Who are Jaffe Life Design Clients?
Clients hire us because they are
committed to making meaningful changes in their lives
and their businesses – even if they don’t yet know what
those specific changes are.
Clients become our partners. We
guide them through the process, but our coaching
relationship is always about their agenda.
Clients make our sessions a
priority. They know the value of accountability - and
the danger of complacency.
Clients commit to doing their
assignments and taking action. Sometimes they hit a wall
that prevents them from completing their assignments and
that is ok.
Clients own their results. We are
committed to our clients achieving results and having
each session be meaningful. Likewise, our clients take
responsibility for creating value and results for
themselves.
Clients provide feedback. We are
committed to serving them and are completely open to
them telling us what is working and not working for
them. We expect them to be authentically self-expressed
with us.

On Mike’s
Speaking Engagements...
"I wanted to let
you know how helpful and inspiring the
program was. I have had long-term
"professional" positions in the past, some
recent retail and writing experience, and am
taking a hard look at what I really want to
do in the coming decades! ...but your
presentation was encouraging and let me know
it's OK to take some time about long-range
plans."
John Radulski
"Mike left a swath
of happy, energized people in his wake.
He chose his attitude and infected those
around him. Everyone who I saw him speak to
walked away astonished at having received
such positive feedback and encouragement
about their own strengths and capabilities.
This shouldn’t be such a rarity. It
shouldn’t be reserved for actors and
athletes and other people who perform in
front of audiences. Everyone should
experience adulation for what makes them
great. So give this gift, and in the
process, build your own positive, energized,
passionate culture."

On Mike’s
Workshops...
“I wanted to make
certain to tell you that your work with
Jumpstart has gotten tremendous positive
feedback with the staff involved and the
participants. I have been getting the
feedback since the beginning of your work
with them... You have had a great impact
on some of the people that we think of as
“unimpactable” in some ways. Thank you so
much for doing this.”
Audrey Sparre
Vice President/COO
Interfaith Housing Association
Westport, CT
“I have never been in
another organization or situation where I
felt like I did leaving a “Michael Meeting”
- I wanted to do more, do it at a higher
level of performance and success and at the
same time felt as though I was doing
something truly important. That is the kind
of leader and inspiration Michael is for
others. His energy and optimism spills all
over the people around him. He is supportive
and nurturing, yet he holds us accountable
for our own quality and performance. The
results are passionate team members and
managers, empowered teams and high-quality
systems.”

Business Coaching...
"Michael is a true
coach; he listens, he guides, and he makes
it simple. He has been a great
inspiration and a valuable advisor to me.
Michael lives his life with appreciation for
simple and meaningful things and has helped
me view life’s challenges in similar
fashion. His high energy is very contagious
and his straight forwardness is very
revealing."
Rafi Shikoh
Editor, Founder of Dinar Standard™
(Online
business strategy publication which provides
actionable insights and resources for
businesses in the Muslim world; addressing
their unique challenges and opportunities.)
“Mike has an innate
ability to show me ideas, perspectives and
possibilities that I had not thought of on
my own. He gives me the direction that I
need to make both my personal and
professional life so much more satisfying.
I am more open to possibilities that I never
would have thought possible before our work
together.”

On
Individual Coaching...
“You are a
professor of perspective! I continue to
learn a great deal about how to better
approach situations that would have
frustrated me before we began working
together. Your means of motivating are
straight forward, insightful, and often
inspirational. You have given me tools which
allow me to continually improve all aspects
of my life. Most importantly I am learning
how to get out of my own way by remaining
committed to my goals and holding myself
accountable to them. I look forward to
each and every meeting.”
Francis Sheehan
Ridgefield, CT
“Thank you for
helping me get through the transition and
for opening my eyes to some very
important personal / professional issues.”
Al Clark
San Francisco, CA
“My life is finally
more focused, I'm accomplishing a lot more
than I used to, I overthink everything
considerably less and take genuine,
heartfelt, action more immediately. Overall,
life's a lot more fun.
When we started, I
specifically said I did not want "career"
counseling. I wanted help to improve my
performance in everything I do - work,
singing, playing competitive tennis, being a
parent, daughter and wife, etc. He helps
you get the most out of your future, not the
past. In any case, it works. I'm feeling
surprisingly sure in a very unsure world.”
Bev Costello
SVP Marsh, Inc.
"I only have to
spend a few minutes with Mike and something
shifts with my mood and my immediate
outlook. He is a results guy who makes
every moment count. Mike has facilitated
change in my life. I'm a mom and a
professional, yet I have been able to find
room for interests and projects I was sure I
had no room for. I stopped dreaming about
them and started doing them. Thanks Mike!"
Kate Mard
Westport, CT
“The lessons and
shifts in attitude are still helping me on a
daily basis, almost a month after our last
session. I find myself pleasingly calm
and prepared when crisis hits, and I deal
with those crises in a much healthier and
more effective way than ever before.
You don’t just coach,
you live the method. I think that’s one of
the reasons I so quickly trusted you - you
apply what you teach.
What I learned from
you was that the tools were already [inside
me], and I was not using them to best
effect. Providing that little nudge, that
tiny yet significant shift in mentality and
by making me accountable for my actions, all
reinforced with your absolute and unceasing
positive attitude, really helped cement
those tools and lessons in their rightful
place.
I have also seen a
shift in my peers that you worked with as
well, so I know my experience is not unique.
You are a fantastic coach Mike, and you made
a big difference in my attitude towards
work-no, let me correct that-towards LIFE!
that I still benefit from today.

“Mike, being in your presence
reminded me that there is a divine order to
things, even if we can't always see it. You
are so infused with energy and purpose. It
is rare to meet someone so in touch with the
sacredness of life and I feel very blessed
to have crossed your path. Thanks for taking
that later train. The world needs you!”

"Whenever I speak with
Michael I come away feeling energized,
valued and motivated. I would not hesitate
to recommend him to anyone needing a truly
motivational coach. I always feel so "up"
after I've spoken with you.”
Julie Breeze
Organization and Productivity Coach
“Without the guidance
that you have given me through our
conversations I would not know how to go
about starting a coaching business. So thank
you very much.”
Grace Mauzy
Parenting Coach
GEM Coaching
“That Mike Jaffe is an
excellent coach is a given. However, Mike is
also great at teaching and guiding new
coaches through mentoring and training. His
confident, supportive presence and
enthusiasm are evident in person as well as
on the phone. If you work with Mike, you
will become a great coach yourself!”
