Rob Followell is truly a Servant Leader.”
– Dr. Brad Schapiro
Chief Executive Officer, Ultimate Health
“As I stepped into a new role as a CEO, I realized I needed an executive coach to assist, advise, and coach me through the transition into my new role. I accepted the CEO position weeks before the COVID-19 Pandemic changed the entire landscape of how we provide healthcare. The decision to engage with Rob for mentoring and coaching has been the best career decision I have made.
Rob has assisted me in communicating more effectively with our board and that has allowed us to move forward more strategically. He has helped our team of directors, through his Leadership Series, understand how to better communicate with one another based on each of our individual personalities. Our team has grown exponentially through this process.
Rob’s coaching and mentoring has helped me grow as a hospital administrator in a rural hospital. His experience in both health systems and rural hospitals provides a level of understanding that makes him unique for those of us leading rural hospitals and the distinct challenges we face. I highly recommend Rob as a coach and mentor. His leadership has helped me grow personally and professionally.”
