Howard Shore was a terrific business coach who facilitated our managment strategy sessions and challenged us to greatness over several years. I learned a lot from him and his expertise in coaching countless exec teams. Highly recommended.

Howard is a tremendous Business and Executive Coach! I've known him over the past 20 years and his insights have been life-changing to say the least. Howard combines deep listening, business wisdom and honest feedback on transformative shifts that need to happen in order to grow your business profitably. He is a fearless coach who is willing to speak the unspoken and challenge mental models and blind spots. I highly recommend Howard to entrepreneurs and business executives who desire to elevate their game!

Activate Group, led by Howard Shore, has built an incredible reputation for helping entrepreneurs and their leadership teams take their companies to the next level of success, growth, and profitability. Earlier in my leadership journey, I took my leadership team through his program and the results were fantastic. Since then, I have referred Howard and his team to many CEO's that I know through my business and my involvement in YPO, and he has always made a measurable difference in their businesses. As CEO of a growing middle market business myself, I highly recommend Activate Group!

I have been working with Howard for about six months on my business. He has helped create structure from the chaos to build a business that runs smoothly, gets results and is profitable, all without me having to work 80 hour weeks.

Unlike many coaches I've worked with in the past, Howard has a gift for saying the thing that needs to be said in a way that inspires action. And his advice is always spot on. Working with Howard has had a huge impact on my business!

We run a fairly large private equity backed company with around 2,000 employees. Our executive team has used Howard and Activate for the past year. He has been instrumental in providing structure for our team around quarterly meeting and planning, strategy etc. Highly recommend Howard and his company regardless of your company size.

Howard has an extreme amount of experience and knowledge and was able to uniquely craft tools and exercises that helped transform and further develop our business and our entire executive team on an individual level. He provides personal support, creates an environment of healthy friction, speaks with directness, and always asks the uncomfortable questions. With Howard's support we were able to double our sales team and 4x our revenue in 1 year.

We have had the pleasure of working directly with Howard Shore from the Activate Group over the past 12 months. Howard provided us an approach on planning that will serve us well into the future. Lots of value and I would highly recommend his group if you are a business or organization that is growing fast and need to solidify a growth mindset and structured planning for your organization future development..
