After working with Steve Ferman for several months, I think the number 1 benefit is having the opportunity to bounce things off of Steve and to brainstorm. His many years of experience, plus his thoughtful and candid approach generate excellent discussions that truly do impact how I move forward! Thank you, Steve!”
Joan Arata, Modern Acupuncture - CEO
“I have known Steve and worked with him for quite a while. He is passionate, smart, results-orientated, and disciplined, and he gets things done. I am sure he developed these traits, in part, as a U.S. Marine. Business owners who want to grow their companies and get more out of life should have a talk with him.”
Ed Miller, Esquisite Marketing - CEO
“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Steve Ferman as my business coach. Steve has a way about him, as a former business owner, and also a Marine, to help me see clearly the areas of my business that need work. Steve has shed light on areas that are not my specialty and helped me look to the future in growing my business. I love using the book “Scaling Up” to take Blue Water Wave to the next level with Steve. I can’t thank Steve enough!”
Bridget L. Sorenson, Blue Water Wave - CEO
“Steve provided me with coaching services with a focus on lead generation. He gave me a new perspective and great advice to help me move my business forward. I highly recommend Steve for those who are seeking help with client acquisition. He also happens to be really fun to talk to. If you need a coach who’s smart and will leave you feeling optimistic, get in touch with Steve.” Jane Schwartz, The Artful Messenger - CEO
”Steve brings his years of experience to the table to help you make better decisions, understand the why behind it so you can apply it later, and guides you to the next steps. Encouraging all the way to help you achieve your goals!”
