RECOMMENDATIONS

Insight Business Works has been an integral partner with Helio Health in our Strategic Planning Process and Executive Leadership Team cohesion, focus and function.

Dr. Chris Allen was hired by credit union leagues in nine states through the Carpenter Speaker’s Bureau to speak at conventions on topics such as leadership development, ethical leadership, creating collaborative cultures, effective teamwork, work-life harmony and more. Her presentations, breakout workshops, and virtual presentations consistently receive positive feedback on her evaluations. Chris is warm, knowledgeable, and interactive with her audience. I would not hesitate to recommend her. Any organization, large or small, will benefit from her expertise and interpersonal skill.

Thank you, Chris and Tanya, for sharing your time and talents with us for PeopleMap™ training.

From the beginning, you helped us to plan the 4 days for both the online and in-person event. You worked with us to ensure we achieved our goals of networking and empowering women on our campus. The ease with which you validate and guide people to understand how their style impacts their interactions both on the job and at home through your storytelling and encouraging others to share their story is transformative.

We look forward to working with Insight Business Works again!

Dr. Allen delivers content in the virtual group setting with a high level of professionalism and sensitivity. She connects quickly and authentically with her online audience, which helps her to provide truly lasting value. A pleasure to work with!

Insight Business Works did a PeopleMap™ training session with our SKY Armory team – it was insightful and fun while giving us tools and strategies to use to communicate better with our people styles. Highly recommend.

Thanks for an amazingly fruitful session with our faculty. Your masterful facilitation helped relieve tensions and provided a safe place for everyone to speak and be heard.

The PeopleMap™ content has provided a common vocabulary for us to help understand each other better. It provides tools to disarm assumptions of motive by providing an understanding that different people perceive the same situations differently, that they interact differently, and that their values are not as shared as one would assume them to be.

I believe the school is in a much better place for having worked with you. Thank you!

As a small company with limited money and time to spend on training our staff, we anguished over whether we should spend precious resources on investments in “soft skills.” We concluded that our culture is our most important asset—and the very hardest thing to maintain as we grow.

We were so fortunate to find Chris Allen, who immersed us in a full day of engaging learning about personality styles. Everyone had a great time and learned more about themselves and each other. She gave us a common language to use to talk about conflict and a better understanding of how we can all work together and respect one another.

Even the “curmudgeons” among us gave the workshop an excellent rating. We’ve already seen people using their new skills to resolve little conflicts more quickly and teams have been using their new insights about themselves and each other to work together more effectively.

Chris conducted several 360-degree evaluations for our leadership team and followed up with individual 1-on-1 coaching sessions. At every step of the way, Chris was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

I have used Christine and Insight Business Works twice for pre-employment psychological assessments for key staff hires. Christine is very competent and easy to work with.

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.

Christine recently presented at our annual Leadership Conference for Women and received rave reviews from those who attended her session on Work-Life Harmony.

Dr. Allen is amazing! Her work with our leadership team and senior executives helped us truly understand our interpersonal styles through the PeopleMap™ assessment. This significantly enhanced our ability to effectively communicate with each other. In addition, Dr. Allen’s work with us on The Five Behaviors™ of a Cohesive Senior Team has made a profound, positive change in our professional effectiveness. I would strongly recommend Dr. Allen to any organization striving to be more effective!

I have recommended Dr. Christine Allen to members looking for her services, and have received stellar feedback, so I had no doubt that when I attended her PeopleMap™ presentation for CenterState CEO’s Training & Education program I would not be disappointed. Wow, I was blown away.

When I first did the map I did not think my map was correct as I might not have picked the two paths as me, however as Chris walked through each I was right on. I loved how Chris walked through each path giving tips on how people can better understand others and work together across paths. I felt like I can better recognize where others are coming from, how they think, and I can respond and collaborate better.

I have recommended that we do this internally for our staff. Thank you for your great work.

The Peoplemap™ System’s simplicity is its elegance. It allowed all of us to take a fresh look at each other and ourselves in a non-threatening environment. On top of all of the above, it was an awful lot of fun.

Chris is extremely skilled at understanding human behavior and applies her expertise to her work as a coach, trainer, and speaker. Chris recently completed a coaching assignment for NBT and did an outstanding job.

Chris is a true professional. Her trainings are on target for today’s diverse workforce. She recently presented two trainings at the college – Leading from the Inside Out and Work-Life Harmony. Both were well received by participants.

Christine has been working with members of our Senior Management team primarily as a performance improvement coach. I would highly recommend Christine to any organization that is searching for executive coaching expertise for their enterprise leaders.

The Positive Intelligence program was transformational for my mental health! It provided me with practical tools for how to stay present and embrace life’s challenges as gifts and opportunities. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking more joy and fulfillment in their work and life, right now!

PQ Reps, part of the Positive Intelligence program, have been a lifesaver in work and personal situations. This technique helped me find my center, regain calmness, and allows me to focus on the tasks in front of me.

I didn’t realize I was my worst enemy. The Positive Intelligence program showed me I could approach any obstacle with a positive slant. I feel like I am now moving forward with the tools needed to fully appreciate and embrace my successes.

My partner and I participated in the Positive Intelligence program together. It’s enabled us to become more vulnerable and seek to understand vs. assuming intentions. We have been given a common language that allows us to communicate more effectively with each other and in our interactions with our kids. It’s been a game-changer for our entire family!

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 People Map program has had a meaningful and enduring impact on our organization.
