Long term strategies lead to long term results; but don’t take our word for it! See what our clients have to say about their own experiences and how Center Stage helped them create the reality they wanted.

Whitney Johns Martin, Texas Women Venture Fund is a brilliant strategist who has led a ground-breaking charge for change in private equity, venture, and mezzanine debt financing. Whitney holds a law degree, sat on the Federal Reserve Board, and was a national president of NAWBO among many other accomplishments. She has used the Center Stage information multiple times to develop investor pitches to raise capital for the fund she leads and to train the executive teams of portfolio companies.

Tim Stephens, Stephens Consulting, is a highly sought after IT consultant who develops IT strategies for such world-celebrated medical centers as MD Anderson in Houston and Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles. Traveling the country, reaching out to teams of people he barely knows, and convincing them to approach problems differently is a challenge for anyone. Center Stage gave Tim deep insight into effective techniques to build rapport quickly and inspire people to make needed changes.

Jill Frank, President of Sterling Communications, is a digital marketing guru, high-tech entrepreneur, and former TV sports broadcaster. Transitioning from the very specific format required by television to being comfortable making business presentations with the same ease presented a challenge. Once Jill learned the process of Center Stage, she was able to put her concerns aside and devote all her energy on the quality of her communication.
