“I have found that the greatest success (and my own personal reward) comes from motivating each individual so that collectively as a whole, the organization prospers. I have a favorite saying “We are all in life together;” I truly believe that we profoundly affect one another and that we should conduct ourselves and our businesses, in such a way, that we have a positive impact on one another.”.

“Shirlene worked for a number of years with NWEA and was a key facilitator, coach and trainer for our landmark and long-term management development program. She partnered with us from the beginning and was the constant through the early years and helped us successfully transition and mature the program to be able to sustain itself and become internally led. She trained over 100 managers for our organization over 5 years in an intensive skill-based and values-based management development program and brought our managers to a new level in this organization that is paying dividends and where we have seen a real shift in our culture, performance management and staff engagement. She is a knowledgeable, dedicated, creative and a gifted facilitator/coach/trainer. She is a person with high integrity and brings great value in the work she does. She makes people and organizations better. We would not be where we are today in our organizational maturity without Shirlene. She coached two of my team over a year to prepare them to continue and sustain this program to be internally led and the program is continuing to do well and thrive as a result of her care and attention.”
