The Proof: Real Executive Success Stories
Case Study #1: Oil & Gas C-Suite Executive
"Initially, everything was his wife's fault. If she didn't nag him so much, he wouldn't need to drink..."
The Challenge: Successful C-suite executive, drinking and cocaine use escalating, blaming family for problems, had unresolved issues from previous employment.
The Solution: Daily 30-minute coaching calls for 6 weeks plus intensive sessions. Addressed the real issue: he was the common denominator in all his problems.
The Result: Now succeeding in both career and family life with complete understanding of underlying issues.
Case Study #2: Corporate Law Partner
"Her partners had clear evidence of concerning behavior—personal assistants covering for her, work quality slipping..."
The Challenge: High-level corporate lawyer, drinking affecting work performance, becoming liability to firm, initial resistance to help.
The Solution: Discrete intervention design and treatment plan that protected professional standing.
The Result: Maintained partnership, completed treatment discretely, now advocates for recovery coaching among professionals.
Case Study #3: Multi-Millionaire Business Owner
"70 years old, just sold his company for millions. Everything you could want in life. And he still couldn't stop drinking."
The Challenge: High-net-worth individual, all external success markers, but couldn't understand why he couldn't stop self-destructive behavior.
The Solution: Addressed the real issue—the "infinite-sized hole" that success couldn't fill. Focused on meaning and authentic connection.
The Result: Lasting recovery by addressing conscious separation rather than just symptoms.
What Clients Say
"Ian has been a lifesaver in more ways than one. An invaluable support to my son, my family and myself. Addiction is not a fight to take on alone. I can easily recommend Ian for quarterbacking or quite frankly any position for this battle."
— Ida Albo, Client Mother
"Getting through to somebody in the throes of addiction and alcoholism is extremely difficult... After a recommendation to speak with Ian, who had extensive success with helping individuals overcome their addictions, my family asked that he try and help. He not only took the time to hear out my excuses, but shared his own personal struggles and showed me that there was in fact hope for a way out of addiction... I am eternally grateful for Ian and the impact he's had on my ongoing recovery."
— Anonymous Family Case Client
"Dr Ian Rabb is one of these amazing healers. Ian understands the depth of the despair because at one time he lived it! Today Ian works to use Spiritual Tools, that allow individuals to overcome their personal traumas... In the span of over two decades, Ian has helped thousands of people to once again become productive, happy and healthy members of society. The man, in my opinion, is a modern day Saint! I know this, because he saved my life too!"
— Russ Wyatt, City Councillor, City of Winnipeg
"He demonstrates the highest level of care and love for all of his clients and their families. Morning, noon and night he will show up for them when needed and give them the attention they deserve.

The 4-Step Executive Recovery System
Step 1: Separate the Disease from the Person
Learn why your intelligent, successful self isn't the problem—and why understanding this distinction is crucial for executive recovery.
Step 2: Address the Real Problem - Obsession
Discover why it's not about the substance—it's about the constant thought of self and social anxiety that drives high-performers to "lubricate" every situation.
Step 3: Fix the Family System
Understand why your family is as sick as you are, and why individual recovery without family healing has a near-zero success rate.
Step 4: Commit to Complete Truth
Learn why Ian tells clients the truth "whether you like it or not" and why this approach succeeds where others fail.

The "body odor principle" - why you're the last person to know how bad it really is
Why willpower and "moderation" have a 0% success rate for executives
The social anxiety connection that drives substance use in high-pressure environments
How to protect your career and reputation while getting the help you need
