“Challenging”

“The training was a challenging, thought provoking, useful and a powerful exploration of my personal and vocational experiences. With Carla’s guidance I was able to experience how this understanding inspires my professional development.”

“Thought Provoking”

“I found the training to be extremely thought provoking… It was a fun interactive experience that helps define where you are currently and also gives you the tools to succeed in the future.”

Jason Schwalm

“Teaches from experience”

The great thing about Carla is that she teaches from experience. In my opinion there’s no better teacher than someone who has lived it. I walked away from her course with knowledge I could use to be a better asset to my company.

More Testimonials

We’ve worked with Carla for many years.  Most recently, we invited her to guide and support our executive team in a massive project:  transitioning from several disconnected technologies into a unified E.R.P. system.  She executed the knowledge transfer of existing processes from our controller, who retired, to a new CIO; participated in countless demos with Oracle and Microsoft to support the selection process; and passionately shared her servant leadership techniques with every member of our team along the way.

Carla’s expertise in business, process, and technology; combined with her passion for people to succeed, provides an exceptional experience for the team. Her organizational and facilitation skill accompanied by a hands-on approach with leadership training, provides a refreshing and extremely valuable experience for me as a business owner.  Carla already understands – you can trust her to facilitate the organization of your company with ease!

President, Owner – Fin Feather Fur Outfitters

The moment I met Carla, I knew there was something special about her. I was fairly new to the company and fresh out of college when Carla and CCS began working with us. I was asked to participate in a meeting to discuss the Employee Sensing Survey that I and the rest of my fellow employees had just completed. When I entered that meeting I did not know what I was getting myself into, but when I exited the meeting I realized that I had become a completely different person.

Being a young woman in the business environment, I didn’t know where my place was, but Carla and CCS have given me the tools and the confidence that I needed to become a better me.

Using kind, but effective words, Carla gave me the push I needed to become the best I can be, not only in the business environment, but in life. Thank you Carla and Clear Cut Strategies for all you have done for the company and for me. It has been an honor and a blessing working with you.

 Bri Woycehoski

I love working with Carla, she completely takes me out of my comfort zone and forces me to think outside the box. She has a very strategic way of presenting servant leadership and continuous improvement. Carla completely understands the mindset of all employees she encounters and is able to lead employees to open up and share.

Carla has a skill that many people say they have but few actually do. Passion for Servant Leadership, This could be the single most important tool for management. Empower employees, support employees, promote vision with employees, trust employees, and most of all serve employees. I firmly believe in servant leadership and Carla can coach this path quickly and smoothly.

I can’t say enough positive comments about Carla and the ownership for allowing us to work with her. I truly believe in Clear Cut Strategies and the principles they promote. I look forward to working with Carla in the future and I can honestly say we will be successful because of the tools she has given us. Thank you Carla

 Jeffrey Almy
Project Manager

When I was introduced to Clear Cut Strategies: I was unsure of what I wanted to do moving forward in our company.  On rocky ground with some relationships in both my business and personal life, I felt hopeless. I knew that there were different personality types; however. I honestly didn’t know that there is a technique to communicating with those in different personality “boxes”. CCS hit all of the areas that I needed and then some.

Carla really helped me turn my life around.  She gave me the tools to decide for myself what I really wanted in my life as well as how to move forward in the business.  Sure, you’ll have to look hard and deep and get out of your comfort zone at times; however it was worth every bit of it.

Mary Brown
Vice President – Brown Dairy Equipment Company, Inc.

“If I had to sum up the High Test – Peak Performance™ training class that I attended in a few words I would describe it as thought-provoking, educational, and worthwhile.

Sometimes we take the easy way out and see the worst in a situation and just give up. I now embrace and use the tools I learned in the seminar to diffuse and coach myself through tough situations.

Carla encouraged me to take a step back and analyze situations before acting/speaking impulsively to deal with customers in a friendly, effective, and professional way. This course also gave me a lot of insight as to how/why people or customers may perceive my actions or words and to be more in tune with how I am trying to communicate with people in general.

If you are looking for improvement in the areas of communication and all around human interaction in the business or social world I would highly recommend this course.”

Jessica Goggin
Credit Manager – E.J. Thomas

The first minute I met Carla Neer, she had my attention front and center!  This amazing bundle of energy, compassion, determination and love, instantly made me want to improve myself and interpersonal skills.

Typically, relating and getting along with people has always been easy for me, but I really struggled with confrontation.   Case in point; during one of our sessions with CCS an unplanned confrontation occurred before my eyes. I watched Carla skillfully stop the current session and take the session to a completely new unplanned learning experience.

Most importantly, I watched her listen….  That’s what struck a chord with me.  In that situation, I would always be trying to fix the situation or perhaps have all the answers.  I learned the most important aspect a Manager can have is the ability to listen and not have the answers.  Now, for a guy, that’s a tough pill to swallow!

 Scott Schmitt
Technical Training Specialist

Dennis Brown
President, Owner – Brown Dairy Equipment Company, Inc.

Carla was contracted to provide expert insight with some tough executive-level decisions I was facing.  Her proficiency at evaluating capabilities; helping to focus my priorities and confirming my thoughts was top notch.  Her recap strategy was so detailed and thorough; it could be used to compliment even the best executive coaching engagement.    Carla delivered a grade “A” experience.

 Michael James
CEO at Fireproof

Our growing company needed a professional outsider to reorganize our structure and Carla was an excellent choice.  The organizational problems we are facing were identified by the employees and managers in a confidential survey; once the survey results were reviewed, it was discovered that there were many areas of concern that need significant change.

Carla worked side by side with our President and Vice President making sure our topics were carefully discussed.  Carla holds herself to a very high standard of professionalism and continues to provide us with a roadmap of clarity.  I would highly recommend Carla for any organization with a desire to make positive changes.
