Donna Marie assisted my business partner and I in refining our roles at a time when our business was changing and evolving. The unique skill that Donna Marie possesses is stepping into a business environment and very quickly understanding how the business works, objectively observing the players and deducing their strengths and weaknesses. She not only is gifted with people development; she hasgreat organizational strengths and know-how to initiate, follow through to completeany project she undertakes.

Our companies, Northwest Transcription Specialists and Silvercreek MTISC, Inc. provide medical transcription service and education/training for medical transcription students – both occur virtually nationwide. We underwent major changes as we centralized our operations at our Oak Harbor office in September of 1999. We had new IT systems, a new partnership, and were in the process of developing a new curriculum for our school. Donna Marie’s assistance in helping my partner and I define our roles in our partnership was invaluable.

Donna Marie also has worked with me on a personal basis in helping me redefine my priorities in order to find a balance that I so badly needed. She was able to help me look at the different aspects of my life and make decisions on what needed to be done before I could tackle other things that I wanted to do. Donna Marie possesses keen insight on how people feel and think, and is so supportive of the people that she works with. I always felt that she truly cared about what I was going through and yet was objective and honest in her appraisals of my situation.

I’ve known Donna Marie for years and I never cease to be amazed at her long list of abilities and accomplishments. She truly has a broad base of knowledge and experience that is hard to find, and is so valuable for people who have big dreams or projects that they need help in realizing.

Your mixture of humor, facts and the challenges presented to our group entitled "Leap and Releap" was one memorable experience. Your bio had indicated, among other things, that you enjoyed a teaching ministry to youth. I was impressed with your transition from that of a teacher to a professional business woman inviting your adult audience to reach out into new fields of endeavor. Your skill in communication to our professional group was enjoyable and well received.
