This has helped me become a better leader, mentor, spouse, and father. I have loved every moment working with Tri."- S. Mirsky, CLO & Sr. VP of Pacific Rim Capital

Leitman, CEO RockSteady & Killer Concepts Inc.

"I have been working with Tri Nguyen for three years now, and the impact on both my business life and my personal life has been remarkable. Tri has a unique ability to truly listen, and then to ask the right questions to help me find the right solution myself rather than just giving me a roadmap. This has resulted in me looking at opportunities differently, and in many cases to solve issues before even discussing them with her. She also facilitates an executive council group I participate in, and her guided discussion toward practical solutions to the issues of a group of CEOs is especially dynamic. Tri has made herself an irreplaceable part of my life, and I am eternally grateful for her leadership. She has my highest recommendation!"- J. Fisher, CEO Capital Financial Group Show less

Michaels, CEO MLG Attorneys At Law

"Amazing coach, business advisor and personal development guru! Tri has been an integral part of my business and personal success. I would be lost without her. Her high level of business acumen and ability to get to the heart of the matter is incredible.

She has the ability to really help you look deep into the issue at hand and provide the clarity to find solutions you were not able to see otherwise. In addition, she is continuously challenging me to be my best while reinforcing the leadership skills required to be a true leader of my company. I would recommend Tri to every business owner.

The main characteristic that embodies all traits below is INTENTIONALITY. Everything she does has purpose and her efforts in working with me have been life changing."

Nonjudgmental – Tri is intentional about not judging anything I say when we have our coaching sessions. She is always available to chat with me on the phone and provides me a safe space to be raw. She doesn’t laugh at some of my stupid issues… she doesn’t criticize me… she allows me to be transparent and raw about all issues.

Direct Communication – Tri is intentional about being direct in her communication. She is compassionate and understanding, but always drives to the heart of each issue. She has a way of digging deep into your soul to flush out the real issue. It’s a soft and gentle approach, with a backing of directness that allows me to look at my issues and the world differently. This allows me to have real personal and professional growth.

Passion – Tri is intentional about showing her passion for helping others. You can tell when speaking with her that her life’s mission is to serve others. She is passionate about her work, passionate about her groups, and passionate about building relationships with those she coaches. This passion was evident to me in the first two minutes when we first met.

Empathetic / Understanding – Tri is intentional about being empathetic towards my personal and business issues. She can feel the emotions I am going through, which helps her understand my needs, and then coaches me out of it. I have come to her pretty stressed and upset, and she was very understanding of my situation, felt what I felt, and then pulled me through it. Show less

Innovative / Creative – Tri is intentional about having brainstorming sessions with me that yields some very creative and innovative ideas. She looks at issues from different angles and has provided me and my business some great ideas that have helped us build a stronger foundation, be more efficient, and helped us grow.
