| A Few Words from Our Clients |
“If you want change for the better, Tim Thomas
is someone you need to meet. Tim is a valuable partner
for improvement with a triple-play of organizational development
expertise: He has the gifted insight to define/address
business needs, a process-fluency for the people-side of
change, and a highly-effective facilitation style that
brings out the best in everyone. Tim will help you to make
worthwhile improvements that last.”
Scott Carroll, Director of Operational
Excellence,
Catalent Pharma Solutions |
“As a new manager,
the training provided by Tim has been priceless. The techniques
he introduces, coupled with the enthusiasm he brings to
the classroom have enabled me to grow in my role supervising
individual employees. Additionally, the scheduling of his
instruction allowed for me to not only absorb the material
but immediately apply it and deliver feedback during subsequent
open forums. This style is far different and more practical
than management seminars providing instruction over just
a few short days.”
John Havrilla, Manager - Client Services
Group,
The Keane Organization |
"Tim Thomas provided program creation,
leadership development training, team development facilitation
and personal coaching to 11 manufacturing and packaging
sites of Cardinal Health and Catalent Pharma Solutions
during the years 2006 through 2008. He was a key member
and creator of the organizational development portion of
lean six sigma breakthrorugh implementations which resulted
in significant cost/cash savings and customer satisfaction
improvement. In addition, Tim provided change management
and change resistance training to Master Black Belts and
Black Belts at a unique two day conference for both companies.
Tim's personal style and deep subject matter expertise
were recognized by all who attended any of his sessions
and were touched by his passion. The best indication
of the value of his skills is his becoming part of the
team and, as we implemented improvement initiatives,
Tim's training became an integral and expected part of
the process. Because of the recognized value of Tim's
training, he provided further "train the trainer" coaching
for internal resources to facilitate internal replication
of the skills."
Bill Bolding, Director, Operational
Excellence
Catalent Pharma Solutions |
“Tim has the great
ability to motivate professionals to want to become better
at what they do. His Leadership Development programs force
executives to take a good look at themselves, the businesses
they manage, and the relationships they have with their
colleagues and employees. If you are looking for someone
to assist in bringing your department, business unit, or
company to new heights, I highly recommend Tim Thomas and
his Makarios Consulting team.”
Michael Kelly, Director, Cadient Group
hired Tim as a Business Consultant in 2007 |
“The Complete Leader course (it is a life experience,
really) should be a requirement for all new managers! Makarios
provides participants with the communication tools necessary
to deal with just about any situation (conflict, employee
performance issues, and change management). I look at my
leadership position in an entirely different light now
that I am armed with the resources and information this
course provided.”
Dan Johnson, VP of Sales
The Keane Organization |
“I was impressed with
your thorough needs assessment of my business, including
an astute evaluation of our strengths and weaknesses….The
suggested solutions through training that you made have
netted results well beyond my expectations. Through several
very effective one-on-one coaching sessions I have become
a better, more efficient manager, helping my staff to become
more productive and more content. The business has grown.
Your services have been an extremely worthwhile investment
in my company.”
Paula P. Cosden, Owner/Director
The Margaret George School & Child Care Center |
“Tim was hired to provide leadership coaching
and executive development. I found his approach to be professional
and educational. Goals we agreed to from the onset. We
determined the areas for the biggest opportunities for
growth. Ultimately, Tim armed me with the tools and the
processes to allow me to be more self aware and to self
coach. I felt that my output improved and my leadership
skills were significantly improved after working with Tim.
I would recommend him to anyone looking to drastically
improve their leadership skills.”
Greg Lewis, VP of Sales
Cadient Group |
“The three day training
program was definitely a success and I believe we accomplished
our primary goals of increasing effectiveness in managing
projects, improving communication with other team members
and facilitating team meetings to maximize results. I greatly
appreciated your work and effort to customize the program
and tailor it to fit Lincoln’s specific needs. The
flow of the program was well-structured and kept everyone’s
attention throughout. I also believe your training methods
that centered around small group work and your emphasis
on the importance of all participants sharing their experiences
is what drove the active group engagements and ultimately
a successful program.”
Michael C. Hollis, Group Leader
The Lincoln Electric Company |
“You were everything a true customer-focused
consultant should be: eager, responsive, insightful, knowledgeable
and flexible …. You truly have a gift for connecting
with your audience at the very knowledge and skill level
they are operating from and taking them to higher levels
of learning in a very caring, collaborative way.”
