"Hey Ian.. I wanted to give you a shout and say thanks. I had a huge pitch this week in NYC for HBO. I gave the presentation of my life - I put into practice all I picked up when working with you and in our sessions and I so felt it. You know when you hit it? Well... The client said it was one of the best presentations she had ever seen and my team is buzzing. THANKS! Can't wait to do it again, would love to fit in another coaching session again some day. Hope you are all doing well. Kalie"

— Kalie Kimballp-Malone, Creative Director, Garrigan Lyman Group

"In just 4 months of executive coaching with BECAUZ, the outward result has been the most successful enrollment months ever in my business - averaging a 500% increase across my gyms. I put aside my ego and closed down an unsuccessful gym that was both a time and energy drain. My staff has shown a dramatic transformation in focus and follow through. Did I mention that I am back at fighting weight: 205lbs. and 7% body fat? "

— Guy Mezger, Owner Lion’s Den Gyms, Affectionately known as “The World's Most Dangerous Man”

"Building a culture conducive to high performing teams is a constant challenge and requires continual investment. BECAUZ took the time to listen to the challenges we faced, learn our operating dynamics and identify the issues preventing our group from performing at peak levels. Rather than a series of canned exercises, BECAUZ provided the perfect learning event. Feedback from each and every participant confirmed that it was tremendously effective in enhancing engagement and building our team from a group of diverse professionals. I encourage anyone wanting to “recharge the resin of their team” to retain BECAUZ "

— Kevin Corrigan, Head of HR, Preston Gates & Ellis

My coach's insight and support have helped me achieve incredible success with regard to my company, my financial success and in my ability to enjoy life on a whole new level. Thanks BECAUZ."

"I can’t believe what we’ve created in just 9 months. The last 4 months of 2005 drove our annual numbers up over 400% and this year our growth has already been staggering. Our dream list of clients is now calling us due to your strategies and unique sales presentation approaches. We’re also playing at a whole new level in our personal life - we are creating a lucrative real estate portfolio and funding a youth group that builds homes in Africa for those who have nothing. "

— George Brown, CEO Mass Environmental

"As CEO of Docutouch, a troubled startup company that the investors had basically given up on, I brought in Ian McKelvie to work on the development of a new marketing strategy and plan. Ian came up to speed on the market, technology and value proposition very quickly and was able to work within very constrained timeframes and budgets. He provided creative insights into the market and the resulting strategy and plan resulted in the current investors continuing to fund the company and the ultimate sale of the company to a larger venture backed entity."

— Alan M. Davis, Principal Revitalization Partners

"Thanks for the 2 hours with our Executive Team. I found the tune-up to be enjoyable and the learning very worthwhile. I’ve done a lot of these types of things and I must say that this was one of the more meaningful ones …. Some just seem like a waste of time, with exercises that are too trivial."

— Teri Wiegman, VP Marketing, Onvia, Inc.

"Ian possesses a broad cross-section of talents, skills and experiences that make him an extraordinary coach. He has a deep understanding of human and team dynamics and is able to help others transform concepts and models into action and results. He stands out among the more than 150 coaches in the program. When I have to refer a client that has significant challenges in the areas of finance, business coaching, leadership and strategy, Ian immediately comes to mind as the appropriate coach. Ian is professional, compassionate and direct. His integrity is unshakable. "
