What our clients say:

In general:

“Meg Ellis possesses the rare, combined talent of laser focus and radiant warmth; she brings a passion and rigor to her work rarely found in outside consultants—usually they want to tell you what they know, but Meg inspires learning by coming to the place where learning needs to be, which is, in the minds and hearts of the learner. All of my Human Resources business partners have now been through the MBTI qualification program and Meg was a hit each time! I welcome the opportunity to work with her again.

Christine Barnes, Director, Global Organization Learning and Development

About Presentation Skills:

“My session with you yesterday was the best speaking training I’ve ever had. I’ve spent much time since then thinking about it.

I think it was good for two reasons. First, it’s obvious to me that you have a good (intuitive?) sense of what a general audience wants to hear and how they prefer to hear it. Second, you zero in well on why and how I need to change both content and presentation techniques to meet these audience needs and preferences.” Pamela Armstrong, author of Surviving Healthcare, which received 2 national publishing 2005 awards as the top book in the healthcare field.

“It was evident that Meg indeed had experience in presenting. I found her to be friendly, poised, and confident. She made the class more effective and allowed everyone to be comfortable in an usually uncomfortable situation.” Robert Mondavi Winery participant

About team off-sites:
Comments from a VP 5 weeks after his team’s offsite:

...Two individuals on the team who were not collaborating or communicating effectively prior to the team session have made significant improvement in both areas
...The team has made a vast change in the way they are conducting meetings…far more effective and efficient
...The offsite contributed to the retention and satisfaction of a new team member
...The ladder of influence model has been adopted, and reinforced…as a powerful self-knowledge and communication tool.
...The team has started using the Interaction Styles model to improve understanding and communication.
...The listening skills introduced in the team session are being reinforced in the new meetings process.
...Meg’s design of the session and her ability to facilitate are stellar and he would not hesitate to ask her to do work for his team again or to recommend her to others.
