Testimonials
“Teri spoke at our annual leadership meeting, and we could not have been more pleased. She was dynamic and bright, and she kept our leaders actively engaged right from the get-go…even after a full day of meetings. Teri used her real-world experience at Disney to align her presentation to our own customer service goals, and as a result, the information was rich and relevant. We came away with plenty of customer service concepts and ideas, which we readily applied to our own company practices.”

“As the enclosed feedback summary attests, the workshop was a big hit! Attendees were very appreciative of the information and skills provided, your enthusiasm, and the interactive/engaging style of the session. We are confident that the insights and tools you shared will be helpful and applicable not only during the training process, but also in everyday interactions. Once again, Teri, thank you for providing a highly successful and valuable training workshop to our group. We look forward to the opportunity of working with you again in the future!”

“Teri, once again, thank you for your excellent presentation! Based upon the evaluations your presentation was received overwhelmingly with “Excellent”! Of course, we were not surprised.”
Belinda Burkey:
Space Coast SHRM Association
“Thank you for your outstanding session on Creating a Culture of Service Excellence. I have heard culture discussed before in training and even heard it said that you must change the culture in order to implement any substantive change. But your session was the first to present a practical, step by step, “nuts and bolts” if you will, approach as to how to actually change an organization’s culture. You presented good “real life” examples to paint a clearer picture.”
Lou Cirelli: Director Quality Assurance
Dormitory Authority State of New York
“To say that you were a “hit” at our Senior Management Conference this last week on St. Simons Island would be an understatement. I’ve received numerous compliments regarding your presentation and the quality of the content. As a plus, those who had the opportunity to visit with you liked you personally as well. Thanks again for a terrific experience.”

We do good work but we can always do better, You have provided the catalyst to keep us moving in a positive direction. Your work with the staff at all levels is a “work of art”. Your ability to catch and keep their attention whether it be the Senior Directors or the line staff is amazing. Keeping their attention is amazing enough but to get them to understand the message is the critical test and all signs indicate they do get the message.

Their services exceeded our expectations throughout the project and the service improvement process still exists within our organization today.”

“One of the most valuable things our team learned through Unleashing Excellence and our time with Teri personally, was the value of the Service Improvement Team. It was incredible to watch how truly working together in an organized fashion toward the common goal of creating legendary service for our customers was so much easier and more effective than the way we were working prior to our introduction to Teri.”

It was clear that attendees appreciated the topic and your interactive mode of delivery. We value you sharing your expertise with the group and making it relevant for them. As I told you right after the session, it’s tough for one person to hold the attention of 500 people for 90 minutes. And that you did masterfully!”
