    • “I have known Dr. Linda Burrs for about 10 years. In fact our working relationship predates her becoming Dr. Burrs and President and CEO at Step Up To Success. I first met Linda when she was the manager of sales training. Even then, she approached her responsibility with enthusiasm, energy and clear focus. Her ability to strategize, coach and deliver training was something I had not seen and even today ranks among one of the most enriching experiences I have been involved in. She approaches every task in a way that significantly helps teams, individuals and organizations achieve their goals. Today, like yesterday, her main goal is to help teams unlock their productivity and the untapped energy that is there. Throughout the years I have contracted her to help me and my teams win and reach their goals. Whether she is Linda Burrs, Manager or Dr. Burrs, President, she approaches her tasks with an endless dedication. She is a star and if your business needs an injection of enthusiasm, drive or passion for winning, she is one of the best elixirs that you could obtain…”Carlton Dyce

    • “I have partnered with Linda to address organizational effectiveness within teams. She worked with me on a project that others thought would be impossible to deliver and helped me provide excellent/valuable results. This project involved about 100 clients and Linda helped design and deliver a day-long session resulting in a 4-5 rating with 1 being the lowest. Linda took an ambiguous and complex project and turned it into something the client could embrace and value. She helped deliver strategies that my client could use to drive better services and streamline processes. This also included techniques on how to collaborate more effectively through the understanding of personality styles and work dynamics. Linda is also a board member of an organization that I partner with from time to time. In this role she has been insightful in directing the group on how to manage through organizational dynamics while leveraging the expertise and resources of executive leadership.” Tracy Bennett
