RAVE REVIEWS

What I asked you for last week was to challenge my team to turn the tables around- to think in terms of "What can I do to contribute to..." rather than "What do I have to do? You spoke of Personal Bottom Line, personal ownership, and perhaps most importantly, Emotional Intelligence - self control, persistence and self-motivation. It may be difficult, if not impossible, to be able to measure just how many attitudes changed during your brief time with us, but I can assure you that it generated a lot of positive energy that we hope to capture, sustain and grow. You used tangible, real-world examples that everyone was able to relate to. My only regret is that we didn't spend the whole day on Entrepreneurial Thinking.

Thanks again for providing our dealership employees with some great insight into the benefits of customer satisfaction. I enjoyed your presentation because its kept the audience's interest, you've used interesting stories to illustrate your points, and you provided them with good technique that they could take back and use at their dealerships.

The feedback from our attendees was fabulous and your score for your expertise on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being high was a 4.9.  Your ideas stimulated our thinking and expanded our vision with a fresh approach to igniting the passion around our profession and the individual talents that bring it all together.

I have always viewed myself as an entrepreneur charged with growing the enterprise.  What I had not considered quite adequately was that all the accomplishments of the organization come from other people and that the real trick in our business is to get our people to buy in to the entrepreneurial framework.  In two short hours of your program you gave me a dozen simple and straightforward tactics to do just that.  I implemented one within hours of your program and was astounded at the reaction.  I have since used your suggestions with staff and am amazed at the results.
Bernard Bourdeau, CAE
President, New York Insurance Association

I am always looking for new approaches to deal with the day to day problems confronted by my business clients.  That is why I just spent six hours listening to the CD’s of Peter Senge’s “The Dance of Change.”  However, your one-hour presentation of Entrepreneurial Thinking for Leaders provided me with more pertinent and useful information and tools than I could ever hope to get from Mr. Senge’s “Dancing.”
Jack E. Kaufman
Kaufman and Kaufman Law Offices

The program provided many tools to creatively think about the different revenue streams and the importance of engaging in a business conversation focused on the needs of the customer…directly in line with our Sales Call Process.  Entrepreneurial Thinking was a fresh approach to the selling process and really helped our reps focus on accountability.
Joanne Mulligan, District Sales Manager
Verizon SuperPages

Your presentation: Reach for the Stars Through Entrepreneurial thinking was great.  You clearly researched our industry and tied our theme perfectly into your presentation.  Your ability to mingle humor, information and song was wonderful.

I was an attendee at the recent HealthCare Partners Symposium and heard your presentation entitled "Leadership and Entrepreneurial Thinking". I wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed both the content and the presentation of your topic. I was edified and entertained with the high degree of the latter enhancing the former. Your message was spot on correct as to the mindset necessary for both managers and workers to succeed in an organization.
Robert Blackman, MD
Regional Medical Director
Heathcare Partners

Your enthusiasm and ability to bring all the components of the program together in a way that could be easily applied in our everyday work environment made for a very successful program.
Kathy McHugh

Jodi was very interactive with our employees and everyone was inspired and motivated. I feel that Jodi was instrumental in re-energizing the InSource team in helping all of us realize our potential to ourselves and the company.
Ed Gravell

I am very pleased to report that Jodi has not only met, but in all cases exceeded both my and (1000+) HACLA staff's highest expectations. Jodi's obviouis expertise and abundant enthusiasm in key topic areas such as Customer Service, Interpersonal Communications, and Individual/Team Performance Excellence have consistently served to both educate and motivate all those fortunate enough to take part in one of her workshops.
