What Our Clients Are Saying

“We brought Robert and Lean Coach® in to help train our team and get them up to speed as we were looking toward the future. Robert connected with everyone, provided hands-on training, and helped the team work through a variety of real projects they were working on in the business. I would not hesitate to recommend Robert and Lean Coach®.”

Aaron D.

“I had the privilege of attending Robert's Lean Six Sigma Yellow and Green belt classes. Robert was an exceptional teacher and mentor in the program and built a comfortable learning environment for all of his students, encouraging participation and discussion. Using the training and knowledge I received from Robert, I have been able to account for roughly $2.9 million in validated annual savings with my company. This has helped me propel my career forward and given me the confidence to attack waste in my work environment and create lean processes.”

Jordan P.

“Robert's clear passion for continuous improvement is infectious and motivating. He coached a diverse group of associates through his self-designed Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt program. From this pool of students, he identified those who would continue with his Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training. This training literally changed the trajectory of my career. Armed with the tools that Robert taught me in an easy-to-understand way, I completed a successful Kaizen with my training group, which resulted in significant and validated savings for our company. After passing my exam, I became my organization's Regional Kaizen Promotion Officer before joining the Customer Service team. Robert's patience and understanding of the material and how to reach students where they are were invaluable in helping our entire class succeed. Robert is an inspiring leader, and I'd relish the opportunity to work with him again! Thanks, Robert, for the guidance!”
