"Psychological testing is a valuable tool that has been
used by a number of highly successful sports teams. After careful
consideration, I decided to engage Art Hobba and his company,
Transcende, to help us with the testing for both the Coaching staff
and the athletes. The data that we have gathered has added deep
insight into better understanding what makes each athlete tick
mentally and emotionally and help us optimize their alignment to
their positions. I believe that this information will help us to
build trust and become a stronger team. We will also be using Art to
lead us through some team building and Principle Based Leadership
workshop that will better prepare us for the Olympic Games in
Beijing."
- Dr. Terry Schroeder, Head Coach Men's 2008 USA Water Polo Team,
2 time Silver Medalist and 4 time Olympian
“Art's expertise and wisdom combined with high integrity has and continues
to consistently deliver great results organizationally and to me personally.
He is a fantastic mentor and coach. He helped me grow in ways that I knew I
could, I just didn't know how. I will continue to go to Art to help me grow
my business and most importantly me as well.”
- Marc Swirsky, President Great American Group, M&E
“Our values are what drive our decisions, ethical or otherwise. Values are also the most difficult of all human faculties to change as they are so keyed into our personality. That is why, after experiencing PBeCoaching personally, I feel that this may be one important tool to help strengthen specific values in an individual and thus have a positive impact on personal ethical decisionmaking in the
future.”
- Bruce Gillies, PhD. Cal Lutheran University School of Business, Organizational Development
"PBeCoaching has the horsepower to help others be their best by helping them understand more about themselves and learn to maximize their strengths in a rich, yet cost effective way. The system and process used produces surprising positive
results."
- Nadine Rothermel, Manager Global Learning and Leadership Development, Agilent
“We implemented PBeCoaching across the board for our Key Executive Group which is dispersed in Europe, Mexico and the U.S. Over 90% reported that they experienced significant personal and professional growth through the experience of using PBeCoaching over a period of 6 months with only a 1 hour per week investment in time. All of them noted that their sense of self awareness was significantly higher and said that they are better leaders of their teams because of this tool. We look forward to using PBeCoaching for our next
class.”
- Sandra Ortiz, Director of Human Resources Jafra Cosmetics
"We have struggled to find a development program, other than expensive academic degrees and informal mentoring, that can help develop our professionals in their leadership and people skills. We currently offer the PBeCoaching tool to all civilian and sworn supervisors and managers but plan to deploy it to deputies and senior deputies to help develop both supervisory skills and departmental
values."
- Sheriff Bob Brooks, Chief Law Enforcement Officer Ventura County, California
“After a review of PBeCoaching, we are pleased to offer this unique leadership and career development tool to our students, alumni, and the organizations they work for.

technology.”

“Art Hobba’s message on Values Based Selling was fantastic! We engaged him to be our keynote speaker at our 2006 sales meeting to speak to our Business Development professionals (Agents) and senior management team. Art taught us and inspired us at the same time…with a clear message, laced with irrefutable facts about how honesty and trust building with our prospects and clients can win and keep clients for life. Everyone, including our CEO Mark Wheatman, raved at the quality and refreshing nature of his message. When we heard Art say it…it seemed so new yet it resonated deep down inside me as being so true all along. He articulated what we knew deep in our hearts. Art presents a striking and energetic figure and can definitely fill a room and I highly recommend him to any sales or leadership oriented
audience”.
- Diana Javorek, VP of Operations, Wheatman Insurance
"I'm impressed with your (Art's) sales skills and your personal depth. You made some impactful comments from the platform and I (along with others) was inspired by your
ideas."

“We were suffering from some critical turnover in one of our
largest Divisions.and the turnover had almost crippled one of our
divisions. Art Hobba of Transcende was hired to provide a 'retention
audit' which included stakeholder interviews, hiring and onboarding
process assessment and confidential employee surveys. His insight
and skill in navigating some sensitive waters and their Audit Report
was very helpful in giving us an outside expert perspective on how
to make critical adjustments to these and other factors in our
workplace and retention has increased dramatically! An additional
benefit was significant reduction of risk as well. I would highly
recommend Transcende to any firm that is seeking to lift employee
retention and performance to the next level”
-Paul Erickson, CFO Great American Group
“Wow, this is almost scary how accurate and in depth this overview can be from 1 simple test. Amazing also when what you feel is a good character trait, can also be a weakness. I am
impressed.”
- Jonnie L. Sawyer, Human Resource Manager Pathway Diagnostics
"I'm working on self-management (in my PBeCoaching tool) and boy you were
not kidding when you said the journaling would be a bit gut wrenching.
However, that is where the real change takes place, right?"
