His leadership and council have led us in making substantial changes and profound improvement in the effectiveness of our board and business. His communication and individual development is spot on. Through his guidance as a mentor and coach for our leadership team and advisor to me we have gained the courage and leadership skill to have tough discussions and make extremely tough decisions. His guidance has been critical in developing and staying focused on a course of transforming our business. Randy is a trusted advisor and friend to our business.

Pet’s Choice 6
Most importantly we learned to trust and enjoy working with each other, utilizing the strengths of a team and realizing some of those elusive synergies that are always forecasted but seldom seen in consolidations. I particularly recall the uniqueness and fun of our initial 3 day off-site that laid the foundation for our future. Everyone at Pet’s Choice looks back to your work as the birth of a new company that all stakeholders took pride in.

Physician Specialty Group
That being said, the client needs to be ready to look at a non-traditional approach. One key reason for my use of Route 2 was to break away from the “silo” of health care experts as consultants. I am concerned about the inbreeding of ideas. Health care experience and knowledge are important but we do need to look outside ourselves and our industry as we look forward.
Precept Wine Brands
He has served as guide, mentor, and close friend. During that time he has had a major impact not only on our business but on me as a leader as well. He has fostered an environment in which I can be a more effective leader and my team a more capable workforce. His ability to think outside the box and present real solutions from his personal experience has been incredibly valuable. Randy has been a great resource not only for me but for my direct reports as well. He was able to gain the trust and respect of my employees very quickly and his leadership training modules have left a lasting impression.
Many thanks to Randy and I look forward to working with him in the future!
