Tim Connor, President

Tim Connor has tim_connorbeen involved in hospitals and healthcare related fields for over 40 years. After developing the curriculum and serving as Program Director in the Ocala school of Radiologic Technology, he left clinical practice to move into organizational development. In that capacity Tim developed the Management Development Program for Munroe Regional Medical Center, and then managed the Performance Improvement process at that hospital for 10 years. His efforts there were instrumental in producing over 200 PI teams which resulted in the hospital earning a Florida Excellence Award in Patient Satisfaction in 2000, tying for the best in Florida in staff retention, and moving into the Top 100 Hospitals in the United States in several categories. He led the team which produced the first organization-wide implementation of Goldratt’s Constraints Management system ever undertaken by a hospital in the United States.

In 2002 Tim, with his wife Barbara, started Rodeo! Performance Group with the goal of making serious business methods both effective and fun. To date the company has worked with dozens of clients providing performance improvement and six sigma training, team development and facilitation, strategic planning with supporting implementation, leadership education and skills development, and Malcolm Baldrige Quality System implementation.

Tim has been certified as a Master Facilitator and a Master Instructor in Team Building, Process Management, Statistical Process Control (Six Sigma methods), and Managing Quality Improvement. He has been a Florida Sterling Examiner (Malcolm Baldrige), and a Certified Facilitator in Franklin Covey’s 7 Habits®, 4 Roles of Leadership®, and What Matters Most®. He is also a ruling elder at Grace Presbyterian Church (PCA) and has written over a dozen courses on the practical application of Biblical principles in daily life.

Tim Connor and the associates of the Rodeo! Performance Group have my gratitude for the assistance they have been to my company. Through personality testing, team building, time management, and leadership development they assisted us in the areas we needed to grow to achieve our maximum performance. My hope regarding Rodeo! is that they never work with my competitors."

Since we completed the [Executive Coaching] process I’ve been made team leader of two marketing and development teams, one with a company founder on it. Your work has made me better able to handle the different personalities and positions on the teams..."

Tim is a great team facilitator and teacher. His leadership brings about positive organizational changes. He can bring a team together to work towards a common goal and he has helped talented managers become more organized and effective."

~Janet Kent - Director, Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology

Focus, Alignment, Strategy - essential components for effectiveness. Rodeo has enabled our organization to clarify our focus, align our efforts with our values, and identify strategies that are achieving results."

~Toby D. Sorrells - Executive Director, International Friendship, Inc.

Unlike groups who put on seminars spewing fluffy vague ideas about excellence in some theoretical world, Rodeo is different. They work in the same real world that our organization does and enabled us to make actual change based on measurable material. And as we did, they revived the optimism and ambition that inspired our organization to exist in the first place. We can actually go where we decide to go now, using the tools and habits we learned working with Rodeo. It was not just a really good investment: It was also a heck of a lot of fun."
