Testimonials

When I started working with Gwen I wasn’t sure where my business was headed. She coached me through a national media extravaganza and helped me repackage my services. Her revelation about my core fear of asking is obviously fundamental to growing my business. Once we get that healed, I say with Gwen’s help “Look out World!”. …or at least until the next thing I’m avoiding comes up… Beth Ringdahl, Founder, Red Dot Campaign reddotcampaign.ca

Changing careers can be exhilarating or scary, but is always a challenge, and changing countries even more so. Thanks to Gwen, I was able to do both at the same time! Gwen helped me build confidence, dream big and strategise.  She kept me on track through information gathering, networking, volunteering and the job application process with its ups and downs.  Within a year, I landed a job in my chosen field and negotiated a good salary.  Best of all, the skills you learn with Gwen you keep forever. Thank you, Gwen!

When you start off on a long journey you usually need a map. Sometimes you may even need a guide. Our son’s journey into responsible adulthood was greatly assisted by his weekly coaching sessions with Gwen. She not only helped him by providing a map to achieve his goals and dreams but she was a compassionate guide in the process. I would recommend her without reservation for anyone who needs help reaching their life and work goals.
Roxanne Davies, Director of Go Consult


Gwen has so much work and life experience that she always understands where I am coming from, what I am going through and what is a peaceful yet powerful way to resolve any conflict.  I have found the strength inside me to face situations that I would normally run away from.  I have more confidence, wisdom and focus in my life now.  I always feel so happy,  relieved and insightful after a conversation with Gwen.  I also always look forward to our next session.  What I love the most is that with Gwen's help, I have maintained my integrity and dignity in my relationships, work and family life.  I am proud of myself and would recommend Gwen's gift of life coaching to any person.

Gwen Gnazdowsky has been my Life Coach for over two years. One of the first things that I have discovered from our sessions        was a greater sense of self awareness. When people ask me about Life Coaching I am able to describe it in two words; personal perspective. Her Life Coaching enables you to get to an objective look at your hopes, your dreams and your goals. What you want to do and what you need to do to get there. I’ve made important paradigm shifts in my relationships with my family, my career and my partner relationships. Through coaching I have found that I have all the resources within me to solve many problems in my life.           

It has brought me peace of mind to know that I am on the right track and maintaining it with the life coaching sessions. I have improved several relationships in my life that I would not have thought possible before life coaching. I’ve changed some from bad  to good and others from good to even greater. I’ve learnt relationship skills like feedback formula, mirroring and a disagreement diffusing method called CLEAR (Calm, Listen, Explore, Agree and Resume).

Life Coaching and the Relationship Boot Camp Sessions have helped me to create and nurture extraordinary relationships.   Richard W. Kobayashi, BCIT College Professor, Writer, Filmmaker and Business Owner

I have been seeing Gwen for three years for coaching in my relationships, career, finances and whatever else I feel like talking about at the time.  I first saw Gwen sharing her story about her relationship and I felt inspired.  I had unfulfilled dreams of having my own family and was confused as to what direction I wanted to take in my life.  At my very first conversation, I found that I had already known what I wanted to do all along and that was to sing.  I had dreams of performing in a musical, something that I had wanted  to do since High School but was too afraid to audition.  With Gwen’s help and encouragement, I decided to audition for a musical and to do my absolute best.

A week before the audition I had come up with a very believable reason not to do it.  Gwen wouldn’t believe it.  Thank goodness!    I faced my fears. I went for it and, shockingly, got the lead role of the Princess in How I Became Queen.  I felt so good and proud  of myself.  Left to my own devices, I believe that I would still be waffling and avoiding making a decision for fear of failure.

I went to another audition and got hired to be Anytime Annie in 42nd Street. I was now tap dancing! Something I hadn’t done on stage for 15 years.  I fell in love with the music, the audience and the ‘in the moment Joy’ that I hadn’t experienced in so many years.  I smiled so big my cheeks hurt. I am now the lead singer in a Band, which I love!

I have also had relationship coaching with Gwen and learned communication techniques at her Relationship Seminars.  I started to become aware of my stories in my mind that created my unconscious behavior.  Once these stories were shared it freed me to see and change my behavior.

Most recently, I have felt the need to streamline and organize my life.  I have set up RRSPs, a budget and home cleaning routines, including cooking something that I have always wanted to do, but never found the time.  This has boosted my self-confidence and put a bounce in my step.

Gwen has helped me to see when my fear is at play and when I am unconsciously trying to sabotage my own joy and happiness.  Simply, she calls me on my stuff.  And I need that.  I am taking responsibility and ownership for my actions, my behaviors and, ultimately, my Life.  Today, I feel very self-empowered.  I feel able to make my own decisions and not guilty that I am doing something wrong.  Gwen’s intention is for me to be happy.  I am finally living the life I am meant to instead of hiding behind my fears.  I am grateful to have Gwen as my life coach and I thank her from the bottom of my heart.

If you are ready to be accountable for the words that come out of your own mouth, then you are ready to THRIVE with Gwen Gnazdowsky as your Life Coach! I am amazed at how I've grown, personally and professionally, by working with her for 15 months. I'm always amazed by the abundance of great ideas and breakthroughs that come forth in our sessions. Gwen is really committed  to her calling and deeply desires the success of all of her clients. She is also devoted to bringing the healing power of life coaching to a broader audience. I think the world is ready to know more about how to settle differences through conversation, and I wish Gwen success in bringing her own dream to the screen.
Sabrina Prada, Performer/Producer Newly-elected Board Member WIFTV

The coaching relationship has grown deeper over the years as Gwen listened and guided me through very tough decisions on both personal and professional issues. I learned to look at both problems and goals in a fresh light thanks to Gwen gently suggesting  new options and different ways of operating in my life. To sum up my experience working with Gwen, is giving me “Life by Design."
Lynda Kennedy, Motivation, Power & Achievement Society, Director of Development

I really enjoyed learning healthier alternatives on how to implement my goals as well as how to improve my communication. I feel very much empowered and enriched by your suggestions in encouraging me toward my list of goals.  Most importantly, I appreciated your "Nutshell" of how to proceed.
Cyndie Molyneux

Before I started with Gwen, I was unhappy and frustrated.  Although I am a fairly successful person, I have learned that issues from my childhood have come to negatively affect most aspects of my life, especially with romantic partners. The best part about Gwen is that instead of giving me "band-aid" solutions, we have really gone to the core of my problem and have worked on remedying that situation so that everything else will fall into place.  Gwen has given me hope that I can go into future relationships and rather than being chronically angry, I can be a great loving and supportive partner.  Gwen has taught me so much about how two people can misinterpret so much in a relationship.  She has also taught me so much about what a female needs to hear. It was so different than what I had been saying to my partners. Furthermore, many of the strategies that Gwen has given me for relationships also seem to be making life easier with the many relationships that  I deal with everyday in my job as a teacher.
Robert, High School Teacher   

Under Gwen's coaching I have become much more grounded and centered. Within relationship, work and following my heart - these are the areas where I notice the difference. Upsets and distractions are less; it is easier to get back to higher self. Thank you Gwen for everything and what is yet to come!
Tony Ratcliff, Process Engineering Analyst & Coach to Race Car Drivers

Whether I'm clear about the direction I'm headed and want coaching to maximize my effectiveness or am struggling to clarify my priorities, Gwen is unequivocally committed to my success and me. Even when I feel like I'm going in circles and our conversations cover lots of ground, she has this amazing ability to identify the key points and help me incorporate them into a workable plan of action. Gwen boldly acknowledges and cheers my achievements and inspires me to keep moving forward.
Louise Smith, IT

Thank you for guiding me through an afternoon of discovery. There were many very profound moments that gave me a very different perspective on myself and many other significant people who have touched my life.
Gail Blachford, TELUS  

Gwen was truly a catalyst in helping me move forward towards finding and creating a positive relationship in just one conversation. Gwen's compassionate approach to coaching helped me get to that place of trust where I was able to go beyond my limiting beliefs to access my deeper desires of purpose.  Once there, Gwen was able to guide me to focused intention, which got  the manifestation ball rolling.  After our initial session, amazing things were flowing forth within a matter of days.
Annie Rae Huston, Writer  

Before working with Gwen, I felt discouraged and at a dead end.  I kept 'running into the same walls' and I didn't know why.  Through Gwen's guidance, she motivated me to identify and push through my self-imposed blocks and encouraged me to become excited with who I am and the talents I have to offer.  She reconnected me to my 'inner superstar'. Thanks Gwen!
Barbara Brown, Coordinator

I wish to take this time to acknowledge your incredible and extra-ordinary work and devotion to having enlightened me on various areas of my life, most specifically in finding Mr. Right!  Your words of wisdom,  your very generous listening capacity, and your sunshine attitude INSPIRED me. You genuinely stood for me to win, to change my life path and make a permanent difference, to generate magic. Before I had taken your program (Extraordinary Personal Relationships), I must say I still had some resistance in expressing my wishes and thoughts about MY idea of the man I would want to share the rest of my life with. You and your programs helped me untangle my perceptions and thinking patterns that were sabotaging this dream to fully come true for myself. For the past year and a half, I AM LIVING "REALITY" with MY DREAM MAN!
Tanya Deluca

With your listening skills and strong sense of all that is possible, you have a powerful ability to bring the fullest potential out of people. You bring joy and levity to the area of self-discovery, which is truly refreshing. With your influence I picked out my man, married him and now have children.
