Doug Hartjes
Past President at Make A Wish Foundation of Central & Western North Carolina
“I knew from the first time I met with Harvey that he was going to have a big impact on me as a leader. Harvey is an extremely knowledgeable business coach who is not only committed to my personal success, but is also committed to his own continued professional development. When someone invests in themselves on a regular basis like Harvey does, it means they are at the top of their game. And that's the type of person I want helping me be at the top of MY game. Harvey has taught me many valuable business lessons and helped me develop action plans and strategies that have helped me strengthen my workplace performance as well as professional and personal relationships. Harvey has a knack for getting to the core of what is really important and helping identify and define what success looks like, both professionally and personally - ultimately making me a more effective leader, husband, father and friend. Harvey is a consumate professional who truly "gets it" and I give him my highest compliment and recommendation.”Peter Keane

Harvey was very helpful during what has externally been one of the most difficult financial environments. A lot of the time we were so busy ‘baking donuts’ that we didn’t take the time to think about where we were headed. Working with Harvey and doing the assessments was a revelation for my employees. Harvey is very effective at working with a whole range of personalities and being able to create and environment where people feel safe and comfortable. I was able to go from the feeling that something wasn’t right to putting people in the right places.
The way we work with Carolina Business Coach is ongoing; it was very important to me that this was not yet another exercise that everybody found stimulating yet was ultimately not practical. Through Harvey’s process of repetition we are forced to learn and relearn, not sink back into our old habits and attitudes.Dr. Michael Smith, ND

“After working with Harvey our business grew by 450% in one year. Before working with Carolina Business Coach, I was looking for people to fill the practice and didn’t have a good sense of: Are these good people for us or not? Through coaching, we were able to formulate a team of office staff and practitioners that are aligned with our goals.”Tim Flanagan

“Harvey Smith embodies all the things you want in a business coach – an intent listener, a compassionate nurturer, a focused motivator. His background as both a schoolteacher and successful businessman gives him a perspective rare among his counterparts. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed our relationship.”

"Like most people who've worked for big corporations, I've gone through my share of personality testing, team building exercises and training. Without a doubt, the most useful and insightful sessions I've had are the ones with Harvey Smith. Harvey's interpretation helped me see even more in the data, and has really helped me improve my day-to-day dealings with my boss, my coworkers and my direct reports. In many cases, it lessened the stress of interaction with some of my coworkers. I also think it's made me a better manager for those who report to me"
Debbie Daniel, CPA, Managing Shareholder Daniel, Ratliff & Company

This has been the highest sales year since the start of the company in 2003. Coaching pays for itself tenfold. Every meeting is highly valuable on many levels. I am not as stressed as I was; I feel that I can deal with any situation that comes my way.
