Ross was invited to craft and facilitate a workshop on Talent Management in small/medium sized companies for the NY HR Planning Society (NYHRPS) Thought Leaders Forum. Ross was very engaging, insightful and knowledgeable. The approach he took was compelling, ensuring that the talent strategy being discussed was directly linked to business challenges, and he struck the right balance between sharing his enormous expertise and encouraging participants to share theirs. I found the time he devoted to action planning particularly effective – I know for a fact that participants walked away with very specific actions they were excited to bring to their executive teams to really move the needle on their biggest talent challenges.

I had the sincere pleasure of working with Ross as he mentored me and our team at the 1777 Company. His guidance, support, and insights were invaluable. His input allowed me to strengthen my approach, and identify specific ways to collaborate with the team for maximum output and results. He’s also an incredibly kind and insightful person, well liked and respected by all. I highly recommend his coaching and mentorship.

Ross is that “one of a kind’ person and leader that can bridge the strategies of the business and how learning & development can be an essential partner in the solution. For six years I enjoyed the challenges and rewards of working on his high performing e-Learning & Instructional Design Team. I was always impressed with his knowledge of organizations, figuring out where and how to influence it through strong people relationships, and demonstrating how learning could earn that “seat at the table”. Both inside Pfizer and in the larger U.S. learning community Ross is respected as a thought leader and learning expert with deep expertise in learning for performance.
