The Empowerment Team has changed my life. 

This is not a statement I make lightly.  I do not give letters of recommendation to many, frankly because most are not deserving. 

Allan Christensen and Gary Grossman have a gift. 

The gift of helping people and companies identify their strengths and weaknesses, and focus their energy on creating more strengths.

The gift of showing people the truth of where they are, where they want to be, and a step-by-step process to accomplish their goals. And one of the most important elements…the gift of caring.  They are truly vested in the interest and well being of their clients.  Their mission statement of “empowering people to empower themselves” is executed with empathy, guidance, and expert knowledge.

In my first meeting with Allan and Gary, I was skeptical. I own a business, they provide professional coaching, I had heard of professional coaching, but did not fully understand how it worked. I already work hard, I already work smart, I already am successful, what would I need professional coaching for?  In one hour, I had one “ah-ha” moment after another.  You know, that moment when you see yourself and your business for what it really is.  You see your life with clarity.

That moment was a turning point for me personally and professionally.

Now, I plan my goals. I don’t just have 10 different “to do lists” all over the place.  I don’t run around in a stressful rush from one meeting to another. I don’t put myself in situations that are destined to fail. And I don’t give into my fears. 

I know what my priorities are.  I know what I need to do to keep my priorities in order.  My business has experienced an exceptional year and is ahead of track for exceeding increased goals for this year. And most importantly, I feel like a balanced person.

This letter of recommendation is to encourage people to not be afraid of success.  To let businesses know that there is a team (The Empowerment Team) that can help you take your business from good to great, and from great to beyond your wildest dreams.

"Initially, when I began looking at development programs, I was specifically looking at one individual on my team. Sending this individual to a program like Dale Carnegie would have cost our company a fortune. This manager would have returned from classes motivated only temporarily because no one else on the team would have understood or been able to share in the experience. With your help, in less than six months, we turned the company around for everyone. Your value is priceless because we are all sharing in the same growth curve together."

Kelli Takikawa, Old Spaghetti Factory


"Your leadership program is comparable to the classes that are taught in today’s colleges and universities. Your program has given me the ability to be a lot more effective at work, with my family and in my community."

  Peggy Heinemann, University of Phoenix
