I once thought leadership was something reserved for others – something you stepped into only once someone else declared you ready.

In our conversations, Quinn created a space that was at once steady and spacious, where every emotion I brought was met with clarity, care, and an uncommon attentiveness to language and energy.

His presence helped me listen inward with new attention and begin to mend the parts of myself I had long dismissed.

Through that partnership, I recognized the leader that had been forming in me long before I dared to name it. Working with Quinn revealed a depth I hadn’t known how to access – with a gentleness that still manages to illuminate truth.

Working with you has been a transformative experience. You have taught me to integrate all parts of myself and given me tools that allow me to fully show up — both personally and organizationally. I’ve become more reflective about what I want to achieve in adverse situations and clearer on why certain dynamics trigger me. I discovered that I am deeply values-led and purpose-driven, and you helped me see that when challenges arise, the path forward is to recover first to purpose, and then to self.

One of the most profound lessons I’ve learned is that when I find myself in complaint, it often signals an unmet need — and that I must be courageous enough to ask for that need to be met. In this process, I’ve also reconnected with the essence of Fortitude — the commitment to reach forward while extending my hand to bring others along, and to learn to stand not toe-to-toe but shoulder-to-shoulder with those I lead and love- inviting them to lead and love with me. That image (Fortitude) captures how your coaching has expanded my capacity as a leader, a healer, and a whole person.

I've had multiple opportunities to participate in one-on-one coaching sessions throughout my career, but none of them have been more effective or memorable than my coaching sessions with Quinn. I've had other coaches where I felt like I was just another appointment on the calendar, another item on their to do list, so I treated the sessions the same way and really got nothing out of them. That was never the case with Quinn-he was always present in the moment and nudged me from the beginning.

Throughout our coaching sessions, Quinn was able to create a safe space. I could open up and allow myself to be vulnerable. This combination of vulnerability, being present in the moment, and trusting Quinn's process resulted in an incredible journey of self-exploration and personal growth. I would highly recommend working with Quinn!

Quinn spent months with me dissecting my behavior and communication and he challenged the emotional and mental state that I brought to work. He helped me be more honest with myself about some of the internal dialogues I was having, and how those dialogues were affecting how I show up to the job. He's a master at asking me the tough questions I had avoided asking myself, and then calling BS on my answers when I didn't dig deep enough, all while maintaining a safe space.

I had tried to work with other executive coaches before. None of them, particularly those that were White, could even understand the complicated dynamics of being a Black man navigating majority White corporate spaces. As a African American man doing the same thing he understood my fears, experiences, and most importantly my past scars, and he helped me put that dimension of my problem in a really helpful perspective.

I reached out to Quinn after experiencing emotional and mental pain over an issue that I had been dealing with for years through therapy and coaching. While therapy and coaching did provide some relief, I always felt like there was something stuck - like energy was blocked around this topic that I couldn't move alone. I knew I wanted to try energy work, but I wasn't sure where to start until I heard about Quinn's energy medicine services.

During our sessions, Quinn knew and felt things about my energy that I had never shared with him. He sensed and moved energy in my body even though we are thousands of miles away and multiple time zones away from each other. Quinn also found and called in a part of me that I had forgotten about. Through my work with Neil, this part felt safe enough to come out not only around the topic I was dealing with but also in other parts of my life.

I'm eternally grateful for my sessions with Quinn and how they healed this part of me. While this issue is still part of my life, it's something I can handle with the waves of life versus always feeling like it is a fight. If you're looking to dramatically shift something in your life that's been causing you stress or pain, I highly recommend working with Quinn and his powerful energy medicine.

Quinn, as my system Coach Supervisor held a serene & safe space to deep-dive into the coaching experience, reveal shadows & potential underneath the circumstance. My experience of Quinn’s supervision is calm，grounded, curious, clean & clear. Therefore I received many self-awareness (gifts) from Quinn's Super-Vision.

— Vivi Tian, CPCC, ORSCC, PCC, CNTC, Leadership & Systems Coach

For more than 5 years my sleep was disturbed by violent, involuntary surges of energy in my body – arms and legs shaking, head swivelling; all for no apparent reason; and very disruptive for my sleep and rest.

In four sessions, working 5,000 miles apart via Zoom,  this gentle, gifted man has rid me of the problem. It has stopped altogether.

I still cannot quite believe it. It is hard for me to express just how amazed and grateful I am to Quinn for what he has done for me.

Quinn built a strong alliance with the team and, more importantly, emphasized the importance of connection. He helped the team understand their roles within the system and how they were interdependent. The intimate, personal nature of his coaching allowed him to form deep, authentic relationships with each team member, which was key to fostering trust and vulnerability.

Quinn created an atmosphere where conflict was addressed without judgment, ensuring that everyone’s perspectives were heard. He didn’t shy away from tough conversations; instead, he encouraged the team to look beneath the surface, identify underlying issues, and work through them to move the team forward.

Thanks to Quinn’s guidance, the team was able to break free from years of unhealthy systemic patterns and cultivate a culture they wanted. His ability to create a safe, trusting space while addressing difficult topics allowed the team to take action and move forward. The impact of his coaching was profound. The team now operates as a unified group, leaning into trust and vulnerability. They are more positive, efficient, and no longer shy away from conflict. Instead, they now see conflict as an opportunity to address needs and move forward together.

This experience was transformative for our team.

When Quinn and I were introduced to each other, I was at a point in my career where I was seeking to grow from being an excellent practitioner – primarily focused on particular clients and projects – to being someone who also was a purposeful leader and an essential colleague. I wanted to build towards my personal success, of course, and I also wanted very much to become a more capable and effective support to my firm as an institution, my colleagues, and our clients. 

I needed to reflect deeply and honestly about myself, my tendencies, what I’m good at and comfortable with, and what I’m not – and then to map that back onto career ambitions and many complex relationships. That’s not an easy task!

Working through all that with Quinn was a pleasure. He cultivates a way of being rather than focusing on what amounts to mere tips and tricks. Together, we developed tools and habits of mind that I now use across the wide range of relationships, opportunities, and setbacks that I encounter. It’s like having a compass that I can use over and over again to move with purpose through unfamiliar and changing territory.

I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Quinn through very trying times for our justice system. Together we tackled the issues involving race equity in the prosecution setting and we did so in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder and through the January 6 insurrection. As the elected Solicitor (D.A.), having a coach I could trust with such complex and difficult discussions was paramount. Neil speaks volumes with only a few words. He has an uncanny ability to lead with understatement. Over our time together, Quinn not only earned my trust, he earned my respect.

From our first session to the last, Quinn was able to provide a mix of insight, listening, and wisdom that helped me identify areas of blindspots I'd never had to examine and, in doing so, helped me to become a better leader - the kind of leader that I wanted to become but wasn't sure how to be. Quinn connects the dots with relevant examples, practical suggestions on actions to take that were immediately applicable and effective in a work setting, and a spacious and loving presence that allowed me to go at my own pace but without ever taking the easy way out.
