"Chip's approach of teaching communication skills and illustrating them with his own personal experiences was very helpful, and surprisingly effective. In just seven sessions, we learned enough to effectively work through personal issues and significantly improve our communication as a couple. Both of us are very pleased with the result." - B.S.M. and B.M.S.
"I went to Chip for personal coaching. He gave me the guidance and tough love that I needed to overcome my stumbling blocks and self limiting beliefs." - D.R., Medical Supervisor
One of Chip's gifts is his ability to articulate that which my spirit knows but I have not yet formed the concept in my mind. Often, when Chip supplies the words or more fully formed concept, it deepens my ability to explore ever more deeply. - S.B.
"In the midst of hearing a long explanation or tale, Chip has the ability to zero in on the piece that is the issue. He then focuses on that and defines the real issue and the point at which transformation can occur. He does this with wisdom, humor and compassion, and the result is often a great teaching." - B. M., Counselor
"Recently, I worked on Active Listening with Chip August ...I learned about AL with brand-new clarity and depth, despite years' experience. In an hour I had more structural insights into what I was doing than ever before. Chip was provoking, profound, and funny, as only Chip can be. Want to take AL to a whole new level? Go sit at Chip August's knee!" - B. N., poet
"I really enjoyed your presentation on active listening ... I thought the examples of how to do it were especially useful, and the example of what was not active listening was not only amusing but very helpful." -R. P., Computer Engineer
"Last year I took an Active listening course with Chip August. I drove from my home just north of Lake Tahoe for this one day class and was deeply rewarded. I am a chiropractror. A large part of my practice is based on listening to my patients to understand where their symptoms are originating. Is it physical or is it emotional? The easiest way to determine it is to listen and if it does have some emotional component then listening can really help to allow the patient to begin to heal. Right on cue the next day after I took his AL seminar I had a patient come in in an emotional chrisis. By following his steps and digging further together my patient and me were able to resolve her issues easily."
"Bottom line if you really want to be a better listener take his class."
Dr. M.B., Chiropractor
"I've been around a lot. Done a lot of different things. Chip August is one of the best!" -B. S., Retired
