Stephen Playford
Project/Construction Mgt. Light Rail Phoenix 1.4 Billion-Dollar Project
Sue was retained to work with the executive management team of a large public works design and construction project valued at $1.4 billion. Her primary mission was to develop open and trusting relationships among the executive management team to enhance communication and teamwork in a politically charged, complex, and high-pressure working environment. She not only provided insightful and practical techniques for working in a difficult environment but also provided valuable individual attention which resulted in a better understanding of human interactions in professional and personal relationships.

Sue's knowledge of effective communication and complex relationships is key to motivating you to stretch yourself to reach greater potential. It is difficult to write a few words to describe the profound impact Sue had on our organization and the individuals involved. The best way I know to say it is by highly recommending Sue as someone you should work with.

Sue Lewin
Vice President, Public Participation/Info. Services Manager - Valley Metro Rail Public
I've been acquainted with Sue Porter and her services for about 4 years. In my former position as Public Involvement Manager of Valley Metro Rail in Phoenix, I was responsible for managing a staff of seven public involvement specialists. There were some very strong personalities in the group, and we were struggling to work as a team. Sue Porter was hired by Valley Metro to work with us on partnering and team building. She was a great help to my group and to me personally, as she was useful in helping us all understand one another's personalities and how to best leverage our strengths and minimize our weaknesses. Ms. Porter was also retained by the agency to work with other individuals and teams throughout the organization and I know she had a high level of success with those, as well. I would highly recommend Sue Porter's services to any agency or group that is interested in working with diverse groups and helping build consensus. I would be pleased to serve as a professional reference for Ms. Porter, should you wish to contact me.

Mack Dickerson
Vice President Right of Way Operations of Tierra Right of Way Services
I worked with Sue for over a year. During this period, I learned the strengths and weaknesses of my management style. Sue not only gave me the resources to improve and grow myself but helped me implement the change I needed to make and held me accountable to make those changes. She really took an interest in me and my staff, working with all of us to improve the company overall. I am honored to recommend her services to anyone needing an outside person to help you look inside and discover another you. But if you can't be honest with her from the beginning, wait to engage her till you can or all the coaching in the world is not going to help!

Wulf Grote
Acting Executive Director, Valley Metro Rail 1.4-Billion-Dollar Engineering Project
Sue Porter has worked with Valley Metro Rail for three years to support our organization’s team building, personality profiling, and conflict resolution needs. The personality profiling has helped our employees to better understand one another and improve the way we communicate.

This was not an easy task as the group had been dysfunctional for some time. Her insight and expertise guided us through a team-building process. Sue’s efforts have also helped develop positive working relationships within our organization. I am pleased with the results of Sue’s efforts and would recommend her services to anyone wishing to improve communication and minimize conflict within their organization.

Sue Porter provided a seminar to my office on Generational Intelligence. The seminar was interactive, thoughtful, and excellent. It provided critical insight to the issues we face at our office as we employee many people in different age groups. It was insightful and even the staff who were initially reluctant to attend the seminar participated and commented afterwards that they were glad they did. Sue has done many seminars for my Company Tierra Right of Way Services. We have worked with Sue for the past 3 years and have been very

very happy. I would highly recommend Sue for any type of motivational seminar and coaching.

Cochelle Dubs

Principal, Magee Middle School

Sue is a dynamic speaker, captivating her audience with personal anecdotes while making the subject matter become “real." Her delightful sense of humor allowed people to laugh at themselves and each other while creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Since the seminar, I have received continued positive feedback as we have all become more sensitive to the behavior patterns of our colleagues.

On a more personal level, the seminar has greatly improved my working relationship with the assistant principal. We have learned to capitalize on each other’s strengths while developing an understanding of our individual working styles. The DiSC Model has been instrumental in creating an administrative team that has become highly effective as we honor each other in our individual behavior patterns. I highly recommend Sue Porter and her business!

We are a large company in Tucson, Arizona with revenues of more than $6 Billion. Sue Porter helped us identify the root cause issues and then worked closely with the group to turn them in the right direction. This was not an easy task as the group had been dysfunctional for some time. Her insight and expertise guided us through a team-building process that has proven to be helpful and effective. Sue is very passionate about achieving results and knowledgeable in making that happen. She is a great coach and an excellent person with which to work.

Public Involvement Manager Valley Metro Rail

Sue’s practical coaching methods allowed me, as her client, to set the agenda for each session. Goal setting was a vital component in our time together to assist me in cultivating action items and successfully paving a path to reaching these end goals. Sue’s enthusiasm, her ability in providing constructive feedback, and professional knowledge, also motivated me to be prepared to execute the myriad of options discussed in each session in my role as manager. Sue’s ability to challenge me to think beyond my normal scope of practical management skills, has fostered a strong will, to continue striving to attain a higher level of success in my career. I appreciate the personal touches Sue makes in meeting the needs of her client.

Thank you for providing such a positive Coaching Experience.

Enrolling in Sue's class and becoming DISC facilitator's was one of the best decisions we've made! Understanding how we are wired individually not only has enriched our marriage, it has "cracked the code" and impacted virtually all of our personal and professional relationships! It has been an indispensable tool in our coaching and leadership training business. Sue is an excellent trainer and makes it a fun process to boot. Rich and Marybeth Mendez.

Director of Operations at FTG Corporation

Sue Porter is a DISC Master I was looking to expand my business offerings and use a tool that would help me gain influence and at the same time service my clients. This is when I found Sue Porter and the Become an "Authorized DISC Facilitator". It was exactly what I was looking for. She gave me: tools and activities for training; templates; seminar outlines to duplicate; training to be confident using DISC; even marketing suggestions and support with an ongoing group to work with and receive support. If you're looking for a great course to build your business, DISC is hands down the best. I have what I need to launch seminars, webinars, and coach my clients with DISC! I can't recommend Sue Porter and the become an "Authorized DISC Facilitator" training more.

Owner Remedy Intelligence Staffing

It was an excellent presentation Sue gave for TMP regarding the 4 generations that are working together in today’s work environment. I have owned my staffing company for over 21 years and my staff and I deal every day with the different age groups looking for work.

Sue's seminar was very enlightening because it helped me to understand all the different attitudes that we are dealing with. And what’s most important is WHY they have this attitude. What influenced their formative years for each generation.
