Testimonials
Why DSWA Coach Excellence® School? Because it works! We encourage you to listen to dozens of success stories from our wonderful students.
“All of the training and coaching that I have received from the DSWA and Coach Excellence School has been fun, interactive and invaluable.
As a former teacher, I appreciated and recognized the holistic approach to training (utilizing auditory, kinesthetic and visual learning styles). This created an environment for greater comprehension and ability to apply the skills in my personal and business life almost immediately. The workbooks and audio/video trainings are exceptional.
With my goal to become a better listener and communicator I appreciated immersion, practice and real-life situations throughout the virtual training. The benefits to my business, community, family and friends is already obvious and priceless.
With so many opportunities through DSWA and Coach Excellence School with the DSWA App, Social Media, books, audio programs, classes and coaching, I believe I will continue to improve in all areas of my life.
As a life-long student I can say with a grateful heart that few programs have impacted my thinking, myself, family and business like the DSWA Coach Excellence School.”
— Barbara W. • Top Sales Director in Leading Direct Selling Company
“Advanced Coach School raised my skills up a notch. The class elevated my Active Listening skills so that I am not only hearing what is being said and formulating my response but focusing on the totality of the person as I read between lines. The quality of questions I ask helps me bring my client to a breakthrough faster than before. My questions become more intentional to move my clients to take action faster. I am more grounded in my emotions, focus and Intentions during conversations with my clients as I become better at active listening.”
— Bunmi Ajibade • DSWA Certified Coach and Lead Consultant for Clarole.com
“Thanks to both of you and your staff for this life changing experience in the DSWA Coach Excellence Express. My husband really wasn’t looking forward to the school because he didn’t think he needed it or he would benefit from it. I’m so glad he said yes and we were both able to receive this “gift”. It was such a meaningful, fulfilling and transformational week benefiting us both in business and our personal relationships. It was not just good, not just great, it was WOW! I feel like I have had cataract surgery on my life and now I can see with so much more clarity and vision.”
— Linda M. • AVON Executive Leader
“I’m probably more proud of the recent accomplishment of completing the Advanced DSWA Coach Excellence School than even my college degree! Probably because what I’ve learned through this Advanced Level of Coaching Certification has allowed me to significantly impact more people eternally both in AND out of the business!”
— Mary Gronholz • Senior Sales Director in a Leading Direct Selling Company
“I want to personally thank you from the bottom of my gracious heart for the DSWA Coach Excellence School. This has been an INCREDIBLE seminar year of not only success, but breaking belief barriers. It was for sure due to your amazing coaching school and staff! I can’t wait to retake both levels again. Once again, thank you!”
— Cheryl Riead • Senior Sales Director at a Leading Direct Selling Company
