“I met with Coach Harlan on the advice of a colleague who is also a client of his. On our initial visit, Coach Harlan said, “give me 60 minutes and I’ll give you back 6 to 8 hours in your week.” I can say that has been more than true. He’s walked me through quite a few techniques for time management, stress management, as well as operational guidelines. In the time that we’ve been working together, not only do I get more accomplished in my day, but my blood pressure has also decreased and I’m enjoying what I do more and more. Coach Harlan’s duties go well above and beyond the time he spends with me each week. Everyone who runs a business needs a business coach…more specifically, they need a Coach Harlan.”
