“… BPSS understood … that to be most effective, professional development had to be closely integrated with health and wellness training. Everyone needs healthy habits in order to thrive… But for bus drivers, they are an especially key professional tool. Stretching and breathing are critical to staying personally centered and self-possessed. Every boarding passenger and every traffic incident has the potential to throw the operator off balance, and challenge professional judgment. Without the physical component, the core theme of the bus driver learning curve will not achieve its best potential: Encounter, Defuse, Let Go, and Re-Center. While BPSS drew those four stages out of the experience of bus drivers, they are useful for any person who wants to achieve greater effectiveness on the job or in life. … The results of training new bus drivers were impressive. VTA aggregated data from a number of key performance metrics, and compared results for drivers who received training and a control group that did not. Mentored drivers always did significantly better. … The training program works, and again, I recommend Balance.point in the strongest possible way.”
Tom Fink, Co-Founder and former Director, Joint Workforce Investment

“Balance.point was the glue that we needed in that partnership. … It is easy sometimes to have a partnership at the table in negotiations, and shake hands with an employer; but when you come to the application of the training, then here come the challenges. It was very smooth sailing with Balance.point. … (This type of partnership) helps the community. A trained worker is going to be happy at the workplace, is going to feel that he can move forward, that he can transfer to a better position, and at the end, as a whole, it has great results.”
Enrique Fernandez , International Vice President, UNITE/HERE Local 19

The Hilton San Jose is proud to have a partnership and relationship with Balance.point Strategic Services.”

“In the past, I would get intimidated and defensive when inmates or co-workers would get angry or display other threatening behavior. After training, I have learned techniques to stay calm in these situations. I am able to explain my point of view, and find ways to resolve conflict in a positive manner.”
CC, Special Education Teacher for a municipal jail facility

“I have been to many team building and strategic planning workshops. I usually end up drained and exhausted. But after this Balance.point workshop, I feel exhilarated and ready to work!”
MLG, Executive Director of a large non-profit organization

"The most significant thing I got out of this workshop was insight into the needs of others, and the means to get closer to understanding them. We have moved a step closer to understanding each others needs and expectations, and made the first steps to forming a team. The workshop created a basis for understanding and being more open between group members… the Balance.point approach is more effective than other approaches. It was accepted and received by more attendees than comparable workshops."
Martina Wagner, Ph.D at a large biotech corporation

“I’ve seen you use the same techniques several times now, to different groups of workers. Every time I think I’ve got it figured out, you come up with a different angle or way of seeing things! I always learn something new. Your trainings are very effective tools for our workers.”
EH, Safety Training Specialist of a Fortune 50 company

“… the Resource Recovery Facility (RRF) had just gone through a very disruptive investigation. … We needed to make some significant changes to improve the operations at the RRF. Deborah developed a work plan that included management/supervision coaching and counseling, review of work place organization and practices, and employee training, counseling and conflict resolution, that helped the transformation of this facility to a much improve(d) operation. … After a year, it is clear that the improvements were real. As with any organization, we continue to have issues, but the RRF as a whole is working much more as a unit and they have tools to deal with the issues that come along. ”

“The work you did with Martina and her ETMS team was successful and empowering for them. … all of the team members have grown in their understanding of how they fit within the greater organization, becoming a team with a common vision. The new members … are already making significant contributions. Martina has also become more mature in her management style ... I have no doubt that Martina will continue to be successful … by incorporating your coaching suggestions. I hope that you will continue in your excellent work with management teams within organizations like RMS in order (to) increase their effectiveness – you have already made a significant difference here.”
