Bob Stapleton President and Coach at Live Oak Leadership

I was lucky to have Bob coach me through a major career transition. The service he provides felt tailor made to help me both understand and evaluate my situation, and plan for my new future. He has a unique ability to guide and question in a way that allowed me to figure things out on my own and in my own time, and give myself permission to listen to my own instincts. He provided great structure, including several useful exercises, that ignited my thought process. I also appreciated his connecting my personal life with my career goals, pushing for happiness on all levels. I would use his services again and definitely recommend him to everyone!

Bob has been my coaching client, friend and colleague for three years. During that period, he led a major organizational change at Food Lion/Delhaize America at the same time that he managed some difficult transitions of his own as well. What impressed me most was how consistently he showed up as a leader capable of making tough decisions, delivering unsettling news, supporting individuals at every level of the organization as they worked through their own plans, and managing challenging relationships, all with a natural empathy and intuition. Bob made a great decision when he took the leap to start his own coaching practice. He has a gift for understanding people and a passion for supporting them in their growth. That, and his sense of humor, make him a pleasure to work with.

I had the privelige of working with Bob Stapleton in Organizational Development. Bob had a fantastic impact on the culture of Food Lion and led his responsibilities masterfully. His impact on me was significant and his coaching and advice guide me still today. Open minded, deadline oriented with a contagious energy and stamina that enrolls others and inspires them to achieve great things. His light spirit and contagious attitude will be a benefit to him no matter what he attempts. Thanks Bob!
