Dave Olson, Metro Sales "When I started with Judy I had been selling in the corporate world for about 10 years. My performance had dropped off and I was becoming unhappy with my job. My company offered to invest in me through coaching and I jumped at the chance. In 6 short months with Judy I achieved every goal I had set out for myself. I increased my sales performance by over 44%, I became a positive personality on the sales team, I bought my dream house and we are pregnant with our second child. And I’m not working any harder, I’m just having more fun doing what I do. AND best of all she taught me ways that I can continue to achieve these results on my own."

"If you would have asked me a year ago if I would consider hiring a coach for my business, the answer would have been a big no. After working with Judy, I have to say it’s the BEST investment ever. I sleep soundly at night, my business has grown and me, the non-sales guy, looks forward to doing sales!! I love my business. What more could I ask for?"
   
Timberwolves Sales Team "We started working with Judy during a summer when it was tough to be selling Timberwolves tickets. She helped us stay focused on the positive even when those around us weren’t. She provided tools that kept our energy focused on what we wanted to accomplish. Our confidence and ability to stay on task increased and we hit our sales goals in a tough selling climate."

Bob McClain, WordsmithBob.com "Just a quick thank you for all the “positive perception” processes you taught me when my business seemed at the bottom. Things are really starting to take off and, while I’m willing to take credit for the work I did to turn things around, I know the methods you taught me (and our regular “pep talks” you gave me) kept me plugging away when everyone was telling me to quit (including me). Thanks to your efforts, I was able to recognize what was happening when everyone else was being negative.Thanks again, Judy. I will continue to use your teachings to keep me on top of my game."

"Prior to taking Judy’s class, I was my own worst enemy and hardest critic, now I am my best sales person and while still tough and expect a lot of myself I am kinder and gentler with me. I am my greatest asset!!! My business is going crazy and continues daily with repeat clients ready and more and new referrals. I am putting out such positive energy, it is all coming back to me in an amazing way. Thank you, thank you!!"
   
Jeff Teresi, Cutco Sales "Judy's workshop was a blast. You definitely learn a lot and come away with tons of practical tools to use everyday for the rest of your life. If you're hesitant to try it out, possibly thinking you don't have the time or the money, don't be! It's worth the investment and you'll be glad you did!!"

Carla Kjellberg, VillageTalkRadio.com "Like a lot of people I know, I had demons from childhood haunt my professional life. Therapy had allowed me to succeed, but not to my full potential and with a lot of extra energy and work. Working with Judy for just a short period of time allowed me to put simple belief systems in place, which created a miracle. I never really thought I could walk completely away from those demons. Judy allowed me to walk away and close the door."

Result:
Went from having a show on one radio station to six stations

Renee Willee, Manager “I was looking for another job when I started coaching with Judy. She uncovered the reason I wanted to change jobs was because I was experiencing difficult work relationships. Through working with Judy I transformed my relationships. Nine months ago I would never have believed I could experience these relationships without interpersonal stress but I am. I gained a sense of power. By changing my thoughts and my feelings I was able to transform relationships that had been filled with daily tension.”

"While taking Judy’s class I became more focused, moving into each day with choice and intention (instead of being reactive). I found myself working smarter not harder. I got a small community of people who were, amazingly, struggling and being victorious with the same things I was. Best of all, I got more peace and joy in each moment."
   
Joel Robeson, Pianist “When all is said and done, the greatest gift you give is to be that person that LISTENS non-judgementally. Secondarily, your ability to remind me to focus on my goals and objectives. When I do that I remember that I CAN do this. Then, as all good coaches do, you pat me on the back and send me right back into the game to score the winning touchdown. Through coaching with you I have come to realize the full power I have in every situation in my life.  I now feel a calm and confidence that I never had before.  My sessions with you have been the "rudder" to my boat as well as the wind in my sails.”

Result:
Income that quadrupled
Empowerment
Confidence

"As a tax accountant, I’m trained to anticipate and look for problems for my clients. In working with Judy, I discovered that my training in focusing on what might go wrong carried into my own business life to the extent that I wasn’t taking advantage of opportunities that came my way. I would second guess myself and worry about what might go wrong. Working with Judy I was able to increase my company’s revenue’s by 25%, improve my relationship with my son and feel at ease with making decisions that I knew were good for me."

Result:
Increased company income by 25%
Improved relationship with son
Felt organized in my office
Worried less

Pam Prosser, Homeopathic Services “Never having had a coach before, I wondered what the value would be to me in my practice.  In talking to Judy regularly, I was able to get clear not only on what I was out to produce in my business, but I also gained valuable ways to measure my results.  I began to discover new ways of looking at my business.  We could meet one week and before our next session I was in action to produce the results I wanted.  Judy has a unique way of helping me see what's missing and what I can do to accomplish it”.

Result:
New business increase of 100%
Breakthroughs of old thought patterns

"Judy, I want to tell you what a wonderful learning experience I had while participating in this journey.You have given me a very effective methodology to help me identify exactly what I want, how I’ll feel when I get it and a very great process for enhancing my efforts for attaining all of my goals. I’ve learned to throw off those disabling encumbrances caused by irrational beliefs, and negative thought patterns. I’m making great progress building my new life and new business venture. Your teachings have definitely led me to enablement - I can see my way to living the life I really want. I’ll be practicing everyday and growing as a result. You are there with me and I really love that. Thank you so very much."

   
Bill Pankonin, EXIT Pankonin Realty "For me Judy is a cross between my biggest cheerleader and my biggest challenger. Some days she cheers me on and other days she asks me questions that make me uncomfortable because they remind me that I’ve gotten off track in some area. She often reminds me that I’m doing much better and have accomplished more than I realized. After a call with Judy I feel re-focused and ready to get back in the game and I almost always have a new idea to implement."

Result:
Creation of multi-state real estate company – legacy for my family.

Lisa Evans “I learned to look at the world in a different way. I started to give myself and others a break. I had always been so task driven that I often didn’t have time left for many people in my life. With Judy I learned that I could have time for people, which brought more fun into my life and that in turn helped get the tasks accomplished more easily. This improved my enjoyment level with sales as well as the actual sales outcome. I know there’s still more to come – we really just got started.”

Result:
Improved enjoyment of relationships at home and at work
Improved satisfaction on the job
