What Our Clients Say
We have worked with Jeff for several months now. After our first set of meetings, I came away with over 30 action items that would help improve my business.
He is very thorough and listens carefully before giving straight forward recommendations. Jeff has a lot of integrity and honesty, and I believe he truly cares about his clients. Hockenberry Management Consulting offers a lot of fundamentals that will help you grow your business.

Our business has partnered with Hockenberry Management Consulting for strategy review, management, leadership and sales training, development of a new handbook, coaching in all kinds of areas, assistance with effective meeting agendas, and so much more.

Working with Hockenberry Management Consulting is a very positive and comfortable partnering experience. They are extremely helpful in guiding and organizing strategic thinking, planning, and execution.

Hockenberry Management Consulting came recommended to my company through a mutual client. I had been in business for twenty years and wanted to make sure my next twenty would set me up for retirement.
From the first time I met Jeff, I knew he was the right fit for our company.
He came in with a very calm approach to figuring out and helping to solve our issues. That was very important for all of us involved in the process.
Jeff has shown how to focus my energy on different aspects of the business. He has taught me how to properly prioritize the strategic parts of the business, as well as the day to day operations.
Since starting to work with Jeff six years ago, our company has an entirely different look and attitude – for the better.
Jeff brings a very calming and positive attitude to the organization. He is the type that will build upon your good attributes and not focus on your negatives. For us that is the very reason we selected Jeff to help in the business.

My experience working with Hockenberry Management Consulting has been very positive. Jeff and Heather both did a great job helping us create strategic objectives that applied directly to our business.
The difference in the business has been a major one as we are now more organized and systematized in everything that we do. This has a huge impact on the amount of time we have to spend on some of the smaller more monotonous tasks and allows us to focus on the more important tasks.
​
Jeff and Heather are both detail oriented and thorough in everything they do. They took the time to really understand our business and make sure we understood the process of how to move forward.

The amount of work to make real change may seem daunting at first, but the result is very worth it. As long as you are willing to put the work in, you will see results!

Jeff has been working with our business for many years, and more recently Heather joined the team, which has resulted in a real powerhouse of support and expertise.
I had the privilege of working closely with Heather to plan an event and was impressed and thankful for her extreme attention to detail and laser-like focus which was a tremendous help to me personally, also resulting in a successful event.
She was very adept at helping us envision and develop the big picture, and then also break it down into manageable tasks. In the face of looming deadlines and significant obstacles along the way, Heather remained efficient and unflustered. In the process, I enjoyed getting to know Heather, and the time we spent together was a pleasure.
​
In several instances, Jeff and Heather have offered thoughtful insights and invaluable feedback, offering support and guidance with sensitive subjects. Both Jeff and Heather are exceptional at taking the necessary time and effort to learn about and understand our business in order to give wise counsel. Their dedication to getting to the heart of a matter to truly discern what may be best in any given situation has been irreplaceable.

If I think back to what Hockenberry Management Consulting has coached us through over the past 10 years or so, there are two things that were game changers for my firm and me.
For the firm, one of the biggest challenges was identifying and developing our ideal client way before industry leaders rolled out the term "ideal client." That has been a very successful strategic objective. Little did we know that one strategic objective would develop into many more. We continue to focus on and develop what the “ideal client” means for our organization.
​
For me personally, the greatest accomplishment I’ve achieved working with Hockenberry has been going through the process of firing myself. In fact, this is my biggest and proudest accomplishment in my entire career. I went from being a control freak to delegating everything. My story always ends with "and I don't even get any mail at the office anymore" and I’m grateful for it.
Many small business owners need to go through this process. Even though it took years to accomplish, the results have had a great impact on my life overall.

My coaching sessions with Heather were a very helpful way to focus on difficult situations and questions without fear of judgment.
I left these sessions feeling satisfied that I came away with a positive resolution I could use in my daily work life. These sessions were a great way for me to voice problems I would not have wanted to share in a group setting.

My one-on-one coaching sessions with Heather allowed me to be open and honest about some of the leadership issues facing myself and other managers at our organization.
​
I was able to bounce my ideas around with her. Because of this back-and-forth thinking, I was able to meet with our organization’s leadership and have an open dialogue to make changes in how we communicate with our staff.

Working with Jeff was a pleasant and productive experience, as he methodically helped me drill down on priorities, goals, and objectives.
On a personal level, Jeff helped me to understand what motivated me in business, which was very useful. From a practical standpoint, he helped me to define my priorities which yielded good bottom line results. I found Jeff to be easy to work with, personable, and filled with wisdom.
If I were to speak with someone considering working with Hockenberry Management Consulting, I would say “go for it!” because it’s worth every penny and every minute of time you will invest.

Jeff is very methodical with his approach to his consulting work. He works to initially get a temperature for the underlying culture/morale/DNA of the company and then puts his vast expertise to work inside of that understanding.
Strategy is a very time consuming but worthwhile process and Jeff helped to shepherd us along as we progressed in hitting our short term and long term strategy goals.
​
Jeff is one of the most honest and genuine people I know. Jeff brings a calm intensity to his approach, which is the exact combination needed when implementing strategy. Strategy quite often requires change and the implementation of change needs a firm yet gentle execution.
​
Partnering with Jeff is one of the most valuable investments you can make into your company.

The Leadership Development course I took with Hockenberry Management Consulting was an engaging experience that has helped me develop into a better leader.

After completing the course, I have a different outlook on being an effective leader rather than just a boss.
I recommend this program to anyone looking to better themselves as a leader.

Working with Heather gave me confidence in my role, and we worked together to identify areas of my business that required my focused attention in order to grow.

I recently had the opportunity to experience coaching sessions with Heather. This was after we completed an in-depth DISC assessment called the TriMetrix EQ Coaching Report, and Heather reviewed the results with me.
Her coaching helped me identify several areas I needed to address to be a better person and business owner. I would highly recommend Heather’s coaching services.

The Leadership Program that I went through with Jeff and Heather gave me the tools that I needed to look inward and assess my leadership style so that I could tailor that to those that I lead. I had never considered that you need to assess how you lead before you can effectively lead others, and that was an absolute game changer. Thanks to Jeff and Heather for all the insight they have provided.
It has already paid dividends for our organization.

It was refreshing to be coached by Heather Hockenberry! They say “You can not teach an old dog new tricks” but I beg to differ. It is always very beneficial to take an introspective look at ourselves and the way we interact with those around us – whether in a work environment or in our personal lives. Heather did an excellent job with the tools she implemented in allowing each of us in the group to take an honest look at how we can effectively lead others.
I would highly recommend her services to those who have the opportunity to be coached by her!

If you’d like to be challenged in your thinking, learn from those around you, and enjoy working with quite simply a quality human being, then working with Heather would be a prudent move for you and your organization - I’m glad I did!

Hockenberry Management Consulting provided a road map of the process that we would work through with the coaching sessions. In working with Heather, she was able to set expectations based on exercises centered on self-reflection, achievements, goals and obstacles. Heather professionally provided a 360-degree survey with my colleagues so that I could better identify blind spots within my environment.
Our conversations were thought-provoking and insightful, ultimately leading to the intended goals we were hoping to reach. I highly recommend working with Hockenberry Management Consulting.
