Anita Foreman

Daniel Riordan, Fax Plus Systems

Audrey Porter, Internet Recruitment Specialist, Jobnet.com

“Michael's program is well laid out, well developed and he always knows where he is going with the material.”
Bruce Osgood Account Executive

“I highly recommend Michael Gidlewski for speaking engagements. I first met Michael in January of 2003 when he spoke at our IABC Lehigh Valley program. The topic of his seminar was "My-Tyme Effective Personal Management Workshop" and I was hoping to leave with one small bit of information to help me with my busy days. Throughout his seminar he taught me many things, including why I spend the little time I have away from work sitting in front of the television rather than doing things that interest or could be of benefit to me. His seminar has given me a new perspective on life and I left feeling rejuvenated and ready to start my plan for getting my life in order.”
Stacy Smulowitz, President - IABC, Lehigh Valley

“Personal Goal-setting and leadership is something we don't talk or do enough of, and I am personally grateful to Michael's personal coaching approach. He provides a much needed accountability to my corporate and sales productivity. Most valuable is the on-going dialogue, debriefing and feedback on the week's activities focused on my goals. A powerful process has been the debriefing of sales calls leading to better results in the future. I've been most satisfied with the drilling down focus on HPA's (high payoff activities) to creating a weekly time picture to achieve these results. Thanks for helping me take my business to the next level of success. Your work can be summarized in one word…..Excellent!”
Brian Kling, President - E-Tec Solutions LLC

"After working with Michael Gidlewski for only one year, I had the confidence and ability to obtain a quality, high paying sales position with a respected firm. By one year post hire date, I have increased my earnings by 50% and am currently ranked as one of the top 3 salespeople in my company in the United States.”
Diana Feldman, Assistive Technology, Inc.

"I am happier and my business is more profitable. Discovering and defining goals has always been a real challenge for me. Michael Gidlewski's program has taught me how to clearly define what's important to me, and how to chart a course and stay on it." I now run my business instead of it running me."
Avery Manko, The Manko Company

"Mike, Had a great workshop. I really benefited from learning new concepts and ideas to take our business to the next level. It helped me to approach my business from an abundance perspective. Also learning about asking the right questions and using emotions was beneficial as well. Thanks,”
Mark Trudel, President - GMI

"We are still enjoying the effects of the seminars you presented to our sales team. Our sales numbers have never been better. We are all trying very hard to be aware of our HPA's (high payoff activities) and helping to hold each other accountable. We are a more focused sales team as a result and our numbers reflect that."
Louise Franklin, Acts-Life

"Michael's ongoing Business Coaching helps me separate and focus on what is working and what is not, rather than shooting in the dark. His coaching is a good place to review and analyze situations and get non-judgmental feedback which helps me to move forward, very self-esteem building. Debriefing sales calls is a helpful way to look at things differently. The coaching makes a difference! We set weekly goals and spend time on why they fall short of completion. My approach to selling is drastically improved. I am now making a habit of tracking and measuring success.”
Marty Koebert, Account Manager - Expert Technology Associates

“For over ten years Mike and I have worked on goal setting, time management, and goals clarification. In the first year my return on investment was ten-fold. He has helped me figure not only what I want out of my professional life, but personal life as well - and how to get it. The result has been both a more productive business and a better home life. This balance has greatly enhanced all areas of my life."
Scott Lawhorne, President - The Marquis Group

"Michael is an excellent teacher. He is very motivating and can capture your interest and attention for the entire day. As a personal coach, Michael helps me to focus on my goals and stimulates me to think outside the box. He has made a positive difference in my business."
Karen Trudel, GMI

"Last June I took the time management seminar in which I was a bit skeptical because I was already good in time management. I just wanted to pickup some new things to do. By using the My-Tyme Success Planner for the last 5 months, I have become better organized and have been performing my daily work in less time. The Planner has completely changed the direction of my business."
Scott Jefferys, Jefferys & Associates

"This workshop gives a purpose to my life rather than just living life following the same course as usual…like a mouse in a wheel."
Donna Cawthorne, Mid-Atlantic Management Corp.

"I was reminded to stop and smell the roses. We get so tied up in ourselves and forget about what is really important in life. Very excellent seminar. Enjoyed the openness and honesty of his life experiences."
Carol Ackerman, Horst Group

"I wanted to thank you again for the terrific job you've done during the past year working with Brian and me to improve our sales skills. Probably, like most people who've 'sold' in the past, I was reluctant during our first several months of training to change many of the sales concepts I've developed over the years. However, as I began to really test many of your ideas and see results, I became a 'believer.'

"The workshop helped me. I learned how I can piggy-back my goals, values and priorities and get more done toward getting to my long term life goals."
Nancy Vinkler, WSI Internet Consulting & Education

"Michael: Thank you for this goal setting class. Many times we as leaders can get so caught up in our daily function and lives that we forget what our mission was. This session has encouraged me to be more focused by utilizing my vision and mission to accomplish my dreams."
Daniel Rodgers, Sandler Sales Institute

I have taken many workshops that stressed goal setting but this is definitely the most specific and the best I've seen. I learned how to actually define in detail what my goals are through the "Wheel of Life." The action sheets I think will finally make me follow through”

Carter Trudel, GMI Insurance Services

“As a recipient to the benefits of Achievement Unlimited, I enjoyed immediate results from the program. Mike’s infectious enthusiasm and sharp strategies helped me increase my sales by over 20% in my first six months after my enrollment. Mike has a unique way of making the process totally fun while cutting to the bare essentials of efficiency and priority planning. He has the incredible ability to immediately promote my strengths and work on my weaknesses. I am so aware of new planning techniques, that I am triggered by the program to continue my success. Being in the sales of linens and commodities to hotels worldwide, Mike has taken me from 2 million to 2.4 million in sales during a time when the market is down and competition is fierce. I fully endorse the Achievement Unlimited program.”
Jeff Connor, Sales Manager - StarLinen Inc.

“What I’ve learned from his program is that regardless of how busy and crazy your life can be, you can still get there from here and make it happen by sitting down with your goals, regrouping and prioritizing them. Michael takes his program a step beyond by his willingness to participate beyond the scope of the class. If you get stuck, he offers his services on the phone. He is enthusiastic and patient. I’ve doubled my productivity on the job by expanding my handling of 150 files to 350 files. By understanding the Wheel of Life, I’ve been able to see the imbalance in my life. Sometimes it is necessary to work at home so I’ve gone to a wireless network so I can still be participatory with the family, though I do know when to put the computer away completely. Michael’s program is well laid out, well developed and he always knows where he is going with the material.”
Bruce Osgood Account Executive

Working with Mike in private coaching sessions, I realized that the motivation was there but the focus wasn’t. Now I have directions to my dreams. My new business has been launched, my productivity & confidence have increased, and as a result, I am a much happier person.”
