“With a combination of sensitivity, empathy and clarity, Cooper is able to confront and support people in a very constructive way. The questions he asks and the comments he makes trigger more awareness.  He encourages you time and again to keep developing your true potential.”

Mehmet, Turkey

"Cooper is one of the best multi-cultural skilled professionals I have ever met in my life. He behaves like a European, has knowledge like an American, hugs you like a Turk, and meets you like a Spaniard. He can really solve some problems immediately. He is amazing."

Christina, the United States:

“Working with Cooper has been a very positive influence on my life.

He has a way of listening and making me feel supported, while still helping me realize my behavior might need to change. He has helped me realize things about myself that I need to work on, while never making me feel shameful of my behavior. He has also taught me the power of realizing how I am feeling and understanding how others are feeling.

Cooper taught me ways of communicating that helped me have much more effective personal and work relationships. He has a way of taking very complex situations and breaking them down in a way that I can understand.

I also appreciate that he always asks how I want to be helped when I go to him. If I tell him about a problem, he doesn’t just start offering suggestions, he’ll first ask me what I want from him.”

Angduc, India:

“I would like to express my appreciation of Cooper Thompson.   I think he is a wonderful person.  He understands my feelings and my cultural background.  I appreciate his skill and experience in dealing with different kinds of people.  I can feel that when I am with him.  He creates a very positive atmosphere around you. 

He helped change my life, so that I felt more positive and motivated to reach my goals.  He gave me strength to deal with my personal and business relationships. Whenever I have any kind of confusion, or when I don’t have a clear vision, I talk to him and he makes it much clearer.  He is very supportive of me.  

Life is mysterious and we need someone who can support us emotionally.  Cooper can do that.  Sometimes I feel he is my mirror because he makes things clear cut.   I recommend him as a person that you can share with and find out your hidden qualities and make your life meaningful.

I am grateful to him for his guidance in my life.”

Marcel,  the Congo:

“I was born in the Congo, grew up in several countries in Africa and Europe, and as an adult have lived and worked in Europe and the U.S. It was culturally very challenging for me when I first came to the U.S., and even after over 10 years of living there, I had a culture shock when I had to face issues of diversity in the work place.

Through his training and understanding of diversity issues, Cooper was very instrumental in my successful transition to corporate life. He helped me analyze, appreciate and react to others’ perceptions of me, and more importantly, of my own perceptions of others. Today, I still use the tools he gave me to be successful in my profession.”

“I had several counseling sessions with Cooper over the last two years, and I found them to be extremely helpful both on a personal and professional level. His long years of working with clients in the areas of dealing with racism and sexism, as well as his long-term meditation and mindfulness practice enable him to ask just the right questions at just the right moment.

Whenever my mind was going in circles, pondering the same topics over and over again, he helped me to look at my issues from a different perspective. Most importantly, he did this not by giving me a ready-made solution, but by enabling me to find answers for myself. This I have found to be much more effective than simply being given a "how to" manual in dealing with difficult issues.

In my experience, Cooper's work is based on compassion, fairness and an almost radical commitment to help people grow personally and spiritually. I can wholeheartedly recommend him as a counselor and personal coach.”   

Chris, the United States:

“I had the opportunity to work with Cooper Thompson in a professional capacity for several years. My company is in the construction management business, and was facing some diversity issues.  I was very concerned about opening up a discussion on these subjects in a corporate environment. To my surprise, Cooper was able help us focus on real situations that we were facing, coach the involved parties on how to interpret what they were seeing, and what next steps to try. He helped us engage in the process in ways that were safe and appropriate.

I was impressed enough that I began to seek Cooper out for coaching on my personal leadership challenges.  I wanted to learn how I could better manage people with different backgrounds.  Together we developed a set of strategies that I continue to use and refine.  Today I am acknowledged by my peers as a better coach and manager, especially in multicultural settings..

I was also able to use these same skills in my personal life, so that I could reduce the stress I felt, increase my effectiveness in communication, and better understand the people I love and care for.”
