“I’ve taken six different coach trainings, but New Ventures West was the one that influenced me the most—because it’s about you as a person rather than focusing on techniques and tools.”
Thomas Schulte

“New Ventures West is life changing! To me, the PCC was much more than a coaching program: it was a rebirth. I am forever grateful to James and the fabulous work he put into the world.”
Simone Writer

“The training has been truly transformational—not only in my work as a facilitator for youth mentoring groups, but also in my life as a husband, friend, uncle, and co-worker. Rather than feeling overwhelmed, I leave each session with young people feeling encouraged and empowered. I’m deeply grateful for this experience—it’s changed how I relate to others and how I show up in the world.”
