"We've had the best business coaching experience with Coach Hess. Coach goes above and beyond, fully invested and committed to the success of any team he works with. It has truly been a pleasure working with Coach Hess. He inspires and empowers our League Health team to be accountable for the success of the organization.

"Working with Coach Hess has been a huge game changer for my business. Coach Hess's business coaching has gotten my business moving on the path to profitability and clarity on financial performance. I recommend Coach Hess to anyone at any stage in their business journey."
Thomas Williams
"Working with Coach Hess is an experience you don't want to miss out on, and his talents span beyond just being able to coach your business. The lanes of communication he was able to open up for my family through the use of a personality assessment tool designed for kids, have been amazing and hugely beneficial. My children have had a ton of fun learning more about themselves and how their natural styles impact their interactions with others, and Coach Hess was able to bring this all to life for us. He's one of the most genuine people you'll meet, and I can confidently say you'll not only learn a lot while working with him, but will also have a lot of fun at the same time!"

"When I first started action coach, I didn't know what to expect- and was a bit sceptical although I had some previous conversation with coach Hess-and instantly knew he was a man of character. His program is very well structured, and designed to drive a business owner to success by developing structure, habits, and financial tracking. The marketing techniques I was taught were effective and a blinding flash of the obvious(which I never would've noticed without coaching).
Coach Hess is a natural, insightful, and genuine instructor willing to become actively involved with his students at a personal level. Above and beyond is a term that comes to mind.
I would recommend Greg to any business owner, new or experienced who is interested in reaching the next level.
Thanks Coach."

Thank you Coach Hess!"
Carly Vahldiek
"Coach Hess has opened new doorways of communication for our family, by allowing us to participate in the pilot program for children. After our kids answered a few, easy questions, we were able to our children’s personalities on paper. The reports were spot on and having Coach Hess come and review our reports with the children, really brought all key communication factors into light for each individual. He is warm, friendly and a confident motivator. The kids absolutely enjoyed having Coach Hess explain their reports to them and were incredibly surprised at how accurate they were. It motivated them to try different methods of communication and conflict resolutions. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone with children to try this program out once it is available to everyone, it will change your family communication and relationships for the better!"
Josh Frazier

From the first intro class I attended to the onsite one on one coaching Coach Hess has proven solutions that work."

James Parker

There is no doubt that he has achieved this perfect blend in his own life. Part of his life’s purpose is to help others ignite their passion, grow their talents and increase their competence. When he commits to you, it is 200%. His laser-like focus has been a blessing to me in helping to clearly identify my opportunities and solve thorny problems that move my organization forward.

Rick Palagi
Hospital CEO (retired)
"Coach, thank you so much for today’s session! Two of my three clients that I needed to do the “challenge directly” with responded favorably. The third hasn’t responded and that’s probably because she’s busy. Also, I do my pro bono advising with the Women’s Business Center on Tuesdays and just had two phenomenal consultations today. One I was able to convert into a paid client. But, both were so thankful and appreciative of my advice that I couldn’t get them off the phone they kept wanting to praise me so much. Coach, thank you because you empowered me today!"
Rick Vargas
Management Consulting Firm Owner
"Coach Hess brought our team together by learning how we communicate. Both as a team and with our customers. Team walked away all smiles and were energized."
