“Herb’s coaching style is to influence others to be greater than they even thought they could be. He asks the right questions and emphatically listens. He then guides us through strategic planning utilizing the Scaling Up growth tools he has mastered. Herb leads us to determine not what we want to do but what we need to do to achieve our goals. Because of Herb we are a more disciplined, collaborative and innovative team achieving year over year success.”

“We run an e-commerce company that is trying to grow quickly. As inexperienced co-founders, we decided to give coaching a shot to keep us on track. From our first meeting with Herb we knew he was the guy to help us get to the next level. With unrelenting optimism and an eye for asking the right questions about our business he has helped our business take off. Since his arrival, we have been laser focused on the activities that matter because of his direction. He holds us accountable every week and shares stories from his experiences as a business leader to give us context when we are faced with a difficult decision. If you are a growing business and want to turbocharge your growth – Herb is your guy to help you do it”

“Herb is a trusted business growth advisor, coach and mentor and what we learned in our 2-day planning session was eye-opening. The planning session has given our team empowerment, structure, and direction. It has given us a road map to scale our business and made us think outside of the box. It forced our team to ask questions we have never asked before and it has opened our eyes to building a stronger and more successful company.

I like that Herb helped us think creatively about our business and the guidance to navigate through the OPSP. He is helping our team work on our business while also working in our business. I am certain that we could not have done this without Herb. He knows this system well and is going to be a great partner to our team. I look forward to the months and years ahead”

Dan Fantasia
President | Treeline, Inc.

“Herb is an ABSOLUTE amazing human. I do not have enough space or words to express the impact his advice, guidance, and support has been. I highly recommend Herb to business leaders looking to scale, team build, and stand for a positive impact in the world. Proud to know him and lucky to get to work with him”

Jennelle McGrath
CEO | Market Veep

“Herb is one of the most clear-thinking people I know. I’ve worked with Herb over the past year as our scaling up coach and his guidance is always right on. He clearly cares deeply about helping others, and brings real experience to the table as a repeat INC 5000 CEO. Running a business in IT and cyber-security with a constantly changing landscape, in addition to all the other challenges of running a business, makes it hard to stay focused on goals, and Herb is always there to help me see the path more clearly. Herb is an absolute pleasure to work with, and an all around great person to know”

Ann Westerheim
CEO | Ekaru

“Herb has been our Scaling Up coach and my business partner and I are receiving extremely valuable guidance and feedback from Herb that we are able to implement into our business right away. Herb is a fantastic communicator and is a trusted mind outside of our internal day to day operations that we can bring issues or ‘stucks’ to and get valuable feedback and resources often same day. We are excited to continue to implement the Scaling Up framework as well as grow our business and personal relationships directly with Herb. While Herb has grown and scaled his own business in the past and can bring firsthand experience to the table, what we value most about working Herb is his genuine desire to always be of help and make himself available in any way, shape, or form in both business and everyday-life situations”
