Mark Coons, President/CEO
American Special Risk, LLC

Small business owners often lack guidance from outside directors or advisors. As an entrepreneur,
I have found Harvey Smith to be an invaluable resource both personally and professionally. His
people skills and wealth of personal business experiences make him uniquely qualified to provide
this critical help. He provides a perspective on my business that is free of any conflicts of interest.
He has been a crucial part of my business growth, both personally and professionally.



Kathy Dowd AuD
Tryon Hearing Center, Inc.
My company was doing well, but there were rough edges. I felt a need to improve employee performance and morale. Employees who committed to the coaching process made a 100% turnaround. This had a clear and positive impact on the bottom profit line. In the last 6 months of my business our profitability allowed the business to be valued well for sale.

All new employees should go through coaching. Coaching will help them become aligned to the company’s goals and objectives much faster, and produce a satisfied employee. Coaching gives the employer active feedback on the real concerns, progress and values of new employees. More established employees who have lost the vision will also benefit from coaching by realigning with company changes and new directions. I am still able to reach back to the coaching experience and apply guidelines to my present situation. A profit maker for any business.



Jason R. Goldy, ChFC®
Director of Financial Planning
HF Financial, A Mass Mutual Company
Harvey has revolutionized the way that I approach not only my business relationships, but ALL of my relationships. He has become an integral partner in my business as he continues to advise and educate me regarding leadership dynamics, behavioral styles, and communication. Harvey has a willingness to take both a coaching and consultative position which adds value to our time together. I would highly recommend working with Harvey.


Phillip Brodsky, Campus Team Manager
The David Project, Educating Voices for Israel
As soon as I started working with Harvey, we made a plan that in two years I would be in business school—two years later I was in business school with a full academic scholarship. Being young, it is easy to focus on short-term goals and on what is most urgent in life. Harvey helps me focus on what is important. He is like the basketball coach that I loved growing up, but he’s coaching me in my life.

Clem Huffman, Owner
South City Print

I have owned a printing company for 20 years, and knew that we were stagnant in sales. In a small business wearing many hats often leaves me little or no time for working on my business. I realized that I needed a confidante and a coach to help me address the critical, strategic issues that I was not getting to.
Harvey takes a deep personal interest in the success of his clients. He will push you in the best way to create a plan for change. Harvey will go beyond the norm to offer his help once the plan and goals are created. He is very effective.


Craig Doyon, Dir. of Marketing

Coaching was well worth the emotional and financial investment. Things I worked on with Harvey years ago are still applicable today and they will be in the future. Moreover, the application of these skills are not only timeless, they are transferable to every relationship in my life.
