I am so grateful we had the opportunity to have Christine join our Ambulatory Services leadership group to present PeopleMap training. I have had wonderful feedback from many involved; the managers really did find the program useful. I plan to follow up and inquire about what they would like to see as the next steps for ongoing training....–Nancy Daoust Fache, Associate Administrator Ambulatory Services at SUNY Upstate Medical University

We initially hired Chris for help with succession planning for our family business. Through her skillful use of the PeopleMap training and assessment and facilitation of team and family meetings, we were able to make key decisions in planning our future direction including hiring new staff, to establish greatly needed systems and procedures, to improve communication and the mood of the work environment generally, and to take beginning steps to a phased-retirement. Our business has increased its productivity, efficiency, and has new found positive energy. 
It has been a push forward for our family and our staff that will carryover to the growth and re-tooling of our business. –Carolyn Kyle, Vice President at IGK Equestrian,LLC/NorthBrook Farms, Inc.

Thank you Chris for the wonderful People Map training and facilitation sessions you provided to our leaders at Samaritan. Your program gave us a useful understanding of our own personality types and how we approach the world, as well as insight into how we might make adjustments when dealing with different personality types. The sessions were engaging and fun and there were many positive comments from our Leaders about your program. Indeed, a number of leaders have expressed interest in having People Map training for their employees. It is important to note that many months after completion of your training sessions; we continue to hear our leaders talk about their People Map profile. The People Map program has had a meaningful and enduring impact on our organization. – Tom Shatraw, Director of Human Resources Samaritan Health System, Watertown, NY

Dr. Allen delivered the workshop, 'Creating Life Work-Harmony' for our statewide group New York Agri-Women. Instead of a 'one size fits all approach' or a simple prescription for what to do, Dr. Allen encouraged us to think about our work, our families, our values, and personalities; she subsequently led us down a path of developing our own plan for change and for creating our own unique life-work harmony. Dr. Allen’s compassion and understanding for the day-to-day challenges of creating work-life harmony add to her credibility. Dr. Allen distinguishes herself from other professional coaches because her perspective is supported by practical, yet, empirically-validated research. She is more than a motivational speaker; she is also a knowledgeable professional committed to helping women develop life-work harmony. –Sheila Marshman, Ph.D. Department Chair and Assistant Professor of Agricultural Business at Morrisville State College

I hired Dr. Allen to provide executive and leadership development coaching services to several women STEM faculty at Syracuse University on the advice of a senior administrator at SU. I now know why she came so highly recommended! She was thoroughly professional in her dealings with our program and our faculty, from negotiating the initial contract through providing succinct summaries of the service she provided and its value to our faculty/her clients. Her knowledge of skills and strategies that faculty could deploy to help them achieve their goals was extremely useful, and several faculty commented that they were helped tremendously in achieving their goals. She was very easy to work with in setting up third-party billing, and a valued asset to our program......–Marie Garland Executive Director, SU ADVANCE at Syracuse University
