| Regarding one-on-one coaching: |
|
Every one-on-one session with Bobbie Goheen targeted a different career challenge - personnel, leadership, task management, prioritization were a few. With each meeting, Bobbie really listened to understand my short term goals, long term objectives and immediate challenges and helped develop platforms and solutions to each issue discussed. Her depth of experience working with a wide-variety of professionals was evident with every recommendation and improvement she suggested. |
| Regarding leadership / group training: |
|
Working with a group of very different upper-level managers on a monthly basis, Bobbie Goheen helped develop a synthesis within a very diverse team. With 18 individuals, Bobbie was successful in fostering our group’s understanding of each others thought processes, uniqueness’s, and sensitivities; and through that led our diverse team of thinkers to cohesively to maximize creativity, leadership, and camaraderie. Bobbie’s knowledge and expertise leading large and diverse management groups is beyond compare." |

Bobbie’s coaching services have been instrumental to our management team’s growth, development and success. As a firm with multiple offices across several states, the challenges of working cohesively as a team are immense. Bobbie helped us learn the lessons necessary to eliminate the barriers that were limiting our effectiveness. She helped us to see beyond ourselves, eliminate dysfunctional attitudes inherent in any office culture, and to embrace a greater vision as a cohesive team. We are extremely thankful to have worked with Bobbie, I would highly recommend her services to any business that is looking to improve.

"My association with Synthesis Management Group includes both executive coaching and leadership training. I can honestly say that my leadership and organizational skills have been enhanced by the thoughtful and insightful process Bobbie has perfected.
The executive coaching helped me to focus on my strengths, identify my areas of weakness and develop a plan to improve upon these areas. Moreover I created a vision of where I want to be and how to get there. I needed a strong but objective voice to affirm and challenge me as I moved through this intensive process of self evaluation, clarification of goals and creation of a development plan. I often reflect on my “vision” of the perfect career and measure my growth towards this ideal.
The leadership workshop was more interactive and relational, yet in many ways just as transformative. I came away with a deeper understanding of how to deal with difficult people, to listen to my “inner voice” and allow it to guide me recognizing and appreciating the progress I had made and difficulties I had already surmounted. It was intense yet refreshing too. Too seldom do we have the opportunity to explore in depth the ways in which we touch and are touched by others." |

“Bobbie Goheen is an important part of my professional life. She is one of the resources I use to outsource the business management focus of my career. It is easy to spend time serving clients 100% of the day, but in order to grow it is critical to carve out time to look at my practice to ensure that I am continuing to grow and be able to deliver the best possible value to those clients. Through Bobbie, I develop strategies and accountabilities to ensure that I am moving forward to better serve my clients and myself. The combination of her insight, experience, and methodology is a powerful tool for a professional who wishes to be at the top of his/her game.” |

"Bobbie was contracted as our executive development coach during 2006-2007. I found her coaching approaches and group facilitation to be particularly effective in helping me develop as a leader and executive. Bobbie developed strong relationships with everyone on our team and prescribed thought-provoking activities that helped the group come together and allowed us all to develop as leaders. Her 1:1 coaching sessions were particularly helpful. I would personally recommend Bobbie for similar professional development initiatives." |

“Bobbie was brought onboard to help us form a set of corporate values that employees could embrace and act on daily. As the coordinator, she encouraged many of us to speak candidly about our experiences, leave any apprehension at the door and then issued the appropriate challenge. The amount of critical thought and collaborative activity she helped facilitate ultimately lead us to attaining our goal. In Addition, while the focus was on forging values, active participants were also exposed to high degree of professional development. The overall experience was amazing!” |
