Testimonials

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.

My wife and I could not be happier with the results.  Angelina was accepted to the college of her choice and the one that is the right fit for her.  We are so excited to see what the future holds for her especially with her new level of self-awareness.  On a scale of 1 to 10, the process/experience was an 11!

The Giombetti Leadership program has changed my life and helped me discover who I am. As I look back on this experience, this program helped me be a better team player, a happier person and overall a better leader in all aspects of my life. The team members create an atmosphere that allows you to improve yourself and truly discover who you are.

—Katie Acciardo

This program was the start and push that I needed when I was in high school and I still utilize many of the lessons that they taught me. Through hard work and perseverance and some GA help, I am now a wastewater engineer. I will be forever grateful for the chance to be a part of this great program and for being able to talk with them even after I graduated high school and college.

—Olivia Hicklin

The programs offered by Giombetti Associates were beneficial in both my personal life and my career in human resources. If I could have changed only one thing, it would be to have participated in this program much earlier in my life.

Giombetti’s 360 Degree Review process provides leaders with clear, actionable feedback from every angle, which is critical in fast-moving, highly collaborative environments. We use the process at Incline and across our portfolio companies to help leaders understand how they are experienced by teams, peers and stakeholders. That awareness fuels better coaching, stronger communication and teams that work together more effectively.

—April Simile, Partner: Incline Equity Partners

She listened to what my daughter’s goals were – got to really know who she was as a person and was able to set her on her best path forward – and since we are in FL, all this was done via Zoom calls – even more impressive in my opinion to make that kind of connection over zoom

—Stacey Russo, Director of Sales

Our company, particularly upper management, put a lot of stock in the Performance Dynamics® assessment. It is fast becoming a crucial criterion for selection to executive positions in our company. We are also beginning to utilize the PDA for selection of new managers, as well.

—Rick Lamb, Plant Manager: Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc.

I can remember thinking that Ross and the team were attempting to assimilate me into this perfect robot teenager, but it was not that at all. They did an amazing job of individualizing their advice to each of us. They recognized where our strengths were and found our weaknesses, but only sought to improve them. I am not perfect, and never will be. What I continue to take away from my experience with Giombetti Associates is that there is always room for improvement.

—Will Ryan

Working with Giombetti Associates, especially Ross and Bill, was an outstanding experience for our team. Their ability to help individuals understand their nature and nurture characteristics, paired with actionable development plans and SMART goals, significantly elevated both individual and team performance. As a focused, high-performing aerospace and defense company, the 360 Degree Review and our partnership with Giombetti Associates have made us more aligned, accountable and collectively more productive. I highly recommend this program to any company looking to deepen self-awareness and elevate team performance.

—Joe Feula, President : MagSeal

Ross, Rick and their team create an atmosphere of focused learning in their leadership workshop. The tool (Performance Dynamics assessment) that they have developed and refined creates a level of self-awareness that all leaders should be in tune with. They allow you to understand that you can manage that which you appreciate.

—Peter Brunault, Director of Human Resources: Williams Distributing

This program provided me valuable and honest feedback about myself that has allowed me to excel in all aspects of my life. As cliché as it sounds, this program has changed my life, and without this program, I would not be as successful as I am today.

—Kristin Rheault

Giombetti Associates helped me understand the different characteristics that made me who I was. This gave me an idea of what I needed to work on going forward to become more of a leader. Going through the program was life-changing for me and my confidence.

—Daniel Nygren

Giombetti Associates has been integral in my growth and development as a leader. The many phone calls and meetings have helped me to better understand how I can be the most effective leader where I am while continuing to work on my areas of opportunity. I recently accepted a promotion within my organization and Giombetti is a big reason why I was prepared for that opportunity. I will continue to use Giombetti as my career evolves for myself and my teams.

I am truly grateful for your team and your passion to help me (and others) get better!

—Kevin Kapostasy, Market Manager: IGS Energy

I found the whole process to be amazing and eye opening. Providing such useful & personalized information in a non-threatening environment was great.  All the information was presented with just the right balance of humor and tact.  For anyone who is serious about being the best leader they can be, I recommend this program. The folks from Giombetti Associates provided support and guidance the whole way through resulting in a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this leadership program.

—David Betrune, Executive Director: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hampden County/Hartsprings Foundation

We have been working with Giombetti Associates for the past eight years partnering with them both on candidate selection and development. The candidate selection process provides us a deeper level of evaluation of each candidate and insight into how the candidate may perform and behave. The assessment results enhance our ability to dig in deeper to ensure we are selecting the right candidate for the role. In addition, the Giombetti team has become an important part in the continued development of our people.

We work with Ross and Amanda to understand the potential of each person and to determine how to manage and guide them through their individual development needs. Our employees appreciate the feedback, even though it is tough at times. This feedback allows them to become more self-aware of their tendencies and behaviors and adjust accordingly.

Giombetti has also been instrumental in teambuilding within our business and facilitates sessions focused on team dynamics and performance. This provides the atmosphere for people to have raw conversations, get to know each other on a deeper level and increase trust and respect. Giombetti has been a great partner to IGS and an asset to our people.

—Jenni Kovach, Chief People Officer: IGS Energy

We cannot thank her enough for the amazing support she has provided to [my child] during this exceptionally stressful and difficult time.  As a parent, I am convinced that this experience has been one of the best gifts I could have provided.

—Michelle Pastore

I’d recommend this course for anyone in management or preparing for management or working on teams.

—Jack Kennedy, Senior Director: Biosurgery R&D, U.S. Surgical

We have worked with Giombetti Associates for close to ten years. Their Leadership Training Program has helped us prepare quite a few high-potential people for transition to leadership roles. In addition, Ross and his team have helped us learn more about ourselves through the Performance Dynamics assessments and have helped us strategize on ways to develop stronger teams throughout our organization. I’ve always found their guidance to be practical, and accurate, and more importantly, they truly care about the people they help.

—Craig Reed, CFO: All States Materials Group

Decisions such as where to go to college, what to major in, and what I would like my career to be were looming and I was feeling lost. As a young woman trying to figure all of this out while navigating relationships in high school and the working environment, I was eager for any guidance I could get. Ross and the rest of the team were incredibly friendly and approachable from the start. I quickly saw them as role models and mentors that truly cared for my future.

—Bridget Lawler

In order to effectively lead personnel, one must understand him or herself first. To me, this was the best training I’ve ever had to help one look inward, and discover one’s own management style.
