Additional Testimonials for Stacey’s Coaching
Customized Leadership Development Training with Workshops, Individual Coaching, and Assessments
“Stacey recently led our management team through four assessments with weekly individual coaching sessions and group sessions over a 3-month period. Stacey’s coaching style was on point with nothing but positive comments from each member of our team with most voicing things that would help them at home and on the job.
Her presentations showed a tremendous amount of time and effort went in to tailoring the material to the needs of our specific team. Her enthusiasm and passion for the subject matter was contagious and lead us to some very interesting discussions and observations about our team makeup. There was ample opportunity for everyone’s input and the allotted time was used wisely.
Stacey also offered a wealth of additional resources for each team member to pursue their area of interest so each could continue to use their new tools at their own pace. I specifically choose the area of Positive Intelligence and have learned a lot about myself and my reaction to people and situations that will help as things come my way daily.
I would highly recommend Stacey and her group to any company or individual that feels stuck in status quo with no real plan to move to the next level. Stacey has so many ideas and resources that can be used in a variety of ways to tailor a program for most any environment to improve communication and results within an organization. The program was well worth the time and effort it took to complete.”

The Taking Flight with DISC Assessment and Workshop
“The Taking Flight with DISC workshop was an eye-opener for our entire team. It gave us a shared language to better understand ourselves and one another, and we’re already putting those insights into practice. It was engaging, practical, and genuinely impactful.”

International Coach Federation Mentor Coaching for Credentialing and Growing Business
I’m and Executive and Career Coach and I connected with Stacey Bevill through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) for mentor coaching. I connected with Stacey because she has extensive experience coaching business professionals and is one of the most credentialed coaches I have encountered when it comes to coaching assessments.
I gained many key takeaways through Stacey’s mentor coaching that were beneficial in growing my coaching skills and optimizing my coaching practice and tools. She exposed me to many coaching assessments that I was not familiar with and helped me understand and navigate the benefits of each as I continue to strategize on what tools to utilize with my clients. Through listening to my coaching recordings, she identified areas of opportunities and gave concrete examples of how I could take my coaching to the next level, encompassing the whole of the person, emotions, and that which is often unspoken. I took away many new coaching questions as examples to probe deeper and get behind the surface words.
Stacey helped me in an area I was looking for clarity on –maintaining boundaries between coaching and consulting when clients are seeking direct advice. Finally, she left me inspired to continue to stretch myself to grow personally and professionally and further understand what work I feel called to do most. I am grateful for Stacey’s coaching as I continue my coaching journey with much reflection and excitement.

“I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Stacey Bevill for over 10 years. During this time, Stacey has supported me in many ways. — from designing and maintaining the website for Chris and Kelly’s HOPE Foundation to writing articles for it. She was also an incredible help when I wrote my book Don’t Forget Me. Stacey edited the manuscript and prepared it for submission to a New York publisher, and the book was published in February 2020. Stacey is hardworking, creative, and dependable. I consider her both a trusted business partner and a friend.”

“Stacey,
Your work with our Curriculum Development Team here at NCI has been remarkable. Your assessment and coaching are truly valuable and sustainable.
We consider your ability to present true principles so we can hear and immediately act on them as your gift. We are fortunate that you have found a business through which you can express this gift and strengthen others with it.
Our weekly meetings and day-to-day conversations are now filled with an awareness of each other’s energy patterns and how to apply them to our work and relationships.
We see where to strengthen and compensate for each other in complete respect, rather than wonder where the heck we’re coming from.
Our new knowledge has also provided a great source for humor and team building. Our load has been lightened by it and we’re more united and stronger than ever.”
Thank you.

Positive Intelligence and Professional Coaching for Team and Executives Review
I was experiencing a restlessness within our company and our employees. There seemed to be less tolerance for one another and I was perplexed as to the nature of the employees interactions with one another.
We were in the middle of a huge project for a hospital and we were working 6 days a week. I offered Positive Intelligence (PQ) to 5 people and 4 accepted. I saw a difference in the level of empathy and compassion for one another by week 2. The employee that didn’t want to do the program quit and the rest of the staff grew closer and became more productive.
I then offered it to my daughter who just graduated from college and to a client, both of who reported good results working with Stacey and PQ. All of us have benefited by understanding the behaviors that sabotage joy, creativity and positivity. We now have a means of every day moving behaviors to empathy and gratitude.
As a business owner, I have been through coaching and programs and I would say that Stacey taking all of us through PQ has been the most impactful. I have less fear and I now look for the gifts in the challenges. The money spent is worth it because you get coaching with Stacey and then an ap for a year.

Coaching and Assessment Review
I want to give a shout out and recognize my Professional COACH, Stacey Bevill. We met at a Spartanburg networking event and Stacey has been my Career Coach for 7 years now. It is not a 1 and done with Stacey. She genuinely cares about her clients and professionally follows up over the years as Stacey has earned more skills and certifications to share and Coach. I truly believe I have benefitted financially and personally by investing in my Coaching Sessions with Stacey. Some of the assessments include Cliftons Strengths Finders and FEBI/Focused Energy and HeartMath which helps lower stress/work anxiety with proven tools…and others. Thank you Stacey for being there to help me improve professionally and overlapping into strengthening my personal relationships also.

Speaker Review
Recently, Stacey Bevill shared her wisdom and deep experience with the Western Carolinas Coaches sub-chapter of ICF Charlotte. What an eye opening session full of powerful insights about the Four Essential Energies that we all can relate to and can share with our coaching clients. Stacey’s program was interactive, and even as a virtual presentation, there was so much richness with action videos demonstrating the 4 energies in real time. Thank you, Stacey for bringing so much amazing new learning to our group and also making it so much fun for all of us!

Career Transition Client Review
Stacey listened to my unique situation, having a bachelor’s degree, yet choosing motherhood as my first career; her coaching & consulting transitioned me into the professional world.
She heard what my core values were, even when I struggled to prioritize them.
Her joy is contagious!
She helped me eliminate opportunities that were not a good fit & discovered the natural gifting in me. I showed up with confidence because she asked challenging questions. Stacey coached to clarify my personal objectives & encouraged me with realistic examples.
Stacey & her collaborators provided me with resources & preparation to confidently network, apply & interview.
I now have a career that is fulfilling & rewarding. This experience opened up a world of possibilities beyond my imagination. This was by far the best investment in myself I could’ve ever made.
*One year later…Once again, I have to reach out & thank you. I had my annual review & got a raise. Things are going really well for me. What a difference a year can make.

ICF Mentor Coach Review
Stacey Bevill is a mentor coach who really cares about the success of her mentee. I felt that she really reviewed the recordings I sent her before our sessions and provided detailed, constructive feedback on my coaching skills according to the ICF Core Competencies. She collaborated with me to offer specific and actionable feedback on areas where I can improve. As a result, I feel that I have grown not only as a coach, but as a mentor coach as well.

Enneagram Assessment and Debrief
I recently worked with Stacey Bevill at Golden Career Strategies to take the Enneagram assessment. My debriefing with her was super helpful. Stacey helped me make sense of my results and understand how to use them in my work and in my daily life.

Review from HeartMath Workshop
The HeartMath training provided much needed and desired tools for our staff that can be used while working and in their personal lives. Stacey was personable and connected with us on a level that made us comfortable to ask questions and engage. The research data provided an extra layer of validation for those who are more scientifically inclined. I went home and used what I learned at home with my toddler. I am grateful for the gift of HeartMath. – India
I just wanted to thank you for the HeartMath training opportunity for our shop staff. It was so amazing for us and it was so timely. This is something we can use throughout our work day and personal lives. The employees that went really enjoyed it and all commented how much they loved the opportunity to be there.

FEBI Assessment, Coaching and Guidance
“Stacey has been amazing with her guidance, input and coaching. I had really been struggling with interviews and not getting any offers. The assessment and coaching sessions were instrumental in helping me get my new job. I feel much more prepared as I move into a new industry and will be using what I learned through the FEBI assessment and Mind Mapping / Heart Mapping towards developing more ideas and more possible outcomes to situations and projects. I highly recommend Stacey at Golden Career Strategies.”

Review from a professional coach (ICF PCC) that received mentor coaching from Stacey
How would you describe Stacey’s mentoring style? What are Stacey’s strengths as a mentor? Light, authentic, soulful, insightful, passionate
What did Stacey do which worked particularly well for you? Her listening skills and the focus on my “being” first before “doing.”
What new learning/perspectives/reminders did Stacey’s mentoring give you? To stay connected with myself to be able to connect with the client further
How did you or your coaching practice change as a result of mentoring with Stacey? Just having a conversation with Stacey brings you to a higher level of listening and presence. Her passion and energy are contagious. I am calmer and more focused in my coaching practice. Thank you, Stacey.
Presentation Review
“We were beyond honored to have Stacey Bevill at Bend Fit Yoga to lead an incredible workshop. Stacey brought an unmatched energy of love, authenticity, and wisdom that left everyone in the room deeply inspired. Her workshop was not only informative but truly transformative.
Stacey shared her journey of self-love, healing, and resilience, which is nothing short of miraculous. After overcoming life-threatening asthma and losing over 140 pounds, she now empowers others to focus on the four domains of well-being—Emotional, Mental, Physical, and Spiritual. Her heartfelt message reminded us all that self-love and self-care are at the core of living a healthy and fulfilling life.
One of the highlights was her practical, eye-opening worksheet that helped participants identify different types of stress and provided actionable techniques for managing them. The insights she shared about Positive Intelligence, mental fitness, and resilience were life-changing. Our members were captivated, asking countless questions, which Stacey answered with grace, depth, and true engagement.
Stacey Bevill is absolutely one of a kind, and we cannot wait to welcome her back. Her presence is a gift, and her teachings are transformative. If you have the chance to work with her or attend one of her workshops, don’t miss it—it’s an experience that will elevate your mind, body, and spirit! ✨
Thank you, Stacey, for sharing your light with us! ”

Testimonial for Golden Career Strategies (12-Week Coaching Package)
“First and foremost, just meeting Ms. Stacey Bevill on Day 1 was awesome. We immediately bonded and began mapping out a plan to assist me in life and in finding my new career. During the 12 weeks of coaching, I learned so much about myself and who I really was; it was simply incredible. The following were some of my key takeaways.
Coaching:
Working with Stacey was immensely helpful at a time when I felt lost. Most people would think a person with my background and my experience would have everything mapped out, but I needed help. Meeting with Stacy and just finding out things about myself, even at this stage in my career, I know my worth much better now. She helped me regain my confidence after not knowing which path I wanted to take now. I am more coherent and energetic, more ready for whatever’s going to come at me than I was before our coaching sessions.
Assessments:
• Strong Interest Inventory – This assessment helped me identify job and volunteer opportunities that I am best suited for.
• HeartMath Training
o Building Resilience – Not letting situations take away my energy, learning what drains and what renews me.
o Coherence – Simply staying coherent using HeartMath
o Inner-Ease Technique helped me immediately with my mental & emotional energy
• The FEBI assessment was awesome. It made me see where I focus most of my energy. Because I am now aware of my energy, I am able to shift to a different energy pattern when needed. For instance, I typically use Driver or Organizer, and can now access Collaborator energy easier.
• Enneagram assessment is an outstanding assessment. It helped me see more in-depth about my personality.
• HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) assessment was very interesting as well. I was surprised at my results and how spot-on they were. This assessment enabled me to be more aware of possible triggers so that I can maintain my resilience.
I’ve been to other professionals to discuss life issues and felt like I was a fly on the wall. With Stacey, there was 100% focus and 100% listening to everything I had to say. There was complete mutual respect and focus from both of us.”

Career and Life Coaching
“A friend of my family’s reached out to us during a difficult time in my life and suggested I talk with Stacey. I had never met with a life coach before, nor was it something I had ever thought I would need. However, sometimes “life happens” like it did for me, and I needed some extra support in how to move forward after grief. Stacey took such great care by listening to me and offering great insights and ways to move ahead – tools I still use to this day. She also helped me to identify a new career path which had been a much better fit for me. I recommend Stacey to anyone going through a hard season – she is an incredible coach and an even better friend!”

“First, I want to say thank you for your time, patience, and commitment to helping me on my journey.
The time spent together has been tremendously helpful for me and I feel as though it has helped me grow in a personal way which should also reflect on my professional life… I will continue to practice my breathing techniques as I navigate the future issues I face as I start my new career.
Again, thank you so much for your time. I am certain that your coaching will continue to help others as much as it has helped me.”
All the best,

Coaching and MBTI Testimonial
“I highly recommend Stacey Bevill of Golden Career Strategies. She had me take the Myers Briggs Type Indicator both Step 1 and Step 2. The report provided was very in-depth and comprehensive. She explained it very well and was willing to answer any questions I had about it.
The results gave me insight into myself and how I view and interact with people and the world around me. It also gave me insight and suggestions on ways to interact with people who have different ways of viewing and interacting with the world.
I have found what I learned from my Myers Briggs results to be very useful in my job search.
I strongly recommend Stacey Bevill and the Myers Briggs Type Indicator that she administers.”

Coaching and HeartMath Training Testimonial
“Stacey is a fantastic coach who really customizes the sessions based on the client. I can’t believe how much I’ve gotten out of only four sessions. I feel more centered and am excited about continuing to practice the techniques. HeartMath has been a wonderful addition to my life. Working with Stacey has been a joy!”

The Golden Course Testimonial
“I recently took the Golden Career Strategies course to guide me towards a new career. I was reluctant to take the entire course but looking back, I see that I learned something new from each coach. The assessments and detailed homework assignments highlighted my strengths and values which truly built my confidence. Stacey always provided support and encouragement to me with a smile, and Gene helped update my resume to one that makes me feel proud. After a few short months, I’m happy to report that Networking (which I was also reluctant to do) worked for me! I am now working in a career field that has always interested me and it utilizes my strengths and skills.”
SFH
Strong Interest Inventory Testimonial
“After college, I focused on a work path that was not as rewarding as I hoped it would be. The Strong Interest Inventory provided me with an analysis and explanation of the career opportunities best suited for me. With the Strong Interest Inventory, I learned what is most likely to appeal to me and what I derive meaning from in a workplace environment. Rather than pigeonholing me into a select path, it provided alternatives, options, and directions that I can take to achieve the fulfillment in life we all so desperately crave. It provided certainty to some thoughts I had had in the back of my mind and granted me the courage to give credence to those ideas and the willpower to explore them. As I move forward, the Strong Interest Inventory provides a roadmap for my journey through many avenues and ideas.”

Stacey’s coaching opened our eyes to the ways we work together and how to improve them.
“Our Curriculum Development Team recently worked with Stacey on the Focus Energy Balance Indicator (FEBI) assessment. We took the assessment individually to see where we ranked as individuals and as a group.
With Stacey’s guidance, we saw how we can continue to work in our strength areas and build up our weaker areas when needed. What an eye-opener! There were a lot of dots that Stacey connected for us to help us better understand our team’s efficient areas. We also saw the connections in weaker areas and now have a game plan to improve these areas.
This is the second training I’ve had with Stacey. She builds on principles of truth and makes them easy to apply without being judgmental. Once again, Stacey hit a home run.”

FEBI Assessment Peer Review
“Stacey,
As I reflect on the FEBI and our debrief discussion I am left with the idea of wisdom acceleration. FEBI can guide someone, or a team to reflect on their communication style and what they are ‘saying’ non-verbally. To take the time to self-reflect and to be open to the resulting wisdom often comes with age and experience. The FEBI presents it now, providing a path to desired individual and team results.
Too often leadership teams believe that an underperforming team is due to the team members. I would suggest that leadership and intra-team communication is the underlying cause. The FEBI, when embraced, can build true and lasting ways of communicating that quickly eclipse other forced and artificial methods espoused elsewhere. I’m impressed.”
Senior Consultant and Coach
Stacey’s coaching changed my life!
“I recently worked with Stacey in the intensive six-week Positive Intelligence program. I couldn’t be more pleased with my results in such a short time frame and continued strengthening. My goal was to develop better relationships, but I feel I’ve gained far more with her guidance.
Stacey’s support and questions helped me identify areas of my life that I was unintentionally sabotaging. With her help, I created a plan to deal with my “Judge” and “Saboteurs” who frequently hijacked my life without me even being aware of them. Once these traits had a name, I became more aware of them and how to work towards handling them.
I’m so grateful that I made the choice to work with Stacey. She’s been a blessing to me.”
