Client Testimonials
“I hired Howard in 2010 to evaluate my performance and to offer recommendations on how I could work smarter instead of harder. After a fairly in depth analysis by Howard, I was amazed at how accurately he was able to determine my goals, desires and actions. This one-to-one feedback allowed me to improve on areas of performance that I am deficient in and to focus on the key attributes that make me successful. Howard is an amazing resource for any business professional looking to fine tune their craft.” Phil Reese-Homestead Funding
“I always make progress or come up with new ideas when I talk to you! Honestly most of the time I don’t see it coming – but I always walk away with ‘something’ valuable or that makes progress that I don’t seem to get otherwise. I have continued off of our last conversation,but the breakthrough happened during the conversation. I would like to continue our sessions along the lines of strategic action and development planning. You will force me to consider people processes that I will spend less time on otherwise” David Cohen, Owner-Capital Realty Management
“Howard is a rare find among business coaches. One that has a definable, repeatable process for success, and a real passion for seeing people succeed. After starting my own business, I quickly realized I needed help determining just how I wanted my business to evolve. There were goals to set, and specific actions needed to achieve them. But, the question quickly became – which goals do I focus on,
which steps do should I take? There were so many items to consider, it was
overwhelming. Fortunately, I met Howard at networking event, and learned about his
system tailored specifically for this purpose. After hiring him, he used a concise,
systematic approach to help identify my mission, values, core strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Then Howard worked with me step
by step, to produce concrete steps for maximizing my potential in sales,
operations, time management, finance, and many other areas with tremendous results. In addition to the process, Howard also was an exceptional listener who continually offered an outside perspective. Finally, he helped me sum up what we had gone through, and I felt truly comfortable with my direction, and to-do list items. I count this experience very high on the list of reasons why my firm has been so successful, even when we are in a “down” economy. If you are looking to help separate what is critical for you and your business from all of the noise, fires, and distractions, common with running your own business, I highly recommend Howard and Measurable Results.” Mark Borst, Owner- Rampant Imaginations
“I had an opportunity to work with Howie and was really pleased with his work ethics and the way he works. I’ve learned so much in our first meeting that I had no doubt
that he will not be able to help me. He helped me get clarity for the goals, and
after finding my weaknesses he helped me and guided me to focus on my strengths and things that worked for me. I love his approach just because it shows that he cares and that he wants his clients to enjoy their work and business, rather then stress about it. I want to thank Howie for the help and think that anyone could benefit from his services.” Emina Sehovic, Owner-GripSocial
“I find that a lot of people feel like it is too late in their life to make any significant
changes. The fear of the unknown outweighs the monotony of the known. Howard
Litwak really helped me use certain strengths in my life as an anchor to change the things that I wanted to change. Howard’s assistance helped
me make changes that I assumed were out of reach. These changes have
had a positive influence on almost every aspect of my life and I would highly recommend Howard to any of my friends or colleagues.” Joe Landy, CDCLF
“I feel that I am ready for management now since we started working together early January and broke down my core attributes. That was extremely helpful because, like I learned in Leadership class, we automatically tend to work on the areas where we need self-development, not remembering to continue to work on my strengths. Ever since Feb 2009 (first full year in current role) I had “Branch Manager” on my development
plan. The only “action step” was to complete the Pathways to Leadership Pre Branch Management program. There was no specific action planning or SMART goals set for me to really get to this goal. Now I know I have to take ownership of this. After we had the opportunity to talk, you really opened my eyes to the big picture. This was a struggle for me since the corporate reorganization in 2008. I was stuck in the “old LM way” and you helped me open my eyes and talk through why things like this
happen and that I better have changed my attitude for the better or I would be
in a constant rut. I had two choices, continue to develop or continue in my current role, being mediocre. Once we took a look at my strengths too, I was
able to capitalize on this in my current role. Number one: Setting Goals for Others. Wow, that’s mainly what I do in my current role, coaching and developing new sales and service representatives. No one ever told me that LOL. So by taking your Leadership class, it prepared me for not only my own goal setting, but strengthened my current ability I never knew I was good at. With this confidence reinforcement and sharpening of this skill, I was able to take my new hires since 2011 from good to great. 8 out of 13 exceeded their goals, whether they were, x-dating goals, prospecting goals and/or sales goals. The previous year, up until July for equal benchmarking, I had 15 new hires and only 5 exceed their goals. The area manager also commented that he feels that “since January, our new hires have been better prepared and have come to
the table with better laid out marketing plans and SMART goals.”
I feel that I have excelled in my current position because now I am giving it 120%-my eyes are opened, having a supportive business coach is a necessity for everyone. It is an unbiased, honesty relationship that you may not get with working for a corporation, or even a smaller industry or non for profit.
I honestly feel and now know that I am ready for management and excited on my continued relationship with Howie as I conquer this next chapter of my career. Thanks for making a difference!” Melanie Readdean, Branch Manager-Liberty Mutual
“I had done nothing in years to improve the business and now I have done alot over the last 3 months. I’m focused now on my goals. Now I know what I’m working on and why I’m doing it. I feel that I’m constantly moving towards my goals.” Robert CEO
“The principles of this program are the basic cornerstones to my business planning. I started my practice less than a year ago and already I’m on track for meeting goals that takes some of my peers three or five years to meet. This program is a must for anyone who wants to be more effective, satisfied and happy in all areas of their lives.” Kim, Financial Services Professional CLU
“Working with Howard as a Coach helped me develop a system to focus on and achieve what was most important to me. As a result, I used my time more effectively to complete existing projects and improve my cash flow. This enabled me to focus more on new business, and I have since landed one of my largest accounts since I started my business. Thank you, Howard!” Nancy Business Owner
“As a solo entrepreneur supporting multiple clients, I understand the value and necessity of planning. Working with Howard has helped me turn a business plan into an Action Plan. I am now maximizing my strengths to increase my effectiveness in all aspects of the business and am moving confidently toward my goals.” Roz Business Owner
“Howard is insightful and an ongoing asset to my business. While working with him, I became the #1 sales person in my company out of 160. (from #6) I attribute that to Howard helping me think in positive new ways. Together we put in place a system to not only set goals but to achieve them. I would definitely recommend Howard as a Coach.” Chuck Professional Salesperson
