What Clients are Saying

Jim Guelzow
Vice President & Chief Development Officer, LSI Solutions, Inc.

I had an incredible experience with Paula and The Learning Group LLC. Her professional development and management mentoring services helped me to improve communication and better define departmental actions. Additionally, her mental fitness coaching was a game-changer, offering valuable insights and strategies for handling stress and challenges. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to enhance their skills and well-being.

Director of Operations
Family-owned Manufacturing and Distribution Company

When I was hired to lead the operations of a family business, I stepped into a mess! While I couldn’t control the chaos at the top, Paula helped me to get control of the recruiting, onboarding, and cross-training for my area. This helped me to deal with staffing problems while there were constantly changing priorities.

Arria Cocei-Stacy
Eng, MBA, B2B Marketing Director

I had the pleasure of meeting Paula during the Positive Intelligence program, which I joined with the hope of improving my relationship with my thirty-year-old son. After trying numerous programs over the years with little success in transforming our relationship, I felt stuck and hopeless. However, Positive Intelligence turned out to be a true game-changer, as it helped me rewire my thinking and approach.
