Michelle is one of the most genuine people I know, who really "gets" what we go through in reconciling our past with the present and future and setting us on the path to excellence in our careers and in our relationships. It's such an amazing experience to be able to work with her, and we recommend her unconditionally to anyone who wants to grow in their lives and careers!

‘It’s amazing how questions can change everything. There were things we were doing for years and were not sure why. To have Stephen Crawford as a coach has helped re-shape our company. Our total written annuity business in 2008 was $4 million. We hired Stephen in the last quarter of 2009 and wrote more business in the 4th quarter than in the previous year. This year we are on track of writing over $50 million in annuity business and he is coaching us as we look to expand into Wisconsin.”

“Stephen changed our world. Two years ago I was a stay at home mom and my husband and I bought a sign business that would represent our nest egg. Stephen has supplied us with insight through training and personal coaching that has driven a simple dream to a profitable business netting over 2.5 million dollars in revenue last year. We now have twenty-five employees and don’t know how we could have managed to grow this fast without the insight and training of Stephen Crawford.” Patti K. -- Vice President/Owner

“I have known Ms. Landry for a year as a trainer and she has provided our firm with excellent support in the areas of soft skills training. I can confirm that she is a woman of great integrity, is extremely dedicated to her work, empowering others and getting her audience to respond positively and always on a continuous learning journey which I think makes her an excellent coach. Ms. Landry, will be contracting with our firm for future training. We are a CPA firm that has ongoing training for the audit and tax staff; therefore we seek an individual that has integrity and the best interest of the firm’s direction in developing the employees.”
Denise D. Liburd -- Manager, Administrative Services

“You were truly a big hit at our CTE Summer Conference! Everyone is still talking about the outstanding presentation; your message “How To Handle Negativity” was perfect for our teachers who deal with difficult students daily and sometimes difficult administrators. Our conference evaluations suggest that this might have been the best workshop we have ever offered. Our teachers tend to get burned out and need someone to give them a boost to start fresh and to ‘feel’ again. You have accomplished that for them and for that I am grateful. Lisa, you brought energy to our conference with your great sense of humor, fun activities and stories. It was very interactive and I’ve never seen the teachers laugh so much and have such a good time, to the point that they didn’t have a choice but to give you high evaluation scores and complimentary comments for your performance. Thanks again for the fantastic program and I hope to work with you again.”
Sheri Cone -- Arizona FCCLA State Advisor

I have had the privilege of attending two of Lisa Landry's presentations. The first was at a “Women in Leadership” training event in which she was one of four presenters. While all of the speakers were engaging, Lisa Landry stuck out above the rest. I was so impressed with Lisa, her message and her delivery that I secured her as the sole speaker at our Elkay Business Women's spring event. Lisa was asked to speak on the topic of Life-Work balance and given a two hour time allotment. She customized a program for our group that dazzled each and every attendee. She provided a hands-on exercise that got each person to really think about their life with takeaways that could immediately be put into practice. Lisa's obvious love of people and her work provide a great foundation for the topics she speaks on.
