I have been supported by several professional coaches in my career - but Joel's empathetic and practical approach was refreshing and enlightening. As a new CEO of a start-up - I was challenged with issues including an over-involved founder and an undesirable slip into a family-based business model. Joel's expert perspective and experience with this exact circumstance enabled me to keep things in perspective while I attempted to establish necessary boundaries and assert required control as the company's hired leader. I found Joel to be accessible, responsive and insightful - and relied on his counsel heavily during a most challenging time. You cannot go wrong with such a partner in your court, and I recommend him without reserve to support any executive with his objective, experienced advice.

I have been working with Joel for several months now and I can attest that he provides high quality business coaching. During our sessions we not only discuss the nuts and bolts of marketing, networking and website development, but also delve deep into specific psychological weakness and strength points. As a result of our sessions, my confidence, networking skills and performance have improved significantly. Joel has a very agreeable manner and is easy to work with. He has a clear vision for my professional development and a lot of great ideas on how to improve. He is enthusiastic and gives advice specifically targeted towards attorneys like me.

I've had the pleasure and privilege to be coached by Dr. Joel and to observe him coaching: he is truly a master coach. He has an enormous amount of experience and insight to bring to the coaching relationship. He is incredibly warm, caring and rigorous in helping coachees to see and move past their blocks and negative mental models. I trust his expertise completely and recommend him very, very highly.

I have worked with Dr. Siegel over several years now through the Professional Mentors, Advisors and Coaches (PMAC) organization in Orange County. I have found him to be focused on providing the best possible mentoring to his clients as well as being open and sharing with his colleagues. I highly recommend Joel to any person seeking wise counsel in personal or business growth.

Joel has been extremely valuable in coaching me through numerous changes in my professional environment, including two acquisitions of my company and navigating the complex M&A environment and building relationships with key players. He has been a tremendous help in my role and his coaching has also been relevant to my personal life. I highly recommend him.

His coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all; he tailors his strategies to the unique needs of each business and leader, ensuring measurable growth and lasting results. If you're a CEO or business owner looking for high-level executive coaching and strategic guidance, I highly recommend Joel Siegel, PhD, and Executive Leadership Services. His expertise is a game-changer for any organization striving for excellence.

I worked with Joel Siegel for over 3 years as he taught me leadership skills to work in a family owned business. He brought other skills to the table such as marketing, communication, human resources to name a few. Family businesses are very unique and face many different problems that normal businesses do not. Joel was there to help lay a foundation for the future. We continue to stay in contact and give each other updates.

The coaching experience with Joe Siegel has been profoundly enriching and enlightening in terms of my personal and leadership development. With his relevant background, real world experience in business management and years of coaching other executives, Joel has the capacity to understand the human tendencies and organizational dynamics which helps me seek clarity in the midst of complexity and tackle tough challenges in my career journey. Joel’s warmly human understanding and remarkable memory coupled with an admirable sense of humor invigorate the coaching conversations and elicit in me the desire to recognize my foibles and generate actions to cultivate new habits. His ability to foster and nurture trust creates the level of comfort that is conducive to my learning and challenges me to question my predilections, communication approach, assumptions and beliefs. Joel's capacity to bring fresh perspectives, to infuse wisdom and insights into the coaching dialogues impel me to think strategically and focus on my vision and my values in confronting tough issues. The meaningful coaching conversations with Joe Siegel have helped provoke much learning, reflection and deepen my aspiration to continually seek and generate wisdom in my lifelong learning journey.

I have a business live painting weddings and came to Joel about 1 1/2 years ago when I was stressed and overwhelmed. My packages were vague and as a result I often found myself engaged in long and seemingly never ending loops of revisions and requests from clients. Joel helped me re-frame my offerings in a way that both reduced the chaos and increased the income. The first year implementing his suggestions was my most easeful and profitable year so far, which is saying a lot considering I've been doing this for 15 years! I can't recommend Joel highly enough. He really took the time to understand my business AND my needs as an artist. Though the business side isn't my strong suit, I feel confident Joel has my back and is there to offer new perspectives and approaches. I recently got in touch regarding 2020 pricing and offerings and was delighted to work with him once again. I can't wait to implement the changes and keep moving my business in a positive direction.

As a Head of Human Resources, I had the opportunity to engage Joel for executive coaching services. Joel was brought in to work with key executives during a time of significant change and transformation. In other words, key leaders needed to develop new skills to support the changing organization. Joel was able to expertly assess, and then provide support and practical tools, that helped each individual, resulting in noticeable enhancements and development and key skills. His adeptness to have honest, and caring conversations, and then combine that with targeting coaching, are a unique combination, making him extraordinarily effective in the area of executive coaching. I would welcome the chance to work with Joel again! He's a powerful and strategic asset to any individual executive or entire leadership team.

I had the pleasure of working with Joel Siegel for a 2 year engagement in which Joel was tasked to use his expertise to help me refine my interpersonal communication skills within our organization and effectively enhance my sales and management skills. Joel used his keen insights and a professional demeanor to provide guidance in many areas that have greatly enhanced my career and impacted me on a personal level as well. I am grateful for all of the advice and inspiration Joel imparted on me as my mentor, coach and confidante and I would wholeheartedly recommend his services for executives at any level of their careers.

I wanted to write a sincere thank you and recommendation for Joel. Through his personal coaching, I was able to navigate the complex road of starting a business, hire fantastic staff, and avoid several pitfalls. I would not be where I am with my company without Joel. I highly recommend his services for any business that is growing, adapting to market changes, and negotiating internal transitions of authority.
