For the past six years, I have been fortunate to participate in the ongoing management training led by Barbara Schindler and her team at my company. This training has significantly enhanced my ability to manage myself and my emotions effectively. I’ve gained invaluable skills, such as making conscious agreements and establishing clear roles, which I will carry throughout my career. This training has been instrumental in my growth, both as a manager and a colleague.

I had the privilege of working with Heather as my coach, and her impact has been nothing short of transformative. Heather didn’t just teach me how to empower others, she helped me empower myself, becoming a stronger and more effective leader. The frameworks she shared and the thoughtful feedback she provided have significantly influenced both my business and personal life. Her guidance changed the trajectory of my career, and I’m deeply grateful for the insights she’s offered. Working with Heather has been a game-changer in every sense.

Knowing what you do and verbalizing it are sometimes two different things. Not for Tami Blodgett. Tami is sooooo sharp, she can split atoms when it comes to seeing your gifts and helping you get before the right people, with the right message. I have worked with Tami for years off and on. Each time I go back to sharpen my public image, she grounds me instantly and I make money. Nice combination!
