Testimonials

“My coaching session with Judy gave me the opportunity to reflect on how I accept acknowledgment, and helped me understand the importance of giving honest, heartfelt acknowledgment. I learned that there is no correct way to acknowledge, but there is a prerequisite. I must allow myself to be vulnerable for any given acknowledgment to be heartfelt, honest, and effective. And this works!”
Tom Kiley, Project Leader, Sandvik Special Metals

In today’s world, one of the top reasons good people leave a position is because of lack of recognition. They feel that management doesn’t see the work they do. They are just one of many, so why stay?
