Testimonials

“Our work with Scaling Up best practices like Core Values and employee engagement, Strategic Planning, and Execution tools such as regular Meeting Rhythms and one to one’s have certainly been a big part of our results in the last decade. Datacolor’s top line has grown from $45M in 2009 to over $72M in 2017. Cash on hand has grown five times. And while the employee population has gone from 240 employees in 2009 to over 400, we’ve been able to achieve high engagement scores of 4 out of 5 on surveys while expanding our reach geographically with offices in 15 countries.”

“Nielsen-Kellerman’s growth rate has accelerated significantly in the last seven years, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 12% and 2018 growth at 20%. And I’m confident we’ll double the company over the next few years. Our work with the Scaling Up tools and best practices that membership in CEO Think Tank® have brought to us have definitely contributed to that success!”

“Thank you for the last few days of knowledge. I love the new ideas you taught us, the old ones you reinforced and the courage you showed us to make changes.”

“Using the TopGrading approach to hiring and onboarding, has had a significant impact on our business and the quality of our new hires. We now have a robust and predictable screening and interview process, clear accountabilities and key performance indicators for each position, and new people know from the get go what’s expected of them. As a result, our leadership is more engaged, and we’re bringing the right people into the organization.”

“I have enjoyed working with you very much and I am grateful for the various ways that you have helped me and my business over the past several years. I know it isn’t easy to come into a strange environment and gain enough respect to have an impact, however, you did. Our business is stronger, more organized and effective as a result of the tools and skills that you have shared with us as well as your guidance along the way. Thank you for helping us to put the right team and plan in place to help us be successful going forward.”

“Stimulating, engaging and a wonderful growth opportunity! The Leading Success program and your coaching and support through the process has helped me to be a better leader and manager. Thank you!”

“You’ve taken us from being a ‘club’ to being a real business and helped us create a Culture and Leadership Team that will ensure that we continue to ‘Scale Up’ successfully!”

“Cheryl Beth and CEO Think Tank® have been invaluable assets to me and my team. We’ve doubled in size over the past three years and the One Page Strategic Plan™ and Cheryl Beth’s consulting has kept us on track and focused!”

“We just had our Annual One Page Strategic Plan™ meeting today and are looking forward to a great year! Huddles are now going well, we’ve got the right Leadership team in place and everyone is aligned on our Actions, Key Thrusts, Annual Goals and Theme. Thanks to both of you for your coaching and nudging. It’s because of your organization and personal touch and commitment that we are moving in the right direction.”

“We’ve been in business for 20 years; we developed our own processes that were not keeping up with the growth of the company. This program has given us a structured methodology…[and] practical methods to run the business. I highly recommend the Rockefeller Habits to other business owners!”

“The biggest benefit of the Rockefeller Habits is that it gets people to think more deeply and understand that the issues in running a company are bigger than they thought. My team tells me that this is the best program that they have ever participated in and they want to be involved. And that’s powerful!”

“What I was looking for in a CEO Round Table Group you have given me. It taught me the self-accountability to get things done and grow my business sustainably. As a result of our working together, our cash flow improved, we increased our profitability, and we are on our way to a very healthy balance sheet. You have kept me and my team focused and on task!”

“We’re on track to double our revenue in 2017 with a qualified sales pipeline of several hundred million dollars and profitable operations. And the entire Hawke Aerospace enterprise has become a Team that is excited and committed to results.”

“For the first time in 11 years, I feel confident not only in our direction, but in how we will get there. With the help of Eileen Wainwright and CEO Think Tank®, we are developing the right team and support system to help us get to the top of the mountain, to get to our Big Hairy Audacious goal, to be the largest clean energy infrastructure company in America by 2040. It’s a long, long way to that summit, but CEO Think Tank® is getting us to the first base camp. And for that we are grateful.”
