TESTIMONIALS

"I have coached over 30 years, divided mostly between the NHL, AHL and WHL. Besides obvious skills needed to play hockey, the successful players are the ones with the best mental skills. Players need the ability to process the game quick – not just skate quick – have acute awareness to respond quickly. They also need to be able remain present (not be mentally distracted) by challenges presented by opposing players, refs, teammates and coaches. The game of hockey requires warrior like mindsets to battle physically and to be able to focus on one shift at a time.

Walter’s two presentation on “The Sports Zone – What it is and How to get there more often”” and” “Understanding Performance – COR.E Dynamics blueprint for Success” to our entire team this year was helpful in preparing them mentally for the upcoming season. His equation of “Performance = Potential – Interference”, and his COR.E Performance Dynamics’ 7 levels of energy helped the players and coaches understand the mind/energy connection to performance. They learned how to be mindful in the moment and where distractions that affect their game negatively can come from. His work with individual players helped them gain confidence, awareness, and belief in themselves. Over the course of the season his sharing of about the 7 energy influencers (distractions) and 10 disciplines, helped our team keep focused on playing one game, one shift at a time. This enabled my players to implement my game plan and carry a very high compete level.

I have always believed that anytime you can reach/help even one player with any program you introduce to your team it is worthwhile. This season, having a present moment mindset and learning how to minimize distractions, helped many of my players tap into their potential and experience personal and team success. Walter’s passion and desire to help players become not only better players on the ice but also off the ice, is in line with my coaching philosophy. The COR.E Performance Dynamics principles taught by Walter Aguilar have been helpful and worthwhile. "

"When I initially learned about the CORE Performance Dynamics program, the first thing that went through my mind was, why didn’t I find something like this before?

On a variety of the NHL teams I played on, their approach to mental performance was to bring in a sports psychologist that would show up once in a blue moon and try to meet with you for five minutes to figure out ways to help you mentally. It was almost impossible to accomplish anything because there was never enough time to develop trust with them or for them to truly understand you.

The ELI performance assessment helps you discover things about yourself because it encourages you to be honest in how you feel in certain situations and beliefs that you might not be even be aware of. Having an awareness of the energy influencers (distractions) and COR.E disciplines back when I played, would have affected the way I would have prepared for games. I worked with Walt Aguilar on this and I know it works. Would I recommend it? …absolutely! Another reason why it works, is because Walt cares about what he does and more importantly, the individual he works with. It is his passion and it shows. "

"Walter Aguilar is a certified COR.E dynamics specialist and certified professional coach who presented information to the Everett Silvertips about how to achieve a positive mental state, and how important the mental aspect of competition is, to have a successful experience.

As an Assistant Coach for the Silvertips, and former professional hockey player, I have seen first hand how important it is to be mentally tough in a highly competitive environment. Walter was able to educate the team about the different thought processes that athletes can experience, and how each level can lead to optimal, or sub-optimal performances.

Walter was able to engage the locker room, which is comprised of 15-20 year olds, in a way that made the information easy to understand while maintaining the complexities of the process. He was very professional throughout the entire process, and many players on the team were interested in continuing to talk with, and learn from Walter after the initial presentation. I have no doubts that Walter Aguilar will do whatever it takes, and be successful in getting athletes to experience a peak mental performance. "

"Working with Walter and the COR.E Performance Dynamic program this season has been a great experience. Walter has presented the COR.E Dynamic principles to me in a way that I can truly apply them to everyday life as a pro athlete. His ability to relate to me as an athlete and student has allowed me to grasp the concepts quick and effectively. Walter's professionalism and passion has been very impressive. His ability to come prepared to every session and follow up on the content, truly shows his investment in my future, both as an athlete and a person."

"Working with Walter has been an absolute privilege and a God-send. I started working with Walter during a particularly challenging point in my career: I had started consulting on a high stress project with a major client undergoing a massive business transformation initiative. I had never experienced such daily difficultly in completing assignments in time and on quality standards. Through working with Walter, he helped me learn to identify how stress reactions were blocking my peak performance and to develop and implement easy-to-use practices for managing stress and optimizing my performance. As a result, I've been able to transform my performance at work: my management and clients see me in new light and, more importantly, I show up at work with lower levels of stress and higher levels of confidence. I also am an avid practitioner of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and as we progress, Walter has helped me apply these lessons of peak performance to my sport. I can't wait to see these results blossom. I couldn't recommend working with Walter enough."

"Walter Aguilar walked into my life as a referral of a very good friend and a professional athlete, whom I respect and admire very much. He strongly encouraged me to hear what Walter had to say, so I did. Knowing that Walter was a high performance athletic coach, I wondered how he may be able to help me in my line of work. I am a Sales Director of over twenty years, with Mary Kay Cosmetics, and empower women for a living. However, I too, am in a performance based career, so I was intrigued with what Walter could bring to the table to improve my performance.

This past year, I was thrown off my game, after I experienced a very challenging personal issue. I knew internally that I needed to connect back to my passion of what I do. Walter was exactly what I needed! I was really blown away and impressed at his depth of insight into human performance, motivation and transformation. As a COR.E Performance Dynamics Specialist, he explained that what we do is not who are. Becoming aware of our authentic selves, and how we show up in our life roles energetically, is what affects our performance in any endeavor. I then decided to do an Energy Leadership Index assessment and debrief with Walter. As a result, I learned of some of my stress triggers in communicating with myself and others. This awareness of how I show up energetically in my life and recognizing what energy others carry in the moment, felt like magic, and gave me hope.

As a sales director, I have worked with many women and helped them break through barriers and lift levels of enthusiasm and passion to become high achievers, as I had. However, having Walter as my private coach, I realised I was the one who needed to connect with my passion. Walter is precise and brilliant in the way he communicates his wisdom. He has compassion for people and passion for what he does really shines through. He has taught me that awareness of my thoughts and the energy they create in my life was the first step to change. Then having the “want to” to shift that energy to one that serves me and others positively, is key in changing my outcomes and enjoying the process again.

This awareness of how I show up energetically in my life and recognizing what energy others carry in the moment, felt like magic, and gave me hope.

I was so impressed and excited that I booked him for a special speaking engagement for my team called, “Discover How You Show Up in Life Affects Your Life!” It was so well received that I booked a workshop shortly after called, “"Be your true authentic self and attract what you really want in your life”. In it he introduced the six main kinds of stress and the ten disciplines for high performance and peak potential. His “authentic self”, exercise was thought provoking and meaningful. Learning the difference between the law of attraction and the automatic abundance factor also very enlightening. Everyone took away some incredible information that they could use immediately in their lives.

Walter has since created an online training group called “The Mary Kay Abundance Mastermind”. It has been incredibly good. Our success is in direct relation to our understanding of energy and the girls are moving up! As Mary Kay Ash herself said, "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." Walter cares and he “gets” his clients. He beams with integrity and offers a safe place to grow. I am eternally grateful to him. He has reconnected me to my own personal power and the higher level I naturally resonate at. Walter loves what he does and people he works with, so his authenticity and passion makes his style of teaching very effective. We have a big goal this year in our MK Unit and I feel like I am Wonder Woman! We are in the process of making it happen and it is all very exciting. Thank you Walter Aguilar!"

" I was impressed and curious when I heard Walter speak at a Mary Kay dinner event this past summer. His message took insight into leadership to a whole new and different level for me. I’m always open to new growth in this area, even though I’m fully retired as National Sales Director (NSD) Emeritus. I decided to do an online Energy Leadership Index (ELI) assessment and debrief with Walter. He was a lot of fun, very respectful, very enthusiastic, and extremely insightful. I was quite surprised at my results as I have always prided myself on my ability to hold everything together. The result of ourdebrief together, was me becoming aware of some holes in my personal armour that could use some work. It especially made sense, in how I am showing up energetically in my personal relationships. So, I decided to begin the coaching process with Walter. In our sessions, I was gently encouraged to take a hard look at myself instead of focusing on fixing, mentoring or coaching others. I was given discovery homework and while completing it, I found an area within myself that I wasn’t even aware I needed changing. I am really enjoying the stimulation and the joy of unpacking just who I am at this stage in life. I would highly recommend everyone to invest in themselves with Walt because he has a special gift. Many of us, know we need balance in our growth and health. However, we just bumble and stumble, and may even be brilliant in certain areas of our lives. Often we are not too sure why this happens. This exploration into your mind-energy connection and how becoming aware of your stress reactions, energy blocks, and influencers will unlock all kinds of doors of opportunity for you. This is the kind of work on myself, I wished I’d had 40 years ago. "

"Walter and I go way back and he will always be remembered for instilling the concept that what we can envision, we can attain. So, when we reconnected many years later, it was no surprise that he had decided to become a life coach. Walter is a natural life coach with a unique character and great sense of humour. He's also very professional and helpful in clarifying your values and goals. He takes a no-nonsense approach to getting to the heart of your matter. He has cut through my waffling in no time and got me focussed and moving forward. He has adapted to my needs in each session, giving me clarity about my relationships, my career, my health, my values and what motivates me. Walter doesn't solve your issues or answer your questions. That's not what life coaching is about. Walter helps you to find your own possible solutions, then motivates you and hold you accountable to take action. Walter is not only an incredible life coach, he is a wonderful human being. I feel very lucky to have Walter in my corner, not only as my life coach but also as my friend."

"Never have I had the opportunity to give a reference for someone who has contributed to the enhancement and growth of my "personal life ". Walter has several layers of skill sets rarely found together in an individual, which becomes quite evident after spending any length of time with him. His sincere, caring approach, insightful questioning, and passion to facilitate others personal growth, is in my humble opinion, why he succeeds in leading others to achieve great things. His great listening skills and unique insights have been paramount in building my life to be a fulfilling one that is geared towards my personal strengths and purpose that I discovered I had passion for. Although, I considered myself a successful business person, after spending time being coached by Walter, I have realized that I was out of focus with what I truly wanted in life. Now with the tools and personal insights I have learned through his coaching, I now have been able to realize much more success which also includes a more harmonious life with my four children, and loving partner. Without reservation I recommend Walter to anyone wishing to improve their organizations or their personal plan for success. Walter "knows his stuff", and can help turn around the morale and efficiencies of those who have the initiative to want to move forward."

"Walter has been my coach for the past 3 months and he has really helped me to move forward with some difficult goals. One of his greatest gifts is deep, intuitive listening. He’s not afraid to challenge my limiting beliefs and he has really helped me to see where they have been holding me back. At the same time I have felt completely supported and encouraged. Walter never fails to point out my successes, and I end our sessions feeling energized and ready for the next step. If you are at a point where you need to make some changes in your life, Walter is a great choice of a coach to help you on your journey."

"During a difficult time in my life Walter walked with me and has helped me discover the things I really value in my life. His intuitive listening, thought provoking questions and thoughtful techniques, have helped me remain positive and engaged as I shift to a greater awareness of how I really want to show up in my life. I have found this process valuable and literally, mind altering. It has increased my level of life satisfaction and depth in my closest relationships."

"With Walter as my coach, I am now able to communicate in manner that creates a an upward shift of energy of my family and allows me to create a loving space that allows for everyone to have a voice. I have learned to show up in kind and loving way and to live my life on purpose."

"Having known Walter for a few years I've had about the pleasure of working with him on a number of different matters. He is always insightful and often provides a new perspective that helps draw out the wisdom of the moment. The methodology he uses incorporates his hard earned insights through years of reading, research, lessons from the school of hard knocks, that now complement the structure and precise approach that he is now using. He is a skilled coach with an aptitude that allowed him to draw solid answers out of the ether of disorganized ideas within my own mind. Things that are composed of ideas and feelings, and sort of floating around loosely in my mind, he has helped to bring them together, to coalesce them into something that fits with the original and natural form of things but is much more concrete. Once there, I was able to create the needed solidity were I could come to my own conclusions and work toward achievable and measurable solutions."

"I enjoyed the two guest speaking engagements Walter gave to our Mary Kay Unit and wanted a more personal assessment. During our ELI assessment debrief I learned that "I'm not broken" and that I am pretty normal - this was very reassuring for me. His debrief was really good, informative, comfortable, reassuring, and made me want to follow through with the coaching session Walter offered me. During our one to one coaching session he reassured me again that I'm quite normal in my thinking, emotional stability and reactions to life. Walter provided me some very helpful tools which I find myself using on a regular basis. I feel there has been a positive shift in my energy awareness since our coaching session. I felt uplifted and I am interested in considering further coaching. I would highly recommend the 3 steps – The ELI assessment, debrief and one to one coaching session, as it was very insightful."

"Jennifer spoke so highly of her experience, with Walter Aguilar, that I thought it would benefit me. During our debrief of the ELI assessment I discovered that I have the potential to break through any barriers I put up and that I am able to switch my beliefs to ones that serve me. The debrief was relaxing and eye opening. It affirmed what I knew, and helped clarify how I want to spend in the next days of my life. During our one to one coaching session, Walter hit on all the right targets. My takeaway being that if I can hold my energy higher, I can increase my awareness. I feel that that many of the women I know could really benefit from working with Walter and discover how to get on with their lives in a more meaningful way."

" I was motivated to do the ELI Assessment and debrief as I felt I needed to improve my self-esteem and belief in my abilities. I found the assessment debrief, with Walter, to be very professional, but yet also sensitive to my emotions surrounding my lower energy levels. Walter did a very good job at explaining the energy differences and also how to create a higher anabolic energy levels. I found that what I really liked about the coaching experience was the way we were able to get down to the root of some past issues that have been bring lower catabolic energy to some of my current issues. I had never put the two together, and now that I know this, it is quite life changer for me. I learned that it is often ‘not about me’ and that I have to learn to stop assuming that it is, especially when something happens that I find emotionally upsetting. My biggest take away is that people’s actions and behaviours are reflection of them, not about me. I would highly recommend the ELI Assessment, debrief and coaching from Walter because I feel it is a great process to really learn about yourself and how to bring positive anabolic energy to any life situation. "

"I have been working with Walter for a few months now, specifically as my Energy coach for business. I’m a serial entrepreneur with a couple businesses, so it’s easy to get over worked and spread myself too thin. Walter and I initially chatted and discovered that we were able to arrange a win/win relationship and in doing so my level of success and clarity in business has been continuously improving. We started with a baseline assessment called an Energy Leadership Index (an attitudal assessment) and this really opened my eyes to where my energy shifts to automatically, when I’m in a state of stress or pressure. With this information we have been able to work thru the six major energy influencers, which has given me a nice tool belt to draw from when stressful situations come up in business and/or personal life. We worked on my personal mission statement as a starting point, which now serves as a compass in my life. If an opportunity or situation comes around that is not in alignment with my mission statement, now it’s easier for me to say no and stay true to my dreams and path. The clarity I have received from completing my mission statement has been fantastic and has been very empowering. Walter has been a really amazing addition to my business team and life; most people are completely unaware of how powerful their energy is and with the right tool belt, we all can learn how to move our energy and live life in the flow."

"Working with Walter and the COR.E Performance Dynamic program this season has been a great experience. Walter has presented the COR.E Dynamic principles to me in a way that I can truly apply them to everyday life as a pro athlete. His ability to relate to me as an athlete and student has allowed me to grasp the concepts quick and effectively. Walter's professionalism and passion has been very impressive. His ability to come prepared to every session and follow up on the content, truly shows his investment in my future, both as an athlete and a person."
