Client Experience

I wanted to let you know that your assistance has helped transform the organization. They have made some tough staffing decisions and let go of other staff members who were not doing their job. Over the course of three months, the organization has changed from losing money each month to generating +25K in revenue. These funds can now be used to help them reach more children and further their mission. I just wanted to share the news. You helped build the capacity of the Executive Director to execute his role, and now the organization is thriving.

Thank you!

– Michelle Costa, Director of Programs, Go Campaign

TESTIMONIAL

I really enjoyed your presentation about how to sell to D, i, S, and C leaders. It turned out to be really timely! This morning, we were introduced to a new Associate Vice President at an institution we’ve been working with, and I was so surprised to see how low-key, relatively slow-paced, and non-energetic he was. We adjusted our tempo toward his, lowered our voices, and did our best to match our High D and High i energies to his. After a while, he asked us whether we knew about the DiSC and asked us if we could guess what he is. I immediately said “S” and added how good it was to contemplate working with a person who really values the person behind the task as much or more than the task itself. He beamed from ear to ear, and expressed his admiration for our ability to pinpoint that he is a solid “S.”

Linda, I believe I would not have been anywhere near as confident in identifying the “S” without the benefit of your wonderful presentation. Thank you for helping us to make a good first impression on a leader who is very important to our future success at that institution!

It’s an absolute pleasure working with the entire Ethos team.  They took the time to get to know the strengths and weaknesses of our organization and provided guidance and leadership to help us accomplish our goals.  They designed a custom-made Human Resources strategy for our organization that included both on-site time as well as 24/7 support.  With the help of Ethos, we were able to streamline all of our HR processes and ensure that we were compliant with all state and federal regulations.  If you want the best, go with Ethos!”

TESTIMONIAL

“I’m writing this recommendation of Linda Duffy in her capacity as a speaker. I heard Linda speak on DiSC assessment a few years ago and found her presentation very valuable for those in the business and networking world. I recently invited her to speak to my business professionals in my Provisors group and the information is still excellent and relevant. The DiSC system helps people focus on their personality traits. While this is helpful, Linda’s presentation is particularly valuable because she trains people how to sell/market to different personalities and close the deal. What appeals to you may not appeal to others. I took the information from this presentation and immediately applied it to my clients and networking partners and have found it very insightful and relevant. If you want a great speaker for your next business event, Linda is the right person.”

TESTIMONIAL

Our entire team was able to benefit from Linda’s facilitation of a multi-session workshop designed to help us better understand everyone’s unique personality traits and improve our overall communication with clients and one another. Throughout the process, she demonstrated an articulate understanding of the Everything DiSC Workplace program, helped us unpack and interpret the results in a positive way, and guided us through a collaborative process with a confident, solution-oriented focus. I highly recommend Linda to anyone looking to take an honest look in the mirror about how they can improve their organization.

Ethos Human Capital Solutions’ Success Profile process shifted our recruiting conversation from ‘job duties,’ to specific, measurable goals that tie back to our business needs and objectives. Candidates appreciated the detailed expectation-setting, and we had clarity about how performance would be measured during the first year. While our company was searching for a new full-time recruiter, Linda Duffy’s team developed and implemented a recruiting system and functioned as our in-house recruiter until the position was filled. Their ability to understand our company’s overall business goals and culture is one of the key factors that sets Ethos Human Capital Solutions apart from other recruitment solutions.

It is my pleasure to recommend Linda Duffy and Ethos Human Capital Solutions. Linda was instrumental providing the HR leadership and direction for AMR as we set out to improve our HR corporate function. Linda is unique as she can not only provide HR direction, but also efficiently handle projects as needed. Linda is able to take into account management’s strategic goals, tolerance for risk, and tactical needs to craft an HR approach that works for an organization. Taking all of that into account, what for me stands out about Linda and her group, is not only their professionalism and knowledge, but the high standards they set for themselves and their integrity.
