| "I'm a firm
believer that continuing education is
vitally important to continuing success.
Hospitals have a full range of educational
levels which pose challenges in planning and
developing leadership. I wanted to establish
a certain base line with the ultimate goal
of bringing my staff together to improve
performance. I'm very pleased with this
training program. I'd like to do a training
every year from now on. As we grow in
numbers leadership must grow. I may require
this as part of each of our training
programs." |

| "Though the
title, Wired For Creativity, appears
to be geared only to creative people, this
should not deter those less-creative from
reading it. This is a book that has many
practical steps and sound advice from
someone with broad experience in the
business world as a creative type person. We
need more creativity in our world of
business, so the book is a timely offering
for those still discovering their gifts and
place in life. Ms. Long's 'Sevenfold Formula
for Life-Changing Creativity' is worth the
price of the book alone." |

| "Dr. Deborah
Roebuck brought incredible value to our
organization by accurately assessing our
needs, designing a tailored program to meet
those needs, and then guiding us through the
implementation process. Our results were
outstanding, and the organization gained
skills and confidence along the way. We
developed internal capabilities to sustain
and improve upon our initial successes. The
improvement continues, and we owe Dr.
Roebuck a debt of gratitude. Her knowledge,
teaching ability, and encouragement were
invaluable." |

"The team assessments showed we were not
spread far from each other, despite the
occasional conflict we experience between
sales and execution. The combination of the
personal assessments and the suggestions for
improvement were valuable things learned."

| "As a member
of the entertainment community for years, my
life suddenly began to fall apart. I lost my
eyesight and became a single mom after 20
years of marriage. I no longer knew who I
was or had any sense of my purpose in life.
Then I met Candace Long. She saw something
in me others did not see. It's hard to say
what impacted me most: our talks, her book
Wired For Creativity, her radio show,
her standard of creative excellence, or the
various entertainment projects I had the
privilege of reading and representing. She
was used to bring my creative spirit back to
life. Her recent guidance has played a vital
role in helping me build the right
foundation for a new non-profit
organization. Candace, your seed has brought
forth fruit in my life. Even with limited
eyesight, I 'see' what I am becoming!" |

| "As a
colleague spanning seven academic years, I
have observed Dr. Deborah Roebuck's teaching
abilities within three settings. She is
committed to an experiential approach to
education and is gifted in her ability to
engage students in activities whereby they
begin the process of integrating knowledge
and skills into actual application in the
workplace. She is a master teacher." |

| "The team
building training we received was right on
the mark! Dr. Roebuck's warm and open style
helped her quickly establish rapport with
the team which led to open communication and
an exploring environment that facilitated
learning. The Big Five was a great
experience that helped us learn about our
individual work styles and then bring
together our individual strengths and
weaknesses into a team chart. This enabled
us to see how we can compliment each other
to build the strongest team possible." |
