PBI
helped me step by step through the process of developing a strategic
plan for our training and certification program, which had remained
relatively unchanged for the last 40 years. I feel confident now
that we have a clear vision of where we want to be and a solid plan
for getting there.

Jeff (PBI)
opened a whole new vision of the purpose and context of training.
He also provided a set of simple tools and procedures to focus this
training on improving the workforces performance toward business
goals. The result is relevant business training that is more likely
to powerfully enhance the bottom line of any organization.

As a result
of PBIs focused attention, Innerbase has been able to overcome
numerous hurdles in creating a high performance workplace. The Corporate
Vision that PBI helped us develop is being lived every day
so much so that the written version is only referred to occasionally.
The result has been 0% voluntary turnover during the past 17 months
and an average of approximately 2% in the preceding 2 years.

The series
of executive coaching sessions I had with Jeff Parks was extremely
beneficial. I found great value in engaging in open and thoughtful
discussions regarding ways to enhance personal and professional
effectiveness in the work environment. I now have a more comfortable
feeling about doing what I think is right, trusting my instincts,
and going for it.

The impact
of the coaching has affected both the staff and myself. Feedback
from staff indicates that I am more approachable, more inclusive,
and more patient with questions and explanations. The staff feels
more a part of the company and that I have their best interests
in mind. As for myself, I feel less stress and more relaxed.
