"Otan was introduced to me at a time in my life when I was experiencing emotional pain from a betrayal by close friends. It involved my business and had the potential to seriously disrupt it. At the same time our company was dealing with rapid growth and interest from outside investors. All this happened during “Covid times” so the environment in general was very challenging. Otan’s mentoring helped not only myself but key executives navigate through these difficult times. He has been, and continues to be, a stabilizing force and guiding light. I would strongly recommend Otan to those facing challenging times.”

Jim Walton, Founder and President , Southwest Greens of Florida

"I needed an external confidant, since there were few inside the organization that could be brought into a circle of trust without compromising my position. Otan offered an objective, third-party viewpoint, and brought tools to draw out key points and measure performance.”

Jeff Schneider, GM, Teradyne Inc

"Since meeting Otan nearly a decade ago, I have relied on him during countless occasions to help navigate unclear decisions both in business and in personal life. He has an incredible ability to step back and view the big picture, helping me address seemingly insurmountable obstacles with thoughtfully focused strategies. What impresses me most is his ability to reference his 40+ years of experiences in business and personal development to help others gain clarity in the most complex of circumstances. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a confidant to help overcome unwanted corporate behaviors, resolve cultural discord, and establish healthy work-life balance.”

- Kyle Firle, Executive, ActivTrak

"The ability to bring Otan into very critical situations, to help get clear focus on what needed to be done, made a timely difference. In some cases these were highly personal issues that could have blown up in my face but didn’t. His availability and expertise were essential to my management.”

Paul Wright, VP Sales, MSC Software

“I needed to resolve a difficult organizational change. I was able to see where my leadership approach was counterproductive and immediately corrected it.”

Doug Elder, Executive VP, Test Advantage

“Circumstances seemed completely beyond my control. I was skeptical anyone could help me in my new role because everything was complicated and urgent. In a very difficult economic climate, we improved our net revenue by over 12%. I also achieved a lifetime dream of completing the NYC Marathon in 4 hours”

Keith Space, President, S&S Hotel Management

“Otan has become a remarkable sounding board. Especially as we started, he became a place of sanity. I learned to slow my crazy pace and to look more closely at what I was actually doing. What I really wanted to do became clear. This led to a series of changes. I’m focusing on more of what I care about more of the time.”

Susan B, Eugene, Oregon

“I’ve learned to stop, look and listen, which was no small step. Working with Otan has become a place of clarity where I refocus on trusting myself. I’m more consistently on my game and act decisively.”

Kasey M, Los Angeles, CA

”I quickly employed the roadmap and accountability to look at and keep looking at what I really felt and wanted, while not getting sidetracked by my usual stop points. Some of it was not easy. But I realized dealing with my challenges doesn’t have to be complicated or seem impossible. I’m moving forward.”

Brian W, Austin, TX

“Some of the processes we worked with, as simple and practical as they are, were different from anything I had experienced in my pursuit of a successful career. Yet they helped peel away layers of shoulds and can’ts. Then my realization exploded as I saw there was a mindset beyond my fears.”

Joan K, Hackensack, NJ

“Some of our early work took me out of my comfort zone. But then it got easier than I had feared. Otan helped me put into words some of the things I've been feeling for years. It was like an inner light turned on. I'm able to deal with situations I'd believed were beyond my reach.”

Patrick F, Austin, Texas

"Otan is engaging, intelligent and compassionate. This helped me refocus through years of struggle to regain control of my personal and work life. Along with the insights and accountability, what caused my breakthrough was learning to sense and follow my inner guidance.”
