Kimbrough, VP-Human Resources (retired)
Your "Living on Purpose" seminar is excellent! Well designed,
powerful and thought provoking. I especially liked the sequencing,
pace and adult learning style methodology.
Monice Hagler Tate, Partner:
Fearnley, Califf, Martin, McDonald & Tate, Attorneys at Law
You created an excellent environment for discussion and exploration
by my staff. As evidenced by the feedback surveys, this program
was a complete and total success (in the City Attorney's office).
The positive effects were immediately present in our office
- and could be applied to our personal as well as professional
lives. Your professional presentation was only enhanced by
the personal emphasis you put into your project. We could
not have better benefited from the time we dedicated to this
workshop. It was well received and appreciated by the entire
staff.
The University of Tennessee,
Memphis, Mary McCain, Professor and Chair, UT Intercultural
Relations Committee
"Valuable and time well spent . . .left us much more aware
of all the aspects of diversity. (Your) approach was appropriate
for the physicians, administrators and faculty who were present
and could be adapted for most levels of employees. I appreciated
your ability to keep the group on course and working toward
achieving our goal of awareness, and appreciated your tailoring
the day for us, knowing you condensed a great deal of information."
Amy Barton - President, HSMAI Mid-South Chapter
I just wanted to take a moment to "Thank you" for speaking at our HSMAI Mid-South Chapter membership luncheon event. Our members truly appreciated the presentation on Integrity-Based Communications. The take-away on the six actions to positively affect success were presented with wit and humor so that our members will remember them and be able to use them in their personal and professional lives. By customizing the presentation to our specific groups and using examples gathered from our members, you showed us that you truly care about our success.
Shelley, thank you again for the presentation. I will recommend you to
anyone I come in contact with that requires a dynamic speaker on one of the 'Hot Topics' facing our world today.
International Paper, Nicole
Fuller, Financial Analyst
You were both awesome. I learned a lot! I especially liked
the (anger management and conflict resolution) role playing
at the end. At this point, we were able to put into practice
what we had learned at the beginning of the class.
Memphis Area Teachers'
Credit Union, Judy Bell, VP-Human Resources
You both did such a fantastic job with our Leadership Team.
I have had so many positive comments from our managers. Thank
you again and I am looking forward to working with you both
in the future.

Memphis Sales Club, Ozie
Polite, Program Committee
Your presentation addressed an audience of different racial
backgrounds with unbiased, clear and concise deliverance.
It was well prepared, including personal encounters of your
vulnerability and growth to which you confronted perceptions
and secured opportunities. There were no stones unturned.
You demonstrated how human sensitivity and communications
are essential in building partnerships among races. I commend
you for your tactfulness and bravery in challenging all races
to review their thinking on this vital matter. Furthermore,
recognizing cultural diversity is the backbone that develops
cultural empowerment for our nation's economical and social
survival. Your summation was riveting, it grabbed and shook
me into reality . . . Bravo!
Memphis Area Teachers'
Credit Union. Ray P. Algee, President/CEO
Our Leadership Team found your presentation to be very enjoyable
and informative. The information you shared with us regarding
our mission and purpose will make it much easier for us to
reach our goals in the future by becoming "on-purpose" people.
Federal Express (retired),
Marcia G. Taylor, Manager, Automation Revenue Management
The professional and personal experience you both have with
diversity and anger management has allowed each of us to look
at our own differences and biases in a very safe environment,
sharing those experiences with our colleagues. I firmly believe
that the integration of diversity must begin at the individual
level in each of our hearts and for the staff to want to use
these concepts at home indicates to me that the methods you
use to deliver the material are making a significant impact.
Senior Services, Deborah
H. Cotney, President
I've been very pleased with the training programs for our
nursing assistants. They asked to have you back, and for me
that is the true measure for successful presenters. Not only
do they feel they have gained valuable information, but they
leave the sessions feeling better about themselves, their
positions, and the service they deliver to our patients.
Leadership Collierville,
Janette L. Vaught, Glenn Storck, Program Co-Chairs
The workshop was a gratifying experience which brought us
to a better awareness of the need for, and benefits of, a
diverse community.
Memphis Area Teachers'
Credit Union, Dora Robinson, Branch Director
Very informative, inspirational. ("The Phoenix Seminar")
allowed me to grow and stretch my mind tremendously. I wish
I had this seminar long, long ago. Thank you very much. Bless
you both.
Leadership Memphis, Pan
Awsumb, Executive Director
Your personal approach encourages strong interaction and personal
reflection without being intimidating. Your arrangement of
workshop exercises was appropriate and well thought-out.
Federal Express, Ferdinand
Holmes, Manager, Automation Revenue Management
You are to be commended for your professionalism, sacrifice,
commitment and results. I found your visual aids and other
materials to be appropriate, providing theoretical and practical
perspectives while facilitating processing. You exemplified
sincerity in your presentation based on "real world perspectives."
The discussions were non-confrontational, controlled with
professional overtones, and conducive to inward personal assessment
based on one's experiences and desire for continuous improvement.
You encouraged participation while being respectful of differences.
Certainly, you captivated the attention of the class participants
as subject matter experts in the area of diversity, especially
the residual benefits in the workplace and community.
American Medical Security
Health Plan, Inc., Eric B. Taylor, CEO
Shelbe & Associates uses interactive training, didactic learning
and social skills to assess organization and corporate diversity
issues. Through these training elements, they have been extremely
successful, by generating positive outcomes in improving diversity
and leadership in a changing cultural society. I recommend
them, without reservation, for diversity, leadership training,
and strategic planning.
The University of Tennessee,
Douglas F. Rose, MD, Faculty Senator, Division Chief Neurology,
Department of Pediatrics, Associate Professor
I think this would be a good method (Diversity Training) for
all staff at UT-Memphis. (As a result of this training) I
will try to understand people in terms of their own personality
styles, learn what their goals are, and learn what issues
are important to them.
Lee Hecht Harrison, Kathy
Carmean, VP
I was impressed by your handling of the challenging group
dynamics. Your ability to keep the participants focused on
the issue at hand and the respectful way you restated comments
no doubt contributed to the successful outcome.
Tennessee Commission on
Aging, Carolyn H. Stearnes, VP-Family Support Services Division,
Senior Services
Your skill at information gathering allowed you to develop
a daylong session that met all of my objectives. The two of
you transitioned seamlessly, which is sometimes difficult
with dual trainers. Most of all, I appreciate the fact that
you were able to incorporate fun unto the learning process.
Those attending evaluated the session VERY HIGHLY. This was
certainly no surprise to me based on my previous experience
with Shelbe & Associates presentations.
St. Jude Hospital, Ben
Stafford, RN
Your presentation today on conflict resolution was excellent.
As you spoke, I realized that I have not been handling recent
conflicts well. I did not have the tools to defuse the situation.
My new level of recognition is a great achievement. Thanks
again for an excellent day and your positive attitude.
The University of Memphis,
Barbara D. Davis, EdD, Assistant Professor, Management
Your practical tips about "Clear Communication and Relationship
Building" were insightful and helpful. Thank you for sharing
your experience and insight with all of us.
The University of Tennessee,
Carol Dobbs, RN, PhD, CNAA, Assistant Professor
Your sessions created a positive change in behavior among
staff who attended. Most noticeably their ability to value
diversity and respect their coworkers was enhanced. As a result,
teamwork and efficiency improved. You have been very helpful
in getting the staff to work toward a common vision.
