"When a colleague suggested that my pharmaceutical sales team might benefit from training given by a sports coach trainer, I have to admit I was somewhat sceptical. I then read your book "Champion Thoughts, Champion Feelings" and was struck by the applicability of your concepts to the challenges my team faced in their day to day job. Apart from that I was looking to "coach" my team at an upcoming sales meeting on Accountability, both personal and promotional, and I could see an excellent opportunity to combine the two concepts and deliver a powerful message.

Your 4 hour session delivering the 7 steps of SUCCESS was outstanding and a worthwhile investment of time. You have the ability to lead the group in discussion that allows for a free flow of ideas culminating in a clear understanding of what it takes to be truly successful in our personal and business lives. This is where I believe your course differs from many others, you keep the pace going, you keep the energy high and most importantly your training style carries people with you in their journey to set meaningful goals that will make a difference. Since your training session 2 weeks ago, many of my team have talked to me about what they are now doing differently and how much better focused they are on achieving sales goals, with the additional spin off of better home lives!!

Jeffrey, I want to thank you for spending those valuable hours with us and imparting the wisdom that I believe will allow us to achieve and succeed at a higher level than before and I look forward to building on this with you as you present further concepts to the team. I would and will recommend you to anyone looking for an edge in running today's business teams. Kind regards"

"Women in Management recommend Jeffrey Hodges as an intelligent, dynamic and motivated facilitator. In facilitating the workshop for WIM, Jeffrey adopted a very 'hand on' approach - actively involving the audience in developing their skills and understanding of the topic. His delivery was creative, yet focused on the content and aim of providing participants with 'take home' tools. The success of the workshop was indicated by the positive feedback received from participants and the request for similar workshops in the future."

Lyn Russell, President WIM, Australian Institute of Management.

"Your session on Creating Rapport was very well received by all who attended.
The easy to implement strategies for improving the communication skills of our organisation will be of benefit to our staff in the future, and the interactive workshop style of your presentation allowed each participant to walk away with
the benefit of greater understanding. Our managers across Australasia were very excited and it was the topic of conversation that night at the dinner table. I recommend the session to any company or individual wanting to develop more powerful relationships."

Scott Groves, Australasian Training & Development Manager, Niagara Therapy Manufacturing.
