Rubi Ho, President and CEO
Our team session, facilitated by Rubi, was wonderful! I feel we are really set up well for 2018 and beyond! We held our follow-up session and are now clearly aligned on our action plan! Rubi, you’ve had a MAJOR impact on our future success and I can’t thank you enough!
Sue Williams, Executive Director
iSPACE: The S.T.E.M. Learning Place
Rubi has an uncanny and unbelievable ability to quickly and accurately assess and understand organizational misalignment and disconnects. In working with Rubi I found a wealth of business as well as life experience woven into an approach he uses to help teams see in practical terms what needs to happen for them through individual contribution to become one in approach and objective and above all to achieve positive results.

Our HR leadership team needed a greater sense of stability, focus, alignment and overall growth on the leadership and team unification fronts. Our partnership with Rubi Ho resulted in significant improvement in all areas, setting our team up for success and helping optimize how we deliver for the rest of the organization!

CEOs should engage The Rubi Ho Group if ANY PART of their company is facing challenges with team mis-alignment and/or lackluster performance. Left alone, these issues could lead to dysfunction and lack of a shared vision among other problems. The Rubi Ho Group’s SAOL Methodology clearly clarified our issues, opportunities and improved our own areas of accountability.
John Mitchell
CEO, Cincinnati Association of the Blind
With Rubi’s help, ACEC-KY (American Council of Engineering Companies in Kentucky) was able to initiate a complete reset of our organization. Our goals were to change the trajectory of the organization, infuse some energy, determine our direction for the future, bring us closer together, and give back to those volunteer leaders who have dedicated so much of their time to the association. Mission(s) accomplished! Thanks, Rubi!
Brad Montgomery, PE
President of ACEC (American Core of Engineering Council)-KY
I have admired Rubi Ho for some time now and I continue to be in awe of his knowledge, skills, and intuition. He has an amazing ability to provide others with his very significant insight. Rubi’s obvious strengths come from his meaningful wisdom and experience which he displays often.
Lee Fogle
CEO, Duke University Federal Credit Union
Rubi Ho and his SAOL methodology creates leadership platforms that allow him to read into an organization and its people like no one else can, and then offer the guidance and direction to transform not only the individuals, but the organization as a whole.

Co-Owner, Peach State Freightliner
Rubi taught me how to define a strategy to create positive change in myself and the way I disciple others, building on my strengths.
Carla Wheaton Atkins
Center Point Christian Church
I was hesitant about the value of a coach but I’m a true believer now. Rubi focused on my leadership success by involving me, my executive team and my direct reports. Together, we created partnerships and alignment that benefitted all. With Rubi’s coaching, I feel more poised for success than if I had done this on my own.
Stephanie Ferris
Chief Financial Officer, Vantiv
I like the way Rubi broke down the core concepts in a way that you can use them for team, self and/or organization. His H.O.P.E. (having only positive energy) is a new way to state an existing concept.
Jeanne Lytle
One2One Ministry
Rubi Ho is a true partner in helping organizations transform from dysfunction to genuine health. Our team is now one voice and, as a result, we will double our congregation this year. Regardless of your business, the principles Rubi teaches will work in any organization interested in avoiding mediocrity, manifesting excellence and fulfilling your vision.

Bill Ciberay, Certified SAOL Consultant
Bill’s consultation was timely and a great investment. Issues (pain points) that compromised our ability to communicate were identified and resolved. He put in place an aggressive action plan to complete our transition and change some dysfunctional organizational habits. We are confident in Bill’s ability to continue to work with us as we strive to become a healthier organization. Thank you Bill!

Peter Lachance, Certified SAOL Consultant
Peter Lachance has been an integral asset in helping us place the right people in the right positions. We recently engaged him to assist with leader assimilation into a newly created position, which included facilitating a feedback session with the new leader’s team and coaching the new leader. Peter’s approach and counseling provided much-needed clarity and guidance helping us to make the difficult decision to part ways with the new hire. Without his assessment and recommendation, we may have “settled” for an unproductive situation costing our organization unnecessary time and money.

Jacqueline Hutsell, Certified SAOL Consultant
The team optimization session that you facilitated was fantastic. All team members were very engaged and felt very positive leaving the session. As a result of the information shared and collected at this session, the department will be able to set a road map on what we need to work on and build upon what was identified as what is already working. Through learning the styles of team members in the session it will allow us to ensure what we work on and how we approach it has impact on the entire team.
Through the teams input I truly believe we will be able to develop a successful roadmap for the team as it will be built on their feedback.
Thank you for facilitating and leading this and I am looking forward to doing this with the other departments.

Kathy Gingrich Lubbers, Certified SAOL Consultant
Using the DiSC to stimulate an objective discussion of collaboration and leadership, Kathy Lubbers led a 2-day non-profit board retreat that enabled board members to step forward and take ownership of a heretofore founder-driven organization. Everyone left energized and engaged. She brought a coaching and consulting style that combined wisdom with humor to help me develop the awareness and knowhow to convey expectations and goals to millennial staff.
Susan Koehler
Executive Director, Hopecam
Kathy’s leadership expertise helped create a platform of common understanding and alignment among the team. Without her leadership, we may have been heading in the right direction, but likely would have “arrived” at different times and with far greater mis-alignment!
Stephanie Palmeri, Partner
SoftTech VC
Kathy Lubbers’ counsel was crucial in deepening relationships amongst the board and staff; something we may never have achieved without her help. In one session with her, our board and staff learned the best way to relate and work with one another to accomplish goals. Importantly, we all left with clearer roles and responsibilities.
Brad Hawkins, Vice President

Kathy Lubbers shows true passion and brilliance in honing leadership skills. She creates team cohesion while instilling solid leadership principles useful both professionally and personally.

Terry Slinde, Certified SAOL Consultant
Terry did an amazing job of unifying our new leadership team. Using DiSC, we now understand our own and others’ leadership traits creating a more solid foundation to work together. Terry also helped us identify and address critical pain points based on his years of experience with the challenges facing nonprofits.

Kurt Weingand, Certified SAOL Consultant
Kurt Weingand recently facilitated a three-session workshop with one of our veterinary teams. As part of these sessions, Kurt helped team members identify strengths and opportunities; DiSC profiles for enhanced communication; and specific communication issues for exploration. Kurt met with organizational leadership to discuss results and next steps for team effectiveness. We fully believe that execution of next steps will result in significant and substantive measurable improvements in team dynamics and overall team impact.

Kimberle Seale, Certified SAOL Consultant
Kim Seale has made a difference in the training we provide for new supervisors at Child Advocates. We participated in her leadership training that included the DiSC profile and Team Assessments. Ms. Seale’s debrief was thoughtful, valuable and perceptive as she led the group through their own profiles and where their newfound knowledge would assist them in improved communications with their teams and their own supervisor. I believe the three-pronged approach of behavior profile, team assessment and emotional intelligence quotient bring a deeper understanding of communication and leadership to our staff. I want to bring Ms. Seale’s expertise to our entire staff!

Jeff Williamson, Certified SAOL Consultant
Jeff’s direction in helping us formulate a plan for “The Bridge Teen Center 2.0” has been instrumental in helping us, as the organization’s founder, develop a clear picture of what the future might hold. We are both encouraged and no longer feel overwhelmed thanks to the steps Jeff helped us lay out.

Jessica D. Cortez, Ph.D., Certified SAOL Consultant
Jessica worked very closely with our board and provided future direction for the foundation. We expect to discuss this further at our January 16, 2021 planning meeting with the expectations to move forward with many of her recommendations.
I was especially impressed with her ability to support our cause as she quickly understood our vision and mission. Once again this was not an easy task as assembling the board during the recent pandemic was not an easy task. There were times that our president was not available and not easy to work with. We found her attitude to be friendly but her professionalism to be supportive and disciplined. Since we are working hard to increase our grants to other non-profits in the community, Jessica was able to wade through all of this and work closely with all to accomplish this important task.
I would highly recommend Jessica for future senior level assignments. I will also recommend her to my client base if and when opportunities would present themselves. Companies utilizing Jessica would not be disappointed with her efforts in her areas of expertise. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or need additional recommendations. Sincerely,
Michael D. Bevis
