"I want to thank you for the experience that I have gained from the 'High Impact Speaking,' and 'Creating an Executive Image' course. As you know, I attended these courses with the goal of advancing my career in Sales. Shortly after my last course, I was promoted to the position of Manager of Field Sales Training at Gilead Sciences.

Although I was experiencing excellent sales success, I wasn't experiencing the career growth that I wanted. I am confident the job promotion is attributed to the skills that I gained from these courses."

"What I learned from the seminar your firm presented is this: Selling is a process and the sales process works. I learned useful techniques in a easy to understand - step-by-step manner. Kim Marie explained the purpose of each exercise after she had us participate in each exercise.

This helps to understand and be clear and reinforce the selling process and it is important to understand what my own intent is in each step of the process.

Using the skills I learned in the seminar, I was able to make an appointment the very next day. I did it on my terms without sending samples that would have been put in the round file. I feel very encouraged.

I've been a buyer all of my life until recently when I moved to the sales side of things. I expected to sit in a classroom and be lectured as to why sales people are there to over power buyers by having special questions and techniques. Boy was I wrong.

Thank you very much for an informative, lively - interactive - fun - place to be for one day."

"I wanted to share some very exciting news with you. I’m in the process of becoming a teacher for the University of Phoenix (UoP). The interview process had two parts. The first was a regular interview, which I breezed through. However, we also had to give a 15 minute facilitative presentation. I had my presentation fully prepared in a couple of hours but then spent the next six weeks absolutely DREADING having to get up in front of people and give the presentation. The fateful day arrived. I got up to do my presentation and was a little nervous. However, I kept thinking about what you would do – ask questions, use the white board, probe people for deeper responses, etc., and after about a minute, my nervousness went away, and I had an absolute BLAST with my presentation. I really liked the subject, and my audience was totally getting into it as well. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences I’ve ever had. I feel like I’ve hit a real turning point. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for all your help!"
Ruth Fisher, President, Quanta

“Just wanted to say thanks for signing me up to audit the Communicating with Impact class! It was fab! I swore to myself that I'd review my notes and practice today. I want to remember so many different things.

Everyone was raving about how they'd gotten so much out of the class.

Me too. Great combination of workbook (light), standing in front of the class critique, group exercises and doing. I was really impressed by the comments I heard about the class and your training methods/ideas/technique. Also I think your laid-back, approachable style really puts people at ease. Just thought I'd let you know.”
