“The impact of Agnes Mura and her work on two of my projects has been absolutely invaluable:

One was a publicly traded company where she performed a CEO 360 review as well as a thorough Board evaluation; the second was a complex charter school where she performed an Executive Director evaluation for the board. In both cases, she generated valuable new insights, coaching recommendations and action plans for us, with clear follow-up. As a director on the first project and chairman of the governing board on the second, I experienced firsthand the skill and dedication Agnes brings to each task. She is dedicated, intelligent, effective, and professional beyond measure. I would recommend her to anyone without reservation.”

I wanted to let you know that I have had a lot of dialogue with our Group CEO over the last month about my development ,which has resulted in me receiving a significant pay raise and the following language in a formal letter: “This increase reflects the very positive progress you have made during 2019 as you have grown in stature, experience and accomplishment as Chief Executive Officer of your business. I know the year has had its ups and downs personally and professionally, but you have responded very positively to all the challenges and to all the feedback you have been blessed to receive…”.
“I know this isn’t the destination, but it is exactly the endorsement and recognition I have been craving… I would not have achieved this without you.”

“The counsel and guidance that Ramiro provided was invaluable to our management team as our organization grew in size from 60 employees to upwards of 250. Whether the topic was leadership training, work place surveys or general consulting on organizational topics his “product” delivery was high quality and helped us to focus our efforts in right places”

“John, you are a 10!

This year I needed to prove to the senior leadership at First American that I was the right candidate to promote into the open position of president for the home warranty division. My knowledge, experience and accomplishments have never been in question. What I needed was to look at myself as a leader and at how others see me, to refine some leadership areas required to be successful at that next level. I felt like we achieved a big step forward, as others notice some of the critical changes I made in my management approach and style. And the mindset shifts are holding up. You always provoked “ah ha” moments of self-awareness for me, pearls of wisdom, and relevant quotes that I took away each time. Thank you for also letting me call you when a specific business challenge presented itself and for being a great just-in-time sounding board.”

“Agnes, you are a deep listener who captures patterns and organizational needs very accurately:

Whenever I have sought AMI’s counsel in solving talent issues in the three (!) companies where we have collaborated over the years, you have delivered what we needed – and more. This always enhances HR’s reputation in the firm! I continuously hear from our managers that your leadership and management programs helped them make lasting changes, and that the course material “keeps giving” for a long time.

On this occasion, thank you also for being my mentor and inspiring me to be a better leader, as well as to study to become a certified corporate coach myself. Roche appreciates it!”

“John is a wonderful coach.

He is able to pull from a wealth of practical experience to really understand his clients’ needs and give real working solutions to find improvement. We have used many coaches here at Mattel, and I think that John has really separated from many of the others. He brings thoughtful insights to those he works with and then helps his client develop very actionable plans for success. Further, he has enough strength of character to tell it like it is. My last point is that John is not my coach, he is helping one of my reports. He has done an excellent job working with me and my HR partner to ensure that everyone is getting the most out of the experience and that we are seeing real change with his client.”
