from leaders in large organizations
SVP of a new product group, Fortune 100 health company
“Richard coached my leadership team for more than a year, including colleagues from other organizations in a large, matrixed enterprise. He worked with me to prioritize areas of leadership team growth that would best serve our high profile team and the aggressive targets we were pursuing. We worked on accountability, building trust, delivering results, and a focus on high-performance. As a result of his coaching, the team developed a stronger collaborative working culture in each of these areas, leading to an accelerated trajectory as a leadership team and for the group as a whole.”
