| "I would like to offer a testimonial on behalf of Kale Evans. Roughly three years ago I had the pleasure to meet Kale at a professional networking event. In my role at that time as President, US Operations for Pitney Bowes Management Services, I was in the process of identifying executive coaches to assist with a leadership development program I was sponsoring within Pitney Bowes. The program was geared toward high potential women and people of color. Although the program was postponed, I was impressed enough with Kale to ask him to serve as my executive coach. In all sincerity, I was blown away with the insights, counsel, and coaching I received from Kale. His ability to quickly identify both professional and interpersonal opportunities for growth was amazing.
These coaching sessions were instrumental in my being able to transition into an executive level role at Supervalu, and to be named a Director on the board of WMS Industries. To this day, I still consider Kale the best executive coach I have had the pleasure of working with, and have recommended him to several of my colleagues." |

| "As a professor of leadership, speaker and coach for executives and business students, I have the pleasure of engaging many colleagues in the coaching and speaking field. Few are as insightful and practical as Kale. His experience as a business leader, married with his strategic insight and ability discern root causes of a leader's success challenges, make Kale one of the best coaches in the business. If you want a coach or speaker who will cut to the chase and provide what you really need for continued success - call Kale." |

"I can honestly say that it never felt like I was being coached, it felt as if we were two friends having conversations and you were providing advice. This style made it much easier for me to absorb guidance and really let it sync in, as opposed to me saying, “oh no, I need to have my coaching sessions again…” My career at Pfizer, is a perfect example of how successful Kale’s style is because when Kale and I first started our coaching sessions, I was a Manager for the Managed Care group at Pfizer and had no Team Leadership experience at Pfizer. Fast forward to later, and I have gone through about five or six promotions including becoming Team Leader and moving to different parts of the organization. Kale’s words of wisdom have always kept me grounded and have been an inspiration to me as I’ve looked to my future within Pfizer and where my skills sets could add the most value. Most recently, I was promoted to Senior Director, Retail Generics Solid Oral Dose (SOD) for the Western European region, which today includes 16 markets, soon to be 21. When Kale and I first started our coaching sessions, this is exactly the type of role we spoke about, and it is really great to have achieved this great accomplishment. Kale is truly a tremendous coach and I highly recommend to any individual and / or organization to establish a coaching relationship with him.
Again, I want to sincerely thank Kale for giving me the opportunity to receive his coaching. It has helped me tremendously, both, professionally and personally." |

| "Kale Evans was my executive coach throughout 2011. It was a great pleasure working with Kale and I feel I really benefited both in the short term and long term through my coaching interactions with Kale. He brings an individual customer focused approach to the table. Kale spent a significant amount of time understanding me personally, my current strengths, and the views of others. He then tailored our coaching sessions to my unique needs. He used a great combination of personal warmth, friendly discussion style backed by a wealth of practical experience and theoretical knowledge to help me in my personal and professional development. He consistently challenged me and always backed me with his support." |

| "Kale was able to pinpoint the critical areas where I needed to focus, and he customized an effective performance improvement program. One of the keys to our successful collaboration was his willingness to consider my style and my strengths – I was able to naturally incorporate his strategies into my day-to-day activities, and interactions with co-workers. Plus, he’s focused on improvements that provide long-term benefit. It’s an upbeat, positive experience to work with Kale." |

| "Kale's passion for success, knowledge, attitude, empathy and high ethical standards were all evident when I recruited Kale. I was greatly impressed as I observed him continuing to produce outstanding results even in the face of adversity. He is a true professional and top performer. Over the last 20 years, I have had the opportunity to see Kale add the wisdom and knowledge that can only come with greater life experiences. Instead of being a person on my staff, today I am honored to refer to Kale as a trusted friend. I now turn to him for his sage advice. He never disappoints." |
