  • Thank you! What wonderful, difficult, necessary, affirming, emotional journey you took us on. It re-introduced to me what is important in my life, it gave me the framework to examine my life based on my core versus what is necessary day to day.

    It gave me the big picture perspective. Thank you for facilitating my journey and providing such a great group of women to accompany me on that journey.

  • I am excited to announce I am heading into my “dream” life and it all started at “The Power of You” workshop several years ago.  With continued focus and energy after leaving the seminar everything I envisioned is coming true!  I would not be where I am today without the powerful tools and inspiration from the workshop.  I am so grateful!

  • There are many people who helped make Service Paper successful over the 75 years of doing business in the Pacific Northwest. There is only a handful though, who helped us to be wildly successful and Beroz was one of them. Beroz was a trusted advisor to me as the CEO and our Senior Management Team. She also provided invaluable consulting, team development, coaching, skills training & conflict resolution for our entire staff. I would highly recommend her for anyone thinking about taking their company from good to great.

  • Beroz has provided leadership development for our team at YearUp Puget Sound. Amongst other things, Beroz is exceptionally skilled at understanding not just what is being said, but what is happening at the deepest levels of the team. She observes things that are not transparent to all others, and is fearless and compassionate in bringing everyone to understanding and alignment. I would recommend her for any team that is looking to take themselves to a greater level of performance.

  • Beroz has done great work for us in strategy and succession planning over the past 13 years.

    She was an integral part of our CEO leadership succession planning. Lots of hard work resulted in a successful transition which was thoughtful and responsive to our company’s culture. Beroz provided valuable perspective and insight to us in this process. I enthusiastically recommend her as a resource for this work and would be happy to provide a direct reference for her.

  • I want to honor and acknowledge your support and encouragement of me as a professional woman. Over the years you have surrounded me with opportunity, challenged my thinking, given me helpful feedback and urged me to dream big. Without your coaching I know I would not be where I am today. What words are sufficient to express my gratitude – perhaps not any…THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! You have helped me to become a better person and you continue to inspire the best in me.

  • You are the best, and I’m so grateful that you came into my life. I have to tell you that I’m happier than I’ve ever been, and I think a lot of it has to do with your course and your influence. Having the time and the coaching and the support to realize what is most important to me and what I want to focus on in my life was a tremendous gift.

  • Thank you for such an incredible experience. I came away from the workshop refreshed and energized with a clear picture of what I want. How rare is that in life, and how very valuable! I am so thankful for you sharing your talents with us to help us realize our full potential. It was truly a great experience for me. Thank you for your great vision, compassion, and support. It really made a difference for me!

  • I am still processing Power of you, but I can honestly say with 100% assurance that it has changed my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Holly Wolfe
    Power of You Workshop Participant

  • The Power of You was a transformative experience for me. During and after the workshop, I felt deeply connected with myself, my fellow participants, and the workshop leaders, Beroz and Rose. I was able to bring clarity and give voice to my personal and professional visions and desires. I left the workshop feeling alive, inspired, and grateful. When I look back at that time, I still feel that way.

  • After Power of You, I was able to quickly implement valuable tools that gave me the incentive to achieve significant goals I had been sitting on for a long time because I didn’t think I was able to make them happen. I learned to focus on progress not perfection each step of the way!

    Kathy Lampert
    Power of You Workshop Participant

  • I was initially concerned that the Power of You workshop wouldn’t be “meaty” enough because it was women only. Instead I found the workshop to be grounded in solid business related material and the opportunity to work with women only provided a safe environment for women to be vulnerable and explore personal issues that ultimately led to a better understanding of who they are which in turn allows them to lead from a space of authenticity.

    What I came away with was a much better understanding of who I am, and how I perceive each and every situation and why I make the decisions I make. In learning this about myself I also gained a better understanding about how others respond and perceive situations as well. Using these new tools, my leadership is more inclusive and patient and I work to understand what each member of the group needs so that we can reach agreement and our common goal with better clarity and success.

  • Take twelve women ranging in age from their 20s to 60s with diverse backgrounds in corporate and non-profit arenas, add two skilled facilitators, and stir. It’s a recipe for a richly rewarding experience over two and half days that resets the foundation of a lifetime of learning and self-knowledge. Not a woman in attendance walked away unchanged.

    Defining leadership and success; excavating core values; leveraging individual strengths; gaining self-clarity; setting a course of action and a concrete plan; ensuring support systems are in place; and, developing increased confidence and a strong sense of self were at the heart of the workshop. The tools with which we were gifted will serve me both professionally and personally for the rest of my life.

    There were tremendous resources available: the collective wisdom and camaraderie of articulate, intelligent, powerful women, as well as the extraordinary leadership of compassionate and insightful program developers, who brought decades of experience to the table. As a result of the workshop, I am no longer who I was; and am now more of who I am.

  • In my experience, Beroz brings an incredible presence and capacity for bringing heart into relationships between people who are working together. I have had the joy of working with her in a professional setting and as colleagues open up in her presence, I have wondered, “how does she do that?” The more I work with her, the more I notice how attentive she is to the small things that build connection.

  • Curiosity, trust and the FUN factor are front and center when I’m working with Beroz and The Point. Being part of a small team, it’s tough to meet one’s day-to-day obligations and see ahead.

    Beroz creates a successful blueprint for both by aligning skills to projects and coaching you to be your best self. She guides you and your group to effectively achieve outcomes through her HR savvy, organizational development experience and people know-how. Because of her caring and driven approach, I’m eager to learn about future work, the potential and myself!

  • I like to think I lead an examined life, which is to say, that I believe I work hard on expanding my understanding of myself and others. Yesterday you opened up worlds of new understanding and appreciation for me. Truly life changing. I will always be grateful for the opportunity to have met you. As a dedicated professional, you inspire others to fulfill their own promise. As a thoughtful and sensitive human being, you are a healer, who builds self-esteem and confidence in those of us who have the good fortune to cross your path. Your guidance has prompted a personal renewal of hope and enthusiasm. Thank you.

  • Beroz Ferrell is a dynamic and persuasive leader, both in a group situation, as well as one-on-one. During the “Power of You” workshop I attended, she brought together women leaders from various fields, providing us with insights about ourselves to help us reach our potential – both in our personal lives and our careers. She’s a wonderful speaker who really knows people, uses humor to make her points, and is generous with her time and expertise.

  • I have had the pleasure of working with Beroz at two different companies over the last 13 years. I appreciate the insight and positive energy she brings to strategic and leadership challenges.

She provides practical tools that help us set clear expectations and achieve great results. She is truly an integral member of our very successful team.
