“I have been working with PL&L for over a year.  Prior to working with PL&L our business was growing, but I realized we were beginning to drift away from our long-term vision and values. PL&L was very helpful in assisting me to clarify my mission and vision. They helped me rebuild our organization so that everyone supported and nurtured our vision and values. One of the most wonderful benefits about working with PL&L is the transformation I have learned to make personally, and continue to make on a daily basis.  This has a positive ripple effect, which then in turn affects my coworkers, family and friends. Our team has made significant improvements in communications and productivity. For example, even though we lost five members of the team (mostly because they were not a good fit based on where I was taking the company) our productivity and revenues have increased.  I highly recommend the PL&L corporate training team to anyone who is committed to not only achieve financial success, but also create a fulfilling life along with it.”

“As a commercial retail real estate development company, Red Mountain Retail Group, Inc. (RMRG) controls $1.2 billion in assets.  We believe the success of our 150+-employee organization has been galvanized by engaging PL&L for the past six years.  PL&L has provided various services, such as one-on-one meetings, individual participation in structured courses and team building retreats.  We believe PL&L affords RMRG the opportunity to provide a professional and personal growth atmosphere, which attracts high performing individuals.  This allows RMRG to prosper as an industry leader in the extremely competitive commercial retail real estate market.  PL&L demonstrates genuine emotional support to the RMRG team members and participates as an integral part of the RMRG team.  They challenge us to grow by working with management to develop strategies and performance criteria.  Trainers provide effective tools for handling the challenges inherent with growth, teaching effective communication and working with team members to resolve conflict.  The results created are a cohesive, caring team.  RMRG has managed its fast paced growth and success in large part to PL&L’s participation and guidance.  We recommend incorporating their services as an integral part of any company’s plan for success.”

"Our recent Property Management retreat was a tremendous success.  The personal development, growth and team building skills you shared, made this our ‘best ever’ retreat. Throughout the years, I have been a strong advocate of personal growth and motivational training, both in my private as well as public sector experiences.  Productive Learning & Leisure, and their group interactive training, is one of the best in translating organizational challenges into positive, practical and measurable results. Thanks again for your help in our rapidly growing organization."

"PL&L has provided Distinguished Companies with invaluable services.  I know of no other organization that can provide a firm’s team members with both personal and professional development on the way to higher achievement.  PL&L’s insightful exercises, programs, training and counseling have raised our general awareness and made it possible for us to see and support business opportunities that would not have been seen without a high-functioning team.  These personal and professional opportunities have been invaluable to the Distinguished Companies, and we look forward to continued achievement with the participation of PL&L. The time and money invested with PL&L has been well spent, and I recommend PL&L to any company looking to improve performance and enjoy the journey to high achievement."

"Our company, Bermuda Digital Communications Ltd., has used Productive Learning and Leisure (PL&L) for an ongoing series of training sessions over the last two years.  Our goals were twofold; to learn specific communication and interpersonal skills, and to improve team spirit.  PL&L did a terrific job in helping us achieve both goals.  The trainers were very knowledgeable and familiar with the material, and were able to integrate our specific issues into the framework of the overall sessions.  In addition, PL&L was able to help us deal with at least two major problems that had not been identified prior to the sessions.  This, to me, was one of the major benefits of working with PL&L.  We are a better company because of the training, and we continually try to put into practice the skills we learned from PL&L."
