Preston True’s Summary
Preston provides personal and professional guidance, training and tools that challenge you and your organization to re-think what is possible in your life or business, and to gain access to your personal best. This may be in any area including leadership, business growth and development, sales and marketing, personal projects, career, or overall leadership development questions.
Certainly, you have done your best with what you already know. You may have even consulted with professionals, read books, attended seminars, and/or attended classes to get the right advice, perspective or information. The outcome, though incrementally better, is not always satisfying and is rarely permanent.
A coaching engagement with Preston is designed to break through what is normal or predictable for you. Coaching provides access to that which is unpredictable, unknown and discontinuous with your past experiences. Like an Olympic champion, you have a coach to reach what seems unattainable regardless of the past.
Indeed, breakthrough results do not come from simply trying harder or being in the right place at the right time. Personal and professional excellence comes from commitment, and being in action with your coach as a guide. You speak, listen, do the training and get the results. You are accomplishing from a new awareness in your life. No longer confined to reacting, or acting from the past, you are able to create a powerful future.
Preston works with technical professionals and organizations who are interested in a once and for all shift in a particular area of their business. The shift is permanent, and alters who you are now and in the future. You are able to see, and to take action from, a new and more powerful place. You are able to attain, have and keep what you really want.
Preston provides you with the tools and support to have a business, organization or life by design…your design.

Helping technical professionals earn what they're truly worth
Accomplishment Coaching
(Privately Held; Professional Training & Coaching industry)
October 2004 — Present (4 years 10 months)
I work with brilliant technical professionals in shifting their relationship with time, money and resources so they can earn what they're truly worth. Some of the challenges they face are:
- Struggling to attract more profitable clients
- Frustration with colleagues or employees, or themselves, for not stepping into critical leadership roles
- Concerned their team will not exceed, let alone meet, sales or business development goals
- Upset they've been passed up for a promotion or been treated unfairly
You may not be dealing with these issues, but you may know someone who is. Please contact me for a no-obligation discovery session. -
