Tony was prepared and helped our team better understand themselves and each other. Right away, we were looking for ways to apply what we were learning. This was not a “one and done” process where the information goes into a file never to be used again. It’s is about moving forward together. Understanding the team dynamics and how we can better work together to reach our goals is critical. My team was highly engaged with the process and the workshops. In fact, after one workshop alone, we immediately changed how we run team meetings. We also defined how all of the communication tools we have (email, project management, text, phone, etc) should be used depending on the situation. Having Tony as our coach, and the Predictive Index as a common language has helped immensely.

My wife and I had the privilege of being mentored by Tony for three years. Tony was brought into our Family Company for a short-term (four years) to mentor, enhance culture, and to improve operational procedures. He succeeded in all areas and left the Company in better shape than when he started. Tony always stressed open-communication and transparency. This kind of approach allowed employees to share their thoughts on how to improve the Company and then empowered them to be apart of that change. He understood that the best way to accomplish something, whether it was developing a process or resolving conflict, was to bring everyone together. I am grateful for his mentorship, and I utilize the lessons I learned from him on a regular basis.

Tony was the General Manager of our family business and I had the pleasure of working with him when I joined the company and as the management transitioned to my husband and me. Tony was a very effective communicator and was always intentional with his time to ensure everyone was on the same page. He was a strong communicator with all of the staff, allowing for transparency into daily operations as well as the strategic path forward. On top of that, he was a great mentor to my husband and I, sitting down with us at the end of the day to recap some of his experiences and takeaways. In addition to his strong communication skills, Tony was successful in identifying areas of improvement for the company, prioritizing them and executing on the initiatives. Once these opportunities were identified he would marry them with his communication skills and get the buy-in required for successful implementation. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Tony and learned a great deal from his approach, discussions and experiences.

When I first met Tony I had no clear vision for what I was doing. During our meeting he asked me questions that helped clarify my mission and then gave me action steps to move me in that direction. He’s been a terrific encouragement to me!

As a new business owner, I had little idea how to market my business. Tony patiently assisted me in visualizing a specific niche, what I want my target market and how to reach them. I am off to a great start and would highly recommend Tony to anyone looking to start or grow their business.
