| "I
was a little stand-offish about going to
‘The Nurturing Fathers Group’,
but my girlfriend said that it would do
me some good. I’m very happy and proud
of myself that I took the advice. In your
group I learned a lot about myself and others.
I strongly believe that it changed me for
the better. I was changing myself before
I went, but the group helped me see that
I was going in the right direction. Ron,
you are a great listener and adviser. You
gave me some very good insight. I have plans
on seeing you for a few sessions when I
return home from Iraq. You helped me with
my children, work, and private life, and
I believe you can help me with my reentry
into civilian life as well. If I haven’t
said it before, I want to take this time
to thank you for all that you’ve done.
I consider you a good friend." |

"Ron
Shepard is like no other. I have seen many
therapists during my life and not once have
I experienced the care and compassion that
I felt while [being coached] from Ron. It
was his guidance and genuine desire to help
that has empowered me to help myself."

"I
have known Ron Shepard for many years. During
that time, I have had the opportunity to
view him in numerous roles, ranging from
husband, student, teacher, coach, and most
importantly, friend. Ron's ability to listen
is paramount to my friendship with him.
He carefully hears all that you say, and,
if you ask advice, assesses the situation
and offers many different solutions. This
offers the person a variety of ways of handling
what might be a tough issue. Ron is honest;
he tells it like it is. Although it may
not be what you want to hear, he is usually
right in his suggestions. His relationships
with men, women, and children, never cease
to amaze me. He can reach out to every age
and get through to even the hardest-to-know
person. He also understands and can relate
to people on their level. As a parent of
a teenage boy, he enables me to examine
a side of my son that helps me to comprehend
his behavior. His relationship with my son
is positive and they enjoy each other’s
company. Ron understands relationships.
Not only has he helped me with my son, he
has given me valuable insight concerning
my relationship with my husband. His suggestions
have helped us build a bridge of communication
that has strengthened our marriage."

"Ron
Shepard is the most amazing personal coach
anyone could ask for. When I first came
to Ron I was like a broken vase; I had all
the pieces, but no glue. Ron has been my
glue. He empowers me to take charge of my
life and make it my own. He is a great listener
and helps me find solutions to my struggles
and problems. He assists me one-on-one,
as well as through emails and phone calls.
He offers me suggestions about great reading
materials, videos, and audiotapes in areas
he thinks will help and interest me. He
is very professional. He truly cares about
my issues, and wants to help me attain my
goals and be successful. I would recommend
him to anyone who wants to have a better
life."

"Working with Ron Shepard was extremely
beneficial to my family. Ron is a great
listener and is very direct. I believe that
it is this approach that allowed him to
discover the issues at hand and suggest
solutions to my family to overcome our problems.
My family is now much stronger and healthier
thanks to Ron. His unwillingness to let
anyone "slip through the cracks"
and his genuine care for all of his clients
allows him to keep families and individuals
focused. We've shared a lot of laughter
and tears with Ron. The fact that we remain
in contact after all of these years says
a lot. He is a wonderful person and a great
family and individual coach. We would recommend
him to anyone needing his service. Thanks
Ron. You remain our hero and are a true
blessing to anyone fortunate enough to work
with you and get to know you."

"What
this area needs is a place where a guy can
go to connect with other men, to get support
and useful, relevant information, other
men to network with, a way to gauge how
men fit in now, a sense of belonging and
if one could be so lucky, a caring, empathic,
knowledgeable guiding hand. We are blessed
in Vermont to have all that in Ron Shepard.
Ron's coaching is friendly, down to earth,
insightful and empowering; my life and my
relationships work better. There are few
men around these days who understand or
care about the challenging places men often
find themselves in and precious few who
commit themselves heart and soul to do something
about it. Ron is such a man."
- Mark

"Ron, I believe
you have a talent, a truly caring heart, a sincere,
sensitive awareness and ability to be present
with another. When you are fully present with
your client, led by your heart, spirit can move
through you. You have the skill to communicate
clearly your thoughts and feelings to another.
You use keen observation of body language and
expression and then questioning to further understand
one’s thought process. I believe your education
and, more importantly, your own self awareness
and evolutionary work helps you guide people to
where they want to go. You keep a firm boundary
so that you don’t get sucked into the drama.
We need a solid pole to grab onto when we are
stuck in the mud. You keep us in line and focused
on our goals, seeming to know just the right amount
of push without aggressiveness. You have allowed
me to be vulnerable and safe simultaneously. Through
this process we have become friends and I am grateful
for the connection I have with you, friends aiding
each other’s evolution."

“I have been working with my coach Ron Shepard
for over a year on the five major areas of my
life – on issues around my personal relationship,
family matters, educational pursuits, career goals
and addiction. Before coming to see Ron my life
was completely unmanageable. I had hit a spiritual
and emotional bottom. Ron provided a non-judgmental
environment and a vision of change. He suggested
ways of changing what needed to be changed and
stressed what is good in my life. Ron has been
very effective in helping me get my life back
on track and moving toward a brighter future.”
