Testimonials

“Lynne presented a fantastic presentation on Powerful Negotiations for our meeting this month. Attendees noted that the presentation topic was “spot on” for our group. Lynne offered both theoretical information, as well as practical steps we could use. In addition, her humor and the interactive nature of the presentation kept people engaged.”

“Lynne and her team have conducted several presentations for us as well as follow-up coaching. Even though they deal with difficult topics, they make the programs interesting and they engage and keep the interest of our employees. We are pleased with the results and the positive feedback we received from a broad spectrum of employees and manager.”

“In her keynote, ‘Working In A Time of Joblessness, ‘Lynne stressed the importance of investing in themselves as one would their own business: to embrace the training a company affords staff; read books, magazines, and other materials to stay informed on trends; and become computer literate. Since the conference, I’ve noticed a significant change in the willingness of some individuals to participate in training and an increased interest in Welfare Reform, their new role in it, and how to prepare.”

“Your session was very well received by the 200 plus who attended . . . standing room only I might add. Your topic “The Power of a Good Fight” was very current—businesswomen need these skills to excel and advance in today’s workplace. Your presentation was content-rich with outstanding take a-ways! If everyone implemented your recommendations, the workplace environment would be much improved. And your presentation skills were terrific—lots of energy, innovation and audience participation. What a woman!”

“Just a note of commendation on the excellent retreat you facilitated for our firm. Your grasp of the problems we needed to discuss, prior work preparing for the retreat, and your facilitation of the retreat were outstanding. Your ability to keep the discussion on track and to summarize in a concise manner the objectives we now need to implement all contributed to the success. You made it not only fruitful, but a fun day as well.”

“In my previous role, our organization used Lynne for a variety of interventions over the years including conflict resolution, investigations and prevention workshops. I’ve found her to be an engaging facilitator and speaker, who delivers more than she promises. Her legal background ensures that programs don’t create new problems. I would highly recommend Lynne and look forward to working with her again.”

“I rely on Lynne for efficient, effective and insightful investigations. When I need an independent investigator for that complex situation, my first call is to Lynne.”

“As someone who actively practiced law, Lynne has an extremely helpful perspective. This, combined with her methodical, intuitive approach, makes her uniquely helpful when investigating thorny issues and brainstorming solutions. She is my go-to resource.”

“Lynne’s presentation, “Leading Through the Storm: The Eagle Perspective,” provides practical strategies to counter the “perfect storm” that leaders face today. Leaders have many demands, but the most important is to direct an organization toward its future. Just as the eagle flies above a storm, Lynne shows leaders how to rise above the day-to-day pressures and point employees toward new business opportunities that are coming. I highly recommend this program for every leader and manager.”

“Lynne’s presentation was timely, pertinent, tactical, and motivating. She not only revealed a new perspective on what is happening and why we are feeling as we do in our present economic environment, she pointed out the opportunities and tactics. Lynne left us with at least eight things we can do right now!”

“Your book, presentation and presence created a memorable experience for us. Rarely, have I witnessed the level of interest, awareness, interaction, and openness achieved through your program. Many have said they found the concepts quite valuable, and are eager to put them into practice!”

““. . . it certainly had an impact on our leaders based on the feedback . . . The tools that you shared regarding conflict resolution will certainly be of great benefit in handling some of the difficult situations involving our employees.”

“While employed for Liberty Funds Group, I had the pleasure of participating in a customized Diversity workshop presented by Lynne Eisaguirre. Lynne’s efforts to learn our unique workplace and group of employees brought a real sense of credibility and trust during the workshop. Lynne’s presentation was engaging, collaborative, and every participant walked away with a wonderful sense of new perspectives that would later prove to be very valuable in our work environment!”

“Your presentation and ability to weave the themes of our retreat was excellent. It was a perfect reinforcement for so much of what we had been working with.”

“Lynne and her partner conducted a great session for our group. Everyone was happy with the result and commented that it was a difficult subject done well, much better than previous sessions they had attended. The leaders kept the energy going and made people comfortable. Harassment and discrimination can be a dry subject but they conducted the presentation with humor and created group interactions that went well. We look forward to having them return to Crocs.”

“Lynne Eisaguirre conducted a session with our top executives to focus on how to create a great culture for our company. Her careful work with us in planning the session paid off. Our leaders thought that the session flowed well, had great interactivity and accomplished our goals of creating values and a plan for execution. We will be planning our next session with Lynne soon.”

“Many firms provide workshops and other workplace training, but Lynne and her team lead the pack by providing fast paced sessions that keep people at all levels engaged and learning with their unique mix of trainer role plays, examples, and humor. Our participants always give them high marks. We have been working with Workplaces That Work for many years; the quality of the deliverable is outstanding each and every time.”

“The feedback from the retreat has been very positive and many have said they thought it was the best ever. Your presentation and your ability to weave the themes of our retreat was excellent. . . . it was a perfect reinforcement for so much of what we had been working with.”

Our employees always give their sessions high evaluations and look forward to their workshops, even on tough topics. We look forward to working with them in the future.”

“Fortune Financial is a private buyout company that actively manages a portfolio of eight diversified businesses ranging from two public retail chains to a private industrial products manufacturer. I’ve found The Power of a Good Fight to be a cost-effective way to train my managers in conflict issues. This book is applicable across all the lines of business and is a great resource.”

“Conflict arises even in the best places to work. [The Power of a Good Fight] presents real-life solutions for those who want to handle conflict in the most effective manner. I wish I had read this book earlier in my career before I stepped on a few land mines and learned some of these lessons the hard way, but it is never too late to learn to face difficult situations in creative ways.”

“The Power of a Good Fight is an essential text for any manager who wants to spend more time managing for results and less time breaking up fights. Lynne has created an easy-to-read map designed to help all of us become more effective in dealing with the inevitable conflicts that arise in the modern workplace.”
