There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there's only a scarcity of resolve to make it happen.

What Our Clients Say About Us


I tripled my revenue since we started working together...you’re like my conscience but you do it in such a nice gentle way that I can take it.

-- David Herman, Web Marketing 4 Dentists

"Establishing a business coaching relationship  with you is one of the best investments I’ve made in my business and personal development to-date.

In a short period of time, you helped me realized it was long-since time to drop one of my most energy-intensive and least profitable clients.  I can’t TELL you how happy I am to finally be free from what had become a very difficult situation.

At the same time, you helped me to identify my next areas of business focus and to take fast action that’s resulted in immediate return.  In a very short period of time, I increased my income by 35%!  And most importantly, I’m now positioned for even more rapid growth.

I’m enjoying my business again and am looking forward to what’s next!

If a prospective client wants a business coach recommendation, please don’t hesitate to have them call me."

-- Lawrence Mortenson, LM Consulting

Kris was tremendously effective as a personal coach.  I found her to be very pragmatic and emotionally supportive during our sessions.  When I met Kris, I had recently returned to the U.S. from a year-long travel sabbatical after 20 years in the corporate world.  She helped me successfully navigate the transition back to life in California and to a more satisfying and fulfilling job.  Her approach is straightforward, pragmatic, emotionally honest, and results-oriented.  I highly recommend her!

-- Steve Sayre, Ingram Book Publishers, San Francisco CA

I began coaching with Alan Roby eight months ago. At the time, I knew exactly where I was in life, doing pretty well in most areas. Nevertheless, I had a desire to improve my life in the areas of business, personal finance and physical fitness.

During each meeting (call), I commit to the amount of progress I need to make in each area by the time of our next meeting. This accountability is a key part of why coaching works. Alan also helps me work through issues that come up each week, keeping me on track. As a bonus, I always feel energized after our meeting, encouraged to accomplish just a little extra that evening.

Where am I now? Revenue from my real estate appraisal business has more than doubled, and I have added three full-time employees (in a slow market!).  My personal finances are now detailed and automated on Microsoft Money with automatic transfers to a retirement investment account.  I now hit the gym regularly and happily and have improved my diet. My energy and mood are better than ever. I believe physical health and vitality are basic to achieving my other goals.

I highly recommend Alan Roby and Bill Baren Coaching.

-- Murray Berg, MBA Appraisal, Valencia, CA

Since I started working with Kris 4 months ago, my life has completely turned around.The results that I am producing today have exceeded my expectations...I would recommend her to anyone that is open to being coached.

-- Matt Hudson, West Palm Beach, FL

I want to thank you for everything -- all your inspiration and encouragement. I have greatly benefited from our work together. You showed me that it is possible to live a life I want, to believe in myself deeper and to trust at a level that I didn’t know before.

-- Darshana Weill, Fruition Health CEO

I have had the pleasure of being coached by Bill for a number of months...he's a great listener...he has a gifted ability to isolate the issues that are holding you back.

-- Wendell Loyd, Cord Blood Registry

Kris,

Thank you so much – for everything. It’s hard to believe that we’ve only known each other for a little over 8 months.

Deciding to work with you as my coach was/is definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.  By being willing to reveal your own real Self to me – especially your vulnerable stuff, you’ve demonstrated (better than any exercises or concepts or processes could do) what it means and what it takes to “choose” the life that we’re ultimately meant to live. 

You’ve been a great friend and a fabulous coach – I’m very grateful!  You give me the courage to continue.  It’s so obvious that You certainly have found your true calling – and that makes me feel so hopeful and optimistic about my own journey. 

Love and Gratitude,

Jean

-- Jean, JMD Research & Consulting, Chicago

Bill has helped me to understand and work with my relationships, be they personal or business, in a way that encouraged positive development and change in these areas. Bill is a compassionate, honest, and dedicated coach. I always left a session with more confidence.

-- Bill Davis, Bill Davis Photography

I came to Bill to work with him on the Wavemaker when I was professionally blocked. I was having a particularly hard time bringing in revenue, and was losing faith. Unbelievably, after one session I had a break through a few nights later that led to two of the best quarters of my career! I was amazed to see such tangible results so quickly - truly blown away!

-- Holly, Oakland, CA

When I started working with Alan, I had been considering a major life project, but it was just a concept and I was unsure whether it was what I really wanted.  Working with Alan helped me realize that it was what I truly wanted.  Our coaching also helped me get clear on the details and what my next steps were as I got to work on making the project a reality.  Having the accountability to a coach provided an extra jolt of energy that helped keep me moving through the ups and downs.  I'm sure the project would not have happened as smoothly or quickly without the coaching, and it might not have happened at all!

-- Stephen Held, Davis, CA

What can I say, except that your insight and guidance has been phenomenal. You have supported me through some tough times, and helped me to focus my energies in ways that both help me heal and build my business. You have an incredible ability to see through to the real issues instead of just dealing at the surface...not always fun, but always helpful and sometimes profound! I believe that you have helped me build my business at a rate much, much faster than I could have ever done alone - probably cut out a year or two of trial and error, and wandering around. I can't thank you enough for your knowledge and wisdom. I look forward to working with you more in the future as we continue to walk this journey together!

-- Ann Ranson

The power of your intuition entered the depths of my soul, felt the pain of my existence and had gently guided me past the fire towards the soft light of my being. I want to express love and gratitude for your presence in this world, for your guidance in my life and the lives of your other clients - past, present and future.

-- Tim Eakins, Ikenzu Gardens

Bill has been a fantastic personal resource. He has an uncanny ability to get to the heart of my challenge. Having Bill question my current views/line of thinking so that I can step back and look at things from a different perspective, has been a huge catalyst for the phenomenal growth of my business. I wholehearted recommend Bill Baren business coaching services.

-- Mike Cooch, Everon Virtual IT
