Creative Executive & Leader Coaching | Jeff Fajans Creative Executive Coach

“I initially signed up for coaching with Jeff during a transition period in my career, when I had to redefine my role inside my organization, identify my priorities, areas of focus, and how to have an impact during a phase of intense flux.

Jeff helped me a lot, bringing great clarity, perspective, and suggesting approaches or methods that helped me navigate this change.

Many of his suggestions are now part of my daily routine. We continued evolving the coaching relationship from there.

I feel Jeff can be a great partner for anyone in a leadership position, having to deal with culture change, innovation in organizations, and how to be effective during uncertain times."

"I'm the co-founder of a software startup, and I decided to see if coaching could help me get better at setting and achieving my goals.

I did some research on various coaches and picked Jeff because I liked what he had to say in his bio.

My experience has far exceeded expectations. Jeff is a gem.

He asks great questions. He is also great at helping me clarify my goals, and then hold me accountable to keeping them.

I can't recommend Jeff highly enough as a coach. I almost don't want to write this review for fear that he will get too popular, leaving less time to work with me."

"My first intro call and chat with Jeff was splendid and I felt I had landed in the right hands to help me navigate through my needs.

Based on development areas agreed upon and assessments made, Jeff has been quite methodical in the areas to be addressed.

He is extremely approachable and provides a lot of air time via chat in going through the issues as well as during the fortnightly calls. He is available when I need him to go through issues.

He is rich with resources and shares them based on my needs (dev areas). I have observed improvements in the areas identified and Jeff has been a pillar of strength in my journey.

Jeff is a great coach and very effective in his approach."

"In the last 3 months, I have gone from one of the lowest performers to the TOP producer on my team by a wide margin.

In fact, everyone on my team is asking what my "secret sauce" is and is picking my brain for advice now.

I'd say that is a 180-degree turnaround from where I was before working with Jeff!

I started working with Jeff to help reinvigorate my software sales career.

The top thing I enjoy about working with Jeff is that he asks high-quality questions that help you to create more "flow states" - which is essentially a peak performance state which is crucial for success in my sales role."

"I recently started a creative advertising agency in the digital media.

I was moving in circles, I had a lot of ideas but very little actions, I was very stressed and disappointed with my results. I was lucky to find and work with Jeff.

Immediately I started working with him, I realized a big change - I began to do the things I said I will do, my personal integrity and self-confidence went up, my priorities when I wake up in the morning are now CRYSTAL CLEAR.

I am feeling very productive with tools and techniques suggested by Jeff. We even worked on sales script together.

I wish I had a coach like Jeff earlier - I would have accomplished even more. He really goes the extra mile to give insight and show you the way."

I've worked with clients from all across the globe: North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Australia, and Africa (every continent except Antarctica*)

It has been an absolute privilege and honor to work with creative people from so many diverse cultures.

Regardless of what timezone or country you are in, I am committed to being as flexible as possible in making our coaching relationship work.
