Testimonials
‘Thorough knowledge’ … ‘expert in his field’ … ‘considered my welfare’
Consumer Products Company CEO: “Working with Joe from the time I first thought about relocating my business from California to Colorado, until the announcement to my personnel, was a great experience. Not only was his knowledge of relocating incredibly thorough, but his communications coaching for my announcement and meetings with my personnel was excellent. If you are considering a move of your business, you must work with Joe. It is hard to put a price tag on the peace of mind and expertise Joe will provide you as you navigate through the tough process of relocating your business.” – Kyle Hansen, President, Outward Hound, Centennial, Colorado.
Google: “I’ve had the good fortune to work with Joe on a project and while it is confidential, my endorsement is not. I found working with Joe to be a rewarding experience and one I’d repeat again. He added value by blending coaching and consulting in a way that kept the focus on my highest priorities. He helped to bring objectivity to the project and to facilitate communications during a less-than-predictable set of circumstances. Our analysis and actions were concentrated in various ways — sometimes on broad, strategic questions and other times on specific details, all of which contributed to meeting project goals. Also, in a late phase of the project he volunteered to step out of the picture, saying candidly, ‘Things are going so well you don’t need me anymore.’ That act is a testament to his credibility. I highly recommend Joe, and given the chance to work with him again, I’d do so happily.” – Robert J. Cocks, Global Head of Inside Sales, Engineering, Value Engineering and SE Programs.
International Relocation Co. VP-IT: “Joe was my coach and we worked on my presentation before my company’s top fifty-five relocation customers from around the world. It went over so well that the Sales Department asked me to join them in pitches to potential customers. Not bad for an IT guy!” (Name withheld by request), Paragon Relocation Services, Rancho Santa Margarita, California.
Credit Union SVP: “Joe Vranich is a premier expert in his field. His expertise in data gathering combined with his knowledge of areas to relocate to (and not to) around the United States proved to be quite valuable to our company. In addition, Joe is a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for relocation advice/services, Joe should be your go to!” – Maaike Jacobsen, SVP-HR, Western Federal Credit Union (now UNIFY Financial Credit Union), Hawthorne, California.
Career Coaching Testimonial: “There is a jargon used by test-pilots – ‘ahead of the curve’ – which means they must be relaxed, confident and be completely prepared for whatever happens. Joe will put you in a place where you are ahead of the curve. Had I been graced by his services twenty years ago, my life and career would be quite different today. Joe is razor sharp, diplomatic, friendly, and warm. He is a powerful ally who cares. You owe it to yourself to contact this man, and soon.” Maurice Benzaken, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Association CEO: “Joe Vranich understands the symbiotic relationship between business and local and state government. His insights not only help businesses make important relocation decisions, but also help elected and government leaders make educated decisions on helping businesses thrive in their jurisdictions. Joe’s coaching and presentations are fortified with facts, backed up by empirical data that allow businesses and communities to understand the impact of their decisions to their bottom line and the success of their communities.” – Lacy Kelly, CEO, Association of California Cities – Orange County, California.
California Legislature: “What a speaker! I wish we could hire him to work in the governor’s office to redirect this ship before it washes upside down.” – Assemblyman Dan Logue.
Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP: “I was honored to have been invited to moderate the panel and can tell you that the response of the audience to your observations, counsel and advice was overwhelmingly positive.” – James P. Cain, U.S. Ambassador (Ret.), Raleigh, North Carolina.
National Federation of Independent Business/California: “Joseph Vranich’s research fills a void that is missing in government data, namely how many businesses are leaving California due to its hostile business climate. He is recognized by policy makers as an expert in his field. I have relied on him in the past and will do so in the future as well.” – Ken DeVore, Legislative Director, NFIB/California.
The Alternative Board: “Joe’s skills as a listener made him an invaluable resource. He helped me tap into my values and beliefs in making decisions about my future. I came to trust and rely on him as my mentor, advisor, and sounding board. His willingness to share his experience and consider my welfare while expecting me to retain accountability for my results is something that I have wanted my entire career. Thanks, Joe.” – Kevin Raum, Fairfax, Va.
