She specializes in senior leadership coaching that results in powerful leadership, strong teams, and effective change management.

Larry Ferguson - Compass Consulting Group
Larry Ferguson owns and manages Compass Consulting Group (a division of Larry Ferguson & Associate, Inc.). His focus is on partnering with senior leaders and managers to identify ways of aligning performance with customer expectations to increase market share and customer retention. Depending upon the situation and desired outcomes, he employs a variety of tools to achieve results -- executive or individual coaching, workshops, retreats, online learning courses, training classes, self-paced study tools, etc. He is particularly skilled in assisting service teams that have lost their effectiveness due to internal political turmoil, lack of clear direction, or differences in work styles

Kim Blanquie - Summit Coaching
Kim is a successful coach and management strategist, who over the last 20 years, has worn many hats in the fields of real estate and finance; serving as a realtor, a processor, an underwriter, a loan originator, and an account executive to the lending and real estate communities. Over the years, she has also published many coaching and real estate related articles in The Scottsman Journal, Mortgage Originator Magazine, and other business and trade publications.

In 2003, Kim became a coach to top mortgage producers across the country when she took a coaching job with a company called Building Champions. As Kim worked with her managers, though, she noticed a recurring theme; even though most of them were once top producers, they found it could be difficult to motivate others and help their teams get the results they wanted. This realization, and a new focus on emotional intelligence, brought about the birth of her own company, Summit Leadership Coaching in 2004. Kim's mission now is to help managers motivate and lead high production teams.

In 2006 Kim became affiliated with the Anthony Robbins Companies. Tony's motivational strategies for success are well known, and Kim saw that aligning with them was an excellent way to bring even more value to her clients. Now she is the person that Tony Robbins sends his mortgage and real estate clients to. She loves working with them, and the Anthony Robbins Group has become a consistent and thriving pillar of her business.

Sincerely,
