Hey, Yupette,
In light of the recent election of Independent John Vihstadt to the County Board, resignation under threat of expulsion by Libby Garvey from the Arlington Democratic Committee, poor planning decisions by the County Board, and increasing dissatisfaction with County Government by Arlington voters, residents, and taxpayers, I had to wonder what County Board Chairman Jay Fisette's spouse, Robert Rosen, and his executive consulting firm, Healthy Companies International, have been up to lately.
Turns out that Bob has a new keynote presentation, 'Gounded: How Leaders Stay Rooted in an Uncertain World' which he gives to various corporate, non-profit, and government organizations around the United States. Early this month Bob made a presentation to top government executives at the United States Department of Transportation, in Washington.
According to blurbs posted to the Internet, Bob's latest keynote presentation consists of 'storytelling and case studies from his interviews with over 300 CEOs. Rosen focuses on the six personal dimensions that fuel...and refuels...the world's top leaders: physical, emotional, intellectual, social, vocational, and spiritual health. Audiences will walk away with a strategy and concrete steps to adopt the Healthy Leader model that incorporates their personal goals, values, and assets'.
Bob Rosen is apparently the sole owner and CEO of Healthy Companies International. His former domestic partner, now spouse, Jay Fisette, has refused to recuse himself from deliberations when Bob's clients have appeared before the County Board, and provide a list of Healthy Companies clients with matters pending in County Government. Chairman Fisette also refuses to provide a statement of his and Bob Rosen's joint income on the grounds that same sex marriage is not legal in Virginia.
