PUBLIC SPEAKING

“Rob Followell has significantly impacted my leadership, communication and relationship abilities as a hospital CEO.  He taught me many leadership principles, but most notably introspection.  Rob, through his coaching, was able to help me identify and understand my own purpose, vision and values as a leader and then how to apply them to get the best results.  Rob sets the bar for servant-leadership by truly putting others needs above his own.  Rob takes a genuine and engaging approach to building alignment and unity by teaching the value of diversity amongst the team.  Through Rob’s coaching and mentorship, it becomes very obvious that he values his reputation for being fair, firm and consistent while holding teams accountable for their roles in the success. “

– Jeremy W. Barclay, FACHE
Chief Executive Officer, St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center

“Working for Rob Followell was a turning point in my leadership career. Rob challenged me to search within myself for my passion and strength.
From this self- reflection I found my purpose and ultimately a vision for my career. He taught me to maximize my potential by recognizing my very own strengths.

From his example, I have carried this leadership approach forward in my career. I encourage my nurses and members of the healthcare team to
identify their passion and align their career goals accordingly. We work together to establish a professional development plan based on their passion and strengths. This is a foundational strategy for engaged and dedicated team members.

Recently one of my staff members (ED Director) said to me, “I know why you are so dedicated to us and stay until the job is done”.
I asked him why he felt so. He replied, “You love what you do and it is obvious”. This is a direct reflection of the above coaching by Rob Followell.
Discover what you love to do and you will do it well!

Be fair, firm, and consistent. Those words from Rob ring out when I am faced with a situation that may have two right answers. He encouraged
our leadership team to keep this approach when making decisions. In a dysfunctional team, you will find unfair and inconsistent practices.
If we lead with fair practices, firm decisions, and consistent messages our team will thrive.”

To whom it may concern;
 
I am writing a letter of recommendation for Rob Followell about his performance during our annual company meeting January of 2018. 
 
Rob bridged a year of drastic change for our company into a year of growth and possibilities. He told stories, made us laugh, asked questions, presented insightful healthcare industry information and statistics, and kept our group engaged during his keynote presentation. He truly made a heartfelt connection for our team to the ideas and values of servant leadership. Immense take-aways that we will use on a daily basis. I look forward to inviting Rob back for group training opportunities. 
 
Please feel free to contact me at any time to hear more. 
Sincerely,

– Michael P. Broxterman
President and C.E.O., Pinnacle Health Group

Rob Followell has amazing instincts when it comes to helping people fulfill the vision that God has for their lives.  Between his ability to help people understand their personal circumstances and connecting them with the resources they need, I would recommend him as a leadership coach to anyone.  Rob Followell is truly as “Servant Leader”
