Pacific Rim Leadership Development has become an integral part
of our management team. His proven leadership techniques have made
a large impact on our effectiveness. Through working with Ken we
have built solid internal consensus on tough issues. This has
occurred while keeping our collective focus on our clients. I feel
confident we can make better decisions as a result of the counsel
and coaching Ken has brought to our management
team"
- Mike Stophlet, President and CEO, Natchiq,Inc.
- "The initial assessment of our
company, the recommendations, the sense of business discipline, and the
"road map" provided by Pacific Rim Leadership Development, gave us what was needed for
us to move to that next plateau. Even though there is still much to be
done, we are headed in the right direction with a unified sense of
purpose."
- Dennis Brandon,
President, Alaska Heritage Tours, a CIRI Company
- "Ken Thompson and Pacific Rim Leadership
Development has provided us with a unique and rewarding experience in
leadership and change management training. Considering Ken's many years of
large corporate, executive level management experiences, we have been able
to establish a complete strategy around effectively growing our company
while focusing on cost controls, portfolio management and customer
satisfaction. Pacific Rim Leadership Development has made a big difference
in the way we conduct our business and lead our employees."
- Bill Cheek, Former President and CEO, Natchiq, Inc.
- "Ken addressed our company's annual
planning meeting in January. Ken's presentation on the use of
teams was well done and filled a training need at Lynden. I
would recommend Ken to anyone!"
-
Jim Jansen, President and CEO, Lynden, Inc.
- "Ken was instrumental in getting us
to get our issues out in the open and confront what we
really had on our minds. His candor and facilitating skills
helped us face the reality of the "hidden agenda"
and opened up a dialog that may never have been had within
our company. Ken's approach to facilitating a team meeting
put all of my people at ease quickly, and in one day we had
more open discussion about our issues than a months worth of
staff meetings."
-
Greg Gapinski, President, ASRC Shared Services, Arctic Slope
Regional Corporation
- "Ken Thompson brings to his clients the very unique experience
of having led major organizations through good times and
bad. His real-life experiences and insights provide
managers and executives with invaluable ideas and ways to
explore what's worked and not worked in very practical
terms. Ken is able to lead a challenging dialogue with
clients based on real-life experiences as a business
leader. Ken's coaching and counsel provides practical
insights for individuals and teams who want to deliver
real results."
- Dan Hisey, COO, Alyeska Pipeline Service Company

Leadership Development is helping our Board of
Trustees focus on the vision of the college and
implement strategies that are critical to our success
as an institution of higher education. Ken's practical
recommendations are sensitive to the culture and norms
of the college and have contributed to improving
relationships among key constituencies. We are seeing
the results and working toward becoming an exemplary
Board that enhances institutional performance and
quality."
- Dr. John
Derry, President, Dallas Christian College
- "Ken's prescription for
forming "high performance teams" will be
used by Lynden to increase the effectiveness of
our intercompany coordination. Because of Ken's
background, he speaks with the knowledge of
someone who has "been there, and done
that." Lynden would highly recommend Ken
to any company requiring leadership development
services."
- Dave Haugen,
Vice-President, Lynden, Inc.
- "Ken Thompson of
Pacific Rim Leadership Development brings to
Alaska businesses both large and small, a
perspective and insight that is unmatched by
any other person or organization anywhere. The
rate and magnitude of business change and need
to adapt here in Alaska is conveyed by Ken in
a very down to earth, applicable and
personalized manner."
- Lynn Johnson,
President, Dowland-Bach
- "The Anchorage Economic
Development Corporation (AEDC) engaged Ken Thompson on three
occasions: 1) to facilitate a strategic planning process with our
Board of Directors, 2) to present the strategic direction developed in
the Board's planning sessions to our membership, and 3) to facilitate
a meeting with a Steering Committee organized to oversee the
development of a comprehensive economic development plan for
Anchorage. The three consultant projects were conducted in a
professional manner. Each resulted in a positive outcome. We would certainly consider Ken Thompson when planning similar
projects."
- Larry Crawford,
President and CEO, Anchorage Economic Development Corporation
- "Pacific Rim
Leadership Development's services were
critical to honing our mission, vision and
strategies to better reflect our dynamic
expansion. Ken Thompson accurately captured
our passion and commitment to serve Alaska's
neediest children - and fine-tuned a
compelling and achievable strategic plan that
will impact children for years to come.
- Noelle Hardt,
Director of Grants & Government Relations,
Boys & Girls Clubs of Southcentral Alaska
- "100% of the
attendees at the leadership seminar Ken
presented responded favorably to our post
seminar survey. While we have had many
training retreats in the past, Ken Thompson
was more than an instructor following a
lesson plan. His experience as a senior
executive with a major corporation enabled
him to deal with the subject matter with the
high credence of a professional who has "been
there and done it."
- Chuck
Johnson, President and CEO, Era Aviation,
Inc.
