“Even start-ups need organization development and leadership coaching. Successful companies forge a culture by design from the earliest stages of the team formation. Arlen's work has been an integral part of our efforts at Matrix Semiconductor and at Tabula. I see the impact of his work in the continuous improvement of team cohesiveness and the individual growth of our key leaders.”

“Arlen is the best executive coach I have ever worked with. His advice is insightful, practical and produces results. Working with Arlen is like have a interactive map which guides you through the intricacies of organizational dynamics and executive personalities. He makes you see what the real issues are and leads you on a path to understand how to deal with them given your own strengths and weaknesses. I worked with Arlen for several years and found interactions with him invaluable in growing my skills as an executive and better understanding my tendencies. He is the simply the best!”

'I have worked with Arlen Burger for about 10 years at several different companies. He provided executive coaching and leadership development consulting services while I was VP of HR at Xilinx. He served as my personal coach as well. I found him to have a direct, to-the-point style, with a sense of humor that can lighten up a tense moment when needed. He quickly develops rapport with the client, instilling confidence and building trust. One of his strong suits is learning about the environment he’s in, and making the development work he does very relevant to the given situation. I am working with Arlen again at a smaller company where, in addition to coaching executives, he is also working with mid-level managers in a series of one-on-ones and Leadership Development meetings in group settings. Arlen is innovative, and provides a full service leadership development offering in addition to customized programs. I would enthusiastically recommend Arlen as a leadership development consultant and coach."

“Arlen is one of the brightest people I know. He has very keen insight into people, what makes them tick, what motivates them and how to get them to do what you want. Arlen is organized, and within a short time of working with someone, can suggest changes to improve their career trajectory. He also has a very good sense for organizational structure, and how organizations are different depending on the size and culture of a company. Arlen can counsel you on the effect of different hypothetical organizational changes, and the likely effects these changes will bring on the greater organization and the people immediately affected by the changes. Arlen is great mentor, especially for senior level executives within an organization.”

“As the EVP at Xilinx, Arlen provided coaching for me to maximize our business results through improved team dynamics. He has an excellent grasp of human psychology, especially in team settings.”
