"The Shift Positive experience was exactly that: positive. It was a great opportunity to receive direct feedback from my team and closest partners on what I do well and how I can do it even better. The feedback from my team and partners was that the experience was equally beneficial to them—they had moments of self-reflection and personal growth as well. It truly harnessed the power of a team working together and supporting one another to drive greater success!"
Sr. Director
"Feedback is critical for awareness and improvement, yet in all my experience in product development and marketing, it is usually given and received poorly. Shift Positive 360 focuses on the solutions and not the problems, building commitment and connection in the people system. This is vastly superior to anonymous feedback given without due thought and consideration to feelings and support. I believe it will be highly effective in fostering agility and learning for my clients."
Leadership Coach
"The Shift Positive 360® Certification Workshop was a fantastic experience. The material we received was well thought out, organized, and very helpful.

The Shift Positive 360® is a unique process that engages your professional community in your development while creating a positive shift in relationships and collaboration."

"I've never felt more prepared to deliver a tool of any training I've had as I do with the Shift Positive 360. And I've done a lot of certifications! The combination of a strengths focus and engaging a system makes it a very unique tool. I'm excited to sell this with my clients."
Executive Coach, MAPP
"The Shift Positive 360 is more than a 360—it's actually a framework for change."
Certified Coach, MAPP
"The Shift Positive approach of building on strengths vs. fixing weaknesses was a mindset change that I'll continue working to adopt going forward. Pete effectively utilized this approach to get my peers and upline executives thinking differently as they committed to helping me become successful in project and career pursuits."
Sr. Director, Coaching Client
"Based on years of experience with conducting 360 reviews, I am excited to be certified in a narrative 360 approach that my clients and I truly look forward to initiating. By focusing on their strengths, my clients can create future oriented goals based on what they already do well. Enlisting allies for my client's development stimulates organizational connections and provides "fuel" for more energetic and supportive relationships. Kudos to Pete and Jen for weaving together various tools and approaches into an elegant means to elevate our coaching work with clients."
Leadership Coach
"Pete and Jen have done something remarkable—they have developed, pioneered, and proven a method that transforms the dread and unhelpfulness of the 360 into something to be savored by the recipient—one that triggers an upward spiral of positive change. Using a foundation of Positive Psychology research and verified approaches, they mobilize the social support system. Shift Positive 360 unleashes a powerful network for individual and cultural change with a style for giving and receiving feedback that is as welcome as it is effective!"
Certified Coach, PCC

"There is usually always something missing in the conventional ways we seek and provide feedback for personal and professional development. Not anymore! Shift Positive reframes the entire feedback (and development) process for everyone involved creating a meaningful, satisfying and productive outcome – and way to move forward."

"The value of this training is truly understanding and making the mind shifts and being equipped to bring those to this process and into organizations."
Certified Coach, PCC
"A great two days of experiences and learning with two really phenomenal coaches whose styles complement one another beautifully. They're filled with the utmost integrity and respect for each other—and for all others. The "human system" they talk about begins with them. The SP360 is more than a tool. It's like a navigational system that has the potential to shift cultures, not just individuals, in a positive direction. Gone is the anonymous and sophisticated bullying of the traditional 360. This might as well be called SP180, because it really takes off in the opposite direction—whole new territory—because an organization could use this to help chart the path for happier workplaces, develop multiple individuals simultaneously, open channels of communication, while inspiring whole organizations to hold everyone accountable for the best self of the organization overall. This is the true meaning of development. And it's done with the safety, compassion, and rigorous empirical research of positive psychology behind it. Yay for everyone!"

HR Director
"What if through meaningful dialogue and disclosure, your client had deeper, lasting change faster, and oh by the way, this process galvanized the clients stakeholders so that they were fully invested in the client's success because it also helped them to achieve the interviewee's goals and therefore the organizations? That's coaching. That's coaching with the Shift Positive 360."
Executive Coach
"I have always known that there had to be a better way to conduct a 360 assessment as well as a better way to provide feedback. This is the better way. End suffering due to 360s."
Director of HR and Executive Coach
