Business leaders are used to being sold to.
They're not used to being understood.

I have been working with Ron for a while now, and I've gotten to know him professionally and personally and I have developed over that time a great deal of respect for him on both counts. On the professional side, Ron is a deeply valued person who places values and ethics and a sense of purpose above all else. While he is a shrewd businessman, his empathy and level of care are extremely high, and he thrives on supporting others. In an age where so many people have learned to avoid challenges, Ron tackles issues head on, and his intuition and ability to be direct and to the point is refreshing in a world where people increasingly retract and become more inwardly focused. The work that Ron is doing as a Vistage Chair is so fitting for him, having experienced the rigors of owning and managing and growing a business, and given his ability to be 'carefrontational' to the benefit of all his group's members. Personally, Ron has become a friend, a mentor, and I appreciate the time I get to spend with him.

Ron is an extremely dedicated and talented leader. I have watched his transformation from successful CEO to a caring, insightful and thoughtful executive coach and peer group leader. As a peer I value his insight and willingness to point out my areas for improvement in a manner that was always respectful and supportive. He is smart and concise with his observations and is also always ready for a smile and a laugh. I value him as a colleague and friend on this new leadership journey. I would recommend him and his group highly if you're a CEO looking for growth in a peer group environment.

I've had the opportunity to work with Ronald and have been consistently impressed by the way he shows up as a leader and a thought partner. Ron has the rare ability to cut through noise and get to what really matters. He listens carefully, asks insightful questions that brings a level of clarity that helps others think more strategically, and make better decisions. He doesn't rush to give answers — instead creates space for the right answer to emerge, which is a skill that experienced leaders truly value. What also stands out is his balance of perspective and accountability. Ron is supportive without being soft and direct without ever losing respect or trust. He challenges people in a way that feels constructive and purposeful, which naturally raises the level of thinking and performance around him. Above all, Ron operates with integrity and intention. He is someone who earns credibility quickly and sustains it over time because of how consistently he shows up. I have a high level of respect for Ron and am truly impressed with the impact he has on the leaders he works with.
