"Leadership skills are absolutely essential to be successful in business over the long-haul. Even though I had leadership skills, I knew there were areas I could improve with regard to communication and proper delegation. This led me to pursue business coaching through Roth Consulting Group. Creation of a personal purpose statement gave me a basis from which I could grow. I looked at business from a different view with this in mind. I was coached in techniques that helped me to delegate more effectively, which freed up more of my time to grow and perform at higher levels. My productivity has increased 30% by helping others to be more effective in their roles, and by delegating effectively. I recommend Roth Consulting Group to anyone who wants to improve their own personal business skills in a way that will positively affect their bottom line."

     I have a “pace setter” style of leadership. My coaching experience with Bud Roth helped me slow down and listen to others patiently, ask questions, value their thoughts, understand their POV and still accomplish my goals. I learned about myself, what I value the most and the impact I have on others. As a result, I've developed a higher level of emotional intelligence.

    It has been very beneficial to have Bud as an outside, impartial coaching professional to discuss these developmental specifics. I demonstrated to myself that it's OK to show some vulnerability as a leader and have it strengthen my leadership style. Bud is very easy to talk to – open, honest, clear in providing feedback, clear about what we were trying to accomplish. As I tried his suggestions, I was able to see they were working through the reactions and feedback from people. Some co-workers who had been critical of my style in the past were now providing positive comments.

     Generally, the return on the investment resulted in improved productivity and less conflict situations. I've seen productivity gains in myself, in people I manage, in our team. While the work load is high, I think we are more relaxed, thinking more clearly, and less likely to get overwhelmed. Coaching with Bud was a valuable experience.

     Thanks to Bud Roth and my coaching experience, I have a new sense of confidence, influence and leadership abilities. My leadership approach now provides me the time and opportunity to work at a higher level. I delegate more with trust, take more risks with my people, and they are clearer about their accountability. Consequently, we are all more productive since we rely on each other more. I was able to raise the level of my integrity by eliminating over committing and stepping up my follow-up. My internal customers have commented on my conscientiousness.  

     Bud also helped me prioritize the most important parts of my personal and professional life by developing my purpose in both areas. My written action plan for fulfilling what I want to do and learn is the key to my progress. I recommend Bud as a very effective coach. He has definitely made a difference in my life and career. Get to know Bud, you will not be disappointed!
