Thanks for delivering what your marketing materials promise and exceeding my expectations ten-fold.

- Deborah Wear-Finkle, MD, MPA

This program fits my needs perfectly. If I had to choose again, I'd choose it again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend it.

- Kevin J. Devine, MPA

You consistently demonstrate a superior knowledge and understanding of B2B consulting, executive coaching, marketing, sales, and customer service. Your vast experience, ideas, integrity, and talent have been vital as we take our business to new horizons.

- Dick Powell

The program brings not only an incredible wealth of broad-based business experience to building effective executives,, but one of the smartest and most strategic frameworks to ensure success among a variety of executive stakeholders.

- Suzanne Ross

The program is practical and straightforward, building on real-world leadership issues and challenges; and providing highly effective tools. Using a multi-dimensional training approach that includes group lectures, role playing, personalized one-on-one communication, self-authored books and DVDs, the program not only ensures that learning is effectively passed on but that it sticks like Velcro.

- Tristan B. De La Rosa

Andrew has a rare gift for distilling a clear, step-by-step approach that ensures outstanding achievements. I recommend his work for anyone interested in a streamlined, no nonsense approach to breakaway performance.

- Peter Meyers

I must say that your material is very good. I have purchased some of your competitors' products, but I find that your content is far more advanced.

- Michael Inglis

The IBG Program was an invaluable addition to my toolkit. Rich in content and filled with implementable tools; this capacity builder gave me the immediate confidence to engage in strategic level business discussions, provide meaningful insights and offer operational level solutions. There is no equal. Enroll, complete the program and you will not be disappointed!

- T.M. Dickens

Before signing up, I had high expectations for the coaching portion of the program but suspected that I would glean little in terms of business. I could not have been more mistaken. The CASTLE model you developed provides the framework I had hoped to learn when I earned my MBA and one which I desperately sought for both my management consulting practice and when teaching graduate business courses.... both a rock solid program and an individually empowering experience.

- Jeffrey G. Soper, MBA, Ph.D., Partner at LIPPartners and author of the upcoming book Making Things CLICK: Finding Your Fit or Creating one That Works
