Hear From Businesses Running on EOS

Hear it directly from transformed businesses.

Paton’s unique ability to facilitate open and honest communication liberates our management team to be 100% on the same page, set the right priorities, execute with discipline and accountability, and solve real issues holding us back from our full potential. In a nutshell, “cut the crap, get real and get ‘er done!

DAVID REILING

CEO, Sunrise Banks

I believe EOS was a turning point in our 15-year entrepreneurial journey. Through Paton’s help with the EOS Process and tools, we learned vision was important but accountability to our vision would help us achieve our goals. Less became more, a common vocabulary developed, and people began having more fun at work. With EOS, I found the focus we needed.

MATT MEENTS

CEO & CO-FOUNDER, Magnet360 & Yardstick

How were two guys with no prior business or corporate experience going to grow their business by a factor of 10x? Long story short, Paton was there every step of the way. Every 90 days he guided us, pushed and prodded us to greater heights. He kept us accountable to EOS over the next four years and sure enough, right as rain, we hit our goal on December 31st, 2015. Ryan and I will always be indebted to Paton for his passion for EOS and most of all his open and honest nature.
