Client Testimonials “The progress my company and team have made is dramatic. We communicate more effectively, resolve issues faster, and are excited to come to work because we have put a team mentality in place. Catherine has taught me how to understand others’ views. In the past, I was very direct, and my message often fell on deaf ears, but now with Catherine’s coaching, I have improved my delivery, and I see increased support and understanding. I have cemented better relationships with my team and find that our employees are growing in line with company goals. In this tough economy, it would be hard to imagine that any company is doing well and expanding its objectives, but we are. I can’t tell you how much I owe to Catherine for her help, both personally and professionally. With Catherine on your side, you can actually say that the sky’s the limit.” David J. Lee CEO, IT Technology “With Carlisi Consulting Group’s “Success Insights” assessment process, we have hired some of the best salespeople in the industry. Catherine has superb insight into human nature and can tell how people will fit with our company’s culture.”” Alan Sguigna VP, Sales and Marketing, ASSET InterTech, Inc. “I run a peer group advisory board for the owners and CEOs of small businesses. Catherine has spoken to my group more frequently than any other resource I’ve invited in. She is an expert at what my members feel to be their biggest challenge: choosing, motivating, and growing their people into becoming the company’s most effective competitive advantage. During almost every monthly meeting, as least one member will either quote something Catherine told them or refer Catherine to another member as their best resource for resolving tough people problems. The members of my Board are achieving superior business results and Catherine is one of the important reasons for their success.” David F. Hurwitt President, Renaissance Executive Forums “I have known Catherine Carlisi for many years and have witnessed firsthand her skill in coaching and developing others. We have used her services in a variety of ways. She has conducted Talent Skills Inventory assessments for key hires at our organization. Her understanding of this tool and skill in interpreting the results has been invaluable in helping us make the right hiring decisions. Catherine has a tremendous ability to navigate through difficult situations and bring people to resolution. I have witnessed her work firsthand in facilitating difficult conversations involving teams of individuals who needed to resolve issues that were getting in the way of their work. Dealing with team dynamics is one of her strong suits. She has also done tremendous work with one-on-one coaching at the senior levels of our organization. Catherine has been instrumental in helping several staff members reach greater potential. She has been an asset to our organization and we are grateful for the opportunity to continue working with her.” Elizabeth Rudden Vice-President, Human Resources, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center “All leaders have good intentions, but it is our actions that generate results. Working with Catherine has increased my ability to influence people at all levels within the organization and generate better results, particularly when leading change initiatives. Catherine’s insights and invaluable skills enabled me to make immediate changes and become a more effective leader.” Carol Larco-Murzyn, Ph.D. Vice-President, LIMRA and LOMA Marketing “I have used Catherine Carlisi as a resource for our human resource and coaching and training needs at Tabar for several years now. Catherine has helped us with educational training on a company-wide level, as well as individual coaching and training projects. She has presented various topics to my staff in both our Connecticut as well as Washington State locations and has also interacted with our office in Hong Kong. Catherine has become part of the Tabar family, earning the trust and respect from my desk as President to senior management, as well as junior-level employees. Catherine brings a very valuable service to us. Her experience with conflict management and resolution, success coaching, disc assessments, and other key human resources subjects has helped unify and strengthen our organization from the top down, as well as from the bottom up. We consider ourselves fortunate to have found her, and we look forward to maintaining our relationship. I would not hesitate to engage her services again as needed, as well as recommend her form to anyone in need of her unique approach to helping firms manage their most important assets: The people they employ.” Gary Schloss President, Tabar, Inc. “Over the past six years, I have been lucky to have had coaching and training with Catherine Carlisi. Catherine has been instrumental not only in my company’s growth, but also in my own personal and professional growth. I started with the company in an administrative role, earned several promotions within a short time, and now lead the marketing and client development department, with a staff of four to assist me in helping our company excel. Through Catherine’s coaching, I’ve been able to promote excellent working relationships at every level of the organization, gain the confidence of the organization’s leaders, and achieve excellent results. Catherine has proven to be a positive fulcrum for change. Whether she is assisting individuals or teams, you can expect rapid solutions and a close-to-immediate, positive response.” Jill Carcia Director, Client Development and Marketing, Solidus “I wouldn’t think of hiring without the valuable assessment tools Catherine has used within our company. They not only help us with hiring the right person for each position, but are also very comprehensive for teambuilding, professional development, and staff management.” Jill Carcia Director, Client Development and Marketing, Solidus “In the past, miscommunications and internal friction distracted us from becoming the highly effective team we needed to be. Catherine’s talents have led to a dramatic improvement throughout our entire company, from top management to field personnel and high-performance sales teams. Her most recent success was coaching a high-stress, conflicted-ridden team to help them achieve better understanding, improved communication, and renegotiated working relationships for unprecedented levels of collaboration. Catherine has my full endorsement because she gets great results fast.” Mark Charette CEO, Solidus “Since I began coaching with Catherine, my ability to influence at all levels of the organization has improved dramatically. The CEO and COO now seek me out for insights on business challenges and tell me (and others!) how much they value my new wisdom and objectivity. This is particularly significant, since we’d had some serious differences in the past, and I wasn’t sure I’d even continue working at the organization. I’m more effective at helping others on the team, and I’m proud of the contributions I’m able to make by passing on my learning to them. The investment in my coaching with Catherine has paid dividends for all of us. Here’s an excerpt from an email one of my staff members sent about me recently: ‘Gina has been such a tremendous help in my assimilation as a leader here at ITTech, always ready with an encouraging word or thought on how to approach an issue or situation. I have told Gina several times that she…has created a ‘safe’ place, where I can grow these new and strange skills that very often feel foreign and unnatural.. She has given me a resource that I have 100% comfort in going to, should something come up that requires a decision where I am unsure. ” Gina Fedeli Director of Operations, ITTechnology “The bottom line is that the accountability of our employees has improved dramatically since we started working with Catherine. Not only is she able to identify overall traits that we are looking for, but she is also able to hone in on individuals who will fit in well with a particular team. Catherine also has the unique ability to identify factors that inhibit team progress and to coach individuals and teams through these issues so they can move forward more productively.” Bob Luther CEO, Lex Products Corp. “A colleague referred me to Catherine Carlisi when I was appointed to a senior leadership position at a large public organization, and I have worked with her now for almost a decade. Catherine’s coaching has had a direct impact on my personal and business success, as well as on my ability to be flexible and resilient in the corporate environment. Her work has been instrumental in developing my leadership skills and in helping me develop other leaders within the company. Catherine has helped us in a number of other areas, too. She is an expert at working with leaders and teams to resolve tough personnel conflict situations. The assessment processes she uses are key in helping us identify top talent and place top performers in the right positions, so we can achieve the best ‘people ROI’ possible.” Kim McGillicuddy CPCU, COO, Pierson & Smith, Inc. “I have worked with Catherine Carlisi for over two years now, and I can say, without exaggeration, that she had transformed the people side of my business. We now have a highly motivated, empowered, and capable staff, with everyone in the right roles and knowing clearly what is expected of them. Catherine has been involved in all of our recruiting efforts and approves all new hires. She has coached me on managing and empowering a team and, when needed, works closely with our managers on overcoming their departmental staffing challenges and conflicts. I would highly recommend Catherine to any company – large or small – that wants to master the skills needed to recruit, manage, and motivate employees.” David Gooding CEO, Juliska “I first heard about Catherine Carlisi in meetings of my executive group – a dynamic gathering of a dozen small business owners where we share and discuss problems. Members talked about Catherine and her talents as a human resources wizard, and I became eager to meet her. My company hired Catherine to help us resolve our ongoing problems with communication among the members of our management team. With Catherine’s guidance, we learned about ourselves, and we acquired skills that help us handle differences within the team. We now work together more efficiently, we’re much more productive, and we communicate easily. Catherine also helped two of our key employees learn how to be more flexible with others and how to improve communication and morale on the work floor. After completing the sessions with Catherine, these two employees became better managers, a very worthwhile return on our investment.” Norman Birk President, Birk Manufacturing, Inc. “Last summer, when sales volumes and stress levels were high, communications broke down among the members of my sales team. It was apparent to me that we could not grow revenues beyond the current level unless we fixed this problem. I hired Catherine Carlisi to help us get to the root of the dysfunction and to straighten out our processes. Catherine’s approach involved all team members – sales and support. She taught us that different teams have different issues, and we learned to air our issues and correct misconceptions. She also helped us establish new ways to communicate going forward. Catherine’s work had even the ‘old school’ crowd praising the value of her coaching process and, more important, the results.” Mark McElrath Vice-president, Furniture Sales, Solidus “I am extremely thankful for all that Tabar has given me over the years, including the opportunity to work with Catherine Carlisi. I learned a lot about myself and about working with dramatically different personality types. Almost daily, I think about what I learned from Catherine and how it has directly contributed to successes in my career and my personal life. Catherine and I have become friends through our work together. I value our connection and hope to remain in contact with her for many years to come.” Jason Ling Tabar, Inc. |
