Outplacement & Recruiting –
Ralph A. Dise, Jr. is founder and president of Dise &; Company, a Human Resource advisory firm with expertise in Executive Recruiting, Corporate Outplacement and Leadership Coaching. Ralph has a life-long interest in developing leaders and helping enterprises succeed.
He learned his earliest leadership lessons as a teenager attending a summer military program. Later, when he graduated from college he joined the staff of a US Senate campaign. That experience exposed him to government and political leaders of every stripe. Ralph was fortunate to interact with a broad spectrum of leadership styles. He spent several years in government and politics before pursuing a graduate degree in business management.
In 1991 Ralph started Dise &; Company as a one-person business specializing in outplacement of hard to place individuals. The firm has grown to a multi-faceted human resource consultancy helping companies find the best and brightest talent (executive search) develop and retain top performers (leadership coaching) and separate employees with dignity (corporate outplacement). Executives of for profit and not-for-profit organizations seek Ralph out as a trusted advisor, sharing with him their need to recruit top executives or address key organizational issues.
This has given him hands-on exposure to a variety of organizations from multinational manufacturers to the Cleveland Orchestra to emerging entrepreneurial ventures and major hospital systems. Under Ralph’s leadership, Dise &; Company has grown to be a learning organization where new ideas are constantly developed, considered and applied. All of the staff members contribute to the life-long learning process through a structured professional development plan.
Ralph has an MBA from Bowling Green State University (Ohio), a BA from Westminster College (Pennsylvania), and is a graduate of the COSE Strategic Planning Course. He is past president of the Northern Ohio Human Resource Planning Society and a member of the Society for Human Resource Management.

Our Guest:
Bob Bassman
Chairman/CEO
Bassman Growth Advisory Partners
FIT – Financial Independence Time Table –
Relentless pursuit of perfection is the only way to describe Bob Bassman. Take one look at the numerous power-lifting trophies that line his office the walls, you immediately know that this is an accomplished man. Yet, his greatest achievement has no plaque. You see no evidence of this success in his office except for a pile of neatly highlighted folders.
When you ask Bob what gets him up in the morning, he says enthusiastically, “helping others succeed.” And that is what Bob has done. Since opening the doors of Bassman Growth Advisory Partners (BGAP) in August of 2004, he has helped his clients grow an average of more than 40% annually. Before BGAP, Bob was founder and CEO of Kaye/Bassman International (KBIC), a professional recruitment organization based in Plano, TX. When Bob sold the business to his management team in 2004, KBIC had reached annual revenues exceeding $15 Million.
This is an impressive accomplishment for a single site, permanent placement, firm. More extraordinary, it is a feat unmatched in the 40-year history of the Management Recruiters International (MRINetwork) system, where KBIC also won numerous awards. In 1996, KBIC won the coveted International Office of the Year award, a title they never relinquished until departure from the system in the end of 2005. Bob takes pride in the fact that during his tenure at KBIC, the firm enjoyed a 95% retention rate, turned out over 200 Pacesetters, ten individual million dollar plus producers and two individual two-million dollar plus producers. Prior to opening KBIC,
Bob enjoyed a successful sales career with Atlas Match and Universal Match. He currently resides in Addison, TX with his wife, Sandy. Outside of running his business and participating in power-lifting competitions, Bob enjoys spending time with his children, Tracy and Paul, and their families.

Matt frequently offers advice and guidance to employers on the ever changing world of wage and hour, employee misclassification, and social media law.
In addition, Matt routinely negotiates and drafts contracts on behalf of clients, including employment, professional service, consulting, vendor service, non-competition, non-disclosure and non-disparagement agreements. Matt has also counseled clients on successor liability issues that arise during the sale and purchase of businesses.
