“My client list includes professionals and managers, artists and athletes, CEOs and sole proprietors. Some are celebrities while others are only well-known in their disciplines. They work in major media conglomerates, the entertainment industry, banks, Fortune 500 companies and entrepreneurial start-ups. No matter who my client is, I honor three important principles. First, I consciously do no harm. Second, I do not judge. And third, I protect privacy. What you say to me stays with me.” — Stephen Pollan
Stephen's Fans
"We've all been taught that money doesn't buy happiness. But the truth is that we are very emotionally connected to our money, our investments, and our real estate. Stephen is one of the few people I've met who not only acknowledges that connection, but embraces it. And his ability to gently and optimistically guide people through those treacherous waters is unparalleled."— Kevin Bacon, Actor
"In life, you are lucky if once or twice you meet someone who cares, serves as an inspiration, and pushes you to see the world from multiple dimensions. I am one of the lucky ones. Over the past year Stephen Pollan has assisted me in deepening my thinking and in surpassing my earlier hopes and dreams. Besides being a role model, more importantly, he has become a trusted friend and confidant. Stephen is a man of integrity and passion. His ideas and approach to personal development should be considered a model for all coaches to hope to achieve." — Tom Ellett, Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs, New York University
"Stephen is a great, and unusual, advisor and coach. He lives his life constantly reinventing himself, listening to that inner voice that so many of us choose to ignore when it says 'change' or 'not working for you anymore' or 'play big.' When you know your coach is doing it, and succeeding, it inspires you beyond what those coaches who are mere humans do." — Judy Girard, President, HGTV
"Most lawyers are like plumbers. 'Where's the leak? Stand back and hand me that monkey wrench. Here's the bill. See you later.' Stephen's nothing like that. He wants to figure out who you really are: What do you read? What is your idea of fun? How's your family? Where do you want to end up? Knowing all this, he can give you advice that makes sense for your big picture. He takes the care to explain every step of his decisions and suggestions and to really listen. Stephen invites you into the process as a collaborator. He takes the appellation 'counselor' to heart." — Bill Flanagan, Executive Vice President & Editorial Director, MTV Networks
"Stephen, thanks again for making such a huge difference in my life.
You are the best."
— Robert Weiss, General Manager, Fuse Network
