PERFORMANCE COACH, TRAINER AND SPEAKER

Before working with Mandy, I was ready to give up a bunch of long time clients because I was feeling overwhelmed with my workload. Since working with Mandy, I have not only regained peace of mind enough to stick with the clients who have been loyal to me, but also the confidence to take on even more work without feeling stressed.

With her constant support and fresh ideas for solving old problems, I met my previous challenges head on: I got my bookkeeping in order; regained focus and excitement for the direction I wanted to be heading; found clarity concerning my work relationships.

I am ever so grateful to Mandy for her careful listening and her easy ability for solutions. She helped me listen better myself to my own needs and dreams for my business and reminded me of my favorite part of having my own business—getting to be the creator! Thank you, Mandy.

My entire attitude about my business has changed since I met Mandy. More importantly my attitude about myself has changed as well.

I was never able to say "No" to my clients, charities, or anyone that asked for a favor. I put everyone before myself. This left me working 16 hours a day, seven days a week. Mandy taught me how to value my personal time while remaining responsible to my clients. The shift for them has been a little difficult, but the 6am and 10pm calls have stopped. I now select the organizations to which I donate my time, I have set office hours, and I make time for my friends. I am healthier, happier, and much more productive. Now I am excited about my work and I truly enjoy my time with friends and family without my former guilt.

I cannot say enough about Mandy's insight, humor, and genuine dedication to understanding each client's individual needs.

When I asked Mandy if she was comfortable coaching two owners who were just launching their company, she said she was up for the challenge. I have a high D type personality and have very high expectations of people and Mandy exceeded my expectations!

I feel that Mandy gave my partner and I the tools to work with each time we met, to keep us focused on our vision.

I’ve been fortunate enough to benefit from Mandy Schumaker’s consulting on two critical areas of our business: human resources: specifically how we motivate and inspire our team, and ongoing leadership coaching for all members of our management team including myself. Both have made a significant positive impact on our business. The leadership coaching is one on one and has offered unique opportunities for both skills development and problem solving with each of the members of the team. The Human Resources workshops and action plans have impacted how we interact with our teams, measure performance and communicate with our team members. I could not be more pleased with the results and plan on continuing our investment with Mandy. I am abundantly grateful for her insights, experience, candor, and advice. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a strong, experienced consultant, coach and mentor. She is the best!

She knows business and has practical suggestions to help me in places where I struggle, and gives me confidence to keep moving forward. Mandy helps me confront my biggest challenges, keeps me focused and helps me achieve the goals and vision for my business!

I am setting up a completely new business in a new field. I am a business “virgin”. I knew I wanted and needed business coaching. Initially I was attracted to Mandy because of her obvious and compelling honesty and no nonsense style. She is clearly passionate about what she does but in my view passion alone is not enough. There has to be purpose and professionalism in the passion – and Mandy has all of these qualities – and more.

Mandy has excellent coaching skills – she is a great listener. But she doesn’t stop there! She really encouraged me to think big, to go as far as I think I can, to think of other ways to draw in clients and develop a client base. It is exciting and creative to work with Mandy. But above all what I am grateful for has been Mandy’s great coaching and ideas in the arena of planning and scheduling and on pinning everything down with clear, well structured, well thought out schedules and plans. Mandy provides the framework for me to work with. This has focused my efforts, lead to less time wasting and more action.

Also I find Mandy to be an excellent role model. She is clearly very organized herself and has worked on developing great systems to run her own business. She is very generous in sharing all sorts of useful contacts and ideas.

I have still got a long way to go but I feel confident that thanks to Mandy Schumaker’s solid foundations I will have a good chance of achieving my goals. Without this support I would not be feeling as optimistic as I do, nor as determined, nor as well equipped for the hard work that lies ahead.

I’m so grateful for Mandy!  She’s given me a new focus and direction for Star Polisher that feels really, really good!  I’m so excited about my business again and inspired to make the commitment and go forward!

Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!
