Testimonials for Tripp Lanier
"I had been searching for help to sort out frustrations with goals, follow through, and feeling like I'm constantly spinning my wheels when I found Tripp. Mainly I didn't feel sure about where my life was going and what I really wanted. I was worried it would be a waste of time and money to hire a coach, especially one I hadn't met personally since we worked together over the phone. But after the first call I knew it was what I needed. He really helped me learn to "check-in" with myself and figure out what was going on, and what I needed. Sometimes there would be big new insights and sometimes he'd just get me back on the track I already knew but wasn't following on my own.
After even just a few weeks I can say my wife noticed a change & I felt more confident and calm. This was a huge boost to the beginning of a lifelong growth process. I'd definitely recommend working with him. The process of talking the same time each week develops a routine with momentum and it works."
Matt N., Minnesota
“I was at point of deep dissatisfaction in my life. My marriage was flat and lacked connection, I was feeling dull and unfocused at work (in a job that I felt like I should have loved), and I was unable to get moving in a new creative pursuit I felt was the next phase of my life's purpose. After many, many months of wallowing in this painful, frustrating, and draining place, I knew I had to do something about it. I had been listening to The New Man Podcast for a year or so, and was drawn to Tripp's personality and his themes of clarity and action. I doubted I could afford to work 1 on 1 with him, but figured I only have one life, so I should at least inquire.
It was the best decision I've made in years. Tripp had no magic potion or spells, just simple questions that turned out to make all the difference. From the outset I felt at ease and comfortable talking with him. There's no BS with Tripp; he's a straight shooter who was fully attuned to me and didn't come at me with psychobabble or new age mumbo jumbo. He helped me break through walls I didn't know I was building for myself. In 5 weeks I accomplished goals I thought it would take a year to reach. That's a fact. I'm on my way to a better life, made of better moments. He gave me simple guidelines I can apply on my own, though I know he's just a phone call or email away if I want to talk to him. Oh, and best of all he's worth every penny.”

“Before working with Tripp, I felt lost and confused and frustrated beyond belief. I didn't know what I wanted and I was out of touch with my purpose. When I thought of hiring a coach, I thought ‘Can some guy who doesn't even really know me actually help me? And more importantly, WILL HE EVEN CARE!?’ I thought the financial investment was a big risk and I would really be taking a chance.
Working with Tripp allowed me to gain the clarity I needed to go for the career that fused my passion and my financial concerns. He helped me realize where I had old scripts running in my life - even to the point that I realized I wasn't even living my life for me! He helped me to reclaim the initiative to live my life for me and to own what I truly wanted. I felt like I could be my BEST SELF for the first time in my life - without needing the permission of anyone! And he has really helped me to develop a no B.S. relationship with myself, which has improved my relationship with my girlfriend, my friends, and the world at large.
I can really feel the full JOY of being ME and I get to have a life that really excites me! He helped me to find and live my purpose and has given me the tools to empower myself. I would most definitely recommend you 'get on it' when it comes to working with a solid, present guy like Tripp.

“I was waking up tired. I was unfocused at work. But the worst: I increasingly felt trapped; trapped by indecision, confusion, and really just getting in my own head. I had been to traditional "councilors"; but I could tell I didn't need someone to listen to me, I needed a kick in the ass. I needed someone to hear me, challenge me, and really get me out of my own way.
This is exactly what I got working with Tripp - he was very accommodating of both my work and payment schedule - but didn't let either be an excuse for me lapsing back into my malaise. Working with Tripp, I was challenged to walk through the resistance I put in my own way, and get in touch with the stuff I found really exciting; stuff that I had lost, or maybe never knew about myself. Tripp didn't let me get away with any excuses; and also challenged me not to get ahead of myself: no lying to myself, no posturing to myself. He encouraged me to get curious about my own feelings, and start to open up to them rather than censor my own experience.
Being totally honest, working with Tripp wasn't a cakewalk - he doesn't coddle. He's challenging, he's engaging, and he's going to ask you to be the same. Since working with him, in only a few months, I already see changes in my life; a new level of focus at work, able to enjoy myself again, a new kind of curiosity with women. Really, I'm just not in my head as much as I was; I'm curious about new things in life. If your find yourself reading any of this, and feel a little tinge of fear thinking about making the plunge into working with Tripp, then do it -- that's the sign; that fear is pointing you in the right direction. Tripp helped teach me that.”

“I had some serious doubts about what tangible outcomes could be achieved with a coach. I have always been a self-help book-reading-looking-for-my-purpose-everywhere-unfocused-type-of-guy. The idea of actually being held accountable to an authentic man who would call BULLSH*T when I was holding back or not facing my sh*t was scary to me.
Now after working with Tripp for a full year I can say without any reservation I am a BETTER MAN. With his help, we set tangible goals and he will keep my feet to the fire when he sees me losing focus. Another really cool thing about his coaching is that he will help you formulate what I like to call my “fundamentals of wholeness”, which are the things that I do daily to keep me connected to my CORE VALUES.
I have learned and gained many things from working with Tripp, but the one thing that I truly appreciate the most is the sense that I don’t have to go looking for answers outside myself. I have more integrity about what I want out of life. If you are on the fence about hiring Tripp, don’t be. Tripp will go over and above your expectations.”
S.T., Denver, CO
I’ve had four personal coaches in the past five years, and ultimately I dropped them all, thinking I was just too slippery for them.
I got to know Tripp through his podcast. I thought, “This guy is laser sharp.” Then I signed up for his group calls and listened to him work with other guys. He did not disappoint.
Then my mom died, my freelance copywriting gigs dried up, and my relationship was going downhill. On top of that, I was having trouble with my theatre group, the one area where I had found my true purpose. I got depressed and was doing all the things I knew not to do (numbing out in a big way). I could feel that little Saboteur inside me fingering the “Let’s F*** This Up” button. So, I decided I needed to give myself the gift of Tripp’s coaching before I crashed.
Tripp advised me to take a step back. Instead of jumping in with guns blazing, we focused on the fundamentals of self-care. I was exhausted and didn’t even know it. You can’t get far on empty. He helped me discover what was true, and how I was dancing around the truth, trying to avoid upsetting others. After every meeting, he asked me to write a recap of what I got from our calls, which proved to be very valuable and helped the coaching stick.
With Tripp’s help, I grew a third testicle (or perhaps just found the two God had given me) to deal with unnecessary dramas in my life, and got the confidence to calm the parts of myself that believed I wasn’t worthy of the good things coming to me. In the end, I got clear, focused and at choice in my life.
Derek D., Sedona, AZ
Before I hired Tripp, I was confused about my career path. I had a fairly good idea about what I didn’t want to do, but not so much what I really wanted. After working together for a while, Tripp showed me how to listen to my body, and how to filter out the noise and really listen to that voice within.
I loved becoming more aware about the things that energize me, and the things that really weigh me down. I was surprised to discover that such little things that energize me, when put together and done consistently can have such an amazing impact on my whole life. This has been an amazing journey and I would highly recommend working with Tripp to anyone who is looking for more clarity in their life.

“The thing is ... the few sessions I had with you actually helped me to "grow a pair" and do something radical with my life. You might remember that I was conflicted about purpose, spirituality and trying to find balance between career and family. It's strange how the small decisions we make can end up making a massive difference. My decision to decline a promotion and concentrate on my family values has ended up with a significantly better opportunity for both myself and my wife. I believe the lessons I learned from you about being in touch with my desires, aligning these with my values and expressing what I want have been instrumental in bringing this about. So I'd like to say another big thank you and let you know that I'll be in touch in a while for some more coaching.”
Paul Manson, Glasgow, U.K.
“Tripp is the reason that I now feel like I'm on fire. I came to him shut down and lost, running unconsciously on a script I hadn't written. With honor, grace, skill and compassion, Tripp helped me cut through the crap, and to really look at what was going on for me. He challenged me, and he called me on my bull shit. He supported me with such a high level of skill, through the good and the bad, all the while going deeper, and further. I have developed a through understanding of myself with the help of Tripp. I know what I need to do to make my life awesome, because now it is. I know what I need to do to be myself, because now I am.
I am so grateful to you Tripp, you have really helped me transform my life. When it was too dark and scary, you lead me through things I couldn't have done alone. When things have been great, you helped me celebrate and have a laugh. I am truly grateful, and look forward to working with you again soon.”
Simon Lawry, Brisbane, Australia
I really want take a minute to express my gratitude for you and our work together over the past three months. This is a time in my life when I'm going thru a pivotal transition, and have been in need of guidance, advice and wisdom. You've really come thru for me on all fronts and been an incredible teacher. I'm constantly humbled by your knowledge, sensitivity, charisma, humility and leadership. You're great at what you do, Tripp. You've set my life on a different course, and I'll be forever grateful for that. I'm really looking forward to picking back up in the forth coming months.

“Tripp’s coaching was game-changing for me. My overall quality of life improved dramatically and major issues that I never addressed were overcome. I'd recommend Tripp's coaching to anyone...you can't put a price tag on taking your life to the next level.”
Brandon Fitzgerald, Graphic Designer, Chicago
“Tripp's sensitive yet rock-solid coaching had me be
more productive creatively in three months than I'd been in
many years before.
I highly recommend him for anyone interested in
taking serious steps in a direction that is consistent with
their true dreams.”
Mikkel
Nielsen, Professional Musician, Denmark
To
anyone on the fence about hiring a coach over the phone, I
was also skeptical at first. I had never done this before
and had no idea about what kind of results were possible
over the phone, if any. However one thing I did know was
that I had a burning desire to overcome my own personal
problem (shyness) and was willing to do more than reading a
few books to solve it. I took the plunge and scheduled a
meeting with Tripp and am glad I did it. Not only has he
helped me relax and logically think about my problem, I am
able to enjoy myself and actually have fun with it. I have
already achieved great results after 3 months of coaching.
Tripp has coached me using a model that does achieve
results no matter what aspect of your life you are looking
to pursue and the results, while based on your own work,
are definite. I highly recommend hiring Tripp as a coach to
work with any aspect of your life you are willing to
expand.
JC, Erie, PA
I
was pretty stuck and there has been a clearing. You were
part of that. You introduced me to some practices that I
still value highly in my life and to some ideas that
continue to resonate deeply with me on a daily basis.
So, I, for one, am hoping you get what you want this year
cos there is a shit load of coaches out there making money
with a damn sight less talent and knowledge than yourself.

"There
are many coaches out there in the field of life, yet few
who separate themselves with the experience, knowledge,
skills and clarity to guide those who seek them out.
Well,
I am here to tell you of a fine and wonderful professional
coach and human being--Tripp Lanier.
Tripp was referred to me by my wife, a professional
psychotherapist. Since
working with him she gained clarity about her passion,
vision and direction with her profession. Her practice has
flourished ever since.
Over the past three months I have been working with
Tripp to gain traction with a couple of business concepts
and move forward after a tumultuous melt down with partners
in another venture earlier this year. Tripp's
sensitivity, empathetic style and ability to relate with my
strong entrepreneurial and artistic bent have proven a
perfect match. He understands the fears, frustrations and
blocks I faced in moving my projects from concept into form
then delivery. Tripp has a unique knack for tracking with
his clients and moving them swiftly at a comfortable pace
built around each individuals limitations, skill set and
timing. This is something I really appreciate. He
graciously gives of himself.
He is an exceptional resource for anyone looking to get
their life in gear on higher ground. He's my choice as a
coach.
But you need to put him to a test yourself to confirm what
so many of us have experienced with Tripp. So why waste a
moment more?"

“Tripp is an amazing coach. He challenged me with a no BS
approach and compassionately supported me when I was
vulnerable. Tripp helped me to open up and tap into my
powerful presence as a man, something that influences
everything I do. I was able recognize the power of
presence, to be authentic in honoring my needs, to be
authentic in my relationship with my wife, and to tune into
my body which is a gateway to my emotional world. My work
with Tripp was not limited to that time but continually
serves me, revealing new and deeper insights all the time.”

"Hey
Tripp- I just wanted to thank you in general for everything
we have been working on. I can honestly say that this is
the best my life has ever been, and the clarity I am
getting in our sessions has been so valuable to me."

“When
I started working with Tripp, I didn’t have a clear goal of
what I wanted to accomplish with the coaching. I knew that
there were areas in my life that I was not happy with.
Tripp helped me peel off the layers and get closer to the
core issues that were holding me back. I realized that I
was focusing on my obligations and not able to find
inspiration. Once I was able to focus on what inspired me,
I started to get over my paralysis and began to move
forward with a clearer direction – and most importantly, a
lot more fun.”

"I
was in a situation that perhaps other men find themselves
in at some point in their lives. The 'recipe' I was using
(hard work, dedication, results at all costs, pain as and
if necessary, material gains) suddenly did not work
anymore. Tripp helped me look at the core of what I am and
helped me realize what it means...to extract true meaning
in my life’s work. Tripp can transform himself deftly from
a friend to a consultant to a mentor to a spiritual guide
and back as needed. [He] is a truly powerful individual
that has the capacity to go wherever he needs to go for his
people. I will always remember the incredible commitment
that Tripp brought to my life."
Frank
Dobner - Illinois
"1
on 1 coaching with Tripp has been invaluable to me in the
last 6 months. He has an amazingly intuitive ability
to feel what's really going on with another person, which
in my case meant he often pointed out things I was feeling
but was completely unaware of. Plus, his ability to
simultaneously both support and challenge me in my growth
is a truly wicked combination I've yet to find anywhere
else. His guidance has helped me gain both an
increased clarity and appreciation for my life's purpose,
relationships, and way of being in the world.
And perhaps best of all, he makes things FUN with his great
sense of humor."
Jason
Lange - Boulder, CO
"Most
of the time it takes a unique perspective to shine a light
on the gifts we have to offer the world. Tripp has helped
me create more value for the people in my life just by
stepping into myself and being fearless. As an artist, my
path is to create authentic affluence and Tripp truly
brings the competitive advantage. Worth every penny!"

"Tripp
Lanier is a freak. How else can you explain the fact that
he can be a successful video producer, business manager,
music producer and artist, designer, software developer,
strategist and coach—all in one person? One of the main
things I've admired about him is that in addition to his
brilliance, creativity, and success, he is such an
easy-going, down-to-earth, fun, funny regular guy you just
enjoy being with. I think just about anyone wishing to tap
more of their own innate creative capacity to reach more of
their potential would benefit from his extraordinarily
versatile talent."
