Jonathan Flaks has provided insightful coaching for me in my career planning and job search as well as invaluable leadership counsel in the first several months after I landed my position. Jonathan helped me view situations and opportunities from a creative perspective. He has a unique style that goes beyond the typical “by the book” practices and offers very compelling and interactive sessions in bringing out the best in his clients. I would highly recommend him for personal and business engagements.

"His guidance was invaluable."
Jonathan has been a huge help to me with my job search. His guidance was invaluable in regard to rewriting my resume and suggesting creative ways for me to seek new work.

"Jonathan is a dynamic, insightful, and inspirational coach."
Jonathan is a dynamic, insightful, and inspirational coach. He has a genuine and unbridled enthusiasm plus an uncanny ability to turn negatives into positives. During our work together, I often found myself amazed that he was able to help me turn what I believed to be a dead-end into a great opportunity.
I came to Jonathan because the notion of marketing myself was a relatively new one for me. Before starting my business over six years ago, I rarely needed to get “out there” and drum up business on my own. His efforts have helped me do just that and become even more well-known and recognized as an expert in my field.
Anyone looking for a caring, personable, and passionate business partner to help them navigate the treacherous waters of the small business world could do no better than go directly to Jonathan Flaks.

"As a result of our conversations, I have seen clear improvement."
Over the past few months, Jonathan and I have been sharing our tasks and action steps in order to achieve our goals / improve successful outcomes. As a result of our conversations, I have seen a clear improvement in production and achievement. As a result of implementing recommendations and suggestions from Jonathan, I have seen my production increase from 4 loan applications a month to 6 applications per month. I have also increased my success rate in uncovering potential new hire candidates.
Jonathan recommended that I use specific self-affirmations geared towards recruitment and this has resulted in hiring 2 qualified individuals over the past 2 months. I am very thankful and appreciative of Jonathan's knowledge and insights. Jonathan is a talented Business Coach and I can easily recommend his services to all who desire to improve their business.
