"In 2018 we created a national program to help 300 of our second-tier leaders be more effective at their offices. ECHO was a great injection to help break down some of the barriers that were getting in the way of working most effectively with the challenges they faced with their teams."

"For the first seven months of my new job my manager and I were not connecting. We had a good relationship and met regularly; while our meetings were always pleasant, I wasn’t able to move things forward because we just weren’t aligned. It was after taking the ECHO Listening Assessment that I realized we were habitually listening for different things, without recognizing it.
After receiving my ECHO Listening Profile, I was able to make immediate shifts which resulted in much better alignment and collaboration. I wish I had taken it on my first day, I would have been able to produce results that much faster!"

"If I hadn't done ECHO, my entire team would be at risk. We were not developing and improving at a rate that was keeping up with the company. That's done a complete 180 - we are flying now." - Chessie Felber, Customer Research & Advocacy Manager PopSockets |
“I was expecting the assessment to be a long, complicated process, and was delighted to find that it was quite short and the results quite full of content."

"Thanks so much for helping our department understand our listening habits. Many of the things you brought forward had been floating around in my mind for a long time, but without me being able to put them together in an articulate way. I feel like the process and how you guided us along today were really helpful."

“I just facilitated my first ECHO training and it was a home run! The 26 managers I worked with loved the learning and burst out laughing as they gained new insights about themselves and each other. The content is unique, fun to facilitate, and will create lasting positive change with clients.”

"Because of this [listening] class, I've found myself asking others around me more questions about their interests and likes. Furthermore, [ECHO] gave me courage to listen to anyone regardless if I know the person or not. Also, because I know my listening style, I can communicate that to others allowing them to know how to effectively communicate with me."
