“Adrian is a natural coach. He quickly tunes into what it is that you want to achieve and holds you to it with compassion and understanding. His laid back style and sense of humor always made for a fun coaching session no matter what the subject. I also appreciate his honesty and commitment to moving me in the direction that I want to go.” – JL, 27, Project Manager, SAP
“I wish there were more Adrian's out there. If everyone could have an Adrian in their life I think that a lot of people would be 'found' and the world would be a better place. My path led to Adrian and he is helping me find one that fits for me. Adrian is a perfect fit for a path that fits for you! Pretty much he is... well, fantastic. Period.” – LK, College Student, UC Boulder
"I had a lot of anxiety about graduating from college and choosing the next path. I didn’t want to get stuck on a track that I wouldn’t enjoy. After working with Adrian, I learned more about my personality and behavior, and what I wanted in my future. Coaching has made me less preoccupied with making mistakes and more confident that I will make good choices."

“Adrian has a rare combination of gentleness and persistence. I found his insights extremely perceptive. I almost immediately felt like I was talking with an old friend. He helped articulate issues clearly which were previously obscured in my thoughts.” – AE, Architect, San Francisco
“Adrian’s openness and natural intuitive ability make him a good coach. What makes him a great coach is the fact that you feel as though he has always been a friend.”

“Adrian's direct and straightforward style consistently focused our discussions efficiently in pursuit of my goals. He catalyzed a deeper awareness of what I really wanted in my life and how I might attain those objectives. I was surprised by how far my understanding progressed in each of our talks.” – PK, Psychiatrist, San Francisco
"I am grateful for the opportunity I had to be coached by Adrian Klaphaak, as he has honestly had a positive impact on my life. I had never used a life coach before Adrian, and before we began I was a little unsure if I actually needed any guidance and if I'd be comfortable enough with Adrian to gain anything from our conversations. Adrian has an incredible way of making people comfortable when talking to him, and I immediately felt this in our first session. He showed me that he wasn't there to tell me what do to or criticize the way I lived my life. Instead he helped me understand that only I could determine what would make me happy. Coaching was more empowering than I ever realized it could be." – NR, 24, San Francisco
