Testimonials

"Alex is an honest to goodness guiding light. He’s helped lead me through work and social hurdles and spouts of depression, but most importantly, he helped me through my divorce. He held a safe space where I could talk openly and freely, and he listened without judgement. Through that process, he intuitively formulated each question to help navigate me to a deeper knowing of Self. He helped me restore my confidence in who I am and what I am capable of, and helped me release the weight so tightly held onto of things out of my control. His intellect paired with his spiritual connection create his powerful toolbox of practices to rewire my brain and let go of habits that no longer served me. I couldn’t have curated a better life coach. Thank you Alex, you truly have a gift!"

“In any sport, a good coach must know two things: he or she must have a keen knowledge of the game they coach, and they must also have a close relationship with the athlete they coach, knowing both their athletic abilities and their personalities. The same may be said for a life coach; having a deep and innate understanding of the human condition along with a rich life experience, as well as a personal relationship with the person they are coaching. Working with Alex, I have found his understand and perspective of both life and of myself to be immensely helpful in guiding me toward a more productive and serene place in my life. And GUIDE is the operative word here. Alex never tells you what to do or how to do it, but his insightful and well directed questions were an excellent guide for me, and helped create a path for me toward a wider perspective of myself, both my strengths and my weaknesses. He helped me to process my habits, to see which were working and which were not, and he gave me exercises and tasks that led me to a much more effective use of my time and painted a very clear picture of just what I needed to do and where I needed to go in order to find a greater happiness. And that is exactly what he has done, and continues to do, for me. Simply put, I highly recommend Alex Burgnon as an excellent life coach. My life and my process are both much better because of our work together.”

“Coaching with Alex helped me immensely as I navigated a mid-life career change. I had questions about whether to continue in my current trajectory (as an actor), or to pack it in and focus on other objectives. I had become disillusioned with my current career path, and found myself increasingly drawn to a wide array of hobbies and volunteer activities that better fit with who I had become as I matured. Using a combination of insightful inquiry, assignments outside coaching, and exploration of the other facets of my life (values, family life, relationships, etc), Alex helped me focus on the things that were bringing me explicit joy. From there, we created a pragmatic plan on how to make the career shift, and I couldn't be more excited!

The elements of his coaching style I value most are his use of actionable goals (SMART goals system), explicit asks/work to do between sessions, and his empathetic, but objective, nature. They make each coaching session part therapy session/part life boot camp! If you find yourself (as I did), needing a real push to achieve change, you can't go wrong with UNPACK*.”

“Picasso said everyone is born an artist and the trouble is staying one. The same is true for healing and healers. We are all born free of prejudice and preconceptions. We are all born healers because we emerge into form in a healed state. The trouble is staying one. Those of us who rediscover this inborn talent have experienced a run through the gauntlet of life and somehow emerge more together than torn apart. What is this difference between those who rise out of the ashes and those who become the ashes? It is the realization that life’s tests make us stronger and wiser, not weaker and more ignorant. Alex is one of those survivors with that realization. This is what makes him born to share his insights with others and help them heal. You will discover this in your work with him.”
