I met Dr. Bert Parlee in 2004 when he was leading an Integral Transformative Workshop in Colorado. Years later, while I was seeking ways to become “unstuck” regarding my transition to a new challenge after decades with IBM, I reached out to Bert to see if he would become my personal coach. Now, after nearly 10 months of coaching with Bert, I have gained a greater understanding into who I am and who I am becoming. Bert provides insight and wisdom across a wide range of disciplines. While using an active inquiry method of questioning and counseling to assist in understanding underlying issues, emotions, passions, blockages, and challenges, Bert has helped me develop my own insights and strategies that are assisting me in my professional career and in my personal relationships. I have immensely enjoyed our work together and recommend Bert highly.

Jon Palarz, L.A.

I have worked with Bert Parlee for the last 7 months in his role at the Stagen Group in Dallas, Texas. I have found Bert’s insights, experience and intellect to be of high value to me in my role with the Young Presidents’ Organization. Bert has been instrumental in digging into challenges that have come up, and working on a strategy to best address them. His advice and counsel has been extremely helpful and on the mark.

The key to Bert’s success in my humble opinion is his ability to listen, and to draw conclusions based on his experience and training. He offers both business based solutions, as well as a personal, people based perspective that fits my style very well. He is solutions oriented and is committed to making people successful.

I would highly recommend Bert to someone who is looking for a holistic approach to finding solutions.

David Cook, Executive Director, YPO

Bert is both compassionate and brilliant. Whether you are looking to become more healthy with where you are or transcend to the next level, I highly recommend partnering with Bert in your journey.

I wanted to thank you for the week long training and coaching you conducted for the various groups in our chapter. You were definitely the man for the job! I was very worried that one person wouldn’t be able to address all the different needs that our chapter had, but your background and education proved to be EXACTLY what we needed. Your name continues to be brought up at our chapter events and we look forward to working together in the future. Thanks again for the successful training and moderating… let’s stay in touch.

I have benefitted tremendously from Bert over the years. In my role as Dallas YPO Chapter Chair and Board member, I received great feedback from our members and spouses regarding Bert’s forum retreat facilitations. Bert provides both a secure and demanding container to explore personal life and business challenges. Having been in a partnership relationship from the outset with a senior member, Bert helped me expand my perspective so that I was better able to navigate my way through crucial conversations with this partner (with who I had father figure dynamics in play), enabling me to buy him out. The business has been able build into a whole next level of valuation, and is now becoming a national presence.
