– Mark Jedele, Total Export. Minneapolis, MN

“Mark opened my eyes to making our organization better.  He gave me a vocabulary around culture and the difference between culture and climate.  He also gave us a framework for assessing organizational skills which tied directly to our employee evaluations.  We discussed leadership and the need to balance the task and behavior sides of leading.  I enjoyed working with Mark – he listened to my issues and gave me good feedback.”

– Bob Archambault, Stinson Electric. Minneapolis, MN

“I’ve gotten great value out of my participation in TAB. My board is truly my board – providing me with honest and frank feedback, insight into struggles or challenges I experience in the course of doing business, and much-appreciated support! Along with all of this is how well it works to hold me accountable to my goals and strategies. TAB has been very helpful in keeping me on track and focused.”

– K. Matsuhashi. Executive Confidante . Eagan, MN

“I joined TAB for the accountability I felt membership would provide – having someone to answer to for my intentions and actions that is otherwise lacking when you’re the owner of a company. The accountability piece is definitely there for me in TAB, but what I’ve also gained has been the sense of raising my head “out of the trenches” – getting a broader view of my business and what I should/could be doing. I come out of every meeting re-energized for running my business.”

– Susan McPherson. Creative Communications Consultants. Minneapolis, MN

“I have been a TAB group member for over 15 years and find continuing value in discussing my business with other business owners. From my perspective only business owners can truly see the business side of an issue; and that has great value for me.”

– M. Day. HumeraTech. Rogers, MN

“Having had some exposure to many of the CEO peer advisory groups in town, I can say that my experience with TAB has been excellent. I have participated in a number of their board meetings over the years as a subject matter expert speaker. I have been impressed with the content and quality of the meetings and the integrity with which they treat their clients. The way they hold their clients accountable to achieving their stated goals is fantastic. It is easy for me to refer them to my clients because I have seen firsthand what they do and firmly believe in it.”
