"Steve has an uncanny ability to help me work through things or offer perspective and insight to get me back on track. At first Steve and I talked a lot about work and my specific work related challenges. No matter how hard or bad things were, he was able to help me find the positive and focus on that rather than beating myself up over the negative or the things I could not change. After several sessions something happened. I found myself bringing up more personal issues to discuss -- the changes associated with my becoming a parent, the death of my father, as well as some personal soul searching. Having Steve coaching me has enabled me to deal with these events in a way that no other could have. Steve continues to help and challenge me to become better in all aspects of my life. I have made some significant breakthroughs and I look forward to the journey that lies ahead.” David Iglehart Sales Representative Sports Medicine Medical Devices |

| “When I needed to get indoctrinated into the world of Medical Device sales and Pharmaceutical sales, Steve, like the best cream, rose to the top. He went out of his way to call me from his home on a Friday evening, and delayed his dinner plans with his wife, and literally gave me all of his years of experience, wisdom, and input, and distilled it down to me over the course of a rather lengthy phone call. Furthermore, Steve then sent me a follow up email, making sure I got everything that we had went over on our phone call, detailing the key take-aways. While it is great to have someone with such knowledge, it is even better to have someone that has such a passion for the industry, that goes way above and beyond, the concept of "helping someone".

"Many pretend to listen. Few do. Many pretend to put the client first. Few do. Steve has demonstrated to me that he is a listener who looks for his client's true needs and addresses those needs without regard for what's in it for him. He's an excellent public speaker and communicator. And, in this internet world we all meet in but don't always get to know each other, Steve is a person you can trust.” Chris John Amorosino Owner Amorosino Writing, LLC |

To me, taking care of oneself is a holy practice and wellness coaching is part of what I see myself doing moving forward. As a result of our time together, I re-connected with the passion that drove me into personal fitness training in the first place. Again, many thanks for your time, wisdom, and insight!"

"Steve Porcaro spoke at the South Windsor Chamber of Commerce 2208 Booming Business Expo. Steve was terrific. He was informational, entertaining and fun. It was just what we had hoped for. He highlighted the need for us to be a community and act in community so that we could all gain. It was a great message, especially in these hard times.
What I liked most about Steve's presentation was that he connected with the audience and wasn't just another talking head. He engaged us in answering questions and participating in little experiments.
I would recommend Steve for your next meeting with out hesitation."

"I was a cynic. I could not believe that this young man could possibly help me discover untapped resources or help me map a new direction for my life. Steve quickly won me over. He never told me what I should do. Rather, he helped me fashion a roadmap that works for me – with my schedule, my responsibilities and limitations."
