Client Testimonials

"As a first time CEO one of my challenges was to introduce the EWI executive group to a new model of team work. Having worked with Bruce in the past I asked him to be my executive coach and also provide guidance to the executive management group. As a result my direct reports and I have developed a clear set of expectations of one another and are able to address issues that impede team performance. Our development as a team has helped promote an atmosphere of openness and candor within the company.

We continue to use Bruce as a coach and consultant and I highly recommend him”.

“…I've seen visible, positive results twice already (with myself and one of my direct reports). It's not only your technique that makes the coaching experience successful, but also the firm timeline to which the participant must adhere. You provide useful, actionable suggestions, and you insist that both the participant and his or her manager take ownership of the process. And it works.”

"As we are evolving into a more complex matrix organization collaborating, sharing resources and agreeing on priorities is critical. I believe the alignment work we did with Bruce has been beneficial in two ways: 1. At a time when the resource and supply chain groups are beginning to sort out their roles in supporting all of Ashland’s business units, our group already has their commitments to deliver help and a process in place for tracking our progress. 2. We have begun to build a sense of teamwork, collaboration and collective ownership of key goals across the different groups. The processes Bruce used and his facilitation skill were extremely instrumental and in making all this happen."
