“After 15 years of running my business, I was confident in my abilities but when revenue began to slip and profits declined, nothing that we implemented corrected the problem. I was embarrassed. As a management consultant, Kevin was not only discrete in handling our assignment but identified issues that we did not see. Within two months our problems leveled off and within one year revenue returned to budget and net profit significantly exceeded target.”
M. Oliver, President & COO “After 26 years in business, I was frustrated as sales remained flat and we endured four consecutive breakeven years. Morale began to slide and I lost some key executives. Kevin’s consulting team completed an analysis and pointed out numerous problem areas. He taught me how to build high-performance teams and coached me to become a better leader. The benefits were almost immediate and continued throughout the year as net profit increased from zero to seven figures. Now, work is fun again, my team is happy and I am taking vacations every two months. Thank you, friend.”
T. Cavenaugh, President “Your workshop on CEO Effectiveness and Strategy Execution was a tremendous success. The participating CEOs learned a great deal and left the program inspired to become better leaders. We particularly appreciated strategy execution tips and techniques designed to accelerate business results in our respective companies. Thank you for your leadership and strong contribution to our learning and growth during the workshop. (I nominated you for recognition for the best workshop that we have ever had.)”
R. Fortney, President & CEO “Kevin Miles is an exceptional management consultant. He brings great knowledge, extremely valuable expertise, personality, fresh perspective and an extraordinary work effort to each and every project he undertakes. Kevin is engaging, insightful, provocative and inspiring.”
V. Ottaviano, PE, CEO “The most important lesson that we learned is that achieving a leadership position in our industry is not a race, but rather a culture developed on a foundation of the proper strategy and the required core competencies.”
Executive Vice President Prior to engaging Kevin Miles as a corporate consultant, we were focused on developing and implementing a new strategy. Frankly, when Kevin described the equal importance of process, I did not fully understand the benefit. As we worked together, I came to understand the role that process plays in effective strategy development. No one else offered this valuable benefit and no one else could have delivered the results that we have achieved.”
F. Daya, President “My partners had a distinctly different view of the challenges in our company and my plan was not working. Your consulting and coaching greatly benefitted the entire corporation, my partners and our employees. Our customers and primary vendor even congratulated us for the changes and improvements.”
J. Sobieski, CEO “Thank you for holding me accountable. The first time that you were direct with me, I considered terminating the project. The next day my ego began to heal and I realized that the ‘yes’ atmosphere in my company was good for my ego but bad for my businesses. As a result of your leadership development, my managers are exponentially more effective than they were before you walked through our doors.”
M. Moffit, President “You offer effective management tools that translate strategic plans into projects that deliver.”
Paul Susan, PE, President “ You changed how I do my planning and significantly increased my ability to reach my goals.”
R. Kauffman, CEO “You taught us how to develop strategy and manage projects smoothly. As a bonus, you made it fun and inspired us to take action. How could it get any better?”
S. Klein, Sr. VP “The benefits of planning with your approach are crystal clear.”
R. Jones, President “Kevin will hone in with a laser focus and pull you up and through the eye of a needle! His no-BS, non-judgmental approach gets me over the hurdle each time. Thanks to Kevin, I am able to make more effective business decisions.”
Y. Kim, President My partner and I decided to part ways and I paid seven figures to acquire his stock. Rumors ran rampant through the company, customers were concerned and I feared losing the company. Kevin refused my offer to take over as CEO but he agreed to help me develop a plan and reorganize the company. As a result of his help, we developed a clear direction supported by short-term and long-term plans. Most importantly he assisted us with implementation. Customers were receptive, suppliers provided improved pricing and employees were happy. In addition our banks were quite surprised at the end of the year when we showed a significant increase in sales and net profit.
Donald Moore, President & CEO “After building my company to more than $50 million in annual sales, I was tired and the next generation of my family was not interested in buying the business. Kevin was instrumental in helping us to more than triple net income and to accomplish my ultimate corporate goal, which was acquisition. In fact, he not only helped us to position the company but he participated in the negotiations with the buyer. The transition was smooth, my two children are employed by the new company and I am enjoying retirement.”
Lawrence Tilton, President “Your leadership has enabled us to bring out the best in our people. You have made the significant contribution to the fulfillment of our vision to become first in our market and a leader in our industry.”
