"I just wanted to let you know that the Salesperson Walt helped me with last winter did in fact turn it around, exceeding her number to almost 140% attainment.  We don’t have the final numbers, but she may have grabbed the top Salesperson spot in the branch.  It was a painful process to go through for both of us, but committing to her to "be a coach" really did pay off.  Thanks for Walt’s help, input and guidance.  I hope that I may find myself in a training class with BreakThroughs again soon!"

Verizon Sales Manager

I truly have found enormous value in what you taught. What I learned will last a lifetime. There have been only a few training classes that I have found of value during my 20 years in the industry. What you do brings value not just to us as employees of a company but as individuals as a whole.
- Verizon Sales Manager

This year my team has delivered about 7M over what we sold last year.  I attribute the coaching skills I learned in your program with the increase in performance!
- Verizon Sales Manager

I feel like my coaching has become more effective, because I can both help identify with the employees personality, and anticipate their reactions.  The program has taught me how to manage different people by truly understanding what motivates those individuals.
- Hewlett Packard Manager

This was the "recharge" I needed in order to continue to bring my enthusiasm back to the team.  I have taken another look at how I coach, tried to be a better listener, and have been more effective in coaching my people.
- Avaya Sales Manager

I have conducted coaching sessions with all 12 of my team members.  This has given me the opportunity to convey my expectations for doing their job, my observations and what we need to focus on.  This has provided me a more objective manner for measuring performance, providing ongoing feedback and positively impacting results.
- AT&T Sales Manager

Best example of how the Manager as Coach Program has helped me is how I was able to use what was learned to move someone who was on a performance improvement plan to the top performer in my branch. 
- AT&T Sales Manager

That we CAN change our culture- before this class I would not have believed it was possible.
- AT&T Sales Manager

Incredible increase in our communication!  Laying out our values (and really agreeing to them) has laid a ground work for how we work together and support each other.  Allowed us to have some very important conversations around difficult subjects which will assist us in building a plan and vision around changing our culture.
- MCI Sales Manager

Excellent use of time!  Pulled team together and we will become a high performance team.  This will enable me to communicate authentically with every member of this team.
- MCI Sales Manager

“I learned what the qualities of a peak performer are and I can and will use these to improve my performance, achieve my goals and my value to the team.  I also learned that we limit ourselves from things we don’t believe we can achieve, and this is where our beliefs and attitude are important to succeed instead of fail.”
- Verizon Wireless Sales Manager

This BreakThroughs in Attitudes Program pointed out the obvious, but often overlooked, traps that we fall into, and gives us the skills, tools and courage to recognize and overcome them. It was a great lesson in evaluating ourselves and helping us realize our potential.
- AT&T Sales Person

"I learned that attitude can affect my performance and the bottom line. My attitude as a manager also has a significant impact on the people who work for me. I must model the attitude I want my people to adopt." 
- Verizon Sales Manager

This teambuilding program was a vital part of the turnaround of our business. No one else could have facilitated this happening as well as BreakThroughs. Your professionalism and commitment to our success makes you one of our most valued partners. Thank you! 
- Avaya Director

The problem solving simulation clearly demonstrates that teams using the skills and tools learned are able to produce decisions and results that are far superior to any individual on the team. I will take these lessons back to my team to improve our results.
- AT&T Vice President

With what I have learned I will now build a team that is truly a TEAM. A team that focuses on working together and holding each other accountable for reaching our objectives. Thanks for making this such a positive experience and putting it in a framework that I can easily apply when I return to work.
