Testimonials
“I once watched Toni lead a group of reserved business leaders and witnessed the group transforming from limited thinking to open, creative and very productive interaction. It amazed me at the time. But now, after 20 plus years of working with Toni, I know that she has the capacity to invite people into unique experiences and the warmth and skill to inspire them to step up try the new. Toni is truly inspirational and at the same time she is grounded in practical knowledge of the way businesses function at their best. She guides her clients into developing the capacity to build strong relationships, clarify their personal and professional goals and move forward into increasingly productive and meaningful work. I recommend her enthusiastically to anyone lucky enough to work with her.”

“I have learned new ways to communicate with my staff after working with Toni. She has taught me to look see things from the other persons perspective when solving issues. I think the best lesson I have learned though is to take some time for my family and myself because you never get that time back and I am so grateful I listened while my mom was hospitalized a few years back. I would highly recommend Toni.”

“I worked at Maritz when Toni was hired as a training facilitator. I remember the tremendous impression she made because of her abilities to connect with a group, skillfully facilitate, and clearly present information. I later worked with her on a major re-design of a management training program, and found her to be collaborative and insightful. When I was on ASTD's program committee, I asked her to present to our local chapter, and she did so in a creative and memorable way. I've continued to hear about Toni's strong work over the years, and recommend her as a highly effective organization development professional.”
