What Our Clients Say About Our Executive Coaching Services

If given the choice of three (3) outplacement firms from my company for executive coaching services . One simply wanted to wow me with their cloud system, along with a limited phone connection of a counselor. The second one, was nothing but a dog and pony show, along with spending a day on a plane eating day old peanuts. My First Sun Consultant was simply great and obviously my outcome is a result. He moved me through the process effectively and professionally on a one on one basis. I highly recommend First Sun Consulting.
