I came to know Thia a few months back when she first started her business online. She is a fast learner, very easy to work with, well organized and focused. I’m impressed with how quickly she became profitable in her online business, and has coached others in reaching their goals too.

—Preston Rodrigues and Tatiana MN-USA

Thia—Thank you so much for ‘holding my hand’ as I start-up the process of launching my new business. I’m already impressed with your giving attitude and encouragement. If everyone in this company is like you I can see why this is a successful venture.

—Larry, CA (Internet Marketing Consultant)

I’m SO impressed with this company — not only is it a remarkable system, you guys are like a family!

—Mike Koenigs, Founder and CEO, Traffic Geyser LLC

Having worked with Thia intensively for 4+ years, I can unequivocally say that she is among the best! Articulate and organized, she both sees the “big picture” and knows the minutia necessary for launching and sustaining a project. Thia is devoted to community and is used to managing partnerships that reflect a diversity of viewpoints. Whatever she chooses to do is sure to be a success, because her combination of talent, willingness to work and professionalism make her terrific!

—Marian, Fundraising Consultant, VA

Thia’s creativity, leadership, strong work ethic and sense of humor enabled her to put together a program in the state of Maine that drew in so many applicants that we had to expand it, repeat it, and we still had a wait list! Thia’s work with people is transformative. …lives changed as a result of participation in this program. They gained confidence and developed skills that led to successful employment. Thia—you will always be remembered for your unending hours of dedication to the community and the people you served.

—Lorna, former colleague, Maine

Thia—I’ll miss our great conversations; I learned so much from you about relationship building, communication, and looking at things from a new perspective. All the best in your new business!

—Rhonda, former colleague, Washington, DC

Hey Thia! I’m going to miss you. Our conversations really taught me to understand the differences between Management and Leadership. You helped me develop new perspectives and gain more openness to seeing “what else is there.” Today I am more proactive and less reactive; I now stop, breathe, and think strategically. Thanks and all the best.

—Shawna, former colleague, Washington, DC

Thia was my direct supervisor for 7 years while leading a team focused on empowerment education and economic success for Maine women. She fostered personal and career development for all of us–professional staff, interns and volunteers, participants, and herself. Everyone who worked with and for Thia knew her as a person who communicated warmly, sympathetically, openly, her sense of purpose and efficiency always leavened by good humor. I learned a great deal from Thia as supervisor, role model, mentor, designer of learning experiences, and coach. She always cared deeply, respected differences, communicated thoughtfully, and generously shared her own learnings.

—Susan, former colleague, Maine

I first met Thia when I started working for her at a national non-profit. While Thia was my supervisor, she also became a mentor and good friend. Thia has an innate ability to impart her knowledge to those with whom she works, without being overbearing or pushy. Thia taught me a great deal about how to empower and teach others, but also how to work with people. She has a warmth, generosity and openness that makes all those around her feel comfortable and special.

—Rebekah, Washington, DC

Thia has a really keen insight on the different ways people learn and apply their skills, and she is adept at recognizing people’s differences when working with them. Personally, I was always very appreciative of the way she understood the various ways of being productive and her patience with letting me shine at appropriate moments. 

—Carolee, London, England (formerly, Washington, DC)

You are a wonderful leader and mentor. I value your friendship, compassion and ability to help all those who are fortunuate enough to work with you or to follow your leadership.

—Carol, Maine

You are the BEST woman!  Your total presence that you give to folks is such a gift!!! 

—L Doone, Maine
