Business Testimonials
“I find myself nearly daily sharing what I’ve learned from Bob – the ‘Yin and Yang’ of leadership; take personality out of your decision-making; the importance of systems; be effective rather than right. His counsel and insights have proven to be extremely valuable to our firm and to me. His impact has been substantial.“
Tim Pape - Lawyer & Managing Partner, Carson Boxberger, LLP, Three-time city councilman - Fort Wayne, IN"
Bob's charismatic and insightful breakdown of everything that we've been struggling with as a business was nothing short of revelatory. In the span of a two-hour meeting, Bob gave us the perspective and concrete steps to confidently tackle what we had been ineffectually circling around for months. His super power is empowering you.”
Andy Crouch - Director of Education, The Hideout Theatre - Austin, TX
"We’ve been working with Bob for 6 months and he has single-handedly guided us through these rough waters and we are still on this journey. Bob has an incredibly unique gift to read the label from outside the bottle and immediately find areas of the company that stand to be improved through systems, procedures, policies and even good old-fashioned leadership.
I’m floored by Bob’s rogue sage intuition each time we meet with him and how he is able to be the game-changer for our small firm in each and every retreat we do with him. As we celebrate 10 years, we are very lucky to have Bob’s guidance in helping us to exceed our wildest imaginations in this next 10 years!”

"When I hired Bob Olmstead, I thought I was hiring him to 'fix' problematic employees. Instead, he became my mentor and my company's warrior. I learned how to be a centered and effective CEO of a fast growing company. Under his guidance, P&P became the firm I could only dream about before working with him."
Leann Phenix - Entrepreneur and Former Award Winning Publicist
"In business, it's hard to find a consultant that is able to immediately get to the real issues, giving you advice that is truly in the best interest of your company. As well, he executes his counsel in a way that is humanistic and authentic. Bob is that rare person that has the ability to quickly find aspects of your business that need improvement, even if it's areas that you thought were perfectly fine. He found those areas in my business and in a short period of time, made an immeasurable difference in my effectiveness as an owner. His emphasis on governance and working through others, was particularly powerful for me.
Bob guided me in a way that gave me the tools to not just improve in the short-term, but to build a foundation for my business and its leadership, skills that will influence my decision making for the rest of my career."
Doug Flatt - Co-owner/Vice President, Flatt's Stationers- Mexia, Texas
“Bob did an amazing job helping me figure what parts of the business needed attention. The result of one meeting with him was a clear focus and inspiration that is going to motivate us and fuel everything we do for the next 6 months. I couldn't recommend working with him enough. It's always good to have someone with outside perspective ask the tough questions and that's exactly what Bob did for us.”
Kareem Badr, Improviser - Actor, Teacher, Owner, The Hideout Theatre - Austin, TX
“At a pivotal point in my career, I was fortunate to work with Bob in his capacity as a mentor, coach, and accountability partner. Spanning tactical approaches to emotional space, I have been able to grow exponentially during our time together, both personally and professionally. I have deeply learned and developed devices for achievement and decision-making, and I am sincerely excited about how our relationship will positively impact my success today and going forward.”
