(We have a habit of bringing great people together: past participants are still trading information and supporting each other, even after their official Managing Excellence year ended.)
“Having Jane available for twice monthly Zoom calls was a game changer. Jane helped us determine what things we should simplify, prioritize, or even just get rid of. Jane also created a Teams chat line where we can connect with other managers any day of the year and discuss a topic to get an outside opinion. Managing Excellence has completely changed the dynamic of how my team and I operate with each other, and cultivated a great working relationship for us.”
~ Brandi Peralta, Director of Sales at Chesapeake Homes
“The forum to discuss issues, problems, and ideas was invaluable. Also to have Jane with her wisdom guiding the discussion was the best! The [Trainers Guides] gave me a starting off point for my personal preparation for team DC PRO meetings. Information sharing was THE BEST!!! I would 100% make the decision to do it again.”
~ Cinda Taylor, Design Manager, Ivory Homes
“ We have implemented over 20 initiatives already with many more to come. From more strategic ways to price and present products, to managing the customer expectations, to helping up-serve the customer – the list goes on and on. One initiative alone resulted in over 8% average design studio investment per customer! If you are unsure of the Managing Excellence course value, don’t think again. You will be amazed at the depth, growth, improvement, peer connection, and profit increase this program provides. It is truly a master level course with beyond measure benefits. Jane is the consummate expert in this field”
~ Corrine Bachman, Owner/VP at French Brothers
“Managing Excellence was an Incredible tool and time saver for me. Lively conversations and ideas on how other builders and Design Studios are handling and celebrating similar situations. Wonderful summary on topics and material.”
~ Kim Sandoval, Director of Corporate Marketing, Classic Homes
“Enrolling in Managing Excellence alongside the DC PRO program was an invaluable experience! The regular meetings with Jane and a small group of like-minded Design Studio Managers were a tremendous asset! With this kind of access to Jane, she has become a personal mentor and coach. It became a kind of therapy to come together in an intimate and personal setting and talk about our common challenges and share best practices that are unique to our role.
Above all else, I would be absolutely lost without the Trainers Guides provided through MX! It would have been worth enrolling in the program just for these. They provide invaluable tips on how to engage my team with the lesson material, and provide thought-provoking leading questions and suggested exercises to keep momentum going. They changed what could have been a quick re-cap discussion for each lesson into a much richer dialogue that we could no way cover in one meeting. There is enough support in these documents to keep my team engaged and growing for many years!”
~ Amanda Thackway, Design Studio Manager, Brookfield Residential
“I am absolutely satisfied with DC PRO and Managing Excellence! Gained valuable insight and put together two new guides based on these recommendations, and procured valuable supply chain, verbiage and process insights that we have already put into place!”
~ Whitney Harvey, VP of Sales & Marketing at Magnolia Homes
“Not does only DC PRO provide best practice training, it is also so much fun! For me it has been such a positive break from the day to day operations which has given me so much inspiration to continue to grow in my role as a Design Studio Manager.”
~ Jerai Laird, Design Studio Manager at New Traditions
“Thank YOU, Jane – meeting and working through DC PRO with our combined Milwaukee and Madison DC PROs-to-be is truly one of the highlights of my workweek!!”
~ Pete Lange, Sales Team Leader at Tim O’Brien Homes
