I attended a workshop called “Women’s Way to Wealth” where Phil was the keynote speaker. I was impressed with his talk and the connection he had with the audience. One of the raffle prizes was a one-hour coaching session with Phil. I was delighted when I was the winner.
Working with Phil for fifteen minutes was all it took for me to know his coaching me was going to change my life. I realized he already recognized several things I needed to change in order to create a highly successful business. I had recently started my own senior consultant business and already landed a project with a private company.
Phil ---So often in today's time, people don't make the effort to appreciate what they've been given or take the time to say thank you. I know that isn't the case for me. I want to thank you for all the exciting things that are happening in my life. Years ago, someone told me, that when the student was ready to learn, the teacher would appear. And here you are as my coach.
There were many health related events that lead me to you, as well as my wanting to learn and grow and breakthrough my own barriers. From the beginning, when we started with my completions, I had no idea what kind of an awesome journey, I was about to embark on. My completions...now that was a process. For example, learning that by not completing a promise or a conversation, I was holding myself back from moving forward. I remember crying for an hour, writing the letters for the people who had been so kind during my father-in-law's death and how liberating it was, once I finished and mailed them. There were many other completions and you coached me through all of them, even the ones, I thought would be impossible.
And all the breakthroughs...where to begin...! My marriage, my children, my effect on others, getting out of my own way...it's been amazing. With my husband, I wasn't even sure we'd still be married by now. I love and adore the man, but boy were there issues...who knew that they were my issues...!! Having you there to coach me, showed me what a difference my attitude and what I said and how I responded could make such an impact. And as you know, my marriage is on solid ground and improving all the time.
Now, with all that you are doing for my company and my agents in our training sessions, I know we are going to exceed all of the goals that we have set for this year. The more that I learn and grow with you, the more I can give to them like you have given to me. Thank you doesn't seem enough for what I have received. I will continue to learn and grow with you and hopefully be able to pass on so much of what I've been given.
"I just want to tell you how much I enjoyed having you speak during our Leadership Retreat at the Apple Farm in San Luis Obispo this year. The ratings for your presentation from both consultants and directors attending the retreat were very high.Your personal journey and down to earth method of casting a vision for the audience is very refreshing. My ears are always open when I am learning from someone who has 'walked the walk.' I look forward to working with you again in the future."

"Phil Cisneros has helped me through the toughest business transition I have ever been through and helped me stay focused on my vision when things didn't seem like they were headed uphill.

“Phil Cisneros of the Cisneros & Associates helped us to become business owners. Phil worked with us to formulate our business idea into a real plan of action. He then assisted us through the process of opening and growing our 1 year old thriving business: Beach House Unfinished Furniture & Design. Thank you Phil.”

"We found Mr. Cisneros to be prompt and responsive to our request for our assistance and we were able to arrive at the desired product; a mission statement and a five year plan. This was a first effort on the part of the Housing Authority to create a mission statement and consider five year goals. His facilitation of this process helped to bring it to fruition. In fact, the accomplishment more than met our expectations. Mr. Cisneros' ability to conceptualize the challenges such a group must tackle in order to go forward were key to our success. It was a sincere pleasure to have Mr. Cisneros facilitate this effort. We look forward to working with him again."
Kathy Coe-Aguras, Executive Director, Housing Authority of the County of Monterey, California

"One of my goals for 2003 after attending your annual training session was to take a great family vacation with my 18 year old son celebrating his upcoming graduation from high school with honors. Well, we decided on a wind surfing trip staying at a beach called Cabarete in Dominican Republic. It was the BEST trip anyone could ever take and I would not have even thought it possible without your coaching. Thanks for helping me realize we could do this trip!"
Michael Alamo Director, Arroyo Grande Kennedy Club Fitness, CA
“Phil Cisneros from Cisneros & Associates Consulting Services was the keynote speaker who closed our San Luis Obispo Agency Field Office Marketing Conference. Phil’s message was personalized for our audience, building on the themes of the conference. Phil helped our agents envision their successes by looking back from the end of the year. This approach helped them to realize the importance of incorporating appropriate changes into their business and personal activities. Phil effectively integrates inspirational quotations and personal antidotes into the presentation that adds insight into his message. We were very pleased with Phil’s contributions to our meetings.”
Walt Heagy, State Farm Insurance, Agency Field Consultant, Central California
“I want to thank you for helping me improve my business. In the last two years that I have been working with you, I have gone from working 5 days a week to working two and a half days a week with more employees and I am making more money. My net worth has also doubled in that amount of time. I couldn’t have done it without you. I am enjoying the free time that I have, all the while business is continuing to grow. Thank you!”
Kathy Hilstein, The Royal Treatment House Cleaning, San Luis Obispo, 5 Cities Area, CA
“I just wanted you to know that you received some rave reviews from many of the attendees of our annual symposium that you spoke at this year. Just to give you a typical example, one person wrote: “Excellent, excellent speech by Phil Cisneros. Inspiring… for everyone. Thanks.” Others repeated such accolades as “wonderful” and “particularly good” and “great. Thank you for your great contribution!”
Thomas L. Parsons, Vice President, Marketing Department, Midstate Bank, Arroyo Grande, CA
"I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the assistance you provided to me. I had never worked with an executive coach prior to engaging you and wasn’t quite sure what to expect. But, based on a strong reference and our good rapport during our first meeting, I thought it would be worth a try. Over the course of the ensuing months I found that you were consistently 'there for me' during some pretty tough times and, importantly, you helped me tap a tremendous source of inner strength. You helped me understand what commitment is all about and you helped me to see the importance of consciously, thoughtfully, unequivocally and publicly declaring my commitment to the things I stand for. That simple act of declaring what I stand for has helped me during the past several months and will help me for the rest of my life."
Tony F. DiStefano CEO, Arrival Communications, Bakersfield, CA
"I have worked with Phil Cisneros for the past five years. During the first two and a half years of our relationship Phil coached me with a business I had owned for twelve years. (Martinson Piano Moving L.L.C.) With Phil’s coaching, I was able to stop paying rent in a facility that was too small and purchased a four thousand square foot warehouse. This allowed us to expand our Piano storage space/market creating more income to help pay for the warehouse. We purchased a second truck, added crew to run it, increased our “Piano Moving” income and created a team environment that was crucial to the continued growth and development of the company. The problems got bigger along with the company but with Phil’s unwavering support and commitment to our success we became efficient at solving them. Once I was removed from the “doingness” of the business (Martinson Piano Moving) I was freed up to start a second business with my wife, something we had been talking about doing for many months. In September of 2003 the opportunity to purchase a Dream Dinners franchise was made available to us. This seemed a perfect fit so we jumped at the chance. Going into business with my wife as a partner created challenges in our personal relationship that we either hadn’t addressed or hadn’t experienced thus far. Phil’s coaching and support for our business as well as our personal relationship was outstanding. Creating a vision for our business and family is a very powerful future to live into! Our relationship and commitment to our family has never been stronger. We are involved with the community in a way we had never imagined. From supporting our local P.T.A’s, groups raising money for cancer research, to supporting moms in greatly reducing the “What’s for Dinner dilemma” allowing them more time with their families. It’s been a very rewarding experience.
Thanks Phil for your awesome support and enthusiasm!"
