Testimonials
"Your seminar was a smashing success. Bob, in an eloquent and emotional talk, captured the human side of this group of tough business people. Through the telling of personal trials and tribulations, he touched our caring parts that sometimes get bottled up in high pressure, work environments. I know the employees of Arpin Van Lines will directly benefit from what he shared with the owners of this company." Read the entire testimonial

“Using the Profile to assess talents and strengths among our middle and senior management was an immense help as you consulted on restructuring our organization and re-deploying many of these staff to new roles where their talents could be better tapped. The results have been impressive, with improvements in morale, financial performance and overall organizational health. For example, we streamlined our organizational structure by reducing the size of our middle management by 20% - with very few layoffs. Following the changes, we experienced a turnaround of revenue problems for the rest of the fiscal year. And we have reduced unwanted turnover to close to 0%." Read the entire testimonial

Your skills at talent assessment, team building, coaching and organizational restructuring are second to none. Your hands on approach made it appear that you were actually part of our senior executive staff . . . . . Your unique ability to “tell it like you see it” with constructive alternatives place you in a class by yourselves”.Read the entire testimonial

“During the past six months, Bob and Lori directed a team building session, administered and analyzed numerous talent assessment profiles, provided pre-employment guidance and conducted executive coaching sessions with cabinet level administrators. In each and every type of activity described above, they provided highly professional services that I believe will lead to increased levels of performance throughout the district . . . .

“As you know, we have been in a Quality Process for 3 ½ years, but only in the last 12 months that we have seen any meaningful process improvement. We had all the tools and education and committees, but we didn’t have the results. . . The training and facilitation that you have provided us was instrumental in reducing our Price of Nonconformance by $370,000.00., as well as building a community of motivated employees that are customer driven and quality conscious. . . .

“In specific terms, MS. Bomes herself has consulted on our behalf in a variety of environments within HASBRO. She has been a proactive agent of change in the company’s approach toward employee relations and human resources management. She has assisted top management of our major toy divisions in analyzing its mission and structure. She has conducted several organizational assessments for us in areas where there appeared to human relations or management issues preventing the accomplishment of objectives. She has participated in the design and execution of training and development programs to address the needs identified as part of her organizational and human development consulting. These are a few of her contributions. . . . To characterize Ms. Bomes as one of our consultants or as a business vendor doesn’t not describe the extent of her contribution to our organization. She and AGI consulting are valued members of our team. Ms. Bomes and her organization come highly recommended by this party. We look forward to a long continuing relationship”.Read the entire testimonial
