Mentoring with Doug Lawrence has been inspiring. He has such a natural ability to forge a trusting relationship that I feel extremely comfortable with him. He's helped me believe in myself; both
as an aspiring HR professional and a future leader. I have gained so much confidence talking
with Doug. He pushes me to think deeper and smarter and I feel more confident starting my HR
career because of him. He inspires others to lead, creating future talent in a time leadership
talent is lacking globally. He puts so much time and effort into his program and his mentees
that his passion shines and you can't help but take notice of his work. I enjoy learning from his
years of experience. Doug taught me the importance of "us" and "we “language and it has
become a habit to speak like that in my day to day life. It has helped me build relationships both
personal and professional.
I've become so much more aware of how important mentoring is and he has given me the tools
to practice mentoring in my own life. I also like that our sessions together are a two way street;
we both learn from each other, it has been rewarding. A mentoring experience with Doug will
make you think, will teach you how to be more self-reliant and confident as well as teaching
you how to build strong, trusting relationships with others. It’s valuable for all aspects of your
life.

Client Testimonial for Dr. Stephen Hobbs:
Strategy & Culture - Merger & Acquisition
Over the past eight years Cervus Equipment Corporation has been acquiring business-to-business equipment dealerships growing from fifteen to seventy-two locations across three countries. Each of the business acquired have ranged from one location to as many as twelve locations with up to three hundred and fifty employees.
As can be imagined the integration, aligning of Cultures, Operations and Strategy of these very diverse organizations has been an immense challenge. In the early days our ability to align the organizations was greatly hampered by our lack of experience and confidence in our own organization. We could see as an organization that the longer we struggled with misalignment of Culture’s and Strategies the more we were losing value and over stressing the system.
Upon some serious internal review and soul searching we decided to embark on a journey to build an Acquisition and Integration Model and support practices that would be second to none. Our goal was to create a set of repeatable processes that would support rapid execution of Integration, Cultural Identification and Clarity and development of the New Business Unit Strategy aligned with the Cervus of Tomorrow Vision. If we could accomplish this we would greatly improve the Time to Value on new acquisitions and greatly improve our ability to support rapid growth. Both becoming exceptional competitive advantages and defining core competencies of our team.
We started down this development path in 2011 by documenting all of our current process, reviewing past success and failures and reaching out to find specialized resources and experts. This is when we were introduced to Dr. Stephen Hobbs and the EX2 - TRIPIS Technique and Tools.
Stephen’s program and thinking was the catalyst to the exceptional success we have today. Leading us on a journey, Stephen’s process created a safe environment for the newly acquired team and the Cervus team to discuss the current realities of the culture, the business and the obstacles to reaching the Cervus of Tomorrow Vision. On the Journey we were able to create a set of celebrated mutual cultural attributes, a plan to enhance current successes and improve on the current business challenges. This work resulted in the development of our mutually agreed Five Year Strategy.
In each of the acquisitions where Stephen's TRIPIS program was used we have seen the integration time line significantly reduced along with cultural alignment and financial performance well beyond our expectations.
Without hesitation I would recommend Dr. Stephen Hobbs as a partner in any Cultural & Strategy work. His effectiveness, thinking, facilitation skills and integrity are exceptional.
