Testimonials

"Genuine, Inspirational, and Dynamic are three words I associate with Joni Goodman’s leadership and character. As the former VP of Finance for the Association for Talent Development (ATD) Houston, I worked closely with Joni, President of ATD Houston, to ensure the organization was fiscally sound, compliant, and responsible with Chapter resources. Joni’s passion and energy is contagious, influencing those around her to elevate their mood, and resulting in a palpable transformation of positive attitude among the team. She is a brilliant facilitator, contentious delegator, and a skilled communicator. When disagreements or other challenging situations arise, Joni is professional in her approach. She actively listens, draws upon her past experiences, life lessons, and natural intuition, and then confidently responds with sound, actionable advice. Leading with heartfelt sincerity, Joni’s selflessness and consistency in recognizing team and individual performance drives those around her to want to excel and realize their full potential. Joni Goodman would be an outstanding, motivational leader for any organization that values integrity, trust, and authenticity."

Our team had the unique opportunity to take part in a 3-part series of Management Essentials courses to a mixed group of current leadership and future leaders.  Right from the start of the course series, she created a connection between the group. It was a 3-part series, but the underlying foundation of each class had a common connection rooted in the key aspects of career development and growth, and furthermore -- personal growth.  Her powerful communication and presentation resonated and foster a bond between our mixed group, spark a synergy, and brought deep understanding of the virtues of becoming a strong leader, and the logistics of becoming a great one.  Joni's ability to 'see' and understand others is what makes her a true leader in the career development space. We were grateful to have the opportunity to meet and receive her coaching.  I highly recommend Joni for her career coaching and development. Her lessons are one that will reverberate long into our futures.

"Joni is a true professional and extremely organized. She trains her sales teams in the clinical aspects with excellence, knowledge and with a good sense of communication which is important for the customer relationships. My 25 engineers were all trained by Joni and it helped them tremendously in the field with customers. Because of this excellence I believe that Joni's curriculum design, technique of training and selling is superior. Joni also organized all the Hologic sales meetings and shows which involved coordinating several hundred reps, engineers, KOLs and top managers to be productive at theses events. Joni can manage up and across a matrix organization with ease. I highly recommend Joni for any opportunity related to sales, sales training or sales management."
