Testimonials
One hundred percent of Lenora's business has come via referrals by satisfied clients. That's remarkable enough, but what's truly extraordinary is the variety of businesses she's helped. Delighted clients include actors, CPAs, glass makers, realtors, talk show hosts, artists, speakers, agents, record producers, musicians and a sex educator. They range from CEOs of established companies to entrepreneurs just starting out.
Here's what some of them had to say about Lenora:
Lenora: Believe it or not, thanks to you, I enjoy every day and almost every minute doing what I do in my business! I know I would have done it without you, but you made it better and happen faster and easier than I would have been able to without your insight and assistance. Can you tell I'm enjoying what I do?

Thanks to Lenora, I started my new consulting business with a high degree of confidence along with the foundation and tools that I needed to jump-start my business. As a direct result of working with Lenora, I was able to generate triple the revenue that I had initially forecasted in my first 3 months. Her depth of experience, structured approach and insightful guidance coupled with her encouragement and focus on the positive is an unbeatable combination for the success of her clients.

Working with Lenora has changed the way I think about business. I used to think of business as grubby mercenary work that I wanted somebody else to do for me. Now I realize that business is about people and imagination and sharing our unique gifts with others. And no 'somebody else' can do that like I can.
In 12 weeks, Lenora has helped me with ways to think about what I want, what I produce and how to communicate the value of my work to clients.
If you want to expand your vision of what you might do for your 'living,' I recommend working with Lenora Edwards.

I had been meeting with Lenora for six months when one day we decided to tally the hours we'd spent working together. I was amazed to find out it was less than 23 hours. It's remarkable to me that in LESS THAN ONE DAY'S TIME my company now has:
- A fully defined brand
- A fully defined philosophy (including the 10 requirements for working with Boyntunes)
- Fully defined products ready for the marketplace
- A team assembled that utilizes 'unique collaboration'
- A financial and life balance plan for the coming year
- A marketing approach and strategy for each of my 'talent sources'
- An integrated way of working with each of my talent sources (this is a first in the 15 years I've been doing this work)
- An unwavering enthusiasm and excitement for the future
And those are just off the top of my head. I would recommend Lenora Edwards to anyone who's ready to make the right changes to get the right results!

Here is the best testimony I can offer on the value of working with Lenora Edwards. The day I first met Lenora I felt totally stymied by my work situation. I was rarin' to go, but I just couldn't seem to find the right combination to open the lock and let my dreams out. I was directed to Lenora by someone I respected very much and he GUARANTEED that she'd help me work some magic in my life. Well, he was absolutely right. Three months after working with Lenora, my work situation had exploded with new opportunities. I was given the chance to build an entire program from the ground up, a program that would make a difference in global healthcare, let me meet lots of interesting people, and pay a really good salary. I went from zip to Gates in those three months, and Lenora Edwards helped me every step of the way.
Lenora is the consummate professional, one who brings a wealth of experience and study of her clients. She takes the responsibility of her work very seriously, but not so seriously that she can't tell a good story about herself and have a good laugh when she hears a funny story. I always looked forward to our time together, but often for very different reasons. Sometimes our sessions felt like an oasis, a time for me to recover from a bad bout of self-doubt or anxiety about my future course of action. Or, it could be a chance to share a sense of excitement as my course became a bit clearer, a bit more real. No matter what, Lenora was wonderful at finding the right context, the right tools and the right work assignment to keep me moving ahead.
If you're ready to move ahead in your life, if you're ready to do the work, and if you're ready to change your life–well, Lenora Edwards is the right person to help you along the way. I guarantee it.

Hire Lenora to help you. It will be worth it several times over.
The first thing you have to know about Lenora is that she does NOT do what she promises to do. She does three times more than she promises.
If I had truly understood what value Lenora would have been at the time I was deciding whether or not to invest in her services, it would have been a very easy call. Instead, I was a little vague about exactly what I would receive as a result of working with Lenora.
Looking back over the last couple of months, here's what I 'got for my money':
George Walther,
- A very deep and insightful analysis of my whole professional situation, which certainly included–and went far beyond–the primary objective of the project in the first place: Re–branding my professional image.
- Lenora has also made very important connection for me. She has brought to my attention suppliers, potential clients and even a quite promising potential business partner. I never expected this. And she never promised it.
- Finally–and this is very important to me–my time with Lenora has brought great enjoyment. I love intellectual stimulation and this is one woman who can track with any conversation on any topic. She's bright, delightful to be with, completely committed to helping her clients and absolutely reliable. Her foundation stone is integrity in both intellect and action and I admire her tremendously.
Speaking from Experience
Call Lenora. Your only regret might be that after six weeks you'll end up being too busy to meet with her. She's that good.

Everyone in the field of advertising is told that the four most powerful words to use in persuasive copy are 'free,' 'new,' 'improved' and 'you.'

If you're ready for a major shift in your professional life, Lenora is the one to make it happen. Call it coaching or consulting…doesn't matter. What it IS…is true transformation.
You start by answering lots of questions. Deep questions that surface your most important skills, challenges, hopes and yes…DREAMS. Then she transitions you to the exercises. They flesh out some pretty amazing revelations about yourself. That transitions into the communication phase. Before you know it, you've discovered how to position your personal brand. You not only understand that brand, but you know how to share it with others. But the most unexpected benefit is…your confidence. You KNOW who you are and why what you do matters to others. You get you. So, now others get you. Lenora isn't just getting you ready for transformation; she's leading you through it. If you want to make a major shift, call her. Be ready, 'cause it's going to happen.

It was very helpful to me to be able to talk about my business on a personal level. I don't have anyone who can provide an objective opinion that mixes both personal feelings and sound business advice. You are excellent at recognizing the intense integration of these, making me comfortable about it.
…for people in my field…there is no water cooler to get your bearings, we are somewhat isolated. I think artistic types will really appreciate this.
You got me to act, to remember my worth and re-appreciate my accomplishments.

You are so specific and what you've helped me with is so tangible. You are excellent at what you do and it's rare to find someone with your skills, love, vibrant personality and downright practicality.
You bring so much value to your clients, it's hard to summarize it all. Anyway, thanks for everything! I've been blessed to work with you AND to have you as a friend.

If you fear change, if you want your life to stay the same, if you want to continue to deny your innermost dreams and aspirations, I recommend that you DO NOT HIRE LENORA EDWARDS!
Now, having said that, if you have a desire to make your dreams become reality, Lenora Edwards can help you do it.
I admit I was skeptical when beginning my time with Lenora. Could she really deliver on the promises she made when our work began?
Well, just listen to this…
In just a few weeks time I am amazed at how much has been accomplished. I am now a corporation. I have a clear plan in front of me to acquire new business. I have moved into new offices and I have the tools and wherewithal to make my plans succeed. I now ask and receive what my services are worth and I would not have had the confidence to do any of these things if it were not for Lenora.
I am proud to say I am a client and even more proud to say that I count her as a friend.

Lenora has been enormously helpful to me and I am happy to provide a reference for her.
I was just starting out, but I did have a "road map" laid out, when I hired Lenora. I hired her because I had no experience in manufacturing, and she was highly recommended to me as someone who could really help me in that area.
Lenora's energy and intelligence are infectious. She is someone that will help you look at your business in a new way. In one of our first phone meetings, Lenora pointed out several things I was doing that were not making sense: e.g. they were expenditures that were not helping my business grow. She gave me the confidence to eliminate the things that were not working and replace them with more profitable choices. Over time as we continued to work together, her advice was invaluable to me. She has helped me to "think big" and really see the potential of my business, along with providing concrete suggestions for how to get there.
Lenora has a talent for connecting people who can help each other. She has introduced me to several people who I have since hired to play critical roles in my business. On the flip side, when the inevitable difficult people out there rear their ugly heads, Lenora has helped me navigate those situations calmly and confidently.
Bottom line, her services were critical to my success during my first year in business. The money I spent on her consulting fee was one of the smartest investments I made.
I am happy to answer any further questions, and I can be reached at the number below. Best of luck to you–

When I first considered hiring Lenora to help in setting up my business as an independent sales rep, I had just been offered a contract with my first client. I wasn't convinced that I now needed her services since it seemed that things were moving forward on their own. However, after an initial informal meeting with Lenora, I immediately realized the value of what she brought to the table.
Lenora didn't just encourage me to ask for more than I "thought" I was worth but, because of her vast business experience, she backed it up with facts and information on industry standards providing me with insight that only comes from years of experience. As a result of her coaching, I've become an empowered business person and am confident that my company will grow beyond my most ambitious expectations.
Not only did Lenora guide me through the contract negotiation with my first client (in which I made back far more than her fee), but she's helped me strategically plan my long term business goals and, ultimately, early retirement. I'm totally convinced that Lenora's my Guardian Angel!
Lenora isn't for everyone, however. Don't call Lenora if you're completely happy in your current situation; if you're afraid to live up to your potential; or if you don't want to see your business and personal goals grow by leaps and bounds. I honestly believe that to NOT employ Lenora's services is to hold yourself back from opportunity, creativity, and growth in both business and personal goals. What are you waiting for?
(And she makes a totally mean chocolate coffee cake,too!)

Boundless Results
One of the best decisions I made this year was hiring you as my business coach. As a result of our work together…
- I better understand the value I bring to my clients and how my fees reflect that value.
- I have made good choices from the myriad marketing strategies my company could adopt and can 'let it go' when ideas that are off the mark surface.
- My office runs more smoothly with clear roles and effective communications.
- I have great referrals for Professional Photography, Intellectual Property Services and Internet Marketing. You are a connector.
- I am making more money and having more fun!
And true to your reputation, the changes you helped me work through more than covered your fee.
I have recommended you to other business owner/entrepreneurs and will continue to do so. I know you will continue to enjoy the success you help others find.

Working with Lenora was a truly transformative experience for me on all levels. Not only has my business revenue quadrupled as a result of her influence, I feel much more confident and excited about running my business day to day as a result. Lenora is the most supportive person I have ever met and she is absolutely focused and dedicated to your best possible outcome, both personally and professionally. Plus she always brings her great good humor to any situation and this allowed me not to feel so overwhelmed all along the way, no matter what the subject. Without question, Lenora is worth every penny of your investment. Prepare for big change coming your way! Lenora is a powerhouse of insight and intelligence and you won't regret a moment of working with her!
