Don Sardella Institute for Leadership
Development, LLC. He is awesome...Best of all
he is not a silver tongue in a silk suit.
He is a life coach as well as a business
coach and will help you to seek the needed
balance between the two. The best, a must
have!
J.P. - Scottsdale, AZ, in response to
a very well-respected colleague's inquiry
About three years ago I became a client
of Don's, and the decision to hire him
as a coach was one of the single best
business decisions of my 20-year career.
The improvements that Don
helped me to achieve in my business led
directly to an even higher achievement than
I imagined, when one of the most successful
senior brokers in our office invited me
to become his business partner a year ago.
At that point, Don then became instrumental
in helping our partnership succeed. My production
has more than doubled, and my personal and
professional satisfaction have soared.
Don possesses a unique
combination of logic and intuition that
are rare in any human being, let alone a
Business Coach. He is able to listen so
well that he immediately zeros in on the
heart of the issue, and then has a wealth
of experience and information to apply directly
and quickly. He doesn't let you hide from
the hard work that's needed, but he gives
you a clear map and keeps you on track in
defining the small steps as well as the
big picture. Best of all, he instills you
with a sense of confidence that makes you
strive harder than you believed you could.

When we first began working together, I
noticed that so much of your approach with
me entailed a “life” perspective instead
of the “work” perspective. I have always
admired and appreciated your understanding
that in order to improve the work aspect
of a person's life you have to focus on
the “total” picture...
...So much of the things
we have worked have been common sense, yet
it has required your fresh perspective to
bring things into focus. That focus has
been instrumental in my career. It helped
me develop a platform that allowed me double
my production between 1998 and 2000, and
subsequently get “noticed” enough to get
the offer to go into management.
Your coaching has always
been helpful. You have been a wealth of
advice, a willing sounding board, and a
source of accountability for me. It is nice
to work with someone who shows genuine interest
in my personal and career development. I
have received a tremendous amount of value
from the time that we have worked together
and your expert guidance. I would recommend
you to anyone. I know I have benefited from
the relationship and plan on letting it
develop even further.

Two years after my completion of the six-month
program with Don, I had doubled my commissions
while taking a more active role as the sales
manager in my branch. Recently, I accepted
the role of Branch Manager in my branch
of 35 Financial Consultants and have engaged
the services of Don Sardella again to help
guide me though this next phase of my career.
Additionally, I have been on a regular exercise
program for three years, resulting in a
higher energy level.
Don Sardella's ability
to help his clients focus on daily, actionable
tasks while at the same time, drive them
towards the bigger goals and desires in
their lives is what sets him apart. He does
so with great passion and enthusiasm that
is highly contagious.

We did increase our production considerably
over the one and two year period during
and following working with Don. In fact,
over the past 5 years, we have grown the
production of this business from approximately
$1,000,000 gross revenue to $3,000,000.
Additionally, the fee-based
business accounted for approximately 30%
of the revenue in 1995, now that figure
is double or 70%. More importantly, fee-based
business is our focus and it allows us to
effectively manage larger pools of assets.
Finally, I have become a better manager
and accordingly, my staff is more capable
than ever given their acceptance of responsibility.
I have removed myself from many of the facets
of this business, which allows me to pursue
new business opportunities, but I also manage
to take 8 weeks off a year to balance my
life with my personal interests.
