Glenn worked with me to build my business plan and gave me tips on startup, planning, and sustainability.

I highly recommend coaching sessions from Glenn for anyone taking that leap to be their own boss!! ”

“Glenn is a creative, insightful and seasoned leader. It is very obvious when you talk with Glenn that you are talking to a high capacity coach, and leadership expert. He has a way of seeing things as they are, and knowing what the right course of action is quickly. I have found few leaders that have the experience, creativity, and maturity of Glenn. He has the ability to see new ministry opportunities, trends, and cultural shifts, but more importantly knows how to capitalize on these for church, leadership, and missional impact. I have no hesitation in recommending Glenn's involvement in your company or church, and I know you will thankful you did!”

“Hands down, the best part of Glenn's 2-year business coaching plan has been the accountability that is necessary to grow as a business leader. Setting aside time each quarter for business retreats to work on my business, hearing ideas from Glenn and other business owners, and meeting one-on-one with Glenn each month have been pivotal to redefining and accomplishing my personal and business goals. The best part of Glenn as a coach has been his ability to balance his approachable, gentle nature with direct, honest communication. His combination of ease and clarity establishes a comfortable relationship in which clients can be transparent about the challenges of leading a business. It is because of the transparency that change can happen. I highly recommend Glenn and his coaching program to any business leader who is seeking to maximize his potential both personally and professionally.”

“Glenn's expertise showed us several blind spots. As a result of his coaching, success came easier and faster.”

“It was my pleasure to partner with Glenn as a writer for e3's website ExploreGod.com. Glenn is strategy minded, approachable, and always easy to contact. It is exciting to see how e3 will continue to develop under his leadership.”

“I have had the honor to work with Glenn in two different situations. The first was while working as a staff member at a previous company. That experience led me to make the wisest business decision I have ever made when I started my own business. My first call was to Glenn to see if he would take me on for coaching again - this time as a business owner. Glenn's wisdom, expertise, and proven strategies have made all the difference in my business. He genuinely cares for his clients, and the integrity and creative solutions he brings to business coaching are powerful and highly effective. I am blessed to call him my coach, and privileged to count him as a trusted friend.”

“I had the privilege of meeting Glenn through a referral from one of my clients. Glenn has a genuine desire to help business owners succeed. What I admire most about Glenn is that his strategies focus on all facets of life, not just the business side. Glenn has a unique way of guiding you to solutions and lighting the way to success in one's professional and personal life. He outlines simple yet effective ways to streamline your business by implementing processes and procedures. So in time, your business does not control every aspect of "you". I highly reccommend Glenn to anyone who owns a business; large, small or medium sized. Glenn is a proven expert. I think of Glenn as not only my "coach", but my friend as well.”

“Glenn Smith is the Division Vice Chairman for the Business & Professional Division of the Fort Bend Chamber. He is terrific with coming up with creative ideas. When he delivers the class content he is always compelling to listen to, is relevant and interesting. Glenn has also served our chamber beyond the Vice Chair role in helping me in my professional transition and coaching our Membership Director. We have had record success in bringing in memberships and I credit the outstanding effort of our Membership Director and the training and support that Glenn has provided. I have referred a number of people to Glenn who were in various stages of their professional growth and Glenn has enthusiastically been willing to take time to talk to them. He has been a tremendous source of support for me and a sounding board for any issues I am struggling with. Glenn listens and has the rare ability to help people see the big picture clearly through his quiet and humble demeanor. Glenn is on the top of my list to recommend when our members need direction.”

“I previously completed the Growth Coach 2-year program and continued on after that with Glenn's Mastermind Program. It has been a great asset to me both personally and professionally. The team Glenn gathered for our group has been beneficial to all involved and that is evidenced by our continued participation. Thanks Glenn for all of your help and to our team. I recommend using Glenn's Growth Coach services to people of all ages who are trying to better themselves personally and professionally. Dr. Stacy”

“I use Glenn's Business Coaching services for my business. I'm doing a lot less micro-managing and focusing more on working on my business. One thing that has helped tremendously is Glenn getting me to make a planner where I can brain dump all the projects that I need to do and keep me awake at night. Now they are on a list where they won't be forgotten and I can worry about them when they really become important. I'm not completely cured yet, but I am getting better quickly thanks to Glenn. Glenn is also full of great marketing ideas and is VERY knowledgable when it comes to online marketing.”

“I often go to Glenn for guidance and advice. He is a coach's coach. He has usually put himself through the same experiences and process that he suggests to his clients and those he mentors. Glenn is wise, reflective and highly respected by his clients. His patience adds greatly to the coaching/client environment as he is 100% focused on his client and their needs, and shows up only with his client's agenda in mind, never to suggest or to direct the client in unhelpful ways. He acts entirely as a mirror and guide during the sessions, so the client leaves each session/workshop with more information about how they can help themselves move forward. I recommend Glenn highly.”

“Glenn man with a heart of gold who is gifted beyond measure. He coached my husband and I in business, minisry and marriage. What an awesome gift!”

“Glenn is a committed leader who is interested not only in the growth of the organization, but also its people. As an Executive Pastor at Sugar Creek Baptist Church, that commitment was evident as he guided the church through a pivotal transition while maintaining the delicate balance between culture and tradition and the growth and change.”

“Glenn is a consultant and coach who knows his area of service well--leadership of small to mid-size organizations, though he has ample experience in large organizations as well. Glenn is competent. He is exceedingly helpful. He is eager to see his clients succeed. Glenn is a great choice for a coach for a CEO of a small business or for a church planter.”

“Glenn has been a trusted satelite member of my team for a couple of years now and brings proven coaching skills, excellent business insight and creativity to the table as an asset both to me personally and to my firm. Glenn has also become a strategic member of some of my selected clients in their respective businesses. I know Glenn to be honest, trustworthy and sincere in all his dealings.”

“Glenn is a compassionate communicator. He is clear and concise when teaching, compassionate and patient when coaching. Glenn is an expert at what he does and loves sharing enthusiastically with others. His guidance has been invaluable.”

“I was able to see first-hand how Glenn's coaching works in multiple venues. Seeing Glenn at work in evaluating and helping potential church planters in Houston was a joy, but when I saw him contextualize his coaching for a leadership training event in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, I was sold. Glenn is a man who is worth listening to.”

“Glenn Smith and The Growth Coach Houston have earned my very strongest recommendation as a business and executive coach. Glenn knows how to build a successful business, and he is very effective in using The Growth Coach Strategic Mindset Process to guide his clients to succeed. Personable, ethical, and a fine instructor, Glenn helps both executives and small business owners change the mindset that allows their business lives to dominate their personal lives.

He is very giving of his time and resources to help people improve and go beyond their comfort zone.

“Glenn's talents as a business and life coach have been invaluable to me and my business. His workshops help me really focus on what's working and not working in my business. Pinpointing these issues helps me make better daily business decisions. Through his quarterly "out of the office" workshops in a retreat setting, Glenn is helping me to build value in my business, in the event that I someday decide to sell it. I highly recommend Glenn to anyone who is serious about balancing his personal and professional life, or to a business owner who wants to take his business to the "next level".”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Glenn through various avenues. I have been a student of the Growth Coach, received direct counseling from Glen as a business advisor, and as colleagues on volunteer initiatives. No matter what the setting, I have found Glenn to be a man of strong character and wisdom. His leadership has provided direct benefit to me on both a personal and professional level. The Growth Coach program itself is a fantastic mechanism for helping small businesses owners learn how to take their business to the next level and achieve balance in their lives.”

“I can highly recommend Glenn Smith and his company The Growth Coach. Glenn and his team has put me in the right mindset to be the strategic business owner in my small business and not just an employee. The strategies he teaches have been directly related to the growth of my business and have been a major part of the success in my first year. Glenn has incredible talent and passion at what he does and it shows, not only in the results he achieves, but in the way he genuinely cares about the people he coaches. Oh, he's also a pretty cool guy just to hang around with.”

“As a coach, Glen is a masterful listener and an expert guide to helping people find real solutions to problems. I enthusiastically recommend him to any small business owner!”
