Testimonials:

Working with Deliberate Breakthroughs has been an eye-opening journey. I walked in with imposter syndrome and heavy trauma from another boss that was impacting my work and relationships in my current role. I was always thinking about what I could have done better which was on constant replay in every situation all of the time. This rumination caused a lot of anxiety and stress in my new role. I became both the victim and villain in my own story. Being in this perpetual state of mind, kept my answers hidden from me. Andres pushed me to connect with my higher self, take back control of the driver's seat, and take a breath (which is something that I didn't even allow myself to do). I walked away being able to think as a leader, scan the landscape to think strategically for my team + coaching strategies, and reconfigure my mindset around breaks and wins. I am forever grateful to Andres for holding space for me and supporting me on my healing journey to become a true leader. Thanks a million times over for all the time and work we have done together.

Director of Client Services, Sol Marketing Agency

"Andrés helped us remember why we are healthcare professionals and refocus on each other and our patients. This has improved job enjoyment and satisfaction, reflected in the increased employee engagement scores. In addition, our patient experience scores also improved significantly. Together, we really achieved the impossible and became the model for the institution. My team has become a family that treats everyone with respect and trust. It is an exhilarating feeling, and everything is now possible."
