What Our Clients Have to Say
“Before Lee began our Management Training and Development
program, she did an assessment to establish what skills the participants
wanted to work on and the main results I wanted to see. I told
her that I would measure the program’s success by how much
of my time was freed up as the managers began to make more of their
own decisions. This was a goal we continually worked toward. Many
of the participants began to step up to the plate, as they gained
confidence and knowledge about how to be a better manager. I was
very pleased with no longer having to put out every fire.” Steve
Gonzales, Vice President, Technical Safety Services
“My seven regional managers attended Lee's one-day Manager’s
Boot Camp. I wanted the workshop to be fun as well as effective,
and it was that. The managers not only had a great time, but they
each came away with valuable new knowledge and tools. It's not
always easy to hold people's attention all day, especially when
they are at different levels of expertise. Lee had their full interest
and attention and left them wanting more. and ready to take on
their tasks with new knowledge.
Lee also did follow-up coaching with each manager to work on
a specific area of development. I see a daily improvement in the
way they manage their staff and time. We will certainly continue
to work with Lee as the need arises.” Michele Riley,
Vice President, Wells Fargo Bank
“The changes noted by myself and others were glowing. The
resulting understanding opened up new avenues of communication;
we are all communicating much better and we are being far more
sensitive to others in our workplace.” Samantha L.
Bloodhart, Owner, Sullivan Propeller Specialists
“You facilitated our workshop with sensitivity, skill and
a firm focus on achieving a positive outcome while remaining flexible.
One of the other reasons the training sessions worked is your commitment
to preparation. You absorbed the unique elements and culture of
our organization, including our Mission , Vision and Values, customer
service and emphasis on community. You found a way to translate
this information into a workshop that challenged us to be better.
Our staff is now on the way to resolving their issues in a collaborative
and effective manner.” Mark G. Deven, Assistant City Manager,
City of Concord
“Lee’s training was extremely well received. She scored
very high on her evaluations and several participants said it was
the best workshop they had ever attended. Prior to the training,
Lee contacted the participants to assess their needs and expectations
and was committed to delivering a meaningful learning
experience coupled with creating applicable class materials.
Based on Lee’s effectiveness, we have invited her back to
teach several workshops next semester. Lee's professionalism and
sense of humor make her a joy to work with.” Judi
Watkins, Program Coordinator, Regional Training Institute, Contra
Costa Community College District
“Lee's Boot Camp really helped to boost my confidence.
I came away with lots of good ideas: how to motivate my group,
how to communicate better, and how to set and reach goals. I am
really charged up to become a better leader.” Norman
M. Richardson, Regional Lease Manager, Wells Fargo Corporate Properties
Group
“I first started attending the Management Training and Development
workshops as a scheduler. Very quickly, I began to take on supervisory
responsibilities, and after about a year we reorganized the whole
Operations department. I was soon appointed Field Service Manager,
responsible for the regional field technicians and supervisors.
Lee was instrumental in helping us restructure the department,
and played a key role in coaching and supporting me through all
the changes.” Mark Lane , Field Service
Manager, Technical Safety Services
“Lee makes it a very personal, hands-on interactive training
session. We dealt with real problems regarding Vanpac’s issues,
not just hypothetical classroom issues. It was a very successful
set of training modules, and my managers grew and learned a lot
from it (I did, too ).” Tom Olsen, President, Vanpac
Carriers, Inc.
“The classes presented to my company were very professional
and well designed. Information was presented in an enthusiastic,
entertaining manner, and was very useful and practical. I highly
recommend PeoplePlus.” Sandra Jenkins, (former) HR
Manager, BEI
“Lee is in a class by herself. She works hard to get a good
understanding of what we are looking for, and constantly updates
herself as the position evolves. Lee offers value well beyond other
consultants I have worked with.” Scott Gordon, Hay
Management Group
“Working with Lee was a delightful experience. She is a
true professional and knows her business.” Lynn George,
Ernst and Young
“You provided us with wonderful sourcing, research, guidance
and negotiation. We are as pleased by the process as we are by
the result. The arts will continue to grow, with the able leadership

We hold you in high regard.” Joe Bologna, President,
Diablo Regional Arts Association, Board of Directors
