Clients & Testimonials

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 Initiative, 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

Sample Program Evaluation comments:

“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.”

“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.”

“Linda is a great trainer who balances serious topics with real world examples and humor. She has helped me recently with my ‘emotional intelligence’, which was a very enlightening experience!”

— N. Bird, Web Analyst

“Dr. Ferguson is a superlative speaker, creative, critical and reflective thinker and develops immediate interaction and rapport with her audiences. I would describe her as a true scholar/practitioner. We have had her speak for ASTD and SHRM and received rave reviews on both the usefulness of her material, as well as her approach to her listeners. I have watched her tailor her programs to be effective to both specific and general needs.”

— Frank Dees, Managing Director Experi–ED Learning Concepts, and VA SHRM chapter Pres.

“On the several occasions that I have had the good fortune to work with Linda on projects for her company, I have experienced terrific results. Her personality and training approach is dynamic and results-oriented. She is one of the most positive and creative people I have worked with and I know that whatever we work on together, the participants will have fun and walk away with new tools every single time.”

— Abrina Schnurman–Crook, Director, Batten Leadership Institute
