"Bob was called in to facilitate ten senior managers from two very different organisations being merged into one organisation...9 days work, an incredibly difficult group and task but Bob was awesome at guiding us through to achieving our outcomes" - Tim Harris, former Trade NZ executive.
"Can I reiterate that I felt your astute judgement of where and when you needed to push forward and hold back on the pre-determined programme was a clear reflection of your experience." - Mark Quinlivan.
"I was impressed by Bob. I have had experience of various people over the years and I rate Bob as one of the best. I thought he documented well, he kept things moving well, he pushed and pulled at various times and he recognized the energy levels when they went up and down. He coped with the necessary times of internal frustrations and made sure that we came through those all right. All in all, he knew what he was doing, he made sure we got to an endpoint and he had a nice strong manner, which a facilitator sometimes needs." - Tone Borren, Director Vcomms.
"Bob has the remarkable ability to create a workshop environment where the attendees feel safe to share opinions and feelings. He has a clear focus on the outcomes of the workshop, can keep people on task and has the wit and wisdom to cut through the rhetoric to help participants articulate the intent of any goals and objectives." - Gordon Worsley.
[re ACC Consumer Outlook Group - facilitator from 2004-07] "You have certainly been instrumental in shaping the group and you leave it at a time when it is in good heart and operating very well. I have found your approach very helpful and supportive to me and have enjoyed working with you. I know members have been very appreciative of your input and the results of the self appraisal they completed at the December meeting certainly reflect the high regard in which they hold you." - Sue North ACC
