“Mike Hawkins has been extremely valuable for my professional development and for the management of the college of engineering which I oversee as dean. Being a team builder and efficient communicator, Mike interviewed numerous stakeholders of the college – faculty, students, and others – and came up an innovative balanced scorecard for achieving our strategic goals. In addition, as my personal leadership coach, Mike coached me to develop a more efficient working style. His coaching is precise and efficient. Do not be surprised if you receive shortly after you hang up the phone, an email with an accurate summary of the main points of the conversation you just had with him. I have always enjoyed and learned from his immediate feedback on what I did right and what I could improve. My intention is to hire Mike again at the first opportunity.”
