“Clay Hucke and Next Steps Mindset facilitated team bonding activities for our group on youth retreat. They were organized, professional, and truly cared about the outcome for our kids. Their activities and facilitation taught them resilience, patience, and flexibility. Many of the students said it was the best bonding trip they had been on because of them! I would definitely recommend Next Steps Mindset to take your life, business, or family to the next level!!”

— Erika McGhee (Union Public Schools Theater Director)

“Clay is great to work with. He offers practical feedback that will help you get out of your rut and make progress towards your purpose. You won’t regret working with him!”

— B. Morrell (High Point Urban Adventures)

“Clayton was a wonderful resource as my preteen navigated moving to a new city and a new middle school. Clayton is understanding, and kind, and I love that he offered options such as meeting by the river and walking. As a parent, I really liked the feedback that Clayton would send me which would provide me insight into the session, and often gave me topics or questions to discuss with my son.”

— S. Woods (Mom)

“As a Principal, it is always a challenge to find meaningful Professional Development ideas that my staff will enjoy. Mr. Hucke's dynamic personality and experience in the education field were applauded by my staff. I had so many teachers come up to me after the PD to tell me it was the best PD they have been to! Thank you Next Steps Mindset! I will definitely invite you back next Fall!”

— B. Grass (Union Freshmen Academy Principal)

“Working with Clay was surprisingly easy. He has a laid back approach that creates a relaxed atmosphere when it comes to talking about my life and trying to reach my goals both personally and in business. I would recommend his business. I could see how this style of coaching could help parents with teenagers who don’t feel like there are “getting through”. With his years as a high school principal, I imagine he can relate to the issue’s teenagers are facing today.”

— N. Arendall (Nurse/Educator)

Clayton's interest and attention to the client's needs is tremendous. He takes a deep interest in not only the presenting "task" but also the broader story to develop a targeted coaching plan that fits the person and the goal.

- B. Wortham (Parent)

Incredible at leading, mentoring, and providing necessary tools for success. Clayton is exceptional at what he does and truly cares to help people feeling stuck!! He would be an asset for anyone needing a coach to help them get through a challenging time in their life.
