Potentials' real accomplishment was to open our eyes to the creativity and potential of our own employees. --Executive Committee member, financial services company Potentials helped us to understand our employee and constituent concerns and needs. Potentials assisted us in developing a strategy that was tailored to our needs and guided us in successful implementation. --Senior Vice President, Fortune 50 financial service company Potentials is the first consulting organization that actually listened to us. Their ideas were tailored to our real organization needs and not simply pulled out of a textbook. --Gary Sullivan, Director of Corporate Communications, Swiss Re Potentials helped us develop the relationship skills that we needed to function as a team and, importantly, the business vision that would bind us together in a shared enterprise. --Executive Leadership Team member, Fortune 100 company Potentials made me much more aware of my impact on people both positively and negatively. My self-awareness is now much higher. I have learned how to give up some control and trust people. I believe people enjoy working with me and get a great deal of satisfaction in seeing their professional and personal growth. --Bob Harrington, consultant, former CFO, Wisconsin Tissue We weren't just handed a solution; we were coached towards developing our own. The results were more effective and valuable than anyone would have guessed. A real contribution to our business success. --Executive Committee member, Fortune 100 company Ann helps me mobilize the internal and external resources I need to get what I want, both professionally and personally. My salary is now more than double what it was when I first started working with Ann. --Major Account Executive, world's largest consumer electronic company Ann Van Eron's approach to executive coaching helped me focus on myself as a whole person. This focus in turn brought balance into my life. The end result being better results and much more satisfaction in my business and personal life. --Chief Financial Officer, multinational manufacturing company Ann Van Eron has strengthened my cognizance of the links between personal values and professional direction. She bolstered my spirits when I was a corporate vice president, and later she helped ease my transition into another career. She is everything I could ever expect to find in a coach. --Joseph Vranich, Spectrum Career Coaching Working with Potentials and Ann Van Eron has added value to my career as well as my personal life. Prior to working with Ann, my relationships in my career and my personal life were underdeveloped. Working with Ann has helped my communication and relationship building skills so that I am functioning at a much higher level and these skills are an asset. The benefits have been numerous including increased career opportunity. I gained valuable insight into how I may be able to help others grow through coaching… The importance of really listening to what others are saying without my own projection, suspending judgment and being open, being aware of my immediate assumptions are all very important ideas that will remain with me. You have an amazingly effective method to integrate abstract concepts with common sense and turn them into useful techniques. I really appreciate your teachings and will carry them with me for a long, long time. --Manager, U.S. government agency This was the best training program I have ever attended in my career. Ann has provided me with life/work coaching for an extended period of time and through some major career and life challenges and changes. She has a unique capability - she is able to "keep me honest" with myself about what I really want and need. I especially value her ability to gently nudge but also support me in my choices… Besides being a true partner in the coaching process, I believe that because of her extensive experience as a successful consultant and as a business owner, she has a grounded, effective approach that is unique to the profession. --Lynn Adams, consultant and coach, formerly with major consulting firm I've been to a number of training courses in my career. The biggest problem is how to use the ideas in the "real world." Potentials helped me to winnow the wheat from the chaff and implement concepts that made me more successful and productive. I am a better leader and see the difference in my team. Before Potentials, we didn't have a real team. We had a group of cranky individuals. --President, international manufacturing firm Potentials helped us to learn how to trust each other and not always try to position ourselves individually. Once the territories on the team were broken down we could start growing as a team. This provided the organization with consistent leadership. --Bob Harrington, consultant, former CFO, Wisconsin Tissue, Chesapeake Corporation Potentials has always been very flexible in meeting our leadership and training needs the past seven years. Ann Van Eron has designed and facilitated programs that are shifting the management culture of our organization worldwide to a more results-oriented, team-based, committed environment with stronger people management skills. Ann consistently delivers high quality programs that exceed expectations. We turn to her frequently for advice and new projects. --Carina Stern, Staff Development and Training, United Nations The OASIS model has improved communication and impacted the way managers interact with their staffs and each other. --Carina Stern, Staff Development and Training, United Nations I feel taller; the OASIS Model is fantastic. Tremendous impact. With OASIS, I am more confident that problems are resolved. Since our training, OASIS has been a part of my daily work. It will definitely help me in my daily working activities, and you can be sure that it will continue to be. --Workshop participant Things here in the office have never been better professionally and interpersonally…No doubt OASIS brought some dearly needed refreshment to an arid group that was the unit I work in. --Workshop participant OASIS can be applied to my family life, social life and workplace. I am finding that I go back to OASIS in trying to resolve anything, professionally and on a personal basis. --Workshop participant In spite of my initial skepticism, I found the whole exercise of great interest and certainly very useful. The models presented were clear and the whole structure of the course well designed to keep our interest focused and to make us participate actively and learn. --Workshop participant, manager, international organization I strongly believe that the program has changed my daily conduct and is benefiting the organization. --Workshop participant, manager, United Nations Judging from the evaluations of participants, the training is a solid investment in staff. …It is making a lasting contribution to the organization's efforts to revitalize the management culture. Both the content of the course and the presentation skills were of the highest standards I have seen or experienced. I know I am a much better person and manager now. … The course was a wonderful experience. --Workshop participant, not-for-profit organization I enjoyed the ease and equanimity with which you made the course enjoyable for the wide variety of people in the workshop. Personally, I just thought it was first rate. --Workshop participant, Wall Street firm I am grateful to have been a part of this program. For someone in an extremely problematic work situation, you showed me not only how to cope but how to rise above daily frustrations and actually improve conditions I had thought I was powerless to change.--Workshop participant, international organization I didn't want to be in the same room with my colleague. Now we are working together productively. Potentials facilitated an amazing process! Millions of dollars have been saved now that we are not duplicating processes. I have benefited personally.--CIO, Fortune 100 company We have gone from a situation where professionals didn't even speak to one another to a situation of collaboration and team effort. --Senior Vice President of Human Resources, Fortune 500 company Potentials was with us from the inception of our diversity initiatives, from framing the business case, assessing our employee needs through focus groups and a survey, developing a strategy and initiatives, implementing our plans, assessing impacts, and fine tuning. Our results with employees and customers has been dramatic. We couldn't have done It without Potentials as our partner. --Executive Team Member, Fortune 50 financial services organization. Ann Van Eron has been my coach...starting when I was a human resources executive, through a corporate acquisition, a career transition and startup of a new company. Throughout these changes and many challenges, Ann has helped me focus on who I really wanted to be and what I really wanted to accomplish...She helped me to see challenges as opportunities, called forth my creativity to build a new and better life and championed my increasing inner courage to tackle unprecedented projects and goals. ... I couldn't have done it without her. --Tom Davidson, CEO, Kinesis International.
