“Emily and I are husband & wife founders and we never had a business coach before Herb. We hesitantly engaged with him as our cashflow was negatively affected by the pandemic and that he seemed so far away, we are based in the Philippines and he is coming from the other side of the world. Looking back, I wish we had him early on in our 15 years leading our company. Herb has been pivotal in keeping us positive, focused, and disciplined resulting to continuous business growth and positive cash flow in spite of the difficult economic recession. He has mastery of Scaling Up and related tools that he brings out from his bag… like a highly skilled doctor or mechanic. These tools help your company get unstuck and get you moving. He is always very well prepared prior to every coaching session. What we also love about Herb is that he is a family man, working with his wife Lori. He has gained a ton of first-hand entrepreneurship experience working with his Dad and family. These family values are important as business to us is very personal. Herb is there to protect you, your people and your business. He will never allow your company to go backwards, ever! Currently, he is fighting with us, in our corner as we journey into achieving our BHAG… and reminding us to also have fun in the process.”

Dennis Balajadia, Co Founder & CEO Dragon Edge Group

“Our company was facing many challenges. We could not seem to reach the potential I knew we are capable of. We had managed to implement some of the Scaling Up book concepts and subsequently attended the 2019 Scaling Up Crisis Edition which Herb facilitated. I got to know Herb during the 2019 course, and we naturally reached out to him to get into the good stuff. Herb quickly connected with where we were at and then supported us in mapping a path to the next milestones. We have had many positive results with the biggest change being my ability to filter through the noise of managing the business and engage my team more effectively. My team is also responding in a way that makes for effective alignment and execution. I really appreciate how Herb listens with an experienced ear and speaks slowly so I can understand. I absolutely would recommend Herb to others; he is an invaluable source of structured insight. Any business or organization wanting to punch at the next weight class would benefit from his input and I would highly recommend scheduling a free call to see if Scaling Up is the right program for your firm.”

Wayne Spray, Managing Director Frozen Drinks Africa

“We started using Herb as a business coach after attending a Scaling Up course that he presented. What attracted us to Herb, after using other coaches in the past, was his direct experience in running a significant business. In scaling up our business we needed “someone like us” – who had been through what we were facing. Since we have been using Herb, his insights and direction have been instrumental in our business expansion. He is honest, knowledgeable, direct and exactly what we need. I have no hesitation in recommending Herb to help push your business from a fledgling Start Up to a successful Scale Up.”

Michael Barwell, Founder and CEO of Telligence
