Proven Results

I was extremely fortunate to 'google' and find Relational Advantage. The experience was different - teleconferences with someone I never met... how could this work? In between coaching sessions I read and used the coaching tips in real work experiences. What developed was a trust and an avenue for sorting through difficult experiences with a very positive approach. Did it work? My communication skills have improved 500%, but my outlook has improved 1000%. I can't thank Dr. Linaman enough!

I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the outcome of the negotiations you supervised between two of our associates. Your ability to get them to go back into their relationship to recognize the value they once had to one another was key in assisting them in resolving their issues. Both [associates] had hired attorneys who charged significant sums of money for advice, but were unable to accomplish what both of them really wanted - resolution.
In the past I have always looked first to our franchise dispute resolution, or our trade associations conflict resolution system or my attorney for advice, but your services will now be at the top of my list for assistance.

Please accept my sincere appreciation for your captivating presentation. It was clear to me that you resonated on many levels with each attendee. One of our managers was able to use one of your nuggets of wisdom on the same day as your presentation. As a result she was able to resolve a long-standing issue in one phone call! She couldn’t wait to tell me about it.
[In our business] we spend the largest percentage of our time on the “socio-political” side of the spectrum, where interpersonal skills and relationship building will make you or break you.
It has been very refreshing to meet someone like you, Dr. Linaman, someone who understands that dynamic so well and is willing to provide training to make us better at what we do. It was our great pleasure to have you as our featured speaker.

The value my management team received from Relational Advantage's seminar, Understanding Behavioral Styles for Team Success, was exceptional. We realized immediate benefits, particularly with regard to better understanding each other's communication styles and subsequent improvement in our team interactions and productivity. We especially appreciated Todd's excellent facilitation of this fun and productive interactive experience.

We hired Dr. Linaman as a coach and consultant to our investment group at a time when we were experiencing a great deal of stress and confusion. After talking to each team member and assessing our situation, he knew immediately how to help us and recommended a specific plan to address our needs. He taught us how to improve our interpersonal relationships in a professional and efficient manner by helping us understand one another's personality styles.
From learning how to effectively conduct meetings to managing e-mail in a professional manner, he served as a great teacher and strong advisor. I can honestly say that our group is running smoothly and efficiently now that we have worked with Dr. Linaman for the last six months. We are grateful for the knowledge he shared with us about developing successful teams, and we plan to continue having him serve as a consultant to our executive board.

Thank you for all of your guidance and support. You have not only been able to open my mind to new ideas but most importantly have helped me to develop the skills to understand my own personality and the impact it has on others. I have not only found myself happier in my professional and home lives but have noticed significant improvement within my work teams.
