PERFORMANCE COACH, TRAINER AND SPEAKER

My company, HOMER, an ed tech start up based in New York engaged Mandy as a Leadership Coach for our executive team a little over a year ago. Since that time, Mandy has received universal positive reviews from every one of our Managers. Her coaching has had a measurable impact on the team's ability to have direct conversations, create structures for accountability, and think strategically. All of which has positively impacted company performance. Coaching has been one of the most worthwhile investments HOMER has made to date.

I had grown so complacent with my ten year old business and was generally running out of creative steam. Mandy was just the shot in the arm my business needed. I am now holding myself and the people around me accountable. I found leads I didn’t know I had, hired a new sales person, and best of all, my sales are going up.  Before I hired Mandy, I had the feeling that my business was slipping away…. Now it’s: get out of my way or keep up. I’m going to hire Mandy again in four months to make sure I stay on task!  Thanks Mandy, for your insight, intelligence and generous spirit. You really know how to motivate.

Working with Mandy was a smart move I made to grow my business. As a new business owner I needed to start from the basics. Mandy helped me to hone my business story/message, reach out for speaking engagements, find ideal clients, price my services and much more.

Mandy not only kept me focused on my goals while supporting me when I bumped into road blocks, but she was there to remind me, each week, where I am now and where I want to be. This was priceless since I (as many other people) tend to “forget” my goals and where I want to take my business. Mandy sure knows how to help small business owners build there business. If it wasn’t for her guidance and support, I would probably still feel stuck and unsure of the right direction for my business.

Now I’m much more focused, results driven and clear about how to take my business to the next level and generate the income I desire!

I’ve been fortunate enough to benefit from Mandy Schumaker’s consulting on two critical areas of our business: human resources: specifically how we motivate and inspire our team, and ongoing leadership coaching for all members of our management team including myself. Both have made a significant positive impact on our business. The leadership coaching is one on one and has offered unique opportunities for both skills development and problem solving with each of the members of the team. The Human Resources workshops and action plans have impacted how we interact with our teams, measure performance and communicate with our team members. I could not be more pleased with the results and plan on continuing our investment with Mandy. I am abundantly grateful for her insights, experience, candor, and advice. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a strong, experienced consultant, coach and mentor. She is the best!

Meeting Mandy at a networking event was a stroke of great luck for my business. I was beginning my sixth year of operation and felt like I was losing steam with sales down 5% the previous year. I wasn’t a new business anymore and I felt I had exhausted my contacts and my inspiration. Mandy was so excited about the technology I offer and clearly had the intelligence and experience to be of great service to me. With Mandy’s help and insights, I contacted people on my chicken list. That led to successes which spurred me to work with more focus. She taught me how to find the “low-hanging fruit” and increase my sales with minimal effort. In a year that has seen job loss and foreclosures, my business has increased 15%. I’m happy for the gains and am excited for the future as my newly honed skills become solidified.

If your business isn’t quite where you want it to be and you’re not sure what to do about it, call Mandy. I recommend her enthusiastically, without hesitation or reservation.

Mandy has been a true asset to our business.

Her contagious, and positive energy helped breath new life into our insurance agency. With Mandy’s help, we were able to set clear expectations for our staff and have identified key traits to look for in new employees.

Mandy also helped us to create a company culture that not only attracts, but retains excellent talent.

With Mandy’s support, I was able to reach deep and recognize how my interpersonal interactions and communication style impacted my effectiveness as a leader. I attribute many of my successes and accomplishments this year to the highly effective coaching I’ve received.
