Schedule a 30 min call with Robert Hargrove at no charge
Note from Robert:
If you are a CEO, Founder, Entrepreneur, or Executive who wants to become a legendary leader and create an extraordinary business or organization, I will do a 45-minute call on a big goal or problem you are facing at no charge.
It is my intention that it be a transformational conversation, not merely an informational one. At the end of the call, you can decide whether working together makes sense. No pressure.
If we don’t work together, we can still be friends. And if we do decide to work together, it is my goal to create great things together!
I look forward to speaking with you!
I’d like to make you an irresistable offer…
If you and I decide to have a coaching relationship, I basically only charge for 2 calls a month from 30-60 minutes each. Yet I also provide a lot more.
I’m a lifelong friendship that is real, not fake. Each of my clients considers me as a very close friend whom they can count on through thick and thin.
I bring something to the table that few in the world can bring based on coaching CEOs and executives of Nike, Google, JP Morgan, etc.
I provide direct access to me by Zoom or phone 24/7 for a coaching or thinking partner call to help you reach your goals and solve complex problems.
You and I will engage in transformative conversations that are life-altering not just informative conversations.
You can reach out to me and I will reply within a couple of hours (the latest within 12 hours).
I will bring the capability of doing many different masterminds at the drop of a hat for you, your team, or your customers.
I provide marketing support —5-star copywriting of an article, brochure, social media post, etc.
I will open my rolodex and connect you to the right people who can help you make your vision a reality.
When I work with someone, I come from service in whatever I do.

Starting a new executive job? Our first 100-day coaching will make it a launch pad for your success.
Because the situation that each person is walking into is going to be different, we work with you to implement these strategies in real time.
Some of the questions we will look at are:
How will you establish a long-term vision or ennobling purpose that inspires sacrifice?
How will you win the board over to your strategic priorities so they are a tailwind at your back vs. a headwind in your face?
What early wins can you score that will build political capital, credibility, and momentum?
