JOIN US ON A RESULTS 1ST JOURNEY: DEFINING, TRACKING, VERIFYING & REPORTING SUCCESS
     

Meet the Results 1st Team

The success of an enterprise is explained less by its structure, process, values, or visions than it is by its people. In our case, we have a team of Results Guides and very helpful clients, who have helped us refine our work by using it.

Your guides for effectively using the tools and templates of Results 1st are featured below. 

We use the term “guide” to differentiate ourselves from the typical understanding of the word “consultant.”

There are three distinctions:

  • A guide takes you toward a destination. You need a guide not to travel but to get somewhere — whether it is a mountain top, a creel full of fresh trout, or a specific accomplishment for an organization.
  • Guides have been there and offer possibilities new to the group. They are distinct from many facilitators and consultants, who help groups clarify and use what they already know.
  • Guides provide right-sized provisions. Many organizations set forth on program voyages loaded with bulky baggage of evaluation and outcome terminology. They have packed too much to sustain the pace.

His government clients include mayors and city managers in such cities as Albany, New York; Grand Rapids, Michigan; and Seattle, Washington. He has worked with the governors of Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and West Virginia.

Much of Hal’s career has been focused on creating and leading The Rensselaerville Institute (TRI). The Institute is an internationally respected educational center known as “The Think Tank with Muddy Boots.” Its nationwide community self-help projects have been featured on such programs as the CBS and NBC nightly news and the CBS Sunday Morning news magazine. Newspaper features have appeared in national publications, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Parade Magazine.

Hal is lead author of "Outcome Funding: a New Approach to Targeted Grantmaking." Now in its 4th edition, the book is widely used in the U.S. and the U.K. as a framework for allocating and spending money to improve human lives and conditions.

Hal also has served as lead consultant to a U.S. Presidential Commission.

Clients work with Hal to create a target and produce results. As the late Dexter Yager, one of the most successful Amway dealers, said in one of Hal’s favorite quotes, “You’ll never leave where you are until you decide where you would rather be.”

Hal invites you to join him in a Results 1st Journey.

Robyn Faucy

Robyn Faucy

Results 1st -
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Owner
TEDx Speaker

An experienced guide to aggressive and transformative results for non-profit and for-profit organizations.

Robyn Faucy guides organizations to achieve aggressive and transformative results. Her specialties are revenue development, culture-shifting, marketing, and guiding individuals and teams to achieve more by defining, tracking, verifying, and reporting results.

Robyn has held leadership roles with Sylvan Learning Centers and the American Cancer Society. Robyn’s leadership resulted in significant financial growth and increased volunteer engagement and client achievement. Prior to taking the helm of Results 1st, she was the Chief Executive Officer of Neuro Challenge Foundation for Parkinson’s, in Sarasota, FL, where in her five-year tenure she increased income, financial reserves, and participant engagement by over 100%.

In 2018, Robyn created the Parkinson’s Expo, the largest educational experience of its kind in the nation. Over 1,400 participants attend and get actionable education and resources. The Expo grew to become a significant source of income to fund Neuro Challenge’s programs.

Robyn is a TEDx Speaker. Her talk – Helping Others Active Access to Social Capital- outlines an actionable three-step approach to help people increase their social capital.

When Robyn is not guiding leaders and organizations to greater achievement, she enjoys time with her loved ones, being near the water, and being active. She currently lives in Bradenton, FL and was raised in Sarasota, FL when her parents moved from Massachusetts in the early 80’s.

Robyn attributes her relentless determination to help groups to succeed to her upbringing by her blue-collar, hardworking parents. Neither of her parents graduated from high school and her father died when she was 12 leaving her mother to be a single parent.  She has lived many of the circumstances that participants in nonprofit organizations face. She feels these experiences have built her “hustle muscle” and desire to help others overcome challenges through change.
