Conflicts are only opportunities to develop a relationship further. You decide how to proceed. The leadership training will show you how.

The team at Giombetti Associates has been one of the best support firms I’ve had the pleasure in developing a strategic partnership within 30+ years of global leadership experience.
—Bob Garde, President: Magnetic Seal Corporation

The team at Giombetti Associates has been one of the best support firms I’ve had the pleasure in developing a strategic partnership within 30+ years of global leadership experience. The high-performance persona of Giombetti Associates is noticeably apparent at the very start with Ross’ high energy and no bull$#@% approach to providing accurate, honest, and meaningful feedback regardless of the situation; creating an authentic and trusting relationship Day 1…
Ross and the team have been instrumental in effectively assessing our personnel for continued internal development along with becoming a key aspect to our Company’s talent acquisition. Everyone at Giombetti Associates is a solid individual as well an expert in their field and very much unlike most other agencies and/or consultants; they all effortlessly become an extension to your organization from their candid style and positive attitude during every engagement. They clearly model and instill the culture they strive for every organization who embarks upon a relationship with Giombetti Associates.
Additionally, I experienced one of the best developmental sessions when attending their Leadership Training in 2018. As with all MagSeal Management Team members who have also participated within this three day Leadership Training, upon our return to the office we strongly noted this workshop as being one of the most impactful developmental sessions and very worthy of the time spent off site/away for their own enrichment. The designed curriculum and structure alone provide insight for individual growth while the presentation of the content clearly drives home valuable substance for personal acceptance and positive change.
I always look forward to having a conversation with anyone within Giombetti Associates since it always feels like you’re talking with family. I can only hope Ross and his team will continue to expand their services for other aspects of team acquisition, personal coaching, and organizational training & development!

My experience shows through in my everyday life. I came to realize my patience level was beneficial in school during group projects, and that I needed to strengthen my dominance to assert my needs. Overall, this program has given me skills and valuable lessons that brought me to the success I have today.

We have used the Giombetti pre-employment assessment and Leadership Development classes for our management positions for several years.
—Kelly Turley, SVP Operations & Administration: W.W. Williams

We have used the Giombetti pre-employment assessment and Leadership Development classes for our management positions for several years. The assessment is so simple yet so accurate, I am always astonished at how deeply they can understand a person by having them answer just a few questions. The feedback sessions are probing, educational and most important, supportive. The assessment provides invaluable information that helps put the right person in their best role so both they and the organization see success. It is also a great tool for leaders/coaches to help guide and develop their team members, building on each person’s individual strengths. The Leadership Development classes get high marks from those who attend. They create a fun and safe environment to look inward, everyone leaves with skills to help them be a better person, co-worker, coach, leader.

It will absolutely have an impact on my leadership style, but also my personal style. A lot of the concepts and ideas cross all facets of my life.
—Dustin Marshall, Operations Lead: IGS Energy

It will absolutely have an impact on my leadership style, but also my personal style. A lot of the concepts and ideas cross all facets of my life. The personal development will have a positive impact to my personal and professional life. I am learning that when I am mindful of my opportunities, I am identifying when they kick in and am trying different approaches and seeing different results.
It has been awesome to see this influence my day to day. I find myself thinking about my go to action or the actions of my teammates. Not from the aspect of right or wrong, but from a place of understanding mine/their strengths and go-to responses. It has influenced my thought process in that moment, but also opened my “judgement” in those situations.

Sometimes it takes someone you know and trust to figuratively smack you across the face to “wake you up” and make you realize your personal weaknesses are affecting your level of overall success.

Sometimes it takes someone you know and trust to figuratively smack you across the face to “wake you up” and make you realize your personal weaknesses are affecting your level of overall success. That’s what Ross did for me one day right as I started down a path to lead our family business. Five years later, he has proved to be more of a life coach than anything, which helped me in my personal relations and in turn allowed me to better succeed as a leader in our company. Without Ross, it is clear that my personal and professional relationships would not be as strong as they are today and for that I am forever indebted to him and his team.

Working with Giombetti Associates has been a game-changer for us at Auxo Investment Partners. Their ability to assess executive candidates goes far beyond traditional evaluations—they have an uncanny accuracy in predicting not just a candidate’s strengths, but also their quirks and potential pressure points. That level of insight has been invaluable as we assess not only how someone will fit into the fabric of a company’s culture, but also how they’ll perform given the company’s specific stage in its investment lifecycle.
What sets Giombetti apart is their holistic view of fit. They enable us to think strategically about how a candidate will align with the needs of the management team, the board, and our partnership dynamic as investors. It’s not just about ticking boxes on experience or credentials—they help us anticipate how an individual will influence, lead, and integrate into a complex organizational ecosystem.
We trust them deeply and view them as an essential partner in our investment and leadership decision-making process.

I’m normally not a fan of the management and team building processes or classes that I’ve taken in the past—they tend to fall on the cookie cutter side where the same one or two solutions fit everyone and generally these classes are a waste of time. I feel the approach you take is much more tailored to the individual and group and therefore much more beneficial to everyone involved.
—Paul Leanza, Director: Interstate Gas Supply, Inc.

As a leader in my organization, I have been entrusted with many responsibilities; however, nothing I do is more important than hiring and developing people. The assessment tools (Pre-Employment Assessments, Performance Dynamics, 360◦ Review and Leadership Development Training) provided by Giombetti Associates enable me to make better-informed decisions with respect to acquiring talent; while simultaneously delivering important insight to facilitate talent development.
The founder of Giombetti Associates, Rick Giombetti, once told me that “Leadership is a team sport.” Fortunately, the tools utilized by Giombetti Associates have created a win-win situation for their clients and their associates.

Great feedback from personality profiles! Profiles reflect your own primary and secondary characteristics that define leadership. Once brought to a quantitative level, you are visually able to see your areas of opportunity, as well as areas which require work to be more effective at your job.

W.F. Young, Inc. has worked with Giombetti Associates for more than 17 years. We have every employee go through the process at least once when they start with the company and many go through multiple times as they develop within the company or need some additional guidance in their career.

W.F. Young, Inc. has worked with Giombetti Associates for more than 17 years. We have every employee go through the process at least once when they start with the company and many go through multiple times as they develop within the company or need some additional guidance in their career.
We find the information to be valuable for the company, helping to understand the employees, knowing what motivates them, how much or little information they need to do their work and how to best match up teams, just to name a few. However, the biggest benefit, I believe, is for the employees themselves – most come into the company without ever having done much self-reflection.
It is incredibly empowering to understand your own make-up and get a sense of who you are and how you approach your life and work. I have personally been through the assessment multiple times and I continue to learn and figure out how to enhance the areas that are helping me develop, and working with the team at Giombetti, better manage those traits that are maybe preventing me from growing both personally and professionally.
