Within a few moments you will realize the worth of his abilities. \r\n\r\nOne thing I saw as an asset was JB\'s ability to come up with so many strategies in my profession, which he himself does not have a background in. That fact in itself shows me that JB can easily adapt to ANY profession without having an extensive background in it, providing you with invaluable tools to better yourself (both personally and professionally). \r\n\r\nThank you for all your help JB and I look forward to working with you in the future. <strong>~Charlie Badida, Branch Manager (<em><a href=http://jacobdeanmortgage.com target=\"_blank\">Jacob Dean Mortgage</a></em>)</strong>"],[],"i0","i0");

sts_ai("i6",[,"<hr />I\'ve had leadership training through a local college - textbook driven with generic cookie cutter solutions. From JB I received a personal hands on approach tailored to my uniqueness. Goal setting and achievement is the most important tool away. I learned, and am still learning, that my goals dictate my actions and clarify how I lead my team. This also helps me to plan my days more efficiently and maximize my time management.\r\n\r\nWe worked on issues I’ve never touched on. Goal setting, core values, time management, scheduling, and self-understanding all improve my leadership. Talking through my concerns helped clarify my personal leadership issues. As a highly effective coach, JB kept me focused on important issues while making sure we spent our time together supporting my new learning. \r\n\r\nI use the skills I learned from JB today. The college classes I took gave some insight, but nothing I could use day-to-day. JB\'s personality will work with anyone who desires to improve. He is great at making sure development has value and connects to pressing issues. He is personal enough to be involved, yet can keep a distance when he needs to.\r\n\r\nI would recommend JB to anyone looking to learn and improve their management team.<strong>~Frank Cerny, Manager of Manufacturing Operations (<em><a href=http://flotork.com target=\"_blank\">Moog Flo-Tork</a></em>)</strong>"],[],"i0","i0");

sts_ai("i8",[,"<hr />I usually find little value in this type of development. However, I feel that it was good for us because nothing like this has been attempted by this group. I guess it was tried in the past with a different group, but none of the conclusions were put into practice. I think you had a very challenging group and you kept it on-point. I also feel that there were times when the group got out-of-focus and you seemed to do a real good job of letting it go on just long enough before bringing it back. I think it was very important to allow that deviation. This was the first time that this group...all of the players...were together at one time. Considering that, I believe it was just as important to allow breaks from topic as it was to reel the group back in. You came into a somewhat \'hostile\' environment with several very experienced and set-in-their-ways senior management personnel. You handled yourself and the group very well. You were interested and engaged throughout, and although you pointed out that you were not an expert in our industry (and didn\'t need to be), you tried to learn more than you actually had to. That is very important, and it will come in handy down the road as you exceed our investment. <strong>~Bill Harvey, CFO (<em><a href=http://victorywv.com target=\"_blank\">Victory of West Virginia, Inc.</a></em>)</strong>"],[],"i0","i0");

In my opinion, our company is better situated to engage the challenges in our future, whatever they are, from having gone through this process of leadership training by JB Bryant.\r\n\r\nI definitely would recommend Strategic Alignment Group.
