Testimonials

"James Knopf is brilliant at the coaching thing, plus he is empathetic and funny which was an immense help when he brought me through a career crisis and onto a new and unexpected path. I sought him out when I thought all I needed was some advice on how to handle a Difficult Personality at the office--just a matter of finding out what I was doing wrong and then refocusing or redirecting my efforts. And James did help me to tackle the problem head-on and try to find a workable solution. He listened as I explored the situation aloud and he asked the critical questions, most of which put the issue into new and fresh perspectives. At the same time--and this is the brilliant part--he had me examine what else was going on in my life that might be feeding into the problem at work, and gently but insistently he had me to ask myself what I really wanted for an outcome. In the end my decision was that I didn't want to work for a Difficult Personality--even with the coping strategies I had put together with James' help. What a surprise! What a relief!! It was so simple, but I don't think I could have easily gotten there on my own. I recommend James Knopf enthusiastically and without reservation."

Research Director / Conde Naste, NYC

"I've always been a person with good ideas and lots of energy but, as I've recently learned, I needed guidance on how to focus my energies in just the right way, at the right time. Working closely with Jimmy Knopf over the past year has made a tremendous difference. I've written two plays, lots of music, and I'm now workings with a director/producer to, finally, change my dream into reality... Thank you, Jimmy!!"

Physical Therapist/Writer

"In just a very short time, James Knopf helped me to really take a look at the different parts of my life that I avoided. He was key in helping me focus and prioritize. With his coaching and encouragement, I developed career goals. He helped me to make very positive changes in my personal life as well. Thanks James."

Roberta Ash

Personal Trainer / Mother, Long Island, NY

"Making the decision to work with James made a tremendous difference in the direction my life has taken over the past 2 years. His insightful input and the feedback he provided me with allowed me to see my situation from a new perspective. He gave me a weekly structure where I could think about what I wanted and he motivated me to execute actions necessary to meet my goals. My favorite part was that we didn't focus on problems; James kept me focused on what could be done to build my business in a more positive capacity. I found myself acting rather than reacting to my life. James' style offered me a great structure for change to take place!"

Kenneth Maxwell Elchert

Massage Therapist / Actor, NYC

"Working with James Knopf enabled me to expand my business as a personal trainer in a number of ways. Through several exercises and small tasks, James helped me learn how to ask for things in a way I never thought possible. This asking process led me to initiate meetings with people I never imagined I could ever work with; all in a relatively short period of time. In addition, his intuitive guidance helped me tap into and recapture other passions and priorities in my life that I had neglected over the years. Thank you James for helping me believe that anything is possible if your willing to put yourself on the line and just ask for it."

Ken Alverez, MA

Personal Trainer

"James Knopf has definitely gotten me unstuck and onto a new path. I was at a crossroads professionally and needed some fresh, innovative ideas and focus on how to make a career change- I just didn't know how to go about making that happen. From our very first session, James helped me to establish new values and to reaffirm old ones, to improve on my strengths and help me to realize new ones, and to clarify a new personal vision- a vision that included delegating responsibilities and asking for things in my life. With James' clarity and personal attention to my specific needs and goals, I have successfully found a balance between my career in Real Estate and the thrill of starting my own company. I live and work with a newfound passion! Thanks to James, I've been able to pinpoint exactly what I wanted and to make it happen!"
