What our clients are saying about their Coaches:

“My company just celebrated the best year in our 14-year history. I’ve never felt more confident in what I’m doing and in my ability to make smart, informed, and even difficult decisions and that’s in large part thanks to Dale’s mentorship. Running a business is full of challenges and having Dale as a resource to lean on when I need feedback has helped me take my business to the next level. He’s also just a genuinely great, friendly, thoughtful person. If you need help with your business, I cannot recommend Dale highly enough.”

“My experience in working with Vlamir was very positive.  The coordination of the different areas, the form of government, and the team’s sensitivity to the relevant issues of the company allowed us to quickly improve. Today I have much more time due to management of my priorities and the empowerment of the department heads of the different areas involved.  I recommend them and will continue to do so!”

“The knowledge of the Scaling Up methodology and the experience in large and small companies allowed us to build trust in our teams. This allowed us to delegate more, which provides us with better results, a better organizational climate and additionally, we have more confidence that reflects a positive impact on the lives and family of each one of us”

” His great capacity for strategic vision, together with the facility for collaborative work and an easy and direct language, were decisive in the success of the design of the development strategy of the multi-fruit and international agricultural investment holding company. Additionally, as a coach, she showed great closeness, involvement, and affection in her accompaniment work, making her coaches get ready for a joint professional development work that was very positive.”

“Finding the right people and putting everyone in the right position is essential to achieve a great culture in a successful organization. Lluís has initiated the development of the digital version of the Job Score-card and has constantly driven us throughout the process. In his pleasant, positive way, he asked critical questions, gave decisive impulses, and never lost sight of putting the added value for the customer first. Thank you, Lluís”

“We started working with Lluís as a part of a European Project. This project came at the right time when our small startup transitioned from less than 10 people to almost 30 team members. Lluís helped us in establishing some of the most crucial processes in our growing organization. We continued working with Lluís outside of the scope of the project. One example is the two-day workshop he organized to define our core values. It was an interactive and fun way to get feedback from various team members in Qmenta and we managed to define and more importantly learned how to keep our values alive throughout the organization”

“A typical characteristic of startups, and even more so of spin-offs, is the lack of experience in business administration issues of the founders. These companies are born with a novel product idea or, in the case of spin-offs, with a technology that has to be transferred from the academic world to the business world. Generally, the founders of these companies are people with very technical knowledge (engineers, scientists, etc.) of the product or problem to be solved and do not know business management. Business management and management are as important as the technical part. For this reason, coaching and mentoring contributions such as those of Lluís Gras are essential for entrepreneurs to open their knowledge, obtain support and success, and have trustworthy people with whom they can share both management, economic and organizational problems as well as the part, very important, of business psychology.”

“As Lluís describes very well, the purposes and values ​​play a fundamental role in aligning companies towards a common goal in times of development. Working with Lluís in this area has helped us structure our growth and design a framework that has allowed us to guide the entire team in the same direction. In addition to being an excellent professional, Lluís is one of those people with whom it is a pleasure to work.”

“When we started the Holaluz adventure, at the end of 2010, the business culture was for us something nice, of a modern company, that looked very good in a presentation. Over the years and the experience of disruptive growth, we have learned that culture is a fundamental pillar that has allowed us to organize and motivate a great team of people, thanks to which Holaluz achieves incredible challenges. Lluís’ experience and vision have contributed enormously to this transformation.”

“It’s been amazing working with Tom. I have simply become a fan of Scaling Up. As a CEO of growing business, I started to feel a little less in control, but now having worked with Tom for the last year, I feel like I am back in control of our growing business. I will never forget how Tom challenged me on my Core Purpose. I thought we had it all worked out but it turns out we were confused with “what” we were doing versus “why” we really do it. This really drew out my deep-seated passionate Core Purpose and gave me a lot more energy, drive, and meaning going forward. That was a major achievement! Embedding the 3-year strategy (3HAG), annual/quarterly priority planning, and the regular meeting rhythm process, gave us the real structure we needed rather than drifting all over the place. Its been a huge change for the better on how we operate as a business – with real purpose and a culture of regular planning, and follow-through accountability. Tom also helped me to see the flip side of my pure loyalty-based promotion-from-within mindset, and that hiring experienced leaders externally will not only help me run my business better, it will also better serve the continuous learning and development of my existing team.”
