CEO, LeadersAtlas
I lead a team of high achievers who are motivated and deliver great results. To be clear, there are no “duds” on my team. Yet there was tension that affected work trust.

I’ve engaged Bob multiple times across multiple organizations for 1:1 executive coaching, team assessments and workshops (Kolbe, Tilt), and 360 feedback.
Bob was absolutely the right choice for us because he understands rapid-growth organizations and the need to put techniques into immediate practice.
I felt validated with regard to my natural preferences, specifically with how I do my work. Bob is truly invested in outcomes.
Bob’s familiarity with the Kolbe Index also let me understand my strengths and leverage them more.
Bob thinks fast on his feet. He provides direct and insightful feedback. Through his coaching, I’m clear on my purpose.
I found that the Tilt assessment was a particularly helpful construct in evaluating and managing my leadership style. Others absolutely noticed a huge change in my behaviors.
I found it both to be helpful to talk through what was going on and to get feedback from a group that was outside my normal circle often resulting in a different perspective than I’m used to seeing or hearing from my peers.
By honoring my work style while being aware of the underlying inclinations that drive my coworkers, I’m more patient and achieve more of the results I seek.
Bob reinforced that passion at work is a differentiator; you can channel those emotions to be an effective leader in a way that inspires teams.
Kidango engaged Bob while our organization underwent a major transition. Bob was very effective in guiding the executive team.
Using the Tilt model and creating leadership maxims from One Piece of Paper, was eye-opening. It made me ask: Is that really me? Did I get that right?
We chose Bob as he’s very approachable and was the best fit for Clif Bar’s leadership program. I appreciated that Bob has a relaxed facilitation style.
Bob cut through the clutter with his straightforward and easy-going communication style. I knew there was a lot to be learned and he was going to be an amazing guide.
By looking at the “why” and less of the “what,” I was able to make better connections with my teams. Through exploring their character strengths, I was able to build on my communication and management styles.
Through his expert coaching, I learned that leadership presence can be achieved by making small changes. Those incremental changes lead to tremendous progress — in getting things accomplished, motivating others to follow, and feeling more confident.
I now show up differently. My communication is more crisp and concise, helping convey my message more effectively with others. My work environment is more relaxed and collaborative.
The whole experience sharpened my focus on what I wanted to do next with my career, and I’ve entered that next phase with confidence of purpose. My work with Bob will serve me for years to come.
