What clients say.
Due to the sensitive nature of Jeff’s engagements and his strict adherence to confidentiality, names have been withheld. References are available upon request.
I think Jeff is super no nonsense. He's a get it done kinda person.”
“He's very strategic in the sense that he can see certain challenges that are out there looming or that might be in our blind spots. He sees things, he's able to connect the dots that are sometimes a bit hidden.
I think he definitely helped us achieve some really important progress and some work, that was pretty hard. He's been instrumental in helping us achieve some pretty key ambitious milestones.
He’s also a combination of a thought partner and a friendly critic like, "Hey you could do this better." Or give me soft feedback and good coaching. He's helped me become a bit more self aware and I think he's helped me become a better leader. Finally he's got a great sense of humor - a dry, witty sense of humor.”
Jeff’s analytical mind and perspective, even when it isn’t popular, is really valuable. I can always count on Jeff for those honest conversations. It's very much appreciated and encouraged. I can rely on him for honest feedback. I always know that if I give him a phone call, I'll get what I need.
Jeff is genuine, thoughtful, intentional, and reliable. He’s a trusted partner.”
Jeff is patient, tactical, positive, stimulating, and growth-oriented. I was really stuck. But after just one or two conversations with Jeff, it changed the way I thought about my work, or thought about myself as a professional. He is a careful listener who remembers details.
At the end of a conversation, he does a great job of summarizing where we landed. He has the ability to pull us back one step, towards the end, and leave it in a really good place. He'll pause and leave space to ask a question. That ability to hit 'pause', I think is a skill that is maybe equal parts patience and emotional intelligence.
He is able to laugh at himself. He appreciates other people and their strengths and enjoys building them up. I think that's one way in which he is able to coach, admire and celebrate people wherever they are.”
Jeff is able to see the dynamic between how people are relating to one another. He's able to shift his perspective from that of one person to the other in order to paint the complete picture.. In doing so, he's effective in being a bit of a mirror.
He's able to maintain focus on long term outcomes while we’re discussing the short term. He has helped me focus more than I was before and come up with a set of priorities for myself. He brings a lot of liveliness and energy to every conversation. This makes for the work to be more productive and increases its odds of success. His attention to detail helps him to provide better coaching.
Jeff has a fairly broad set of experiences to draw on both from his professional life and his personal life. He brings a diversity of experience and he's able to draw analogies from lots of different areas. Jeff is supportive without being a blind cheerleader.”
Jeff is very sharp, bright, and resourceful. He's just a wholehearted, good person and makes people feel comfortable. His networking ability is really amazing. He's able to interact with anyone and is also able to bring people together. That's a really great quality. The probability of having a successful outcome on a project is going to be a lot higher if Jeff’s part of it. His ability to pick things up and follow through is pretty unmatched.
He wants nothing to do but to help people to be better. It's like he's an ambassador of awesome. He brings a lot of love, life, and friendliness into conversations. And he's wonderful to be around.”
With Jeff, work is a human interaction--not a transaction. He definitely makes my work a priority. He’s available when I want to ask him questions or work with him on things.
He is an extremely good listener who makes people feel at ease. He’s got a great sense of humor he uses to keep things at a human level.
In the racing world everything has to happen precisely when it needs to happen. Situations can get heated and people can take things personally. Jeff follows up with crew who are having a tough time to make sure that they feel valued. He’s good at keeping the team together. He is perceptive, always paying attention to individuals. He is not just there for himself.
Jeff--he’s not a just a consultant, he’s someone you care about, a friend.”
