“Through the Clear and Open courses, I’ve realized key shadow aspects of my personality that held me back in more ways than I’d ever realized. I have grown immensely since engaging in them and I can honestly say NONE of this would have been brought to light without Josef. His ability to get you to critically think (and if you think you know how to do this already, you don’t) is life-changing. Josef has an extraordinary talent to coach people through the darkness to the light. My life wouldn’t be the same without his guidance and support.”

Josef is unlike any coach I’ve worked with: he’s wicked smart, calls me on my bullshit, gets right to the heart of the matter, and sees through to the root issues. He’s opened my eyes to unconscious motives and patterns of behaviors that I see now are at the root of my struggles. I’m changing and growing in ways I kept trying to accomplish on my own but struggled with. I’m learning to turn toward discomfort I used to run from, which isn’t fun at times, but the hard work is paying off. I also am developing a kind of X-Ray vision into reading people, helping me in sales, management, and fascinatingly in my personal life.”

One of the greatest challenges in business is getting teams to understand one another and work together masterfully. This means having deep empathy for each other’s backgrounds, motivations, passion areas and blind spots. Josef Shapiro understands these needs and has been expertly helping people for many years. In both personal coaching and workshops, Josef has done an awesome job helping my teams empathize with one another, achieve greater cohesion as a group and learn new things about themselves as well.”
