Robert Hargrove is a world-renowned, revolutionary thought leader in the field of talent development and executive coaching. His motto is Better Leaders, Better World and he believes that coaching leaders to create "impossible" futures is the fastest, most powerful way to do both.

Hargrove is the founder of Masterful Coaching and served as a Director of the Harvard Leadership Research Project. He has had the privilege of coaching presidential appointees, Fortune 500 CEOs, and other executives to rewrite their future and their organization`s future, while transforming their lives in the process.

Hargrove has also been awarded for Distinguished Public Service by the United States Government for his coaching work with political leaders.

"Robert has the ability to both dramatically impact people and impact business results. His coaching is a big part of my success."

Robert put coaching on the map with his landmark book Masterful Coaching a decade ago and now in its 3rd edition. It has been adopted by 90% of the leading universities that teach coaching and has inspired tens of thousands of people around the world.

Hargrove`s clients have risen to such prominent positions as Under Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, and European CEO of the Year. In 2012, a client was voted #1 Fortune 500 Mid-Cap CEO after increasing stock price 400%. Another client was recognized in the WSJ, "The impact of his leadership on the company has been totally transformational."

Robert has worked as an executive`s consigliore in over 100 different industries, over three decades, on almost ever conceivable leadership or business issue. This allows him to help clients grasp the forces and factors impacting their situation, connect the dots and come up with inventive and effective strategies.

Robert says that coaching is a new domain with the power to make traditional consulting and training irrelevant. It is not that these traditions aren`t of value; it is that they are insufficient given the fact that... "We are in a brawl without rules."

"When people get involved in a masterful coaching relationship, it is extraordinary," says one executive, "so extraordinary, it`s unbelievable."

Hargrove`s coaching approach is one of the only methods which delivers real ROI. According to one client, "We pretty much stuck with the Masterful Coaching approach and it made the company hundreds of millions of dollars."

"Hargrove has the ability to present ideas in a way that touches people with new possibilities, extricating them from the reality in which they have been lodged."
-Jeff Speller, Founder, Harvard Leadership Research Project
