Aligning Purpose, Passion and Performance through Coaching
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Bob joined the board of directors of Geneva Point Center and made immediate impacts through his keen observations and probing questions delivered in his down-to-earth style. Soon after, Bob led the board through a Strategic Planning process that was so thorough and well organized that it has helped to turn the entire organization around. Bob's strength not only comes from his own experience but his ability to draw out the wisdom of everyone in the room and create consensus on the truths recognized during that process. Bob continues to serve on the GPC board and is a peerless contributor and facilitator. Thank you Bob!”
Bryan Gould President, Board of Directors, Geneva Point Center
I first met Bob at a coach training...I've since had the opportunity to engage him as MY coach. Yes, coaches have coaches too! I've found that everything I suspected about his coaching is true: he is able to perceive the deeper issues, ask the hard questions in a very gentle and supportive way, and hold me accountable to goals that I set for myself. He also openly shares intuitive hits and insights about what he's hearing in what I'm saying and is willing to be a cheerleader when that's what I need...He also can and will when needed, get in my face to confront me with something that doesn't seem congruent when comparing my words with my actions. I count him as one of my most treasured advisors and friends...He is truly gifted as a coach.

I am a member of the Board of Directors for my trade association and Bob was hired to facilitate the development of a Strategic Plan. Bob worked with our group for about a year to produce the document we work from to this day. I found Bob gentle in his approach and yet irresistible to follow. The work we produced was clear and serves to keep us on track, clear up digressions and helped greatly in making decisions that affect our industry. I highly recommend Bob for all such work of this type.

I simply wanted to let you know that I am using a "leadership / executive coach" this year and he has been enormously helpful to me to organize my time and priorities, clarify and stay focused on issues of high importance. The added value is that he helps me with emotional issues and personal matters that can interfere with decision making and more importantly sense of balance and purpose.
He understands our jobs extremely well, is totally objective...He has been a huge asset to me personally and professionally. My board loves the idea, has endorsed my using him again and does not contact him unless he and I agree...He is 100% reliable and rock solid confidential. I am so comfortable with him (and with myself...) that the faculty and administration know I am working with him. I think it models well, frankly.

In my role as Executive Director, it is imperative that I lead from my head as well as my heart. Bob’s wisdom and skills both refine my thoughts and clarify my emotions. I know that I’m becoming a more effective leader through exceptional coaching.
Stephen Streufert, Executive Director, Salish Sea Expeditions, Seattle, Washington
A simple "thank you" is hardly sufficient for the fullness in my heart toward you and the program to which you introduced me. The Power of Our Way by Anita Pathik Law provided me just the stepping stones I needed to get started on a more fulfilling daily adventure. Your guidance throughout the process was invaluable with unwavering balance between a listening ear, a clarifying comment or a gentle, insightful question.
The daily readings and "thought invokers" provided a guided journey touching on every aspect of a well rounded, authentic life full of awareness. As I enter the fourth quarter of my life, let me once more stress my gratefulness to you for mentoring me with such empathy and skill. You have helped me put many new tools in my collection and polish some that had become rusty. Thanks, Peggy.

Bob MacArthur provided me with a safe environment for examining my work habits, learning style and personal motivations… With an artful blend of challenge and support, Bob allowed me to clearly focus on first identifying and then shifting behaviors that support the changes I wanted to make. While my work is never done, his probing questions and reframing have greatly assisted me in sorting through many of my unconscious habits that limit my effectiveness as a professional. Bob has helped me dedicate the time I need to think and work more effectively.
Bill Proudman, Managing Partner, White Men as Full Diversity Partners, Portland, Oregon
As I re-engineered my 5 year old company from a consultancy to more of an agency, Peggy was an invaluable resource. We were moving from infancy to the next phase of our growth which meant we needed to refine our vision and assign new roles and responsibilities. Peggy led us through a very methodical process which began by taking the pulse of the organization, each player at a time. We realigned talent then moved into a marketing and growth mode. Again, Peggy was there to help us define next steps, encourage us and cheer our successes. We continue on the growth path she helped us uncover.
Harriet Blickenstaff, Owner, Blick & Staff Communications, St. Louis, Missouri
An early experience in business taught me that a good idea is not the sole foundation for success. I learned through coaching that the implementation of a good idea must be preceded by clarity of intent, purpose and preparedness. Peggy helped me discover my true interests, level of confidence, willingness to persevere, preparedness and my long term goals. With answers to these questions I was able to confidently move forward to the next task of creating and implementing a business venture.
