Testimonials


"Psychological testing is a valuable tool that has been used by a number of highly successful sports teams. After careful consideration, I decided to engage Art Hobba and his company, Transcende, to help us with the testing for both the Coaching staff and the athletes. The data that we have gathered has added deep insight into better understanding what makes each athlete tick mentally and emotionally and help us optimize their alignment to their positions. I believe that this information will help us to build trust and become a stronger team. We will also be using Art to lead us through some team building and Principle Based Leadership workshop that will better prepare us for the Olympic Games in Beijing." 

- Dr. Terry Schroeder, Head Coach Men's 2008 USA Water Polo Team, 2 time Silver Medalist and 4 time Olympian

“Art Hobba’s message on Values Based Selling was fantastic! We engaged him to be our keynote speaker at our 2006 sales meeting to speak to our Business Development professionals (Agents) and senior management team. Art taught us and inspired us at the same time…with a clear message, laced with irrefutable facts about how honesty and trust building with our prospects and clients can win and keep clients for life. Everyone, including our CEO Mark Wheatman, raved at the quality and refreshing nature of his message. When we heard Art say it…it seemed so new yet it resonated deep down inside me as being so true all along. He articulated what we knew deep in our hearts. Art presents a striking and energetic figure and can definitely fill a room and I highly recommend him to any sales or leadership oriented audience”.

- Diana Javurek , VP of Operations, Wheatman Insurance

- Jim Cathcart, Best Selling Author of Relationship Selling, Founder and CEO, The Cathcart Institute, Past President, National Speakers Association

The Seller Series

  • DISC Behavioral Selling 
    -
    Most sellers are good at selling to people like themselves. But this only allows for behavioral alignment with 25% of decision makers!

This fill day seminar training will teach Sellers how first to know and understand their unique behavioral style (includes DISC Assessment for each attendee) but then teaches students how to use that knowledge to learn how to 'read' (and sell) to their prospective and existing clients. This allows for transcendent selling to close more sales according to the specific behavioral style of their prospect.
