"Every conversation with Gordo has inspired me to have more meaningful interactions with those around me. As the head coach of my hockey program and leader within the college, the mentorship and coaching has been invaluable to me. To have the ability to regularly talk with Gordo about ways to be a more transformational leader and motivator has proven to be a key part of my ongoing development and influence.

Simply, Gordo gives me confidence that I can handle anything that comes my way, which allows me to be a more successful individual."

"JGord as a performance coach, is the real deal for me. He has coached and spoken powerfully into my life over the last 12 years. I have always found that in 5 minutes or less, when I am in a face to face with Gord, he speaks directly into every roll I have in life. It is literally mind blowing.

It has been like that from our first face to face, 12 years ago to just a month ago. I've never seen anything like it before. If you allow him, Gord can get right past all the BS and speak directly into your mindset in no time. His coaching isn't just pumping your tires with motivation, Gord gets to the core of who you are and helps remove any blocks you have in becoming the best version of yourself and living your life's purpose to the fullness.

If you are a coach or leader needing a performance mindset coach, a life coach or a relationship coach, I highly recommend Gord... and get your pad and pen ready because you will walk away with more than you can imagine."

"I have known Gordon MacFarlane for 9 years I have learned how to develop and grow my relationships with my players and colleagues more effectively to produce the desired success and results of a top developmental Junior hockey program. Working with Gordo over the years has helped me develop a champion's mindset that has allowed me to grow tremendously as a leader and coach. As a direct result my programs success continues to grow along with my player advancement list which includes capturing our first National Championship last year.

I can't stress enough the importance of having a performance mindset coach to help anyone who is in a leadership role and works with people on a regular basis like I do."

"I have known and worked with Gordo over the past 12 years and he has been an excellent resource for me as a coach when I was looking to improve my overall communication and connection skills with my athletes.

The step by step process he has provided me has allowed me to be able to influence and coach my athletes to their potential. Thanks to his investment in me, I have been able to rise through the coaching ranks from Juniors to NCAA Division I and eventually to the NHL.

I would highly recommend Gordo as a performance mindset coach and trainer to take your confidence and influence to the next level.

Gordo’s ability to lead you and train you in performance mindset training concepts is second to none. His influence allowed us to be better prepared and better equipped to deal with people issues that would have kept us from performing to our potential years earlier. Highly recommend adding Gordo as a must have to your team of coaches.

He has been my secret weapon for several years, and I owe a lot to him. Not only has been a great role model but is one of my closest friends."
