Steven Burgess – My Story
My wife and I have been married since 1986 and we have raised three amazing and successful sons. We moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to California’s Central Coast around the turn of the millennium to be near and to assist with my parents’ last years and so that my kids could have a richer experience of them as well. And now my kids have made me a grandfather!
I have spent nearly forty years starting businesses of my own creation. I have spent more than a decade as a college mentor and as a startup mentor. I’ve been a judge, a coach, and a participant in several Startup Weekends. I’m a graduate of the Accomplishment Coaching’s stringent 2-year training in ontological coaching and also of a 3-year training in intuitional healing based on Berkeley Psychic Institute’s training programs.
I am chock full of love to give. I can remember standing in the auditorium of a play in junior high school, bubbling over with love but a little disappointed I didn’t get to direct it to anyone in particular. It still bubbles over and Life Coaching gives me a way to express it.
About the time I entered my sixth decade, I began to feel a bit set in my ways. A longevity researcher and funder told me that one way to shake up the rut I had started to feel, was to do improv. So I did! And it helped! Neuroplasticity was the word. Lucky for me, my improv teacher was also a Life Coach. She sat with me for a few sessions, my life began to bust open, and projects I’d wanted to do for decades began to happen. I’m so much happier and full of life – I can’t wait for next week and tomorrow to keep opening.
What differentiates me:
I’ve been going through these changes for some time now and I savor them. Standing still is not for me.
I’ve been creating businesses for four decades and I have worn every hat.
Besides parenting, grandparenting, and coaching kids’ sports, I have been actively and freely coaching both college students and accomplished entrepreneurs for many years.
I am all about love and have a lot to share.
The style of coaching I use is ontological in nature and we often produce results from the very first session onwards.
A guarantee: You will receive substantive benefits from your first hourlong session of coaching with me or your money back. If in your determination you haven’t received adequate benefit after your first session and before your second, then we can stop our coaching together and I will refund your initial deposit.
What my clients have to say
Steve listened to me intently, and asked me questions that helped me bring clarity to the issues that were troubling me. He helped me make commitments to myself to pursue the resolutions I had arrived at through his skillful feedback. At the end of each session I felt renewed and rewarded for the efforts by Steve’s positive and upbeat praise. Steve helped me with the self-care I needed.
So thank you Steve!
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the benefits of having a wellness coach like Steve. Supportive in helping me set goals for myself, while motivating me along the way.
As the owner of a small business it was important for me to establish personal growth in order for my business to grow with me. Steve played a huge part in that.
I highly recommend him and his services.
I’ve never had a coach like this before in my life and I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I instantly connected with Steve and he truly made me feel seen and heard. We worked on completely re prioritizing the major areas of my life to align more with my values, how I want to show up for myself and those I love.
A year later, I am happy to report that I am grateful every single day for this beautiful life I get to live. I cannot thank Steve enough.
Highly recommend!
