What makes Coach Ruben different, is his practical reality-based coaching that produces results in our people and our organization. In this last year and a half, Coach Ruben has personally helped me become a better leader, has helped us with our strategic planning process and our ability to implement and accomplish our goals. He has helped us strengthen our leadership team to become more cohesive and achieve a level of clarity and alignment that I think exists in very few organizations. I have deployed him to coach our core leadership team members and we all have a great respect for his coaching. Coach Ruben will also soon be delivering important training for our entire staff on health, energy and vitality as we continue to raise the bar on our commitment to excellence. We are so glad to have Coach Ruben on our team at BVM!
