There is a direct correlation between my coaching relationship and my two promotions within the company. The strategies, tools, and conversations have directly impacted my professional capacity. I have been extremely impressed with his process to challenge me to have the courage to address obstacles head on. The series of questions he asks and the method he follows will cause you to reflect and invest time in the most important areas of your life. We have covered a lot of ground in a short period of time and the impact has been life changing.

I really enjoy my coaching relationship with Curtis. It has led to a few breakthroughs for me, both personally and professionally. Curtis asks great questions, allows ample time for me to think without interrupting, and helps me clarify the right forward progress actions. I think of him as my coach and a strategic thinking partner.

Curtis has a rare gift of asking insightful questions that enable you to think about previous experiences to create solutions that fit your personal and professional values. After each call, you will be incredibly focused on acting on your commitments. I am convinced Curtis’s coaching has created long-lasting skills that will empower me to be more self-aware and courageous in any situation. I highly recommend Curtis to anyone who would like a clear path to achieving great results and hitting goals.

I was referred to Curtis Carnes by a neighbor and colleague whom I highly respect. We’ve shared many discussions about best business practices and sales approaches over the last couple of decades.

Curtis helped me create a roadmap with clear goals between sessions, based on what is most important to me. He then worked with me to identify creative ways to achieve these goals. I didn’t want to let myself or Curtis down in between these sessions. By working hard to accomplish the tasks that I committed to, they became the highest priorities in my week, knowing the big picture that comes from completing my greatest goals.

Big shifts are incredibly difficult to make on your own, which is why when it came time to transition from corporate America to my own business, I knew I needed help. Curtis was the voice of clarity I needed to take the bold steps required. He helped me reframe my roadblocks around uncertainty, identity, and competence into concrete action steps that put me back in control of my own narrative. I am massively grateful for the way he brought his whole self to every meeting. If you want help navigating a transitional period, you’ll be in great hands with Curtis.

Curtis challenged me to find my WHY and my self-worth. I am in a unique situation where I have invested my entire career in finding my next challenge and Curtis helped me take courageous actions toward navigating obstacles in my career I would have otherwise avoided or handled poorly. I have always struggled with separating professional and personal, or understanding that this is business and conflicts are not personal attacks. Curtis helped me create practices around separating feelings from facts and being able to react vs respond in challenging conversations or situations.

“I connected with Curtis at a pivotal point in my career when I was feeling burnt out and disconnected. His thoughtful and practical approach to coaching helped me design clear, actionable goals to chart a new course and provide clarity to my priorities at home and in my career. Curtis is skilled at asking the right questions that helped me discover what I truly wanted to achieve in life and how to make it happen.”

“Curtis came alongside me at a critical juncture in my professional life where I had to choose between maintaining the status quo or embracing a riskier, more fulfilling future. His coaching opened my eyes to possibility and gave me the courage to take the better path. He guided me in a way that I not only discovered and set my own course, but saw it through.”

“Curtis has helped me find greater clarity and has challenged me into greater creativity, as he's worked with me to breakthrough into my next level of impact as a coach. If you are looking for breakthrough in your life or leadership, I highly recommend Curtis.”

“I came to Curtis to help prepare for a lot of big life changes that I knew were coming. He immediately guided me to identify the areas where I needed to develop a better sense of agency and focused on helping me build out strategies to achieve my vision there. With Curtis’ coaching I’m entering this next chapter with confidence.”

“I have accomplished more as a leader in these last months of coaching than I have in previous years combined.”

"Curtis has the unique ability to cut through complexity and get to the issues and desires that truly matter. He helped me process through a liminal moment in my life that freed me up to make the next right step.”

“Curtis helped me hone in some of my gifts and showed me ways to leverage my skills within my cultural setting. I made everything so complex, but Curtis helped make things simple so that I could grow in my leadership, capacity, and capability to serve my area of ministry.”

“I hit a wall in my life and felt like I was paralyzed - unable to even think about a way forward. Curtis helped me imagine a future for myself and gave me the tools to move into some new deeply transforming practices that have shaped my life for the better. He did this with precision, passion, and care. I feel like I can now navigate future obstacles in my path with courage.”
