Priceless Professional Development Client Comments

"I’ve participated in several Position Benchmark meetings facilitated by Suzie Price. She’s facilitated sessions for my company and for one of my clients. We enjoy working with Suzie because she is extremely client centric in her approach. She is a great listener, responds in a consultative manner and is always prepared. Suzie is also a student of her trade and is committed to learning more in order to bring greater value and benefit to the client." Tricia Dempsey, CEO, Agile Atlanta

"Thank you for your leadership and creativity last week. I told (others) that you were like a good referee. When the game was going well you let the players play (contribute) but when we got out of control you took charge and restored/improved as necessary to let us productively continue. Thank you." CTO, Technology Executive, Two-day executive team-building and planning off site

"We like to work with Suzie because she takes the time to listen to our issues, pre-plans the meeting and understands why she is being retained as a facilitator/meeting leader. Once in the meeting she brings energy and compassion to the event. In our post meeting discussions with participants everyone sees the value in her work and is pleased with the interactions and outcomes. Everyone learns from the interaction." K.T., Partner in an insurance brokerage firm, After facilitation of several team building and planning meeting

"As ASTD Volunteer Chairperson Suzie assembled the team…to make sure we had the right people in the right positions. She kept us focused on the end result, while allowing for creativity and discretion in the way we accomplished the result and she managed us and helped us stay motivated while avoiding the temptation to jump in and do stuff for us. I would eagerly work on another project that was being facilitated by Suzie." Paul Terlemezian, President, iFive Alliances and 2008 President, ASTD, Atlanta

"When I was considering a career change, Suzie provided me with a self assessment that led to many 'ah ha!' moments. The workplace motivators were very helpful since I tended to get frustrated in my jobs and I didn't know why. Since I reviewed the TriMetrix report, I'm more in tune with myself.

If a situation arises, I can address it with confidence. I feel like I've been able to look at myself from the outside in and can see what's important to me in my work environment and in life.

I couldn't figure out 'what I wanted to be when I grew up.' Suzie Price professionally and compassionately showed me the way. Suzie's positive attitude and can-do approach is very motivating. She keeps me inspired every time we talk about the path I'm on and where I'm going." Michelle Draschil, Interior Designer, Calico Corners

“We’re a fast-paced, growing company that works with clients such as FedEx Kinko’s, Disney and Target. One of the risks we face daily is with our hiring decisions. In a smaller company, one bad hire can have a widespread effect. Thanks to Suzie Price, we are making smarter and more educated hiring decisions.Suzie is extremely bright, upbeat, creative and responsive—a real go-getter.

She digs and checks every step of the way to make sure she’s meeting our needs and that we are completely satisfied. She facilitated an offsite multi-day strategic planning session. During the course of the meeting we recognized the need to change directions midstream. She stayed up late to accommodate those changes so we could start on a fresh path in the morning. The change was seamless to the participants, thanks to her hard efforts. It’s a joy to have her on our team.” Katherine Kyle, VP Human Resources EZ Prints, Inc.

"Suzie Price was an integral part of the key stages of LightYear Technology. First, she helped us double our sales team through candidate assessments, TriMetrix and benchmarking. Before Suzie, we were hiring the old-fashioned way with a few interviews, checking references and then going with our gut instincts. Her way proved much more effective. Then, she helped me manage the sales team and transition that responsibility to a new sales manager.

She facilitated team leadership meetings to get us all on the same page.

When we had a downturn in business, she provided valuable outplacement services. After I sold the company, Suzie helped me create a career transition plan which led to a very rewarding career in corporate performance and strategy consulting.Suzie is the best. She makes you feel good about yourself. She's honest and enthusiastic, reads people very well, and always delivers what she promises." Greg Barnett, Founder and Former President, LightYear Technology

"Every business has its own set of dysfunctions. It may be lack of communication or misinformation within and throughout departments, or mixed messages when it comes to a company's values or key initiatives. The business leaders who are willing to take their heads out of the sand and confront these issues are the ones who succeed.

An executive recruiter recommended Suzie Price because our management team couldn't agree on the best candidate to head up our marketing department. Suzie helped us develop a shared perspective so that we could make the right hiring decision. She used TriMetrix to define our key objectives for the role and create a benchmark.

Suzie is a joy to work with. She is skilled at honing in on the key issues, getting them on the table and confronting the emotions that are naturally inherent in this process without placing blame on anyone. From the way she approaches every challenge and her excellent follow up to keep us accountable, I know she genuinely cares about her clients and ispassionately committed to their success." John Borden, Former CEO of Lightyear Technology and Attorney/Partner of Trusted Counsel

"Thank you so much for all your help last week. You added a high level of professionalism and respect to an otherwise unpleasant process for all involved. We greatly value your services and moral support!" CEO, Technology Company

“Suzie is absolutely magnificent! She’s a consummate collaborator who often partners with other advisers and makes everyone feel good about their contribution to the success of the client. While she focuses on the content of the program, she never loses sight of meeting the client’s specific needs. She helps managers bring out the best in their people and teaches them the skills necessary to build a commitment-based organization, rather than a compliance-driven one. I trust her with my most valuable clients.” Bud Cummings, Jr., Principal and Senior Consultant, Professional Development Associates

“I learned so much from Suzie Price as an associate working on projects together. Suzie has a gift of combining her professional and technical skills with uncommon insight and passion. She has a zest for learning and generously shares what she knows with others. She listens well and truly hears what her clients are saying, then partners with them to guide them forward. At industry conferences and training sessions, Suzie is like a magnet, attracting other distributors who respect her knowledge and character.” Sherry Silverman, OwnerOdyssey Consulting Solutions

“I met Suzie through the recommendation of my sales trainer when she recognized I didn’t know how to hire people. Suzie developed core job descriptions, wrote our ads, helped select the top candidates and then personally assessed them. Every new hire has been right on.

I’ve been in business for more than 35 years and it’s only now that I feel like I have a sales team in place that is destined to succeed. I know Suzie keeps very busy with many clients but, when I speak with her, I always feel like I’m the only one.” Walter Eisenberg, Owner, Pearson’s Wine

"You were the right person to (facilitate) our meeting." VP Human Resources,Technology Company

"Suzie, I didn't want to let the week go by without saying how much I appreciated your being here. I don't think there was a single person who did not greatly benefit from your 2+ hours of "meaty" material. As I told you, just holding this group's attention on day three, and at the end of several grueling days of work, was not an easy task. But they were engaged and participated far beyond my expectations.

I truly believe it's due to your A+ delivery, easy going (and humorous) nature and of course, the richness of the content. The informal feedback I got from everyone was excellent, Suzie; I wanted to be sure you knew that! Thank you for your expertise, for your outstanding session and for helping us raise the bar on our interviewing skills. I hope to see you soon." VP Human Resources, National Technology Firm

"We enjoy working with Suzie because she’s full of energy, has strong leadership and communication skills, is organized and does a great job of “mining” issues to help in coming up with sound solutions for our team." L.E,. VPHR, mid-sized manufacturing company, Leadership development and team building programs

We received great value from this program. I appreciate the way you tailored the program to us. Thank you!" J. T., President, Mid-Size Manufacturing Company

"Suzie, I needed this learning and growth opportunity around the hiring process. I do not want to hire any more people from hell. I am still living with some past errors that haunt me. These skills and this process will help me get the right people on 'the bus'. Thank you!" Bill, Aviation Senior Leader

"We had an epiphany during the sharing exercise. We both realized why we've been at odds with each other, we each needed different things from each other. We now understand how to work together more effectively. This has been so helpful to our creating an effective working relationship." Mike and Ed, Two Senior Leaders, Aviation Industry

"Another exceptional program! You are terrific! The class absolutely adored your manner and class. Looking forward to our continued partnership in our Senior Leadership course and the other venues you have supported within FlightSafety."

"This was the best seminar we've had yet. It was interactive, meaningful and fun." Pat, Supervisor, Manufacturing Facility

"Thanks so much... the training was perfect in helping me 'share the vision'. We couldn't have scripted it better if we'd planned it! As usual- a GREAT job! There were lots of nods in our office...

The format was really great for being a 'quick and easy'- almost painless way to corral my folks into a training session! I appreciate it! We're moving forward with some of the tools you provided regarding the Interview planning. They have helped me with a 'missing link' in trying to make the team aware of the PLANNING portion of the interview time! So, once again-- THANKS! You're a great asset to OUR team! We appreciate you!" Vicki, Human Resources, Atlanta Design Build

"Our employees told us early on that they wanted a systematic process for training, and we have our own internal training programs for operations and customer care because we want our people to be successful. But we don't have specialized background in personality assessments and communication styles to help people learn how to hire, coach and motivate their employees and Suzie does." Jamie, CEO, Technology Company

“A new employee thought it would be a good idea to assess everyone’s personality and work style, so I contacted Suzie. The results were invaluable. Suzie coached us on how to work best with each other. Work became easier and people were much happier.

Suzie helped us take it to the next level by creating a matrix for matching personalities with positions. This way, we don’t make the mistake of hiring a ‘qualified’ numbers person who needs a lot of personal interaction. Another matrix helps make performance appraisals more objective by clearly communicating the most important parts of each position and how much time they should allot.

Some of my people had been spending too much time on what they perceived was important, but wasn’t. Now everyone knows what they need to do to be successful and our retention rate is better. Suzie is 100% focused on my needs and inspires me to be my best. I always feel good after meeting with her.” Victoria J. Braden, President/CEO, Braden Benefit Strategies, Inc.

"Thank you Suzie for working so well with us." Karen, Director, Kennesaw State University

"Students like these courses because they like the structure and the online component. The products are good for our organization because they provide consistency from class to class, quarter to quarter. We always know that our learning objectives are being met by using these materials.

The pre/post test also make this program qualify for VA funding.Suzie's service and support has been top notch. She is, without question, the most supportive vendor we have. I have always been able to reach Suzie, and she has always delivered goods and services as promised, on time and with professionalism. She is a dynamic person to know. She has made my job so much easier. I like Suzie best, because I know she is the greatest! Positive, caring, supportive, innovative!" Marilyn, Program Manager,Kennesaw State University
