What some of our clients had to say

“Ms. Stephen created a wonderful 90-minute session for us entitled ‘Turning Irritation into Appreciation’ which peaked the interest of a great many participants. We attempted to limit her session to 30, but discovered conference delegates “sneaking” in the back. Her session was so well received that she was asked to present at two member state and provincial conferences this past spring. PNLA is currently considering a pre-conference session with Ms. Stephen at our 2005 conference in Sitka, Alaska.”

~Mary DeWalt, President, Pacific Northwest Library Association

“I am writing to tell you of the wonderful success our organization experienced as a result of featuring Joanie Stephen as a key presenter at the Indian Creek Correctional Institution. The staff at Indian Creek continued to speak of the training for many weeks. We are in the process of writing grants to bring Joanie back to the institution. We would like more staff exposed to True Colors training.”

~Carolyn Lincoln, President/CEO, Baby Steps, Inc.

“I hired Joanie to deliver the True Colors Training to my office staff and managers at our annual retreat. Joanie did a wonderful job and everyone loved her presentation and the information she delivered. They were excited about their new people skills and used them in their jobs.. Because of the success of that training, I then recommended Joanie for another training at Boise State through a different department. Joanie again delivered a quality program, and the feedback was excellent. It was a pleasure to work with her.”

~Dian Scott, Director, Center for Workforce Training, Boise State University

“Three of the situational problems covered are exactly what I have ongoing now. Very good choices of these problem examples to work on”

~Richard Elliott, City of Virginia Beach

~City employee, City of Virginia Beach

“Every City employee should take this course!”

~City employee, City of Virginia Beach

“This course should be offered all of the time. Makes you think. Thank you.”

~City employee, City of Virginia Beach

“We were going through a difficult change when we brought Joanie in to help us see the light at the end of the tunnel. It was because of her expertise and ease that we were able to turn our irritation into appreciation as well as to understand the dynamics of change.”

~Pam Johnson, Owner, Hair Altier

“WOW! What a great way to understand and appreciate differences among my co-workers. And I learned so much about myself. It was truly a great experience.”

~Suzie Hardy, Manager, Qwest

“Joanie’s enthusiastic presentation kept us interested and involved, even after a long day. We are able to utilize the training everyday when working with our clients as well as our co-workers.”

~Carolyn Shelley, Owner, Graeber & Co.

“Joanie gives our clients a heads up about how to work within the workplace. These women are new to the workforce and find that understanding Temperament allows them to appreciate their strengths and to honor the strengths of their new co-workers. The training helps them find success in this new environment”

~Life Skills counselor, Women’s and Children’s Alliance Crisis Center

“We had just had training and I was having a difficult time with one of my employees. While I was driving to work the thought came to me to “check her color” I figured out her temperament style and reviewed my notes. I was then able to go to her with this knowledge and resolve the conflict with ease.”

~Brent, Sysco Foods
