Our Clients Speak Out

“Manfred earned my respect for his abilities as a coach the very first time we met. As a coach, Manfred skillfully navigates the difficult challenges of leadership, listens well to the needs and wants of his clients, and draws those working with him into a broader way of thinking. I will continue to offer a high recommendation for him to anyone interested in growing themselves and the people they lead.”

“I’ve known Manfred as a professional colleague for about 6 years. He has repeatedly proven himself to be a consummate professional, an outstanding coach, and a lifelong learner. Manfred brings his vast business experience and natural curiosity to bear for his clients, which results in incisive questions and valuable insight to help them achieve their objectives. It is a pleasure and an honor to have Manfred as a colleague and a friend.”
Mark Green, Founder and President, Performance Dynamics Group, LLC


“Manfred has been a tremendous asset to our executive team. Through a very well organized and systematic approach to leadership development, both my division and our executive team as a whole are speaking a different language when it comes to goal setting, time management, and the typical daily struggles of work/personal life balance. I highly recommend his involvement in any organization looking for results through its human capital.”

“Every once in a while someone comes along that just “knocks your socks off” when you least expect it. That has been my experience with Manfred. Manfred’s ability to both separate and distill the “critical few” from the “trivial many” is a gift that can benefit you and your organization. Every time I see Manfred in action, he keeps getting better and better! You’d be nuts not to take advantage of his perspective!”
Doug Brown, CAIA, CBC, CDIA, CVIA, Chairman/CEO, Paradigm Associates, LLC


“Manfred is a coach capable of drawing thought and creativity to the surface while intently listening to you. Manfred teaches the material, but will also challenge and inspire you beyond the words on the page. I highly recommend him to professionals and friends.”

“Manfred has been invaluable to me as I go through the process of “reengineering” my business. He has patiently guided me through rewriting my vision, reexamining my core values and analyzing my target market. As a result I was able to take a “leap” and repackage my business to become “Business Builders WorldWide”. Thank you Manfred for your patience, knowledge and expertise as you accompany me on this journey.”

He has the ability to cut through all of the disorganization and dysfunction of an individual, office or company and work with the parties to develop strategies and behaviors to help them not only better identify and articulate, but also achieve their goals.”
Meredith Noon, Attorney/Owner, Noon and Hammett, LLC

“Manfred Gollent was a pleasure to work. His ability to guide a group of sales people remotely over the phone for 3 months was a task in itself. He was organized, professional, detailed and his implementation of his sales program was excellent. I would absolutely recommend his services in the future.”

“We have just completed two projects with Manfred’s guidance. The first was a program for one of our group leaders within our firm. We have seen great benefits from the organizational skills he worked thru with her. Secondly, I personally benefited from my time with Manfred in helping me focus on the important things I need to be doing.”

“As a privately held business owner, the daily challenges of wearing many different hats can be taxing. Manfred has delivered exceptional value to our organization. He has lead me through many thought-provoking processes that I otherwise would not have had the ability to self diagnosis. This provides a simple clarity of living a purposeful life through my professional career while staying accountable to our firm’s core values. Manfred would definitely enhance and drastically improve measurable results by being involved with the long term success of any organization”

“Manfred’s knowledge, respect for others and managerial style is second to none. During the time I worked with Manfred, I learned a great deal from this man. I experienced firsthand what it was like to work with a true leader. Manfred always looks for ways to improve a situation, product, or service. He is a person who is willing to listen to ideas and adapt to change if change will make conditions better. Manfred is enthusiastic and confident. He is a leader who thinks analytically and is committed to excellence. In my short time with Manfred, I learned that being a leader is much more than just being in charge.”
Derrill Hiott, EHS Manager, Eaton Hydraulics


“Manfred taught me how think positive on a daily basis, and to stay focused with my business plan; this has helped me grow my business by 88% the past 6 months!”
Kirt Borcherts, Regional Director, Mint Condition, Inc.

“We hired Manfred on 3 different occasions to work with various members of our Senior Management team as they grew into positions of leadership. The transformation over a 12 week period led to a tremendous increase in mentoring / coaching employees, increased revenues for all divisions as a result of better leadership, and an increase in confidence for each of the management team members.”

Steve Hall


“Manfred provided sales process and time management training for some of our remote sales team. Manfred conducted 2 sessions on location and 12 sessions via conference call (as the sales team was spread across the US). The content was very complete and it was delivered in a professional and engaging manner. Manfred was able to get all trainees to “buy into” the program and participate actively. I was able to see improved sales process planning which led to increased sales during the sales training period. Additionally, I noticed more “deep thinking” by the trainees relating to both the sales process and time management. Initially I had some concerns about conducting most of the course via conference calls, but Manfred was able to deal with all complexities and work schedules that allowed the sales team to remain in the field yet be fully engaged in the training program. I would highly recommend Manfred to any business leader looking to improve the productivity of his/her sales team!”

“Manfred is highly motivated in his profession and drives results through accountability.”
Rusty Cagle, President/Founder, ASE Wealth Advisors


“I have had the opportunity to watch Manfred interact at two separate social events in the past month. In both cases, as he entered the room there were a whole host of individuals waiting to start a conversation with Manfred. Manfred is a gentleman that brings many years of experience to the table. Most folks in the field of consulting/executive coach are really just people in transition (parking lot consults). A parking lot consulting is easily defined; someone who showed up to work one-day, not allowed in the building, so they hang out in the parking lot as a consultant but as soon as that next bus comes along, their on board. Manfred is the direct opposite, he chose this profession and brings to the table and incredible amount of real-life experience, and true passion to the table. I strongly suggest if you have not done so yet reach out to Manfred and get to know this incredible individual. Thomas W Parry http://thomaswparry.com

“Working with Manfred has brought me great insight regarding my abilities and skills, as well as my potential. It’s been rather invigorating to have someone who is so honest with me in his efforts to see me grow as a professional and an individual. I cannot say enough about the level of professionalism he brings to the table. I would not hesitate to recommend Manfred as a person or his services to anyone!”

“Hard to say enough positive about Manfred’s work with our company. I have found his training invaluable. Manfred has helped us find ways to get our leadership team to work together as one unit. We were good at working together. Manfred’s coaching has helped me personally find ways to work smarter and manage multiple projects with multiple people.

“I feel confident in making this recommendation for Manfred. My experience was refreshing, creative and was filled with value. I am confident you can count on the results and know you are dealing with someone very skilled who operates with integrity. It was a pleasure connecting with Manfred. All the best for your future endeavors.”
Surya Ray®™, Manager – Marketing & Business Development


“I would highly recommend Manfred to anyone that wants to improve themselves personally and professionally or that would like to improve their business. In the past year, I have used Manfred for: – Executive Coaching for myself – Coaching for the Leadership Team in my business – Business Strategy Development for my company. As a result, my business has changed for the better in many ways. My team is more focused and I now have the tools that I need to take my company to the next level. I think without Manfred’s guidance, getting through this economic climate would have been much more challenging. If you are serious about what you are doing and where you are going, you should contact Manfred today and he will show you how to get there in a much simpler way. If you are not sure of where you are going, you need to call right now.”

“Manfred’s trained a group of our folks on Customer Loyalty as his first assignment. He then led a group of our employees in Leadership and Management Training. We’ve now engaged him to coach several of our leadership. Manfred’s “real world” experience makes him effective in relating and communicating to our team. Manfred has adapted quite well and has been very flexible in accommodating the “unique” AEC environment.”
