In the words of our attendees...
Strategies Mastery - Group 1 (Jan. - Oct. 2007)
"Here, Here! I've done a lot of things over my (soon to be) 50 years ... and I can honestly say, this has been one of the most educational, insightful ... and yes, sometimes confronting, adventures I have ever undertaken ... I bask in the appreciation of our time together ... and the rewards have been such an amazing return on my investment ... I'm honored to be a member of the first graduating class ..."
Terrence McKee - Nuovo Salon Group - Sarasota, FL
"Thank You! I loved the class this last year - it has been super powerful and fulfilling and dynamic. Thank you to each and everyone of the attendees and the Strategies team. It truly has been a journey to remember, one that I will continue forward on. Hugs to you all. :)"
Gretchen Froelich Scott - Gretchen Scott Salon - Woodinville, WA
"I wanted to send a note to you, being honest and all, I wanted to apologize for leaving quickly yesterday ... and the reason for my dashing off ... was not that I had an important engagement ... but I was afraid that I would start crying (like I'm doing now just writing this) I didn't want to take a happy moment and start everyone up again. You have all touched me so deeply you'll never know ... You saw me at my absolute lowest time in my life and the beginning of a new start.
My gratitude runs deep!!!"
Linda Crawford - Dimensions, Design and Wellness Studio - Carver, MA

"I wanted to tell you that Incubator was amazing for us. Best education I have ever been to, and believe me there is not much we haven't been to in 15 years. Thanks a lot. I definitely want to continue my education with Strategies and involve other staff in some specific Strategies training."
Nica Hampton - Natural Alternatives - Knoxville, TN
"I just wanted to pass along to you, ... a very big THANK YOU for all your tremendous work this past week! I cannot tell you how much the seminar has helped refocus our goals and give us a GREATER hope for the future! Tremendous! TREMENDOUS work! We both are very much looking forward to coming back in April for SBS 4.0!"
Emmanuel Paul - Jeffrey Paul Inc. - Rocky River, OH
"Just a note to thank you guys again for an incredible Incubator...It took everything we had (and a lot of nudging from Neil) to get us there ... and ... (yes Neil) having experienced this, we can't imagine having missed it! You made our year. What an incredible anniversary gift and starting place for our NEXT twenty years!"

General Comments about Strategies Seminars
"Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have a better life. For me, Strategies and the people who make up its core, are my beacon in the night. Because of you, I know that my future is only limited by my visions of the future of my company. I thank you for staying the course, spitting in the wind and going beyond conventional means with our industry so that we all now know there is a better way."
Robin Gribbin - YOU Salon, Inc. - Ellicott City, MD
"Strategies instructors and coaches have helped us to get control back of our business and to operate our business in a different way. Through that process, we have found ourselves moving toward "true quality" in everything that we do. The results that have followed have been increased bottom line profits, a positive cash flow, and a healthier, stronger organization."
Chris Murphy - Maximum FX Salon and Spa - Austin, TX
"Since returning from your class, I have implemented many changes, mostly within myself. I have personified the SHIFT rule of 10 percent positive change per day, and it feels great to see people mirroring my example. The bridge exercise proved most valuable. I don't know if I get a crazy thrill from removing Post-It notes or if I just needed a map to get me from A to B, but it is working."
