Sarasota leadership consultant buys out partner, emphasizes results

Sarasota leadership consultant Robyn Faucy is fond of saying ‘so what?’ to motivate clients. So much so oftentimes those clients make up pens, T-shirts and other merch with the two-word saying. One nonprofit client even had ‘so what’ shirts handed out to the organization’s entire board. 

‘So what,’ to Faucy, is a call to arms when an organization cites statistics: Sure, you had 100 parents sign up for a program, or doubled the amount of people who came to your event over last year. But are those attendees showing tangible improvement? Are those clients getting better at whatever the mission of the organization is? Those are the results Faucy seeks for clients. 

The company Faucy is CEO of, aptly named Results 1st, is going through its own ‘so what’ moment. Faucy recently bought out her business partner, consultant and author Hal Williams, in a planned succession. And the company, which has worked with 135 organizations in the past four years, is also adding a personal development component to the organizational work it’s been doing. Faucy says this is her time to, in another phrase she’s fond of, “walk in her purpose.”
