Important Business and Personal Decisions

June 30th, 2009 — tonymayo

Marcia Call

I have had the privilege of working with Tony as my executive coach for over two years now and highly recommend him.

He exemplifies the term, “coach.” His ability to listen to what others say and are not saying is unmatched. Plus, he has the rare gift of being able to incite others to take actions they have only dreamed of taking. I not only value his opinion but rely on it for important personal and business decisions.



Tony’s executive coaching has been the most valuable professional support I’ve ever received.

In the night, in the dark, the tragedy part was always to the front, and always warning, always threatening; and so I moaned and tossed, and sleep was hard to find. But in the cheerful daylight the tragedy element faded out and diappeared, and I walked on air, and was happy to giddiness, to intoxication, you may say.

–Mark Twain
The £1,000,000 Bank-Note

Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care,


The death of each day’s life, sore labor’s bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course,


Chief nourisher in life’s feast.

– The rueful murderer in
Shakespeare’s Macbeth
Act II Scene 2
