2020-21 While others were in shock and struggling – Katie stepped up and out from the crowd.
Zen helped me sift through my thoughts and goals so I could better achieve them. He helped me to expand my awareness for things within me and around me and use them as guides in daily living. Zen is extremely intelligent and sees things on levels that most people do not. With Zen’s guidance I was able to move closer to my “dreams” with my career. and see positive changes in many areas of my life that I had always hoped for. I found more confidence and boldness to live my life the way I know God intended. ~ Katia Von Kral – Artist
Katie came to me with previous successes before the ‘pandemic,’ desires for re-creating her business and life that included dreams of having her own TV show. She was an accomplished artist-in-demand with her live painting show that had her in front of thousands, including doing opening acts for Country & Western concerts, Barrett-Jackson Auto Shows and more. The pandemic stopped the live performances and created challenges for her continued success. She scoured the web, resonated with my approach, had an introductory phone call (button below) and moved forward with little trepidation. The trepidation vanished.
We zeroed in on her skillset along with the people, places and things that could be resources, crafted a loose action plan (creatives need things a little loose) and ‘loose ends’ tightened up with new opportunities. Our sessions help her shift her mindset, allowing the bigger vision to appear real and viable, and within a few months the opportunity appeared. Working with me, she was able to shift her attitudes and beliefs that weren’t serving her and the result, well, she’s got an entire episode of an existing show coming up and a 13-week series of her own that will potentially be seen by over 75 million viewers. Imagine what a laser-focused approach could do for you.
Here’s some additional input from Katie, not in the testimonial.

The Passion and Purpose of My Work
After a Near-Death Experience in my first year of pre-med in college, back in 1975, my life became engrossed in studying behavior, feelings and thoughts associated with actions, not just the biology and physiology of the body. I became a closet cognitive scientist. The experience also brought the awareness that we are cosmic consciousness condensed into form with the ability to co-create our reality.
Early impromptu sessions decades ago showed I was onto something in being able to help others through transforming their lives into more desirable circumstances. Eventually I felt qualified to make it a profession, having earned a MBA, MA in Organizational Management and certification as both Life Coach and Hypnotherapist. I now had all the credentials to back up the expertise.
Be The Dream LLC is the face of the helping others craft their dreams into reality, for nearly 20 years. Everyone has a dream. Few choose to Be The Dream. I help the latter with exquisite individualized conversations and action plans.

Paying It Forward
I’m a pay-it-forward sort of guy and this is a priceless addition for business owners and entrepreneurs. I taught business plan writing to hundreds of women and minority business owners and developed an online and on-ground version for a post-secondary healing arts school, complete with workbook and financials – an excel spreadsheet with integrated forms you’ll love. It takes all the guess work out of the process. I give the workbook away here.
Transformational Life Coaching Reviews on Google
A few from many…
What makes Zen such an effective coach is that he has the wonderful (and extremely rare ability) to simply and respectfully listen to a client without judgment. Total compassion and confidentiality. This allows one to fully open up and trust Zen with their concerns. Zen is deeply passionate about helping people achieve clarity in order to create and implement effective solutions to their problems. He is there every step of the way!
Zen’s extensive life experience allows him to relate to anyone about virtually anything! He has been there to advise me about my fears of starting my own web design business along with personal matters, too. I love the guy! Considering Zen for coaching? Investing in his coaching is a very fruitful and wise decision. ~ Nikki Davis
Zen is a fantastic coach. He possesses an in depth business knowledge and deep eternal wisdom.
Zen helped me find that “knowing” that will allow me to make smart and informed business and life decisions.
I’m sure we will work with each other again in the future. ~ David Nichols
As a chiropractor and business owner, I’ve hired several business coaches that had a lot of information and little actual help in accomplishing goals and objectives. In just 3 months Zen has helped me with focus, stress reduction, how to be more productive and communicating with others, just to mention a few results.
This has benefited everything around me including myself, my business, my patients and my family. He does this in a way that no other coach or counselor does. He takes a holistic approach using his years of education and background to help reach each individual’s potential. Thanks Zen! ~ Kevin Fox, DC

Zen is a terrific life coach and insightful healer. His methods are advanced, as that is what is needed now for an evolving society. You won’t get “cookie-cutter” information from Zen; you will receive a precise reading of your inner self and learn how to use the magnificence you already possess to guide your decisions and create the manifestation of your goals. Nowadays, anyone can get an on-line coaching certificate.
Those that are true healers, such as Zen, work beyond the limitations of static information. This approach unifies all modalities, as Zen brings his clients to the apex of their highest functionality in all aspects of their life. ~ Susan Winter, author/evolutionary relationship expert
Out of over 60
Zen provides consulting, support, and creativity far beyond the expectations of the most demanding clients. No kidding. We worked on a book together and the finished product is stunning. For other projects, he shows up early, demonstrates MacGyver type knowledge and skills, takes ordinary ideas and twists them toward genius. Whatever you pay him, it’s a bargain. Make him part of your team.
Working with Zen is as his name reflects, a tranquil place of intuitive and happy beginnings! I would recommend him to anyone searching for guidance in their personal evolution, be it emotional, spiritual and/or occupational. He is a kind, humorous, pragmatic universal thinker that can help you put your thoughts in a more constructive perspective.
Zen has led many workshops on self-realization and has heightened the awareness of individuals promoting their growth and well-being and giving a deep and meaningful purpose to the lives of many. His wisdom and gentle guidance allows others to grow at their own pace yet encourages and empowers one to dig deeper and become all they can be.
I consider Zen to be one of those superlative examples of what the human brain can store and serve up in unique and appealing ways at will on most any occasion or assignment. To say his range of knowledge and interests are “eclectic” is engaging in understatement. And this is what makes his services as a “possibilities coagulator” for his clients so valuable and exciting. Smart fellow! Great ally! ~ Dudley Lynch, Co-Owner & President, Brain Technologies, Inc.

Not a ‘normal’ transformational life coach… eclectic engages understatement. I founded Be The Dream in 1988 while working for an aerospace firm, with the notion that best practices of business, personal development and spiritual realms mirror each other as a trifecta for life. In 1990 I earned the moniker of Zen hosting a TV show and as a cognitive scientist with decades of trials and tribulations, my work is unique and produces demonstrable results.
An unexpected review: Something even Richard Feynman didn’t have enough time and still needed to examine, Quantum Love. What would it be like to meet the actual FUTURE puzzle makers themselves? This is what it is like to meet with Zen and his work. If you also have a piece that doesn’t seem to fit, you might just not be seeing the bigger picture. His books will help you unlock your true potential, regardless of the narrow views of those around you! Imagine what he can do in person. ~ Elisa E., Scottsdale
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.

I’m a cognitive scientist with decades of discoveries that I’ve turned into transformational life coaching. As a result, I help in adjusting your actions, beliefs, considerations and thought patterns to empower a shift in your life.
Most go it alone and spend copious amounts of unproductive time in their efforts. Some seek help to distill and streamline their process. From studying best practices, they know the effectiveness of a coach or mentor. Dr. Fox waited seven years, and could have been much further along now.
The question is, do you want to waste time or get on with it? I’ve spent my life garnering knowledge, understanding and wisdom toward facilitating people, places and things to work together better. My passion is to serve others who are seeking assistance and want a profound change in their own awareness. Hopefully, I’ll see you soon.
