The Coaching Pod was a safe and exciting space for me to reflect about my role in the world and to gain clarity about what really matters. Now, I am not only more effective in my responsibilities, but I am happier with my approach. It felt incredible to have a community to grow in, and I loved supporting my fellow Pod members.  The time I spent with the Pod is proving to be invaluable, and I am happy that I made the decision to invest in myself now, at the start of my career, rather than later.

Ted is the man. He is the person I go to whenever I’m stuck. He has helped me get unstuck on particular projects, with particular people, and in my life/career direction. What I admire most about him is that he always stands for the person I want to become, while showing compassion and honesty to the person I am now. I try to replicate that approach in my work with students.

Ted’s been facilitating (in our pod) deep reflection through the insightful questions he poses, wisdom he shares, and “homework” he assigns. It’s been a uniquely personal experience because Ted is great at tuning into what we need even when we don’t realize we need it (ie. joy, need to impress, etc.). It’s also been an honest space where all of us can engage in conversation to facilitate each other’s growth as well.

I met Ted at a crucial time along my journey through a challenging career transition. Working with Ted gave me the freedom to seek clarity less by process of elimination than through seeing how all of the pieces could fit together to help me be a better leader.

Ted effortlessly draws out the impact points for my SXSW session and after each meeting with him I was able to find a clear map for the stories and structure I will use. I am deeply thankful for and highly recommend Ted’s presentation coaching.”

Ted gave me the kick in the pants to think a bit more boldly about leading and risking, which has proven invaluable. He called things as they were which was similarly critical to our evolution.

--Simon, Head of The Darrow School

Talking with Ted has been a tremendous help. Even though we only spoke a few times, it offered me clarity and strength to do the things I already knew I had to do, and to actually do them. Ted listens well, but also gives his own opinion on things, always with your (mental) health in mind. This combination is powerful, especially if you’re looking for something more than just blowing off steam. If you’re struggling with difficult decisions, I would strongly advise having a talk with Ted.
