One of the reasons we made it to #1 is the leadership development efforts of Tom Brady and The XLR8 Team!

As I’m coming to the end of the second year in this principalship, I am constantly learning more and more about my own leadership and the necessity to adapt and grow. The school values survey was far superior to previous climate surveys done. It provided us with specific information that we integrated into our school plan as well as providing me insight about my staff's readiness to move to the next level of consciousness in the model. It's amazing how much you’ve been able to help and encourage me from afar!!! Bob, you are fantastic!

Initially, I thought committing a week to this self-development program was too time consuming. I discovered just the
opposite. The kick-off Leadership Week enhanced my ability to focus on personal and professional guiding principles to
aid my performance.

Michelle Hancock, Ass’t. Superintendent, Leadership Development & Diversity, Rochester City School District

It is with a deep sense of satisfaction that I am embarking on this journey to discover and create my own “true life”. Tom
and Elaine did a wonderful job guiding and supporting each member of the group with structure, insightful questions and
heart warming humor. I am now creating more strategic value for my company according to clients and colleagues alike.

Tom has assisted me in preparing for a CEO position. He is a phenomenal coach. The impact of Tom’s coaching touches
the whole life of an individual. His skill helps one focus on value-driven leadership and leadership from the heart.

Feedback from my participation at the week-long leadership development program “in no way shows the appreciation I have, but please know that this experience has been a crucible moment!

Debbie Kandler, Wegmans Food Markets, Inc.

Certainly one of the best training courses I have ever participated in. Full of personal insight and self-help (not touchy feely) action plans. If I don’t follow through and adopt these learnings into my life, I have failed myself...the course has not failed me. (Editor’s note – ongoing coaching ensures successful follow through.)

Scott Sproule, Regional Sales Manager, Corning Life Sciences

The experience provides greater learnings than anything I had previously experienced. It was unique in its focus on the team! The Center for Creative Leadership could learn from you! (Attended CCL in 2001)

Chris Kacko, SM Buffalo Division

I’m on the down side of my primary career. This experience early in my career or mid career would have had a remarkable impact—maybe even “good to great”. I’m grateful to have the experience even now—maybe help me open up a new door!

Michael Robinson, Chief of Operations, RCSD

“The Bull’s Eye Enhanced Selection process has helped us reduce our Account Representative turnover by 35%. We have decreased time-to-fill rates by 30% and doubled our length of tenure.”

“Excellent (knowledgeable) speaker! Excellent material, great group to train with.”

“The presenter was very knowledgeable, injected humor, disclosed information about himself, and was very pleasant. He was able to keep the group's attention and encourage participation. Not only was a lot of good information presented, but also how to use it.”

“Thank you again for your recent presentations at both Hardinge and RIT. You did a great job!”

“As expected, you were a wealth of knowledge. Your presentation, Training Impact—The Supervisor’s Role, was a huge success, your comments were very informative, and you passed on some practical strategy.”

“I found this training to be very interesting. I realized what is important to me in the different roles I play...I learned new ways to perform each role more effectively.”

“As always, Bob does not disappoint! He prepared us to identify a variety of behavioral styles and to apply that information for more effective interactions with customers. He facilitated Behavioral Selling by effectively blending humor, information delivery and skills practice. We look forward to working with Bob in the future as we continue to grow these skills.”
