Testimonials

Samuel Schoonover

Thanks to Doreen and Visions to Excellence, my dreams are coming true… and they are big dreams! Over my 38-year professional career, which included founding and directing two nonprofits, I worked with five different personal and business coaches. Doreen embodies the best that each had to offer, and more. She understands the big picture I have; her intuitive insight is like she almost knows what I am thinking. She sees my strengths and weaknesses. Doreen guides me to set goals and prioritize the steps of my business plan in a way that does not overwhelm me; and then helps me break it down in doable steps. She also lifts me up emotionally, and motivates me to improve in the business skills needed most to become a complete success, and makes learning the hard stuff fun. I trust her implicitly. I am reaching my goal of becoming a paid Executive Director thanks to her belief in me and her tenacious drive and energy that motivates me to follow through with the right steps. Thank you Doreen for bringing out in the best in me!

Working with Doreen Milano and Visions to Excellence has brought dramatic changes to my life. After owning my business for nine years, I was in a repetitive cycle with marginal success. With her guidance and expertise in several facets of business management, we were able to target areas for immediate overhaul while planning long-term business strategies that meet my personal goals and objectives. 18 months later the results have been a 40 hr work week, 75% more in gross revenue, and the joy that comes from making a difference in people’s lives. Having time for my family and living an inspired life is the best gift that Doreen could give me.

Doreen took the time to ask me the right questions until she understood how my business worked and what the dynamics were between my employees and me. She then gave me plenty of direction on how to move my business where I wanted it to go. I was a bit resistant at first and not sure if I could do what she asked of me, but I decided to put my trust in her and go for it. The results were that I was able to take my business where it had never gone before, where I had always wanted it to go. We hit record sales numbers about a month after I started coaching with Doreen. It was one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my business.

Every time we talked I took something away that was valuable and relative to the work I do every day. I used the consulting Doreen provided and it made me a better communicator and leader.
