Thank you Dr. Holmes for your facilitation and direction of the Building Powerful CONNECTIONS in a Culturally Diverse Society, Unconscious Bias: A Quiet Performance Killer, Unconscious Bias and Uncomfortable Conversations and Unbiasing Your Organization series of workshops for CalPERS employees. Likewise, thanks for your Top DEI Trends presentation at the CalPERS Board retreat. Your knowledge and empathy created an environment where team members were able to engage in sensitive conversations and exercises, which helped form the basis for our DEI Framework.

Dr. Tyrone Holmes was a major asset to our EDUCON 2025 program for MPI Arizona Sunbelt chapter. He led a session called "Putting the ROI Back Into DEI" and helped us facilitate our second member focus group for our Belonging & Inclusion committee. As an organization that is just rolling out our DEI initiatives, Dr. Holmes provided fundamental tools for our members to use in their own organizations as well as for our volunteer members to use in ours. Dr. Holmes is a brilliant and talented speaker and has a great way of holding the audience's attention by providing profound insights into the subject matter.

Thank you for leading your workshop on how leaders can create a more inclusive and equitable workplace. This session was instrumental in our ongoing efforts to cultivate a work environment that brings out the best in our staff. Your workshop equipped managers with practical strategies to grasp the concepts and apply them immediately within their teams. Your facilitation style enabled a diverse group of leaders to understand how empathy and communication can enhance performance and foster a more engaged team.

Dr. Holmes, on behalf of the Arizona chapter of the Society of Government Meeting Professionals, I want to give you a shout out. Your speaking engagement, How to Hire a Great Speaker for Your Next Event was well received by our members. Your guidance on this matter has helped our members be more proactive and efficient in finding speakers for their events. As well as easing the stress of speaker hunting. Your dynamic speaking style is very engaging. You are a walking ideal of a great speaker!

A very unique ability is to captivate an audience and make them process your spoken words long after you have left the room. This, I am sure, occurs on many occasions when Dr. Tyrone A. Holmes speaks. It certainly happened when he spoke at the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development's Samuel H. Johnson Luncheon. He understood our mission and delivered a powerful and memorable keynote address that provided our guests with the "professional opportunity of a lifetime".

Thanks Tyrone! Building Powerful Business Relationships in a Culturally Diverse Society was a huge hit! Everyone really enjoyed the presentation and we all learned something new about L.U.C.A.S. and the S.O.L.E.R. Technique that we can use at work and home. I'm going to recommend you to Garland Preddy, Education Coordinator at the National SGMP Headquarters. SGMPAZ appreciates your time and knowledge shared at today's meeting. This is a topic that we all need to work on and you provided some excellent communication tools for us to implement. I will definitely be more aware of the "noise" concept. We had excellent attendance today too, 22 members and guests were there. I hope it generates some future business for you. Let's talk about having you back in the fall of 2017! Thanks for your continued support of SGMPAZ.

I would like to thank you for facilitating our ADC retreat on Friday, August 22. I thought it was extremely helpful and judging from the feedback I received, many of the Deans felt the same way too. I appreciate your expertise and look forward to working with you again in the near future.

Thank you for facilitating this year's diversity presentation. The RAs could not stop saying exciting and thought provoking things about the information you covered. The evaluation showed high marks - RAs scoring each question at a 4 or higher. The things they liked most about the presentation were: The L.U.C.A.S approach, learning the listening skills, the group activities and the style in which you deliver a presentation. They felt engaged and part of the process. I hope the high marks and comments provide you with some insight as to what the evaluations showed. Again, thanks and I'll be sure to keep you in mind for future sessions.

Thank you for facilitating our Management Group professional development training session this year. We appreciated your useful tools for managers to positively coach staff, and have already seen these behaviors impacting our teams. Attendees were excited to participate in this session and loved your energy and insight. We will definitely keep you in mind for future sessions!

Dr. Holmes is a subject matter expert regarding workplace diversity challenges and opportunities. His relaxed presentation style and demeanor make him a highly effective facilitator and presenter. He is able to create the ideal environment for openness, learning and sharing. I would highly recommend his training programs to other organizations.

Hello Tyrone! Thanks again for the great session you presented last night. The "Three Questions" model, tips to facilitating presentations that generate revenue, positioning speaking fees, and practical examples from your experience was all well received. All of the information you shared made participants think about ways they can position what they offer in a different way. We really appreciate your willingness to bring value to our membership!

On behalf of our team, thank you for sharing your expertise, time and guidance throughout this process as well as helping us end up with nine clearly defined and planned SMART goals. We engaged in valuable planning and also achieved the goal of getting to know one another better through the icebreakers. The feedback from our colleagues reflects the positive outcomes from the retreat. Thank you for compiling our strategic plan so quickly and sharing it with all of us, and for helping move us forward collectively. It was a privilege to meet and work with you. Congratulations on 20 years of helping organizations improve, including our division. Best wishes.

We engaged Dr. Holmes in re-energizing our Corporate Diversity Council and developing a recruitment and retention strategy for our organization. The sessions he facilitated were informative, practical, and engaging. As a result of his assistance, our organization is on track with a diversity initiative that is integrated with our overall business objectives. I highly recommend Dr. Holmes to any organization that is beginning or re-focusing their diversity efforts.

Tyrone, I have had the opportunity to work with you at two universities. I find your strategic planning process to be very effective and engaging. With your support we were able to develop a plan at our 2-day retreat that our division colleagues are extremely proud of. Your engagement and facilitation expertise is greatly appreciated. Well done!

Dr. Holmes provides an excellent learning experience for our staff. Our staff looks forward to seminars facilitated by Dr. Holmes. His energy and professionalism are the reason why we keep calling him back.

Initially, I hired Dr. Tyrone Holmes as my writing coach with the purpose of elevating my consulting and coaching practice through publishing and speaking engagements. As a result, I successfully wrote and published my first book with over 1500 copies sold. Tyrone's approach kept me focused and moving forward on writing my 2nd book along with numerous articles. As a result of this success, I continue to work with Tyrone as a coach and business consultant. He assisted me in developing a business strategy and a path forward to build a 6-figure revenue stream. Tyrone's confidence and expertise has guided me to the next level of my business as a public speaker and author. I highly recommend him to other coaches and consultants.

Tyrone's business coaching was instrumental in redirecting our efforts in a more effective and efficient manner and we quickly experienced the results we desired. His knowledge and expertise in business development along with his professional manner in delivering this information was exceptional. Our expectations were exceeded by the results we achieved. Thank you so much.

I have been a pediatrician practicing in a group practice for nearly 30 years, but when I decided to develop a program marrying my medical expertise with my passion for multisports, I was lost. Serendipitously, I had the great fortune of meeting Tyrone at a USAT sponsored business coaching retreat, where he was one of the presenters. The rest is history. In less than one year, he has coached me to developing a concept into a reality! Tyrone is a visionary, who is able to structure, organize, prioritize and succinctly guide in a way that I find simply remarkable. I am amazed at his simplistic genius and continue to be grateful for his business coaching and his kind spirit. Health Powered By You, LLC, is another feather in Tyrone's cap that is already a full headdress!
