Al Luchterhand & Louie Polish, Owners, Sun City Landscapes, Inc.
We have worked with STAR Leadership since 2001. Their services, training, and insight have proven to be an asset to our company. From the owners to our employees, we have acquired the leadership skills and training methods from STAR Leadership to be a very successful company, with the awards to back it up. Their facilitators are above reproach for getting the words across on the necessary tools it takes to have a successful outcome. One facilitator stands out as one of the best we have ever known, Lucy Ivins. She will go out of her way to see that her students not only understand the curriculum but "Get It" and know how to use it within their employment and daily lives. STAR Leadership's training ranges from custom suited for a particular company, to High Performance Leadership, Strategy, Trust Factor, and Communication to name a few. They have the leaders to educate your leaders. We would recommend STAR leadership and all its personnel for any company's training needs. It has been proven to be very successful for our company.

Glenn McClendon, Vice President/General Manager, Sun State Components of Nevada, Inc. (Wood Truss Manufacturer)
STAR Leadership has supported the growth and success of our company since 1995 with goal oriented training programs designed to address specific needs and challenges of both individuals and groups. Their training addresses a wide range of topics including personal productivity, supervisory skills, leadership development, teamwork, and communication.

Most of our key people in production management, design, sales, customer service, and office administration have participated in STAR training with many attending multiple programs. Consistently the training has either improved performance or helped us see the need to move individuals into different jobs that better utilized their strengths.

In 2008 we will be opening a lumber yard and are looking forward to STAR Leadership's support in maximizing the effectiveness and results of the new team.

Jim Widner, Division President, KB Home Nevada Inc.
Using the methods taught in your programs, our employees are more willing to accept additional responsibilities, and their skills are preparing them for possible promotions in the future. They are learning to focus more on high payoff activities and to reduce the amount of interruptions. Perhaps most importantly, our employees have learned the value of making commitments and keeping those commitments. They take responsibility for their successes as well as their mistakes, making them the keys to increasing our management's credibility. Your programs taught our employees that no matter what their position is within our organization, they can use your processes to become more proficient and productive.

Lynn A. Donner, Regional Vice President, President Nevada Division, First American Title Insurance Company
First American Title has had the wonderful opportunity of working with Lucy Ivins and STAR Leadership. Lucy does an excellent job of maintaining support and holding the participants accountable. The training sessions with our staff have had a tremendous impact on our organization; the results have increased communication and teamwork between our departments. I believe that the services offered by STAR Leadership would be an added benefit to any organization.

Ryan Stewart, President, FRAMECON, Inc.
STAR Leadership has made a world of difference in the way our company does business. Our increased efficiency is already showing up on the bottom line. We feel we have made a lifetime investment that will continue to pay off for years to come. We will continue to do business with STAR to make sure our company has the advantage over the competition.

Greg Layton, President, Western States Framing
Working with STAR Leadership Associates has had a very positive impact on our business at Western States Framing. Initially, their training and coaching helped me redefine my role as President of the company - especially in how I use my time. As a framer, I was accustomed to spending a great deal of my time in the field supervising and fighting fires rather than planning for problem prevention and focusing on growing the business. By setting specific goals and revising our organizational structure to better utilize the strengths and talents of key personnel, we have significantly increased productivity and reduced problems. With STAR Leadership's guidance and training, we have developed a business plan with specific goals for new customer development and growth. More than ever before, we are focused on bidding jobs that utilize our strengths, and tracking our bidding success rate has improved estimating productivity. I am now more confident than ever in our ability to withstand competitive threats and grow successfully. Thank you for a personalized touch and genuine caring about the success of our company and employees.

Vicki Richardson, CEO, J.V. Ventures Inc. (J.V. Espresso & Auntie Anne's Pretzels)
J.V. Ventures would like to thank you for the excellent goal planning retreat that you designed to meet our specific needs. The time you devoted to learning about our company's structure and involving me, as the owner, in helping to plan the agenda made our meeting meaningful and successful. The opportunity to share ideas away from the workplace and have your input was truly valuable. Thank you for your professionalism, your energy and your sensitivity to our small, but diverse group of leaders. You have a wonderful leadership style which fosters involvement without making us feel preached to.
