are on their way to a ‘Thank God It’s Monday’ attitude. And I have greater visibility and more time to focus on strategy.

Thanks CCA!

Working with CCA has made a huge positive difference for us in sales, marketing, culture, operational efficiency and leadership overall. Our sales plan is now streamlined, and our reps have compelling new incentives—plus we’re getting great feedback from them. We’re now putting in place a solid ROI structure and can cost-justify our marketing–plus CCA introduced us to trusted, cost-effective marketing resources.

Our executive team is more focused on our key opportunities and priorities and we now have communication and meeting rhythms throughout the company and with our external sales reps. As a result of our work with CCA I have increased visibility of each department and can help guide our company more effectively. Operational efficiency at our company has reached a new level—and we’re raising the bar.

The best part is our culture is deepening, our team is emotionally engaged, we know where we’re going and how to get there.

CCA is helping us focus in on our highest leverage points in sales, marketing, and management. I plan to have them coach many of our executives.

— Asha Chaudhary CEO Jaipur Rugs
CCA Programs: Executive Coaching, Sales Assessment, Marketing Assessment, Sales Training

I’ve been in board rooms around the world, and I’ve been in the C Suite for many years. I thought I’d learned a great deal about leadership and culture in my roles as COO and CFO at Patagonia, and CEO at Smith & Hawken. Then I met Christine.

What blew me away initially was her insight. Christine can see into me, my team members, our challenges, our limitations so easily and clearly. And she does this with compassion, total support, and with the aim of helping us to help ourselves.

And we have. Our team has come together in a way I couldn’t have imagined prior to coaching and training with CCA. We now have the right people in the right roles with the right tools on the right initiatives. Our revenue and profitability is rapidly growing, our culture is rich, honest, thriving, and our team is rising up and performing at unparalleled levels.

I always knew we had this in us! Thanks for helping us to help ourselves, CCA.

— Karyn Barsa CEO Coyuchi
CCA Programs: Executive Coaching, Logical Levels of Change training, Executive 360 Assessment

When I first met Christine I knew we had to work together, but wasn’t sure what the return on investment in coaching could truly be. Now I know what it is: I think bigger working with Christine – we will double (or greater) our revenue this year as a result of my increased ability to create new strategies, expand my vision, see into my blind spots.

Christine helped me see it was time to bring on a seasoned COO, scale up my team and bring them new resources. She helped me create accountability structures and communication rhythms for my team so everyone is aligned and charging forward. We’re rapidly growing the company in a safe and sane way while preserving and increasing the fun of our culture.

In less than 120 days we closed the largest deal in our company’s history using the strategy Christine and I created together. I know what’s going to happen next–we’ll exceed our sales quota. Again. This is now how we roll. Thanks CCA! Thanks Christine!

— Sharon MacDonald CEO, Interim Furnishings
CCA Programs: Executive Coaching; Accountability, Communication, Execution Training, Sales Assessment

Prior to working with CCA, we did not have a great meeting and communication routine and did not have focused accountability. This was impacting our performance. We could do better. Christine has been very effective in helping me establish a strong meeting and communication rhythm, which has increased our team’s morale and improved our culture.

Christine has provided practical advice on rewards/consequences and increasing our alignment. We have implemented systems to improve our accountability, which has led to our largest pipeline in history and more proactive sales activity across the firm. I am really excited about where we are going and greatly appreciate all that Christine is doing for us.

CCA has helped me to become a more effective leader in the eyes of my team members, my colleagues, my strategic partners and the loved ones in my personal life. A true coach has your back, tells you what you need to hear, helps you grow even when it is uncomfortable. Christine’s commitment to my evolution as an executive and a human being is significant. She’s the real thing… a true coach.

Our team loves working with Christine. They are now more aligned, are closely tracking to our goals, and are more emotionally engaged and accountable. We’ve recently had the two best months of our history, and the trend continues upward. We’re on track to significantly increase revenue and profitability in the coming year.

CCA has truly ‘moved the needle’ for our business.

— Dione Spiteri CEO, U.S. Appraisal Group
CCA Programs: Executive Coaching, Accountability and Execution Training, Sales Training

I’d heard about executive coaching for a while, yet was fairly skeptical regarding the return on investment. Then as a Board member of ReliaMax I witnessed the profound growth in both the executive and management teams as a result of working with CCA, so I decided to give it a try.

Within the first 6 months my leadership style evolved in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Using the tools I’ve gained from CCA, especially the neuroscience rapport techniques, I now more quickly and deeply connect with our team, clients, and prospects. I influence outcomes more effectively too. The inquiry techniques have enabled me to more rapidly create a culture of leadership at all levels, helping our team to take greater ownership faster.

Our profit is soaring, our business is diversifying in fascinating ways, our people are performing at record levels–all because we are investing in them. Now I’m a believer. Thanks CCA, for helping us to grow into who we’d always hoped to be.

— Mark Payne President, ReliaMax Surety Group

CCA has done a fantastic job in helping us with building our culture of opportunity and accountability.  They have worked with each of us on finding greater clarity on what stokes our true passion as individuals, and how this can be used in service of our team goals and achieving what we really care most about.

In less than two months so far, we are already seeing important improvements in our communication, our focus, both our teams’ excitement and my own, and ultimately in our output.  We look forward to continuing to work together.

If you want to gain tremendous clarity on your business strategy and priorities, consider CCA.

CCA’s best value comes in changing mindsets and improving strategies in an environment that is ready to rapidly grow. If you’re a CEO or executive on a rapid growth trajectory, and you want to be the best leader possible for your team, with CCA you’ll experience unparalleled levels of insight, growth, and support.

I also benefitted from CCA’s help in crafting our fundraising story, setting metrics for team performance and structuring deal terms. We’re highly profitable, are diversifying into new markets, revenues continue to exceed our projections, and our team in deeply coming together. Thanks CCA!

— David Hassell CEO, 15Five – Former President EO San Francisco Chapter
CCA Programs: Executive Coaching

Before I started coaching with CCA my company was growing slowly, without a solid plan. In the first four months working with CCA, we’ve created a solid marketing plan, additional revenue streams and a reliable revenue plan, a staffing plan, standard operating procedures for our most crucial company functions, made 2 key hires and I finally feel on top of my business.

In addition to coaching me, CCA trained my team on the latest marketing techniques and on Needle Movers to ensure we’re setting solid markers for growth. CCA’s a reliable, trusted advisor that I can share anything with—she always has a plan, strategy, resource for me when I need it.

Four months into working with CCA we’ve increased our revenue numbers for the year by over 30%. With CCA’s guidance and support our business is on a growth trajectory I never would have imagined!

— Betty Bodenweiser CEO, Foundation for Learning
CCA Programs: Executive Coaching, Sales Training

How do you inspire a global sales force to adopt new, high velocity sales techniques and get beyond ‘no’ even in the face of a down economy? Christine Comaford Associates, that’s how. Your proven tactics for sales and life success left everyone inspired, invigorated, and ready to exceed their quotas!

— Tim Minahan CMO, Ariba, Inc.
CCA Programs: Sales Training, Keynote Program

As a result of working with Christine Comaford Associates we have accelerated growth by 100-300% monthly—and we are sustaining this level. Further, we have created a guaranteed revenue stream via a distributor network, and negotiated countless complex financing, human resource, and client deals.

CCA has helped us achieve multiple business breakthroughs through her incredible insight, guidance, focus, long term thought. The result for our business has been sustained growth, M&A positioning, and IP Protection.

— Ray Sjolseth President, Seesmart
CCA Programs: Executive Coaching

Within the first 6 months of working with CCA our company achieved phenomenal results. CCA brought us over 2 dozen strategic partners, assisted us in acquiring a competitor for a super low price, helped us quadruple our revenue and optimize our marketing plan, raise venture capital financing, the list goes on and on because we’re working with her to this day.

CCA is our secret weapon.

— Henry Wong CEO, Rally Commerce
CCA Programs: Executive Coaching, Sales and Marketing Assessment, Sales Training

Coaching with CCA has been one of the most powerful experiences of my life. It’s not often, as a CEO, that you are present to all your leadership opportunities and blindspots and CCA has been instrumental in me understanding where our biggest leverage points were in our company and how to capitalize on them.

They also have a unique and amazing way of listening and are masterful at equipping a high level executive and CEO with the leadership, communication & influence tools necessary to deal with team challenges and dynamics in a fast paced business. CCA often helps me discover unique solutions, perspectives and resources that I need to handle the most complex situations.

Since I started with CCA we have increased our overall revenue by $300 per HOUR – adding tens of thousands of dollars to our bottom line every month! We are now reaching revenue targets we never thought were possible. And the beauty of it all is, through my work with CCA, I have also discovered a nice balance between work and play, as the head of a high growth company.

— Nammy Patel Founder and CEO of Green Dentistry

I have experienced a profound surge of support and renewed connection with my team as a result of coaching with CCA. Christine has been tremendously helpful in growing my leadership skills, helping me see into my blind spots, and guiding me through expanding my vision. She has demonstrated time again how seemingly minor steps can pay huge dividends—details like this are so easy to overlook!

You understand me, our team, and the needs of our company so well. You have helped me to connect much more deeply with our CEO, my team and my colleagues. I truly and sincerely appreciate everything you have done to help me and our company to thrive.

— Patrick Cary Vice President Marketing, ReliaMax
CCA Programs: Cultural Assessment, Executive Coaching and Emerging Leaders Program

Before working with CCA I was stuck in a position that I knew I had outgrown, yet I wasn’t sure how to envision and evolve to the next level. Christine and the team helped me clear my limiting beliefs, expand my vision, look into the blind spots that had held me back. Then we formed a solid strategy for how I could best serve my company.

The result is that within 6 months I stepped into a remarkable new role that we handcrafted together. I am now contributing to my company in ways I had only dreamed of before. My work is a profoundly fulfilling experience—every day I know I make a difference! Recently I received our ‘Rockstar of the Month’ award for my leadership growth, dedication and passion.

Thanks, CCA, for changing and fine tuning all aspects of my life and for helping me to become the woman that I always knew I could be! And to my company, thank you for investing in me and my future.

— Heather Sanow Director of Training and Communications, ReliaMax

Sometimes we lose ourselves. Working with CCA I realized that for a long time I’d played the victim without realizing it. My self-confidence and self-trust had plummeted as a result of some very challenging experiences over the course of many years.

After only one session with Christine a switch inside me flipped. I recovered my self-confidence and self-trust after missing it for two years. Now I’ve taken back my power at work—I am negotiating better, creating win-win agreements with business partners and clients, and diving into projects I had found intimidating. My relationship with my daughter and husband have improved tremendously too. I’m a new and improved me! I can’t wait to see what I can achieve next

— Stacey LaFlamme Revisions Manager U.S. Appraisal Group
CCA Programs: Executive Coaching, Accountability and Execution Training, Sales Training

With the support and resources of CCA we increased revenue 3x this past year! My 10 year plan has been streamlined to 5 years, and I plan to sell my business for multiple millions by then. I wish I had found CCA sooner! Work with her & you WILL reach your goals!

— Paula Wilbert CEO, Joint Protection Products

CCA helped me grow my company exponentially—to 7 Figures! I cannot recommend Christine Comaford Associates enough. I received my investment back 100 times. I am working less and making more and now have a lifestyle that is in alignment with what I teach.

— Marcia Weider CEO, Dream University
CCA Programs: Executive Coaching

CCA’s personal coaching in our business plan and on acquiring advisors and investors was brilliant. They de-mystified so much for us and Christine’s personal contacts have been helpful several times.
Because of CCA we are approaching billionaires, millionaires and world famous speakers to consider strategic alliances. Thankfully we had the courage to hire CCA.

— Tim Dineen & Natalia Ippolito Co-founders: Inspire Me Media
CCA Programs: Executive Coaching

I’ve built successful businesses before, but never one that required outside financing. My new endeavor spiraled into a rapid growth trajectory, which is why I sought out CCA. I was skeptical about involving just anyone in my new business, but after reading articles on Christine, reading her book and doing my own version of further investigation – I was sold! I couldn’t have been more right; in the first few hours of working together CCA helped me determine our top three near term goals, our financing plan, a compensation structure for our operations manager, connected me with a high profile sales and marketing opportunity, and even gave me sample confidentiality agreements for my staff and contractors! As a result of working with CCA I have the utmost confidence my business will get where I want it to go.

— Joy Boatwright Senior Financial Advisor Merrill Lynch Global Private Client Services

We’re a high performance service team in a very complex business with very demanding customers. We’ve been ‘hard at it’ for 4 years since the last merger, tasked with delivering huge savings and other value contributions to the business year on year. We also reduced our headcount significantly during the same time. Get the picture? A lot of committed, but tired professionals. Christine Comaford spent 90 minutes with our team talking about her life experiences and how we could use her learnings to re—energize, beat bureaucracy and put excitement back into the job. We’re a tough group … but it was transformational. She’s the best!

— Lisa Vincenti CEO, Sensory Revolution

I liked the implementation of a 90 day plan with direct feedback. The group energy and connection was incredible.
