Testimonials

I was laid off just two months prior to the birth of my daughter.  My wife and I decided that it was best for our family to have one parent stay at home, and that I should postpone looking for work.  Over time, I began to feel depressed by the lack of fulfillment and purpose that a career had given me.  I tried my hand at several side hustles, while being a full-time father, but felt like I was spinning my wheels.  Without the structure that my previous job had imposed, I struggled to hold myself accountable.  Lee helped me break down big problems into smaller, more easily manageable ones.  His approach was direct and effective, allowing me to discover for myself the answers I was looking for through leading questions, rather than simply telling me what he thought the answer should be.  As a result, I have been able to make meaningful progress on my work, while managing a home and full-time fatherhood.  Thank you Lee!

I recently worked with Lee for coaching to prepare for job interviews, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From day one, his depth of knowledge and experience helped me sharpen not just my interview skills, but also the way I think about my personal and professional growth. Lee encouraged me to look at the interview process—and myself—from new angles that I wouldn’t have considered on my own. He’s one of the most compassionate, thoughtful, and insightful coaches I’ve ever encountered. His insider perspective on what companies and agencies are truly looking for gave me a real advantage. But what stood out most was how Lee's coaching went beyond just interview prep. He helped me build confidence and develop practical life skills that I continue to use every day. Thanks to his guidance, I landed a job I truly wanted and I feel more prepared for whatever comes next. If you’re considering coaching to improve your interviewing, gain clarity, or grow in your career and life, I wholeheartedly recommend Lee. He really knows what he’s doing—and he genuinely cares.

I had an exceptional experience working with Lee Hickinbotham as my life coach. As a first-generation law enforcement officer, I faced unique challenges, stressors, and anxieties throughout my career. Lee provided invaluable guidance, support, and perspective during those difficult times. Whether our sessions were conducted outdoors or via Zoom, Lee consistently created a safe, professional, and nonjudgmental environment where I felt comfortable being open and honest. His coaching approach encouraged meaningful self-reflection, personal accountability, and growth. Rather than simply offering advice, Lee challenged me to look inward, recognize my own strengths, and develop the confidence and resilience needed to overcome obstacles. Lee has a remarkable ability to help his clients gain clarity, navigate adversity, and realize they are capable of more than they often believe. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a thoughtful, supportive, and effective life coach.
