WRITTEN TESTIMONIALS
Hi, I am David Telisman, founder of David Telisman Communications. I am friend and client of PJ’s. I am going to tell you things about PJ that you already know. But it is important to hear how she has changed my life. I was lost, floundering in the wilderness, but I had the awareness that I needed help to truly access my potential.
PJ has opened my mind in ways that I didn’t think were possible and that didn’t require that I experiment with LSD. On a busines level she’s a problem solver and opportunity creator.
My imposter syndrome has always gotten the best of me, but PJ Is so attuned to my self-imposing limitations and has inspired me to develop new pathways in my brain to believe that I can fulfill my entrepreneurial spirit.

“PJ is one of the most giving people I know. She is always willing to jump in and help no matter the task. Her efforts over the past 8 weeks have transformed many many lives. I would recommend her to anyone in need!”

“Hi my name is Charmaine Conaghan and I own and operate Always Best Care Senior Services located in Glenview, Illinois. We are a caregiving agency. We send people to help folks with activities of daily living wherever they are, whether they are in their own homes or in a facility.
To say nine years ago when I started my business that I have a lot to learn is a vast understatement. As it happens PJ Weiland started ActionCOACH shortly after I started Always Best Care and our coaching relationship started soon thereafter. It’s been several years since we began working together. PJ likes to say that she helps business owners with time, team and money. I’ve heard her say it many times and it is so true. I’m here to tell you that after nine years I run a thriving agency with over one hundred employees, in large part because PJ has guided me through all three of those aspects.

“Move Me has operated for 25 years and when I asked PJ Weiland of ActionCOACH to help me start over and rebuild my business. I understood the overwhelming process of moving, what I did not have however, was any concept of how to run a profitable business. PJ has guided me weekly through finances, structuring business systems, developing sales and marketing and working with my team.
PJ’s impressive business knowledge, experience and talents for teaching helped me work ON the business not IN it with accountability, perseverance, enthusiasm and belief in success. It is impossible to express my gratitude and encourage anyone who wants to achieve more in their business than they should contact PJ of ActionCOACH.”
Mary Jane Keller
“Not only is PJ Weiland an elite business coach, she is a caring individual whose life mission is helping people both personally and professionally. When she’s not helping businesses succeed, PJ gives back to the community, volunteering her time and expertise to numerous charities and business groups. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Gary Eisenstein
“I’ve know and worked with PJ Weiland for many years now. Time after time she has shown a propensity to help others, not just in her work as an Action Coach, but with charities, communities etc. PJ is simply the kindest most giving person I know. I appreciate everything she’s done, especially during this pandemic to help others. She’s second to none!”
Geoffrey Horwitz
“Before I met PJ, “zoom” was a show I watched when I was growing up. PJ has given me the tools, and the confidence, to try new approaches and stay positive in an ever changing landscape.”
Samantha Breden
“I really can’t provide enough accolades for PJ Weiland. Both as a business advisor and friend, she is truly one of the best people and biggest givers that I know. She can come up with plans to improve any business and is truly on a mission to help everyone she works with. You won’t regret working with PJ.”
Paul Kaufmann
“I have never worked with a coach before, but what you offer and the accountability you expect makes me want to continue to work with you. You have been so encouraging and giving with your expertise and experience. I look forward to my bi-weekly zoom meetings and I thank you so much for the value you add to my professional development.”
Sara Jane Abbott
“I have known PJ for over 10 years and recognize her as an excellent thinker and communicator. Because of her broad business background, she has the ability to help business owners ‘step outside of their businesses’ and gain insight into ways by which they can achieve more successful bottom-line results.
She consistently develops various ways to motivate clients and helps them take their businesses to the next level of achievement. Need to have a speaker at your next meeting or networking event? PJ is a wonderful speaker and will command the attention of everyone in the audience!
I would recommend PJ to help you with your business.”
Wayne Karlins
“I met PJ at a networking event 6 years ago and she was one of the best connections I have ever made. Through the years I attended many of her workshops and speaking engagements. Her knowledge as a business coach and mentor has helped me to improve my marketing skills.
In March of 2020 all of our lives, both personally and professionally, were turned upside down by Covid-19. It was with PJ’s professionalism and kindness that she jumped into “Action” by offering free workshops to our communities. With her efforts she helped change the mindset and lives of so many people. She has a way of making you feel comfortable about stepping outside the box and believing in yourself. Her coaching style is energizing and contagious. If you’re looking for a someone to help you grow personally and professionally, PJ Weiland of ActionCOACH is the person to call.
Thanks PJ for your knowledge, experience, kindness, humor and friendship over the years.
with PJ.”

“We decided to make a major change in the structure of our company. As we attempted to map out how this was going to work many challenges faced us that were unexpected. Working in our industry for 27 years we have become very proficient at our job, but business structure and administration was not our strong suit. I met PJ from ActionCOACH at a Chamber of Commerce event and began working together soon after.
Having a coach is different than having a consultant. A consultant tells you what direction you should be going in and how to do it. A coach empowers YOU to determine what should be done and then gives you the tools to achieve those goals. To get the most out of “Coaching” you really need to make a commitment of time and hard work to achieve results, and it is not always fun, but the results are yours.
Mike Schiestel
“I started working with PJ years ago when I joined a new business and we were looking to grow. I was feeling excited to service my clients but my education didn’t provide me with enough business acumen to grow on my own. PJ armed me, and my partner with the correct knowledge, structure, support and encouragement to thrive. PJ is understanding, honest and has helped me to create systems and strategies to reach my goals. Thanks to PJ, I am now an empowered person with the right knowledge and systems in place to thrive.”
Jordan Burstein
“As for so many others, COVID-19 and stay at home orders greatly scaled back my opportunities for networking, face to face meeting and socializing, which are often fertile ground for great ideas, collaboration, guidance and support. I was adrift, at the worst time when I was tasked with finding a solution for a crucial project with much at stake. Through smart marketing and networking techniques of her own, I connected with PJ and everything about my project changed from then on
Susan Swaringen
Thanks so much for working with Tom and the business this year to give us the gift of time to spend with each other! What a remarkable turn things have taken – thank you! Wish we could give you the time you’ve given us back.”
Jess and Tom Hutchison
“I was looking around for some inspiration and help with marketing when our sales dropped by 90% during the coronavirus. Now, instead of relying on our wholesale & distributor customers, we had to rely on our website and Amazon store to help pay the rent. I read about a webinar with PJ sponsored by the Greater Wheeling Chamber of Commerce in an email. I jumped at the chance for help and PJ was extremely helpful. She had some great ideas for pivoting sales and getting new markets.
I then joined her Mindset and Marketing Webinar series. She and the other people in the group have been great. Very helpful in getting me focused and pointed in the right direction. I’ve learned a lot and ventured into new territory with my online marketing skillset. When this lockdown is over, I know that my company will be stronger & have a more diversified customer list than before. I highly recommend PJ for help with coaching and marketing strategies.”
Nancy Jones
“PJ has been my business coach for the past 2 years. Her genuine, kindness and spirit is beyond expectations. Her knowledge and helpfulness as my coach has given clear directions in all aspects in my business endeavours.”
