We had thousands of customers across multiple markets (profit, non-profit, healthcare, education, government).

Below are several unsolicited shared thoughts on our work.

  • “The Lead Simply workshop was yesterday, and the participants loved it! The conversation was engaging, inspiring, and effortless. Thank you again for what you do. Your concepts make it easier (and more fun) for me to lead my team in an authentic and successful way!”

  • “I have been a manager for a number of years and cannot speak highly enough about your products. They are simplified and easy to learn and comprehend. I have used your products throughout my meetings in the past years and wanted to give you a simple thank you because of your products and what you and your team provide.”

    Victoria S., Liberty Mutual Insurance Company

  • “I had an annual kick-off meeting with my direct reports and broader team last week and we used the Cross The Line materials to open the agenda for the half day meeting. The material was a great lead-in and focal point for the team as we built out our goals and objectives for the year as a group. I plan on incorporating the ‘Smile & Move’ material later on in the year!”

    Ann Young, Talent Acquisition Sr. Manager

  • “It was about 4 years ago that I stumbled across InspireYourPeople.com and 212. What I can tell you is that is has made a significant difference in our High School. It is true that one extra degree can make all the difference. After the 212 roll out, we progressed to Smile and Move the next year ... immediately we saw Smovers make the choice to complain-less and give more.

    As educators we are inundated with buzz words, initiatives, mandates, and all sorts of other ‘stuff.’ What is most significant about InspireYourPeople.com material is the ability to make simple connections that stick and are readily embraced by all stakeholders. We noticed about six months in our 212 campaign that students starting to pick up on our mantra. That is how we knew we made a shift.

    We are looking forward to Cross the Line this year!”

    Mark Schultz, High School Principal

  • “I bought your book, Lead [simply]. I LOVED IT. I quickly purchased Smile & Move after. Our entire staff received Love Your People as a Christmas gift. All of your work at InspireYourPeople.com continues to have a positive impact on our staff.

    Our school was recently named a National Title I Distinguished School for closing the achievement gap. We want each student to read on grade level and pass the state standardized test. We are getting closer every year. Last year 84% of our students passed both parts of the state test. That is a 25% percent gain in two years.

    I don't believe that our students’ high achievement would be possible without our journey through your books. Your work inspires us to work harder, smarter, and happier. Now we are all trying to make good things happen for other people every day. Thank you for your enthusiastic example. It is positively impacting adults and students at Washington every day.”

    J.R. Ankenbruck, Principal at Washington Elementary School

  • “We used your Lead Simply material during our seasonal training last summer and it was great. The material has helped us move through a tough time into a place of positivity. 

    Our National Park Service unit had the best safety record recorded here during the 2020 summer season. 

    The engagement level of front-line staff after the course surprised park leadership. Some cool ideas and concepts began to flow from very unexpected people. Really super to have one concept, Lead Simply, add so much value to our organization. It improved safety, employee wellness, resiliency, and our overall ability to provide excellent public service with a smile. 

    I will be calling to have you kick off a meeting for us. 

    Thanks to you and your team!”
