Will MacCallum has been an advisor to environmental
clubs, a financial supporter of environmental and conservation organizations, and has been actively working on reducing his
own family's ecological footprint since the 1980s. He has been life coaching since 2005. "I
decided to narrow my coaching focus recently and become the Green Coach. I found that I was feeling more rewarded from
helping friends think of ways to save money while helping the environment, than I was from helping people generally improve
their lives. Being the Green Coach allows me to help people not only with the quality of their lives, but with their
finances too. And we're helping the planet at the same time." - Will MacCallum

"Leaving
projects unfinished used to be a constant problem for me. Will's patient and friendly manner put me immediately at ease as
he helped me focus on what was truly important, and put it first. With his guidance and practical advice, I was off and running
with a significant writing project. When difficult patches came along, he steered me through them. Success in that project
empowered me for several others. I didn't think I needed any help, but looking back, I see that the only way I got my projects
done was through his positive influence. If you have anything you want to change or improve in your life, I highly recommend
him as a life coach." - Ian Bell PhD, Waterloo, Ontario

"For
me, it only took one hour of a one-on-one discussion with Will to alter a long-ingrained habit. That's the persuasive power
he has. His absolute attention, and doggedness kept me on track. Also, his insightful commentary and relaxed questioning led
me to see a solution. This habit of mine had been hampering me in my work, so thank you, Will, for freeing me and moving me
forward. Oddly, I now feel it was all my own doing, so am feeling good about myself, as well."
- Joanne Doucet, Sudbury, Ontario
