“This training was fundamental in reaching corporate goals. It is not enough to simply find talented people; we must develop and retain them in order to attain the service and product objectives that capture and keep customers. This training was focused on “working” managers and was customized to the industry’s challenges. Because of that, it improved morale and confidence in managers, and in turn, produced significant value by creating a clearer picture of what success looked like for the company. The result: properly trained managers made better choices, lowered turnover, and crossed organizational boundaries to work on projects that resulted in significant cost savings and substantial boost in new business.” – Michael Ethridge, Senior Consultant, Airline Visions

“I have known and worked with Edie Harrison for over 10 years. Edie’s determination and commitment to Leadership training content and process have helped to differentiate our leaders from our competitors. Edie not only developed the material and content for our leadership training but also submitted it for Board Certification, allowing college credits for those working toward a degree. Her passion is evident in design and definition of the course material and direction- helping students make the most of the opportunity they had in attending our leadership program. Edie is honest and direct in her communication, and her energy drives her and her programs to new levels of training and value. I appreciated the opportunity to work with such an outstanding individual and team developer.”

“One of the most important requirements of my job is public speaking. It is extremely important that I am able to promote our work in the field through speaking engagements, to audiences both large and small. Without expert coaching this would have been a weak skill for me and a liability for my employer. Edie Harrison taught me the process of how to speak in public effectively, without fear, by breaking down this beast of a task into understandable, manageable parts. Instead of being a source of stress for me, public speaking is now manageable and sometimes even fun! Without Edie’s skillful coaching, this would have been an ongoing struggle and we would not be able to communicate effectively to our audiences. I am not perfect, but each engagement has been easier and more effective. It feels great to have a handle on what was once such a difficult part of my job!”
