PCA By The Numbers

Through the years we have found few tools as objective and as effective as the Kirkpatrick model. Using the four outlined areas has helped to quantify the impact our training has made in a variety of organizations over the years. Below we illustrate the impact of our training as defined in the 4 levels of the evaluation model. The tools we have developed to support the training and development are aligned to measurable outcomes. Conceptually, we believe our training is designed for maximum impact.

Impact – What Our Clients Say

“One of the most informative and enjoyable training sessions I have attended in a long time. I wish we would have found you all before we spent time and money with other organizations.”

Dr. Diane McDaniel, Indiana Wesleyan University

“My staff utilized this opportunity to grow as a team and gain a greater trust among the students they serve every day.”

Dr. Donis Toler, Dublin City Schools

“Understanding the components of trust has helped us tremendously.”

Chief, North Manchester Indiana P.D.

“Since the training, we have overcome barriers of distrust that we hadn’t even recognized before.”

Captain, Fishers, Indiana P.D.

“We have worked with BoB Ross for at least ten years. He oversees many of our training programs to help our people pick up many of the soft skills they need to function and grow in our organization. I can say that their programs have had a huge impact, with as many as 3,000 people going through their training. They continue to successfully replenish an aging workforce.”

Division Chief, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)

“The kind of leadership training that BoB’s organization brings is sorely lacking in law enforcement. They teach that each officer is chosen and selected—you are accountable for your decisions. You must be an innovator, taking ownership in your work and in your organization.”

Chief Mike Brickner (Ret.), Valparaiso Indiana P.D.

“We have had more than 100 people go through BoB Ross’s leadership programs. He has helped prepare our officers for real leadership. They learn how to communicate more effectively, to be open minded and work well with others who might approach things differently. He is down to earth and truly makes you want to learn and improve.”

Captain Dave Hecklinski, South Bend Indiana P.D

“If we are going to ask our people to take on more responsibility within our department and community, we need to train them accordingly. Yet it’s amazing that so many departments don’t do this. BoB Ross’s leadership programs have been a staple for all our command people. Through it they learn so much about planning, allocation of resources, dealing with media, and recognizing people in the organization and leading them. I hold BoB in high regard and I think he does a great job.”

Chief Steve Poiry, New Haven Indiana P.D.

“The collaborative leadership training model used in the PSLI Series helps to transform organizations and motivate communities.”

Alex Huskey, Ivy Tech Community College

“I credit you, Lance, and Big BoB (along with all the other instructors) for helping me get the promotion. PSLI is a great program that greatly expanded my knowledge and abilities.”

Bryan Sauer, Lieutenant, Zionsville P.D.
