Baton Rouge Operations Manager

"As a management coach at our manufacturing facility, Robert was able to zero in very quickly on our managers and supervisors weaknesses. He was able to provide specific actions to target those improvement opportunities. Whether he was helping folks hone their soft skills, leadership skills, or their ability to influence their peers, he was always able to provide valuable insight and tools to enable those managers/supervisors to grow in their roles.

As a personal coach for me, he was able to coach me in becoming a better mentor and career coach for my employees. We were able to develop game plans for employees that I had been struggling for months to coach. Those employees have flourished with the new approach and are ready for bigger challenges in their careers."

"I had no idea how much I would learn from our new Coach. What I didn’t realize at the time is that I had spent much of my life preparing myself to handle the technical aspects of a chemical plant (chemical engineer by degree). I spent very little time in training or learning how to deal with the managerial and motivation aspects of manufacturing.

Companies can not afford to neglect this aspect of professional development; working with Robert filled that gap for me and many others at this site.

I learned how to challenge myself daily, stretch my limits and overall grow as a professional as well as an individual. My management style and ability to influence others has improved through the techniques that I learned by working with Robert. His style of applying executive leadership coaching strategies at the manufacturing leadership levels works well in developing up and coming talent as well as struggling leaders at any level in an organization.

I would highly recommend the investment in Robert and his team to any organization seeking a leadership coach.”

"Plant-wide - I have noticed a more aggressive/proactive addressing of issues. When peers did not get on board, Robert had helpful tips on how to move them toward the goals.
Overall, the most valuable consultant with whom I have interacted."

"He was knowledgeable about industry and working with people. He gave me insights about how to be more assertive in my supervisory role, by having better expectations of my employees. Essentially to hold them more accountable."

Randall Bourgeois
Shift Supervisor 

"He exposed some things that needed to be exposed, but because of peer pressure and friendships these problems were always left alone.
As a neutral party, Robert could bring these problems to light and because of that our plant will be a better." place.

Lee Hunsucker
Plant Manager

"To start with I would like to again thank Robert for his candor and valuable insight over the last two years.  This is the second time I have worked with Robert in a management coaching role.  Several years ago while with another company Robert came in to engage and coach site leadership and supervision as we were trying to drive improved performance and work through some organizational challenges.  That positive experience led me to bring Robert in to assist me with some significant challenges in my current position as plant manager.  (Issue = complete turnover of the site management team, and a major change in operating philosophy)
In the current case Robert has been instrumental in coaching the site management team as well as the first line supervisors.  Specific areas of focus included, improving communications at all levels and working with supervisors and managers to help them improve accountability and performance throughout the site.  While high standards can be set, it’s the execution that is difficult.  Execution technique is as important as having the plan.  I have found that while companies have strength in technology, production methodologies, and planning it is rare that they have effective methods of coaching and assisting new, or even experienced managers with the challenges of “effectively” communicating with or motivating their employees. This is where Robert’s experience has its greatest effect.  Taking the talent that exists within the individual and maximizing their ability to impact results through effective and consistent coaching.  Coaching is frequently overlooked as a way of improving results.  We talk about it, but in general most managers are not equipped to provide the candid and confidential coaching that is really needed. We assess performance but typically don’t coach to success.  Robert helps fill that gap. I can highly recommend Robert as a management coach."

"Personally, I found it very valuable. He pointed out areas for me to improve, as well as being able to develop improvement ideas.

As a company, I saw specific changes with the people who wanted to make a change. It also helped them see some opportunities to improve."

"I thought Robert was sincere and understood our needs. He was really helpful and he has good people skills.

I think we made a lot of progress in H.S.E. (Health Safety and Environmental) issues and accountability."

Darren Taylor
WCM Supervisor

"He was here when all H??? broke loose. He took his time and listened to everyones problems and somehow let them come up with their own solutions, which worked out just great.

I would recommend Robert as a coach in the future, he's more easy to talk to than some of our own people.

Our plant improved. We were able to work better together as a group and understand why we were doing what we were doing.
He should just keep doing what he's doing, making people feel at ease."
