Customer Letters and Testimonials

Proven experience speaks louder than words. Unless those words come from satisfied clients! We receive numerous "thank you" letters from clients across the country. While we can't post them all here, we would be happy to share copies of them with you upon request.  Below are a few excerpts from some of them:

Phenix Label Company, Inc., Account Executive, on the Effective Personal Leadership Program, "I wanted to drop you a short letter of thanks ... I can't tell you how much it has influenced my life.  Never before had I realized how unorganized and non-directional my left had been.  My attitude has turned around 180 degrees to the positive, my sales have increased steadily, my work habits have become much more focused.... More than anything, it has given me a greater realization of what's truly important to me in my life, and I thank you for that." 

Hamilton Lamp Corporation, Production Supervisor, "...your Leadership course...was very beneficial for me to have a refresher course on being an effective manager...The personality profile is very informative.  I now realize that my personality can make or break me as a manager....It is a great tool because it is custom made... The input you gave the class as well as myself was of great value.  Again, thank you for a positive experience."

Lakeview Village, Director of Housekeeping, "Suffering an acute case of "burn out", I felt trapped and bored with my job.  Thanks to Fred Spears and the Effective Leadership Management program, I now feel such excitement while developing my staff, watching them catch the excitement and grow, and reaching that which they thought unreachable. I strongly recommend the program.  It has turned my life both professionally and personally completely around making each new day a wonderful adventure.  Thank you, Fred."

Associated Photographers, VP Manufacturing Operations, "This is somewhat after the fact, but I do want to let you know how much the Dynamics of Supervision helped in the project I was working on.  As a result of this course and the experienced input you added to each lesson, I have established a foundation for long term supervisory development in the company.  I plan on using the material for a long time to come... Thanks for the help and many suggestions..."

Mission Center, Director of Operations, "...After attending your classes I have noticed a tremendous change in my management skills... I have been more productive, am receiving higher praise from my supervisor and feel much better about my performance.... Thank you for giving my career a most needed jump start."

The Pack American Corp., Production Manager, "I wanted to let you know about the changes in the performance of one of our managers... He attended your Effective Supervisory Management Training in July... Before he started this training, his departments were suffering from low morale, high turn-over, and low productivity.  Utilizing the very tools that you taught him, he has managed to correct all of those problems and rebuild his departments, and more.... When you told me that this training would have a direct return on its investment in the bottom line of this organization, I basically believed in the value of training, but wasn't confident that I could directly prove the cause-effect relationship.  Jeff's growth as a manager has proven it to our higher-ups...Investing in development for a quality employee does provide returns.  Thanks."

Woodbridge Corporation, HR Administrator, "...the class on Effective Supervisory Management was very beneficial to me... I'm pleased to say that I greatly enjoyed attending the class and believe I'm a more confident, efficient and effective individual because of it.  I would highly recommend this class to others."

SKC Electric, Inc., President, "I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitiude for a job well done.  The class combined with your personal interest in John, Doug and Larry has made them more valuable employees.  I have seen improvements in their organizational skills, time management and personal lives... Your class was an investment in their future, well worth the expense.  Thanks again for all your hard work."

Church of the Ascension, "Thank for for including Ascension staff members in your seminar.  What a marvelous example of stewardship!  I liked your ability to listen and relate as well as your excellent delivery....  Thanks for the boost."

Sealy Mattress Company, Supervisor, "This letter is to convey my sincere appreciation for the opportunity to attend what I have found to be a very informative and productive course.... over the course of the 12-weeks I attended your classes I began to notice a significant change in my personal life and in my career.... I began to see teamwork developing, a true sense of camaraderie between my colleagues and myself.  Supervisory skills that laid dormant, resurfaced and helped to remind me just what my objectives should be.  I have enjoyed your course and will continue to apply the information learned in my everyday life!"

Warehouse One, General Manager, "I was very pleased and impressed with the instruction and results from the "Effective Supervising Management" course you gave one of my supervisors.  He has improved in self-confidence, planning, and leadership.  He is now ready to take on more responsibility and people.... I plan to send more supervisors to your course in the future.

Exabyte Corporation, Lead Management Supervisor, "This course has been a real eye-opener for me.  The disc profile is right on target with who I am, and how and why I do the things I do....  This course has helped me identify sources of potential weaknesses, failures, and opportunities... It has also helped me to narrow my focus on the important issues for tasks at hand, and to develop a plan of action to be much more efficient... Each day I find I am becoming more organized, get much more done, have more personal time, and a lot less frustrations both personally and professionally."

Western Extralite Company, Billing Supervisor, "I want to express my deepest thanks to you for both of the sessions I have spent under your "GODLY GUIDENCE"...You have given me insight on how to lengthen my fuse, be more patient, more tolerant, how to handle problem employees... I appreciate the fact that you kept the sessions interesting and moving at a good pace... Thank you for all you have given me."

McCrary Industrial Sales, Inc.,  "I wanted to let you know how LSI has helped me, made my business more profitable, and changed my attitude.  I estimate I am doing the same amount of work as I was before the course in approximately 70% of the time....I am also more organized now.  Not more organized.  Organized, period.  I wasn't.  Now I am... There is an old saying, people don't plan to fail, they fail to plan.  Thank you for showing me how to make the time I need to plan for my life's dreams and how I intend to achieve them."
