Hi, my name is Bob Paden, the Owner of The Growth Coach of North Indianapolis. I guide humble and hungry business owners whose plan isn’t working through the transition to a “Next Level” business.

What’s a “Next Level” business you may ask? It’s a business with purpose, a “why,” and that exists for more than just making money for the owner. It exists to create a legacy; not just for the owner, but for the entire organization.

I help owners move to the “Next Level” through an accountability partnership. What’s an accountability partnership you ask? It’s a long-term relationship that sits beside the owner or leader and works ON the business, not IN it, through a frequent and intentioned cadence to make continual improvements. It’s about consistent personal and business growth.

Why engage me as a business coach?

• I have a history of repeated successful experiences with increasing levels of responsibility in different locations, businesses, markets and parts of the world, locally and globally.
• I have been effective at developing and scaling organizations and systems in four of the world’s largest businesses (GM, Rolls-Royce, Qantas and Cummins).
• I am an introvert with good social skills who focuses on creating long-lasting impact and have learned what it takes to succeed in an extrovert-focused world.

So, whether it’s a leadership change, a market change, a transition, a planned entrance into new markets, preparing for future sale, getting your business unstuck or out of debilitating crisis, finding a work-life balance, redefining your business case or preparing for a merger/acquisition or family-owned business transition…I am here to come alongside you, support you, and make it happen.

I earned my B.S. Degree from Purdue University in Mechanical Engineering Technology and have worked in and around small, large, local and global companies such a Rolls-Royce, Cummins, Quest-Global and Qantas to name a few, including my own businesses of NewRiverz, TIER321 and now, The Growth Coach.

I’m passionate about my family, have been married for over 30 years to my wonderful wife Lori, a Registered Nurse, and have two children, one Purdue Alumni (Shelby) and another Purdue Junior (Eric). And I’m now truly enjoying an empty-nest lifestyle with Lori and our two rescued black Labradors, Murphy and Mo.

Think it’s worth a conversation? Let’s talk to see if there is a fit.
