business coaching for leaders & leadership teams that demand results

After several years of break-even and lackluster growth, I knew my team could produce much better results. After working with numerous advisors, I found the process, coach, and software that could help our company break through the chasm. In one year, we well exceeded our industry’s profitability. In the second year, growth is accelerating, and we are on track to increase net profitability beyond what we thought we could do. Most importantly, I have not felt this in control of my business and am as excited about the future of our company.  Activate Group brought us the scalable strategic accountability process and the tough coaching needed to get ahead of our competition. Everyone needs a coach and Activate Group delivers the goods!

Howard is an excellent business coach! He has helped me in the areas of practice development and management and I would recommend him to others.

Howard is a dynamic speaker and appeals to all management levels with his straightforward style. He is a consultant who has experienced the challenges of business and sales. He conveys this through the way he guides executives to the solutions without providing the answer but rather through provoking thought with questions and helpful commentary. I would recommend Howard to any organization looking to increase their bottom line, enhance strategic planning, or simply provide an entertaining and useful analysis of each manager within their organization. After giving our Business Leaders an in-depth questionnaire, he was able to provide reports to each individual and their superiors to assist us in understanding better communication methods and ways to get the most out of each personality type we had in our organization. The biggest plus was that he was fun in doing so, and he became the hit at our business planning meeting last year!

I am truly impressed with how focused & determined my management team has become while working with Howard Shore and the program he customized for us. We are beginning year two under Howard’s guidance, and he has all of our departments running like a well-oiled machine. We are more efficient as a company and have learned to work smarter, not harder. Profitability is up, morale has never been better, and 2019 looks to be a record-breaking year.

Bringing Howard into my company was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Howard recognized the potential in my executive team and in one year has transformed it into a well-oiled machine. I attribute this growth to the personal coaching sessions and the time Howard spends with the members of my team. During the coaching sessions, he holds us accountable for our commitments and goals. He offers help and advice on meeting those commitments and goals. He makes sure we don’t back down from those commitments and goals when we feel overwhelmed and lovingly helps us find solutions to get us back on track.

Thank you, Howard!! Running my business is fun again!
