  Ernest,
  I just wanted to drop a quick note to say thanks. Your investment in me and my leadership skills/success…has paid off multiple times.
  
  You have been an amazing catapult in the journey to where I am now. I remember our first conversation in April of 2008. So in 3 1/2 years, I am now really truly where I want to be. I am making my dreams come true - and you planted a seed that is blooming into a giant redwood.
  THANK YOU!!!
  K.S.

  Ernest,
  In seeking to revitalize my career, leadership and professional marketing program, you provided guidance, information, and suggestions that went well above and beyond what I anticipated.
  
  Your follow through, unexpected follow-up phone calls, passion, enthusiasm, as well as your
  desire to help others succeed is just amazing. You are absolutely a great person Ernest, as well as those on within your PowerHour organization - who are outstanding to work with as well. I highly endorse and recommend their work.
  
  Ernest - you are one of the most knowledgeable people I have found in sorting out the inner workings of LinkedIn and some of its little known - but most important functions.

  Hi Ernest,
  A defining experience for sure. Your experience and key coaching/learning points provided myself
  and our corporate team with the exactly the right guidance we requested from you. You answered our questions, helped define our corporate training programs and showed us how to improve on previous strategies and approaches. In my position, you helped me to see some very key points for improvement and highlighted the importance of comprehensive inclusion of all roles within the company. Excellence was definitely a reoccurring theme, which permeated all of the materials and our discussions.

  Ernest,
  I first became aware of Ernest around 15 years ago. My attention was grabbed by the very innovative PowerHour telephone coaching services he offered. He has since become one of the first members on LinkedIn, where his enthusiasm and ability to communicate flourishes as the moderator of several influential discussion groups within our industry. Ernest is personable, generous and completely professional. Certainly one of the most dynamic individuals I have ever met.

  I am glad to see the hiring process from the beginning and I now have a clearer sense of what to look for and how to conduct a successful interview and close the deal. And, I am ready to keep interviewing. Thank you so much for being involved in the process and helping me understand the steps and to see the big picture. Having your PowerHour tools & templates available takes alot of the guesswork out of the hiring process and I have much more confidence now. I also have a much greater appreciation of what we have to offer to those interviewing with my company.

  Hey Coach,
  You have made a HUGE positive emotional, personal and business impact on my life since I've known you but these last few months with you have been the most significant of all of the years.  The steps that I am taking today and the enthusiasm that I feel for my new biz are a direct reflection of your encouragement and support of me.   I feel like a "mini-Coach" as you mentor me along this road.  I realize that what you are doing for me is exceptional and I thank God for you and pray for your business and family every day--- that is the least that I can do.  You are the BEST and have helped me to rediscover the best of who the Good Lord made me to be!

  Hi Ernest,
  The training today on LinkedIn® professional networking services was very helpful.  I have been using LinkedIn® professional networking services since 2008 and I had only used it for lead generation and I find it better than Hoover's. I am now excited about becoming more acquainted with LinkedIn® professional networking services groups because I have not done much within that
  area of LinkedIn® professional networking services.  Thanks once again for your time today!
