“I attended a Strength Finder workshop put on by Betsy Smith. Not only is Betsy an established author of Second Blooming for Women Over Fifty, she conducts workshops, courses and seminars. The seminar I attended was very intimate containing only two attendees and Betsy. This type of setting achieved high results very quickly between me and the other attendee. Betsy honed in on both of our strengths and weaknesses such that we could optimize our working relationship. I highly recommend this particular seminar if you are going to be working with people.”

Dr. Smith,
Thank you for your excellent leadership facilitating our deans’ retreat with your “Success Through Strengths” program. It proved to be insightful and valuable.
Our team walked away with a better understanding not just our individual strengths, but also that of our team members. “Success Through Strengths” definitely contributes to our becoming a more effective and efficient team. I appreciate your leadership and talent in presenting this program.
Respectfully,

After researching and talking to several people to conduct a workshop for student services leadership retreat, we chose Betsy Smith of ElSmith Consulting. She not only met but exceeded our expectations!! Her subject knowledge, energy, and enthusiasm radiated throughout the session. We discussed PRACTICAL ways the team can compliment each others strengths so that we can maximize our talents and become an stronger more dynamic team! Because of Betsy’s experience in higher education, she could give us insight of her experiences that related to our day to day operations in student services. I learned so much at our Dean’s retreat, I have invited Betsy back to facilitate a workshop to the directors and coordinators in the Admissions and Outreach division.
If you want an energetic, passionate, and knowledge based presenter, Betsy Smith is the one you want choose.
