"I attended your Real World Selling Session at the IAEM Annual Meeting,  and it was terrific.  Typically I am the type that is easily disengaged, however, I could have sat in that session for another hour.  I have already begun to implement some of the techniques offered in the seminar."

"Customer Service is more than you think. Today we get caught up with many of the technical aspects of customer service. Maura's humorous presentation with "back to the basics" had me thinking about the gaps in my own customer service and those of my team."

"I truly enjoyed Maura's presentation both on a personal and professional level. It is reassuring to know that traits such as self-awareness, assertiveness, drive, and passion are those that are recognized and eventually awarded in life as well as on the field of competition. It is reassuring to know that we all face the same types of challenges in the workplace, whether it be in the coaching world or business world...and it is reassuring to know that if I continue to work hard and love what I do then I will define my own success and reach it. It was great to hear someone so passionate and driven in such a different area. I was inspired."

"Last night I was in attendance at your PMI Dallas Chapter meeting. I loved your presentation!  I must tell you that our President made a mistake during his announcements.  The biggest announcement of the evening was that YOU were presenting that night, not someone visiting us months from now.

"My staff was talking about what they learned in your presentation after it was over.   Most important, they were using the information to analyze the people they work with.  I would recommend your work to other managers who want a dynamic program that improves their team’s performance and understanding.”

"I met and hired Maura over a year ago to create a training class for my customer service team of 60. The class went exceptionally well. The team still raves about it. We are bringing her back to teach additional sessions to a larger team. She is a great teacher and was quick to pick up on additional needs. She then adjusted to include the "extra" things and make the class outstanding."

"I recently attended your program on Persuasion for Project Management Success and found it very useful, so much so, that I requested my staff to also attend your program. My superintendents reported that they learned more useful information from this program than any other four hour program they had attended."
