"I was recommended to Dale about a dozen years ago as someone who could help me be more effective at what I do. I was known as a good communicator, but I felt there were things holding me back from taking full advantage of the skills and opportunities I had. Dale helped me create a framework to help me better gauge my role in every conversation, which really allowed me to channel those skills."

"... Later I recruited Dale to help my research team get to the next level. We were already a very successful team. But Dale was able to push us and disrupt some ingrained patterns that it turns out were inhibiting our potential. It’s really helped us excel …and prompted me to comment to Dale that I knew he was good but I didn't realize he was that good."

"I’ve always been a natural leader, but my coaching with Dale has completely changed the way I lead and communicate. I’ve become much more structured and intentional — clearer in my asks, more defined in roles and expectations, and far more confident in setting the tone for my team."

"... One of the most powerful lessons I learned from Dale was how to ‘unwire’ my hot buttons. In tough conversations, I can now feel when I’m getting triggered and consciously shift to a more thoughtful, cognitive approach. That awareness has made me a stronger communicator — and a calmer leader."

"... I’m busier than I’ve ever been, yet I finally have time to think. Dale’s coaching helped me build the structure and processes that let my team operate clearly and confidently — even when I’m not in the room. I still love the details, but now I lead with trust, clarity, and creative space."

"They took the time to learn our language and understand how we do business. From the start, they focused on our goals and adapted seamlessly — maintaining their high standards while meeting our timeline and our needs."

"... What made this program so meaningful was the cycle of practice, analysis, and feedback. We refined not just our words, but how others interpreted them — including our nonverbals and presence. It was challenging, practical, and immediately applicable to real conversations."

"... We’re seeing real behavior change — more appointments, and higher-quality conversations. The impact is visible across our team."

"As a business owner I recognize the financial investment and (possibly more importantly) the time investment of training. I would say with confidence that the investment in developing communication skills specifically with The Communication Gym provides a strong return on that investment."

"... When asked if they used the skills they learned on a daily basis in their jobs over 93% of attendees said yes."

"The most effective, results-oriented coaching I have ever participated in."

"After 35 years in the training business, it’s nice to be reminded what training is really about."

"(Sheryl's explanation of who she called to tell that she had been named #1 out of 812 sales people nationally). After I called my family, the first call I made was to my coach."

"What The Communication Gym has brought to us is the ability to feel confident about what we do, that we are good in what we do, and be able to portray that to our customers."

"... What they bring to the table is the ability to grow in an organized stress free fashion. Having all of your employees on the same page, and actually investing in your employees so that you can feel like you're going to retain them for the long haul but the efforts that you're giving to your employees now won’t be wasted down the road."

"After several months I noticed our staff meetings became even more productive. The open sharing of ideas was obviously from the confidence each employee had gained during Gym sessions. I also noticed improved rapport with all of our clients and better handling of difficult situations both within the office and externally. The number of issues I personally had to address decreased as my staff became more confident in their ability to communicate clearly to clients in complex situations."

"Whether I’m in the office, at the kitchen table, or anywhere else, I notice a new level of confidence and organization in how I communicate — all thanks to my training at The Communication Gym."

"... I’ve always set goals, but now I structure them differently — more specific, more focused, and easier to achieve. The Communication Gym helped me create a personal growth statement that’s made me better both in my work and in my life."

"... As I went through the program, I started closing more sales, raising my averages, and hitting more of my goals. In 2012 — while others said the economy was slow — I reached a career milestone: one million dollars in sales. That success came directly from the skills I built at The Communication Gym."

"I earned my black belt more than seven years ago as a Branch Manager for a local bank. I have since held both sales and management positions in Retail and Business Banking divisions. My communication skills are tested every day in client appointments, proposal negotiations, meetings with coworkers, and discussions with underwriters."

"... Through TCG, I gained a greater awareness of communication styles; both my own and those in my community. TCG opened my eyes and ears to the incredibly diverse forms of communication we use when interacting with each other in business and sales settings. This awareness gave me an opportunity to adapt my own style of communication, yielding stronger relational connections with customers and colleagues."

"... I strongly believe in continually developing myself as a business professional. The Communication Gym helped to foster that belief seven years ago and remains a primary resource for advancing my personal and business communication skills."

"Through my Corporate Partnership with TCG for the past three years, I have seen my employees improve their client relationships, resulting in increased client retention, and watched them develop a smoother working environment with each other. The investment of time and resources has dramatically benefited my staff and improved our client satisfaction. As a business owner, I recognize the need for employee training and I can say with the utmost confidence that The Communication Gym was and will continue to be a key pillar of training for my employees. I gladly recommend partnering with TCG to any small to midsized business owner."
