Testimonials

"A great leader has many of the same qualities as a great friend. They can be empathetic, a trusted advisor, a motivator and can be counted on to help you see the big picture. I am fortunate enough to have a great friend who exemplifies all these traits, Bob Gau. Bob provided leadership during a very personal period in my life when my husband and business partner passed suddenly. Bob stepped in and assumed control of my company’s day to day operations, allowing me time to grieve. He quickly provided clear direction to my employees, demonstrated amazing learning agility and was able to effectively communicate with customers. Bob is a visionary who can navigate complex business models and provide directed strategies for success. He is also able to motivate team members by providing honest and compassionate feedback. He was an invaluable resource during a challenging time and provided a clear idea of how the company should operate, what success looks like and how to get there. I’ll be forever grateful and highly recommend Bob with no reservations.

"I have the privilege to share a quick story on Bob Gau, I applied for a job at Projections Unlimited Inc. (PUI) back in 1984. Bob Gau encouraged me as I went through a rigorous training program for six weeks one on one with Ray, one of the six owners at PUI. I had just graduated from Cal State Long Beach a couple months earlier and thought this class was harder than any of my courses in college. I missed passing the test to start my selling job and wanted to call it quits. Bob encouraged me to take a couple days to study and try again. It was then that he became my mentor for 36 years at PUI. I retired earlier this year and was grateful for 36 years with him by my side. I learned how to be a better salesperson, a better coworker and he helped enrich my personal life. He was caring and always looked out for his team. The one motto I will always use and share with my friends and family who also say it, "keep it simple make it fun". Thank you, Bob Gau, for being an inspiration and mentor for 36 years in my life."

"I have known Bob for 30 plus years. I have reached out to him many times over the years for guidance in business as well as personal guidance. He has always listened and then given me recommendations that were extremely helpful. If you need to discuss a business situation Bob is the guy to contact."

"I was fortunate to work with Bob over 15 years ago when he was a volunteer fundraiser for a large-scale capital campaign at Santa Margarita Catholic High School. Bob stood out as a confident leader with a positive attitude, and he always made everyone around him feel good. Bob has remained a friend and a mentor to me, and I am forever grateful that our paths crossed. He is not only successful in business but is a true family man and a man of faith. There aren’t many people out there like Bob Gau! "
