PBCA Member-Coach Testimonials
1. What I appreciated the most about the training was its
practical nature. By the end of the week you will know
how to coach because you will have done it...multiple
times. Whether it's how to coach, how to setup your
business, or how to sell coaching, you won't find a better
value for your investment.”
Michael Ayulo
Certified Professional Business Coach
The PBCA certification training
was a critical step in getting my
coaching practice started...
2. I left 55 hours of training
completely refreshed, equipped,
and ready to make a difference.
Scott King
Certified Professional Business Coach
“Having been in business for over 20 years, as
a franchisor and a franchisee, I found PBCA to
be absolutely refreshing in their approach. I
know with complete certainty that PBCA is looking to
come along side me and give me the tools to build
“MY” coaching practice.
Thank you PBCA for giving me a fresh vision for
the next decade and beyond!”
3. “Jon changed my life!
The PBCA is an amazing organization with all the tools you
will ever need to run a successful Certified Professional
Business Coaching Practice. He is THE Coach’s Coach who
will prepare you to be the best coach you can be! The best
way to describe Jon/PBCA as a Coach and a Coach’s Coach:
Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximize
their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather
than teaching them. Clients say coaching brings out their
best by helping them focus, break down tasks, and clarify
their values.

4. Jon and the PBCA over-deliver and under-
promise! Jon’s professionalism, experience
and business integrity set the foundation for a
rocket boosted lift off into the dynamic world
of coaching. The PBCA is the way to go to be
a professional business coach!”

“I have attended too many seminars,
workshops, symposiums, etc. over my
career – and have forgotten just about
every one. The PBCA training that I
attended in November 2012 will
never be forgotten. It was far
and away the best 5 ½ day training
session that I have ever attended.
Jim Publicover
Certified Professional Business Coach
6. “Jon, is a man with a huge heart for
helping people. He lives an exemplary life
of helping others. He is a very
experienced Business Coach and an
equally good trainer of coaches.
I found his coaching to be
practical, helpful, focused
and paced to the needs of
his students. I feel privileged to be
a part of the same organization as Jon.”
Jan van der Woerd
Certified Professional Business Coach
7. “After making the decision to become a coach, I hired someone to
individually train me. My coach kept referring to someone that was a very
successful business coach. I looked that person up on the internet and found
out that he was trained by an organization called the PBCA. I knew nothing
about the PBCA but I called the telephone number listed on their webpage.
Jon Denney answered the phone and one week later I was sitting in class.
That week I experienced the absolute best training of my life. The class I
was in was told at the beginning of the week that the following Monday we
would be able to go out and hit the ground running. I couldn’t believe it but
it turned out to be true. (The person that I had originally hired to coach me
told me that I would be ready to start coaching in maybe six months.) The
knowledge and training I received that week was amazing! I would certainly
recommend PBCA to anyone who wants to become a business coach.
There is no organization out there,
in my opinion, that can compare
to the PBCA.”
Bob Haller
Certified Professional Business Coach
8. Like me, many of our members have been in charge of businesses and larger
organizations. A lot of activity, a lot of people. When you strike out on your own, we
can feel isolated and lonely at times. When I found an “alliance” of fellow men and
women professionals like myself, that feeling was replaced with energy and lasting
relationships. We don’t compete with each other like
franchise coaches – we collaborate, share and
encourage each other to achieve greatness.
We are positioning ourselves to be the world’s
best in class independent business coaching
community globally - a really exciting time to
be part of something bigger than yourself.”

“I’ve never had the privilege of being
associated with such a gifted group of
people who are so willing to invest
in each other while promoting
the highest level of (business
coaching) professionalism and
integrity. For anyone considering a
business coaching career, the PBCA
is the place to be.
Fred Reikowsky
Certified Professional Business Coach
10. “When I was looking for this opportunity, I was glad
to find that the PBCA has some
of the most serious prerequisites
for membership of any coaching
organization in the Country.
Every prospective coach is well qualified to assist small business
owners even before they are admitted and trained as professional
business coaches.
However, no matter what your background, either as an
experienced small business owner, a leader in the corporate world
or a decreed professional, the expert training (for small business
owners/by small business owners) will take you to the next level.
You will be prepared not only to coach effectively but you will
also learn how to build a successful coaching business.”
Joe McCullum
Certified Professional Business Coach
11. “Thank you for the very authentic and valuable
training at the PBCA last week.
The integrity of the PBCA
was apparent and refreshing!
I truly believe the experience will transform my business,
hence, my life. My sincerest appreciation to you.”
Donna Martin
Certified Professional Business Coach
12. “I was attracted to the PBCA because it presented a
business model that simply made sense to me.
The alliance created a flexible
framework within which I could “color
outside the lines” and put my personal
stamp on my company.
All the while I have enjoyed tremendous support through the PBCA Forum and
weekly coaching calls with two other member-coaches. The forum and library
provide great exchange of ideas and tools. The member coaches come from a variety
of backgrounds/industries and their experience and expertise is truly impressive.”
Bob Knowles
Certified Professional Business Coach
13. “The entire PBCA team is truly there for you
when you need them most of all.
I cannot imagine entering the
business coaching profession
without access to the training,
group support and coaching
tools provided by the PBCA.
In addition, the on-going development in terms of
services and available resources has continued to
expand exponentially over the past year. What
a powerful team to be a part of, all the while
advancing our respective careers.”
Verne Milot

14. Ron Imbach
Certified Professional Business Coach
I have only been acquainted
with Jon for a few months. Having
said that, his infectious personality,
positive attitude, and strong
interest in helping others have made
us good friends and
colleagues very quickly. Jon's
knowledge of business, coaching,
marketing, etc. is impressive.”
15. “When I decided to start a business coaching practice I looked at several other
options including franchising and other coaching training certifications.
I chose the PBCA because of two reasons:
1. I found no franchise with enough name
recognition in the marketplace to justify
buying it for the “brand”.
2. The PBCA provided training and back-office
tools equal to or greater than any system or
certification I investigated.
Though those two reasons remain valid they are not why I am still a PBCA member
all these years later. I came for the training and tools but I stay because of the great
support I receive from my fellow PBCA coaches whose free exchange of ideas
and positive attitude drive each other to succeed. I’ve been a part of many great
associations, but none where the members are as talented and creative and giving of
their time and expertise.”
Matthew Burkinshaw • Certified Professional Business Coach
16. “Jon's enthusiasm and expertise drives
the PBCA with dedication to excellence
and a culture of giving back.
He is constantly searching
to do things better and
make the members of this
association more effective
in their business.
Jon is a joy to work with and a
wonderful person to know.”
Mike Sobus
Certified Professional Business Coach
17. Jon is a leader among leaders. His vision of developing the PBCA into North
America's premier business coaches alliance is happening right now. He has
developed an outstanding, world class training
program that drives experienced business
professionals to create their own coaching
business. Jon has seen it and done it all and is transparent in sharing his
successes and learning opportunities. I follow Jon's teaching and lessons very closely
because they just work! If you are serious about becoming a business coach or a more
successful business owner, then you owe it to yourself to contact Jon Denney.”

“I highly recommend the PBCA
for those considering entering the
business coach profession as
well as for experienced coaches
looking to be part of a strong
network of coaches.
Rob Dale
Certified Professional Business Coach
19. “When I discovered the PBCA, I not only found all of
the prerequisites I was looking for, I received even
more. I have been able to run my business coaching
practice the way I want and maintain the lifestyle I
envisioned. I not only get access to important tools
and white papers, but also get amazing support from
the PBCA and the coaches within the PBCA.
I never though it possible to work
independently AND have support
at the same time, but the PBCA
allows us to have both.”
Cindy Piva
Certified Professional Business Coach
20. I learned more from the PBCA
Certification Course “bootcamp” about
how to help business owners than I did
in my whole MBA program.
I couldn't believe that the system works so well that literally
the first person I talked to when I got off the plane from
Syracuse has become my first client and that pretty much will
pay for the course. I look forward to putting the coaching
techniques to work to make a difference in my community
for years to come!"
