TESTIMONIALS
“Rob's expertise in coaching and change management better prepared members of our team for the significant change resulting from the merger that our company was undergoing. His support was instrumental in preparing our managers to better assimilate change which contributed significantly to quickly and successfully bringing our companies together.
Later I engaged Rob to support me as a thought partner and to lead our Emotional Intelligence Initiative. His support to me and my team has been terrific and is having a significant positive impact on our team and on business results ”
Tony Alvarez
President and Representative Director (Prev)
Senior Vice President, Global Human Health

What differentiates Rob from those in his industry is:
1)
He has
actually run a real-world brick and mortar business and has
first-hand experience which he shares in terms of approaches to
overcoming problems that worked or those that did not. He can also
relate to the impact business decisions have on individuals and
teams either as decision makers or those being impacted.
2)
He is well
read in terms of the academics relating to leadership, emotional
intelligence, and team dynamics and, knows how to bring the best of
that academic learning to apply to the situation being faced.
Importantly however, he is not wed to any single philosophy. In
life there is no one right answer and I really appreciate that he
doesn’t see the world through a single lens.
3)
He is perhaps
one of the most sincere and empathetic persons I have ever met. His
commitment to the people he works with has truly amazed me. I know
from talking to him, and to others that have worked with him that
his level of commitment to support the people he works with is
complete.
