David Wensley - President - TeqhniQuip Corporation
I have been fortunate enough to have been able to enjoy the support of many advisors and mentors over the years – yet none of these other advisors has guided me to think as deeply about certain issues as Hal. Unlike most of his peers, Hal is not singularly focused on helping you achieve a particular business outcome or training you to deploy a new method. Instead the main way he adds value is to help ensure that you consider a broad range of the holistic aspects of each issue. It’s been less about tweaking profit forecasts and organization charts, and more about reframing business issues in new ways. Hal is much more about the “why” than the “how,” which is frequently the better question to consider – and, in all cases, the better one to start with. He does not shy away from bringing up the elephant in the room – the long-standing behavior, relationship, or belief that should be challenged but has not been because doing so can be uncomfortable. For these reasons and others, Hal’s unique approach to advising and mentoring has created incredible value for me.

Hal was my Vistage group chair for about a year. He is someone I look up to immensely and always gives amazing advice. He’s thoughtful, introspective and incredibly intelligent. His impressive experience as a CEO running several successful companies gives him perspective and wisdom to draw from in helping other executives succeed. He doesn’t give you all the answers though, rather he uses a coaching methodology to help you get to the answers and solutions on your own first. Hal is an A player in my book!

I highly recommend Hal. I've been a member of his Vistage groupfor many years now. He brings unique and helpful insights to ourgroup and facilitates great discussions among the members. I'velearned a lot from him. Other than his poor taste in sports teams(from Kansas City), I cannot say enough good things about Hal.
