Sea Change Partners, LLC Client Testimonials

“In April of 2001, I engaged Rosanne and her firm to conduct a cultural alignment assessment and improvement program for a subsidiary of my company, DocuSource…Our personnel were very grateful that management invested in this process and provided a very safe and candid environment to address issues. We identified many areas where the expectations of job responsibilities and goals were out of sync with the employees’ understanding. Our staff not only identified issues with our environment, but also were participative in identifying solutions. Managers who were unaware of specific behaviors leading to poor morale and job satisfaction were clearly identified.

I can’t say enough about the quality of Rosanne’s work and her tremendous ability to create a safe and open environment for feedback. She was very professional in her confidential approach and articulated her findings in a comprehensive fashion.”
- Lester A. Walker, CEO, DocuSource

“I am writing to advise you of the very positive working relationship which ARCO China has enjoyed with Rosanne Ren over the past several years. My association with Rosanne began with a project to unify our pay practices in our Beijing office in 1996…Under Rosanne’s guidance and leadership, those four companies effectively worked together to create a unified pay structure, complete with career ladders and descriptions of skills required at each step. The impact of that work today is a well understood system, which all companies fully support…During 1997, Rosanne expertly chaired meetings for visiting HR executives and for our HR staff. Her facilitation skills led us to very positive results in both cases. Most recently Rosanne and I have worked on a master plan for transitioning management of our operation to our local partner….From the experiences listed above, it is clear to me that Rosanne Ren is among the most talented, and most energetic Human Resource Managers with whom I have ever worked. Her skills in developing and nurturing client relationships are also exceptional.”
- Thomas D. Pearce, VP HR, ARCO China

"My dealings with Elaine Weeman have extended over the past 5 years. She has distinguished herself from the ever-increasing pact of coaches and mentors selling their services with her compassion and talent for getting to the root issues which are negatively impacting a targeted outcome. I have every confidence in her ability to positively influence both organizational growth and personal development of key associates while keeping in sight the cost/benefit justification of engaging her services. Her programs have done a great deal to solidify the team culture and improve communication within my area of responsibility. I have nothing but respect and admiration for the discretion she exercises in dealing with all levels of individuals throughout an organization. Working with Elaine and her associates has been nothing but a positive experience with results always oriented toward impacting the bottom line. "
-Beth L. Thompson, Sr. Vice President, JPI Multifamily, Inc.-Property Operations

“Elaine, in January 2001, JPI conducted a leadership development program, “Blueprint for Change,” for 17 community managers in the Southern Division. Participants in this two-day workshop made specific commitments to increase their skills, take action on the job, and produce results at a higher level than previously achieved. Significant performance improvements and business results were realized. Surveys of the community managers’ supervisors indicated an overall 47% skills improvement in the three targeted competencies. In addition, the JPI Asset Management group evaluated the actions taken by the community managers during the 90-day follow up and attributed over $8 million of value added to the properties as a result of their projects. Your firm’s involvement from the strategic planning stage, to the needs analysis stage, to the design and delivery of the workshop and the post-workshop follow–up helped transfer workshop learning into workplace action…I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for the coaching services you have provided for the past seven years at JPI. You have energized our people, provided sensitive feedback, challenged and confronted when necessary and have helped our people grow tremendously. I personally benefited from the coaching by growing in my capacity to mentor others, and through understanding myself I have become a more effective leader of others. Since we began working together I have had several promotions and I count you among my greatest supporters.”
- Carol Peddy, VP/Div.Manager, JPI Operations

“Elaine, through your efforts and coaching, our team has developed tremendously. This growth has resulted in enhanced opportunities and increasing job satisfaction. These improvements have also had a significant impact on the “bottom line.” I forecast a 100% increase in 1st quarter 1991 profits over 1990.”
- Dennis R. McDaniel, President, Merit Texas Properties

"Rosanne Ren and Mark Weaver partnered with the Sabroso leadership team to build a culture for our company that would reflect our core values and support profitable growth. The project consisted of an evaluation of our leadership team's effectiveness, definition of our targeted culture and an assessment of our current culture. It culminated with a set of practical and specific recommendations for enhancing leadership effectiveness and achieving our targeted culture, which we are in the process of implementing. Mark and Rosanne were highly effective in working with our leadership team, our managers and other employees, and delivered results beyond our expectations."
- Jim Root, CEO of the Sabroso Company

“Ms. Weeman's tools for dealing with challenging interpersonal professional relationships are "real world" and not just based on theory. Through the coaching program, I gained self-confidence and an awareness of other people in a corporate setting that has allowed me to succeed not only during the time I worked with Elaine, but has carried through for years into my professional career.

Her choice of tools and surveys are catered to the individual person and personality type. I did not feel as if I was being pigeon holed into a categorical method of professional/executive coaching. On the contrary, she listens to her clients, gets to know the whole person, and seeks to give advice that fits the individual’s lifestyle, life goals, and values. She works with the inner and outer aspect of her client. I have incorporated the lessons learned and utilize tools Ms. Weeman exposed me to almost everyday…With my coach's techniques it was possible to illustrate to my company's leaders what they were getting for their money…Being blessed with an opportunity to have a seasoned coaching expert, such as Ms. Weeman, focus on you and your career exclusively for a set period of time is a very unique gift and anyone who has this opportunity should embrace it for all it's worth.”
