You Don’t Have to Settle
If you are a small business owner or professional caught in cycles of overwhelm, stress, or self-doubt - despite knowing the “right” strategies - there’s a better solution.
If you don’t feel excitement and joy in your life or work, there is a better way forward.
If you’ve tried coaching, self-help books, and/or therapy and the results have not been what you were hoping for, there is a reason for that.
I can help you change all that and design the life you really want.
Discover What Profound and Lasting Change Looks Like
Maybe You’ve Tried Everything but Nothing Sticks
or
Maybe You’ve Just Recently Decided that Something has to Change
Burnout & Overwhelm
You're running on empty, juggling endless responsibilities while feeling like you're always behind. The exhaustion goes deeper than just being "busy."
Chronic Stress & Anxiety
Even when things are going well, there's a persistent undercurrent of worry and tension that never fully goes away.
Work-Life Balance
Success feels hollow when it comes at the cost of your relationships, health, and personal fulfillment. You want both—and you deserve both.
Lost Joy & Purpose
Life feels like you're going through the motions. The spark and excitement you once had seems impossible to reclaim.
Self-Limiting Beliefs
That inner voice telling you "you're not good enough" or "you don't deserve this" sabotages your progress, no matter how much you've achieved.
Stuck in Patterns
You know what you should do, you've read the books, attended the workshops—but you keep falling back into the same old patterns.
Here's What Most Experts Don't Understand About Change
Real transformation doesn't happen through willpower, positive thinking, or even understanding your problems intellectually. It happens when you rewire the deep patterns in your nervous system that keep you stuck—patterns that were formed long before you could even think about them consciously.
This is why therapy can give you insights but leave you feeling the same. Why coaching can motivate you temporarily but the old patterns return. Why self-help feels inspiring but doesn't create lasting change.
As an expert in how people, teams, and organizations change, I can tell you with certainty that insight or understanding what is holding you back is not enough. It’s an important first step, but only that.
In my work, I blend incredible findings from Neuroscience with the practiced wisdom of generations of teachers, coaches, and positive psychologists to help you understand why the success you seek has not come yet, and how you can finally change that!
Self-help books, rah rah coaches, and vision boards fail to produce real results because they are based on a misunderstanding of how our brains and bodies process the world, and how changing our beliefs systems really work.

Reactivity to Empowerment (R2E) Program
We all react to our environment, and the people and challenges around us, in different ways. However, the healthiest, happiest and most successful people are less emotionally reactive to challenges. In other words, these people are more in balance with the world around them and choose how they wish to respond to challenging situations.
Contrast this with the vast majority of people who face the same situation with automatic emotional responses which often lead to negative outcomes and diminished influence.
Ask yourself, are you able to face every challenge with grace, or are you subject to emotional reactivity? If you have spent most of your life as the latter, would you like to learn how to permanently and profoundly change this for the better?
I help my clients to move from reactivity, where they are caught up in their negative thought patterns and emotions, to an empowered place where they feel at peace with themselves and confident in their ability to tackle any challenge in front of them. They become better leaders, happier spouses, and more powerful problem-solvers.
Who I Work With
I work with small business owners and other leaders who are determined to succeed in life and business, but who need a new path forward.
My Clients start coaching with me because the coaches, or programs, or advice they have taken simply haven’t worked and they are determined to grow and achieve their goals.
Here are some excerpts from real clients who were willing to let me share their words but protect their anonymity. These are statements they made during their first sessions with me explaining what felt challenging to them:
“I’m overwhelmed… with responsibility…. with everything”

“I can’t sleep at night…I guess it’s anxiety”
— Anonymous
“I have that thing – what do you call it? I’m like an imposter…like I think I can’t really make this work. I see her over there and she seems like she always has it together – her clothes, her marketing – she never seems rushed. How does she do it, and I can’t seem to? What am I even doing here”
— Anonymous
“I don’t feel excited anymore, about my job or anything really. I like gardening. Is there a way I can make money doing that (laughing ironically)”?"
— Anonymous
“The decisions I make have consequences you know? I have a lot of responsibility. I find myself doubting some of the decisions I make. Not all of them, but I can’t show it. There’s a weight…if I make a mistake, it could cost the company a lot of money. People could lose their jobs. I signed up for this. I’m good at it. But …. I don’t know”
— Anonymous
“I know I lack discipline sometimes. I mean, I work hard, but I just can’t stay on top of what I need to do… even though I know I need to do it! It’s like a consistency thing”
— Anonymous
“I’m an overthinker [laughter]! I can’t shut my brain off. Even at night in bed I’m thinking about what I have to do next…or what I should have done”

Somatic practices that mirror the way the brain and body work together
Mindful awareness techniques that interrupt unwanted patterns in real time
Step-by-step support and guidance throughout (and beyond) your journey
Beyond Surface-Level Solutions
While others focus on symptoms, I help you transform the root patterns that create stress, overwhelm, and self-limitation in the first place.
HEAR FROM CLIENTS
“Corey played a pivotal role in helping me with two significant challenges: boundaries and balance. I'm a former Oncology nurse and was trying to get my online business off the ground while working for a company with a toxic work environment. For fear of losing my job, I felt unable to set boundaries and this resulted in a lack of balance within. The constant sense of stress was wreaking havoc on my mind, body and spirit which was especially concerning given that I already lived with a chronic illness.
Corey helped me see that I didn't have to take it all "on" and that it was possible for me to set boundaries and balance my self care, while still growing my business. One of the most valuable lessons he gave me was in mindfulness, until then, I'd struggled with sitting still to meditate. Corey showed me a new way and it helped me close a painful chapter in my work life and move forward in my business with vision, confidence and motivation. The techniques he taught me gave me a new lens on life and I still use them today. Working with Corey is a gamechanger!
Cecile Gough, Business Owner and Sales Professional, Guelph, Ontario, Canada
“If I could give Corey more than 5 STARS I would! I have been coached and mentored by others for years, continuing to up level as needed. Corey's unique skill set of organizational consulting mixed with ICF coaching makes for very powerful conversations. He is asking the right questions using developed listening to get to the heart of the matter. He is not offering solutions, he is asking you the questions so you can see for yourself exactly what will cause a breakthrough in habitual thinking and doing. I am so thankful to his commitment to my success. Everyone I know, business owner or not, could benefit from coaching with Corey. Incredible work.”
Jami Amidon, Real Estate Agent, Raleigh, North Carolina
“My friend and I had been thinking about starting a business for a really long time. After we got qualified, we made plan after plan to get officially started, but after short bursts of focused work, we'd fall back on postponing things. A few months of not doing much passed, and then we had the opportunity to work with Corey. I can't fully express how much that helped! By the end of the session, we were energized to get started again and we had formulated a solid plan to follow, to keep up the momentum. We were able to isolate behaviours and changes that would help us work on the business, and on ourselves as individuals in relation to the business. It's incredible how quickly things can fall into place when you have the right guidance (our business is coming online in one week). Corey has a knack for unearthing profound insight, is amazing at holding space, and asking the right questions to discover the best solutions for yourself”.
Thanks for everything! Cristina Tataru, Business Owner, London England
“I had the pleasure of working with Corey Scott at Castle Road Coaching, and his guidance was invaluable during a critical career decision. Corey is an incredibly focused listener who asks the right questions, and helps you navigate complex choices with clarity and confidence. He provided me with practical insights, supported me in exploring my values, and helped me evaluate my options. Thanks to Corey’s thoughtful coaching, I was able to make a decision that aligned with my goals and values. I highly recommend Corey to anyone seeking clarity in their career or life direction!”
