Ned helped us see things that we couldn’t on our own [leading M&A]. He is very insightful, and made sure we were thinking through things that were not that obvious to us because we are in the middle of it. We were able to step back and talk about what was “really” going on, and not just talk about what was put on the table. More than that, he provided context for our leaders in a way they could hear, and coached them to be more effective in how they were leading.

I needed to kick the company into a high growth gear while balancing maintenance mode...he gave me concrete feedback... and the confidence to be a strong voice driving future high growth revenue generation... while simultaneously becoming a more effective team manager - delegating, having critical conversations, and providing timely feedback. The rigorous and thorough executive coaching we did together enabled me to lead in an authentic way and demonstrate my true value as a growth minded leader. Ned is easy to talk to and was a reliable and consistent sounding board for any and all topics.

Working with Ned helped me understand how I was showing up and the needs of the stakeholders I was working with. One of the things that Ned is very good at is to challenge you in a way that you don’t feel attacked, but in a way that helps you grow and get better. He always seems to ask the right question at the right time. He has deep exercise around a broad set of areas in the organization and he really helped me understand that you can’t do this alone.
