What clients say:
“Thank you so much for providing such an enlightening session for our Women's Leadership Initiative. This two day conference on Careers, Connections, and Confidence was greatly enhanced with your afternoon workshop on Leadership as Spiritual Service. The evaluations of our participants strongly agreed that this session provided useful information. Again many thanks for helping make this conference our best ever. I hope our paths cross again in the near future.”
- Jean Elliott, Director, Women's Leadership Inititive, College of Arts and Science, Virginia Tech
“Dr. Linda Ferguson’s presentation 'Path for Greatness: Work as Spiritual Service' is a refreshing look at the everyday opportunities each of us have for achieving greatness both spiritually and professionally regardless of one’s culture or religion. Linda’s practical, no frills, presentation style helped to focus the audience’s attention on a global view of a shared value structure that clearly illustrates ways to overcome communication barriers by identifying common interests and values that enhance both professional and personal relationships, as well as performance at work, home, and the community. I was wishing my entire staff could have been at the meeting to hear the presentation for themselves…instead they will just have to listen to me tell about it! Thanks again!”
- Michael Womack, ASTD Board Member
“Dr. Linda Ferguson recently engaged our group of workplace learning professionals in a thoughtful dialogue on spirituality in the workplace. Having facilitated similar discussions, I was particularly delighted with her method for creating a nonthreatening lens for exploring this sensitive and often neglected workplace performance issue. Linda's stories from her experiences with Southwest Airlines and Timberland gave her immediate credibilty with an audience of her peers, and helped bridge the gap between discussion and real world application. I was fully engaged throughout the workshop, and walked away with new insights about myself and my work.”
- Josh M., Organization Consultant/Trainer
What attendees say:
“Thank you for coming to give this workshop. I will search for future opportunities to hear you. I liked best my emancipation and how spirituality is redefined for me. I would recommend this to businesses, especially manufacturers. So many of our decisions are based on numbers and trend analysis.”
“This workshop provides a variety of ways through exercises and discussion to explore and expand personal definitions and understanding of what it means to be spiritual in the workplace. I would have liked a whole day to begin to envision the personal application more fully.”
“What was most valuable for me today was the part about dealing with difficult co-workers. It is a problem I am struggling with now. I feel like I actually got concrete ideas to help me deal with her and accept her for who she is.”
“You took a subject that could have either been a gripe session or touchy feely fluff and made it an opportunity for growth. Your workshop was excellent for me.”
“I love anecdotes and examples. It was a great combination of information, inspiration, great stories and valueable process. I appreciated the resources provided as well.”
“I want you to know that the class made a big difference in my life. You helped me find the strength and determination to find a way forward.”
