"thoughtLEADERS teaches the Structured Thought and Communications course for our leaders. The delivery style is very engaging. The methodology provides a logical step-by-step process for outlining a message. This course is a 'must' for those that want to influence others in a clear and concise manner."

– Senior Vice President, Human Resources, National City

"thoughtLEADERS helped Heinz Foodservice develop our best-ever Annual Operating Plan this year. Previous plans were often overly detailed, not consistent from section to section and lacked a sustaining central theme. thoughtLEADERS helped change all that this year. Because of their early input and guidance, our plan was shorter, contained a clear, central message and we received terrific feedback on the level of improvement seen in this year's plan. Thanks! We'll be back for more help."

- Vice President, Strategic Sales Services, H.J. Heinz Foodservice

"Our instructor was very receptive to participant feedback to meet our employees' learning needs and customized the course to our audience. He also consulted with cross-functional teams to apply the methodology introduced in the course and the teams greatly valued his feedback. I valued his timely responses and adaptability to meet our needs."

"I've been through a couple of strategic planning processes in my career that resulted with the usual mission, vision, and objectives that quickly ended up in a file drawer or on a shelf. However, thoughtLEADERS provided a straightforward process, a facilitator that was flexible but focused on the end goals, and the help we needed to identify our strategic goals.  More importantly, we identified the specific initiatives (including priority and timing) that will help us attain our goals. We now have a framework for evaluating future initiatives and furthering our plan beyond its current horizons. I highly recommend thoughtLEADERS' strategic planning program and facilitation!"

"thoughtLEADERS went beyond the originally defined scope and came in under budget. They performed a strategic review, made over 20 specific introductions to key C-level executives, and mapped future strategic inflection points for our company. They performed this work with little direction/oversight but stayed in constant communication with us. Phenomenal results, great insights, and valuable relationships."
