Here is what one of my customers says:
” Sonia was teaching staff development classes at the college when I met her. I had just became the first ever Dean of The Institute for the Culinary Arts. The number of staff and faculty was expanding greatly, student enrollment was growing 20% a year, and a new building was ready to open.
Although we were a group of highly skilled individuals, we were not a team. We did not have a clear common vision, mission statement, nor goals. Although we were all working hard as individuals, we were sometimes working against other members of the team.
Sonia has worked with us for 5 years. We now have a clear, well defined, common mission, defined values, and a consistent vision. All of the faculty and staff now understand the importance of valuing each other’s strengths. Sonia has not only worked with us as a group, but she has also worked with individuals to assist them to become true team members.
She has worked tirelessly to pull us together as a group, and understand our individual roles. Her excellent development classes, teamwork sessions, seminars, and retreats were what we needed.
Sonia insights and understanding of teamwork are second to none. Her classes and teaching style make people sit up and pay attention.”
–Jim Trebbien, Dean of the ICA Metropolitan Community College, Omaha, NE.
