Success Stories

Testimonials from Executive Coaching clients.

Rabbi Eliyahu Schusterman

Chabad Intown - Atlanta

“Shmuly has been a great friend and coach to me over the years. Over these last few months as I’ve undertaken new endeavors, Shmuly has been a regular coach to me. The results have been substantial in terms of structure, direction and challenging me in new and profound ways. Shmuly is a coach’s coach!”

Rabbi Leibel Korf

Chabad Los Feliz

“The Rebbe gives kochos for every part of our shlichus. When it came to running a building campaign, I encountered a whole new challenge. How do you run a Chabad House with so many programs and have a successful building campaign for the projects and the building you want to do? For over a year, I’ve worked hand in hand with Shmuly Rothman. The clarity, the focus, the direction, and bringing in the baalei batim for them to appreciate and want to be part of it was made possible with his wisdom, expertise, and his derech. I recommend shluchim use him as a coach in capital, ongoing, or any part of your shlichus. He is really good.”

Rabbi Chaim Bruk

Chabad Lubavitch of Montana

“Shmuly's coaching was transformative. He takes you from great to greater. He helps you realize the potential that exists within your community for growth, or maybe potential growth that exists within your community. He guides you to nourish your trust in Hashem as part of the process, k’muvon. And he lifts up the entire fundraising experience to an elevated space where it belongs.”
