You assisted the company with transitioning to a new management team and development of a strategic business plan. Your business expertise and insightful analysis and advice enabled our company to clarify our message streamline our products and identify the right target audience. Through your collaboration IHS has been stabilized and is now on path to growth.
I strongly recommend you to businesses and individuals seeking effective business consulting and coaching.
Your work with the Hogan Assessments provided a powerful structure by which we could safely and effectively explore our retrospective strengths and weaknesses. Unlike other personality tests we have taken (i.e., the MBTI and DISC) the Hogan focuses specifically on our tendencies and implications for the success of our partnership and our business. Tony and Sara's coaching and interpretive work was powerful, insightful and has created a new awareness for us.
The DISC is heavily used in our community and I have never had anyone close to the two of you, provide the appropriate lens on how my character style really operationalizes in day to day work life... But, more striking was the skill by which each of you presented the information.
You guided us to recognize where we are now and where we need to go if we are to grow into the organization we want to be. You took us from individuals rambling about in our vision and our goals and pointed us, as a group, in one direction—you helped us layout a roadmap. You were able to bring out the best in all of us and set us on an agreed-to course of action. I was amazed at how easily you maintained control and kept us focused. It was my pleasure and a privilege to attend your conference.
You helped me successfully transition from a scientific consultant role to Operations Director – US for my global consultancy. Your insight and guidance on the difference in operational responsibilities between the two positions better prepared me for managing the people and achieving the performance required from an Operations Director. Also, you helped me to visualize and implement changes in the organizational structure to enhance efficiency and maximize quality of our research and deliverables.
The presentation you provided "Sabotaging Success" was right on the money... I face the behaviors discussed in the presentation on a daily basis... It helps to know that that this type of behavior is not restricted to our program. I really enjoyed the discussions and would recommend others attend to share and learn.
Thank you for the stellar workshop I've served on many a Board and still learned plenty as a result of your effort.
You have been one of our most popular presenters. Your topic related to Self Sabotaging Behaviors, is one that is rarely addressed, yet we have all experienced clients and others who have participated in this behavior that usually results in the individual being asked to leave a position, or who choose to leave before being terminated. There was standing room only for you dynamic manner in getting to the heart of the matter, speaking clearly so that a diverse audience would understand and appreciate the points made, and an ease in answering probing questions. From comments written by the conference attendees, you were one of the few that were specifically cited to present again, on this and other topics. We hope that this will be but one of the first of our conferences for which you will present. We also hope that tribes and others who heard your presentation will look into bringing her to their organizations for trainings in management, board relations, and a host of other topics.
There was a moment of clarity when it all came together and our Board grew by leaps and bounds. As we transition from a special interest board into a 501C3 charitable board your words and outlines will serve us well.
Your time made what could have been an uncomfortable and unproductive mess a smashing success. Thanks so much!
You were extremely helpful in moving our board to focus on our future goals… we now have a plan to guide us to future successes. Your enthusiasm and professionalism kept our board engaged the entire retreat.
You provided a constructive approach to training in a holistic and practical manner. Your engaging and insightful methods of sharing a broad range of concepts and practices to a diverse audience are poignant as well as memorable. You’re an inspiration to those she works with. Your leadership, compassion, and focus will truly serve as a brilliant guide for interpersonal, professional, and life development.
Your concept about your work not only keeping companies in business, but also improving their bottom line is right on. I like to think of it in terms of efficiency. If you avoid screw ups, limit self sabotaging behaviors that muck things up, your organization will naturally run more efficiently with fewer distractions that eat up time, success and, ultimately, profit.
Just wanted to say – nicely done – on your presentation on Succession Planning. It was very well organized and presented at a real and practical level. Good take aways as I picked up a number of items/refreshers that I can use immediately. Well worth my time.
I wait for your post, I started a small business with Avon, and I watch your post for encouragement and for ideas on what I need to do to build my client base and my business. Thank you.
Your pragmatic approach to business management, client relations, and psycho-analytical observation as it relates to fear and insecurity in the workplace is a needed commodity to any young entrepreneur.
