Testimonials

“I can’t say enough good things about my experience over the last year with MTO. I would encourage anyone to take a look at the different programs they offer and the incredible knowledge they bring.”
Susan Coss, CMO & Co-Founder, Mezcalistas

“Working with Gretchen has been truly transformational. Through her guidance and using the conscious leadership tools that she and her colleagues have developed, I am now able to harness the confidence to express my voice and advocate for myself. This has led me to a profound sense of empowerment that has not only positively impacted my career, but has had a positive impact on every facet of my life. I am forever indebted and grateful for the work she has done in a short amount of time with me.”

Tracey Castle, 92nd President Sandpipers

“MTO EDU is a powerful program that helps businesses understand how to harness their power, vision, organizational values and company culture with authenticity. I appreciated that this wasn’t a cookie cutter one size fits all approach. The highly individualized program helped me focus on who Euphoria is as a business and be able to share that vision with employees, vendors, customers and social media messaging.

It was a truly transformative experience with real benefits for my business and for me as an entrepreneur.”
Bonnie Glass, Co-Owner, Euphoria Chocolate Company

“Working with Gretchen has been a transformative experience, as it has enhanced my overall well-being and equipped me with invaluable emotional intelligence skills, enabling me to navigate life’s fears and anxiety with greater resilience and emotional balance.”

Annie J., Coach & Consultant

The EQ at Work program that Gretchen rolled out with my team at AIKON while I was CEO was surprisingly impactful. Startup life is stressful and as a fully remote team, I was eager to provide the training, tools and support to help our team improve our company culture, accountability and interpersonal relationships. The people who attended most seemed to get the most out of it and as a regular attendee personally, I found myself having improved conversations with my team using the tools taught in the program.

Over time, the program received a lot of positive anecdotal feedback and our team dynamics continued to improve as the program went on. I found the ninety-minute, once a month format to be easy to carve time for and always enjoyed the time with my team. After five months, Gretchen surveyed participants and the feedback was even better than I expected with more than 85% saying it positively impacted their life and was valuable to our company culture.

The program is professionally run and I would recommend it for any team that prioritizes transparency and a healthy company culture.

Marc Blinder, CEO, AIKON
