… the participants gained so much knowledge, insight and career techniques during the six seminars.Thank you for sharing your personal career experiences. It helped each of the participants to know that other women have similar problems and how to successfully deal with them. At each seminar I watched each participant become more confident and self-assured. You have made a difference in their lives.”

Judy Johnson-White,
Program Director,
Dress for Success (New Orleans)


“One of your most valuable contributions is how you share from your personal experience. You are an ideal model of taking whatever resources you have to achieve the goals you set by taking the initiative to get things done. You really motivate your audiences to do the same in their situations.”

Margaret Deane
Director of Human Resources
Windsor Court Hotel (New Orleans)


“It was great to see by the time you conducted the last session of the four, we had standing room only. A month later, attendees were still talking about you. The general comment was the information really hit home because of the way you presented the material. They related well to you and actually listened to what you had to say. I think it was because you have a “feel” for them rather than lecturing to them. Both the audience and I loved the stories from your own personal experiences. You made us all laugh and illustrated your points well.

"This investment was more successful that we had imagined it would be.”

Susan D. Krohn, CPC, CTS

“Well, you have done it again. Your speech… Position Yourself to Win, has set everyone abuzz with energy.

I watched the audience as you spoke and saw so many positive reactions. With every head nod I could tell that your experience and stories related to theirs. Your integrity about your own life inspired the listener.

They said they gained a sense of how to apply your strategies in promoting themselves and their careers. They added that the program opened up some new possibilities for them. I believe you especially have been a good role model about accountability for your actions in your career and personal life.

You are very motivating and specific. The employees left knowing why we all will strive to stay the number one hotel in the world.”

Margaret Deane
Director of Human Resources
Windsor Court Hotel (New Orleans)


“Overall the workshop received a quantitative rating of 9.60 on a scale of 10. Employees’ qualitative comments also show their appreciation, especially for your way of expressing views and giving personal examples. More than one person noted that the down to earth honesty in the session gave them opportunities to share and learn more about how to work well with others. Participants said that they would apply their improved skills to solve difficult problems that arise. Several people said they learned the value of using creativity to prepare for success.

Our employees will be more dedicated to being open to work instructions and maintaining a workable relationship with their colleagues. They will strive to be more receptive to viewpoints of others in the workplace. The workshop was a step in the right direction in making them more willing to trust other ideas. We have started to review our personnel policies and procedures to assure opportunities for ways all employees can contribute. One long-term benefit I anticipate because of this session is a greater sense of teamwork among workers.

You create an environment where participants can express ideas and differences that make for better solutions.

“Your “Position Yourself to Win” workshop was very well-received!

We appreciate the homework you did in preparation for your workshop. You asked all the right questions. You thus became fully informed about the organization in which you were coming to facilitate your workshop. And the critiques were glowing: 9.84, on a 10-point scale. The comments we were most interested in were those that indicated real changes, i.e., those in response to “How will you apply the learning of this workshop to improve your effectiveness or to make yourself more marketable?” Just a few of those answers:

ü To constantly try to learn more and grab all the opportunities offered to me
ü I will improve my job by keeping a positive attitude in the workplace
ü To become more patient and open to changes and new ideas in the workplace

People want and need to be enthused, empowered, capable of being fulfilled by their jobs. In my mind, workshops like “Position Yourself to Win” is one way to get there.

Terry L. Chopin
Equal Employment Manager

“Your workshop proved to be very instrumental in motivating and inspiring the participants in determining their employment and career plans.

The information that you provided to the participants will certainly enable them to secure meaningful employment. Several participants had really positive comments on how well the workshop allowed them to evaluate their employment strengths and weaknesses; evaluate job opportunities; and learn how to develop a career plan. As a result of the workshop, participants renewed their confidence and feeling that it’s never too late to make a new start. “

Ronnie Moore
Executive Director
Institute for Resident Initiatives


“You were truly inspirational and you can trust that you have made a difference in the lives of the people present.”
