Testimonials

“I had the good fortune to work with Seniye on multiple projects for Hanna Andersson stores. She created outstanding training tools for all levels of field management that helped to drive improved results. In addition, she conducted group training on skill enhancement that was incredibly well received and created sustained growth. She was a terrific thought partner and would be an asset to any organization.”  Jessica Polonsky, Vice President of Stores, Hanna Andersson

“I was so impressed with Seniye’s organization, drive and communication skills and I hired her to work with my entire organization. Seniye is training our company on how to be an excellent service organization (for internal and external clients). Her direction is helpful for all levels of folks in our company. Her presentation style is engaging and fun. She takes difficult concepts and makes them easy to understand and apply in your daily life. I highly recommend Seniye if you want to get the best out of your people.”  Janae Sorenson, President,  Regence Life and Health

“You know how you look for people to collaborate with, and you find a great one, and then you look forward to working with them again? That’s how I feel about working with Seniye. I recently contracted with her to help develop and refine a vast array of learning material on which I had content expertise. Her work product, insight, integrity and work ethic all exceed my impossibly high standards. She clearly understands and has deep experience in the T&D space, which brought great value to me. And, I look forward to working with her again!”  Lea McLeod, M.A., Degrees of Transition, LLC

“Seniye designed and taught computer training for library patrons and later designed a training for library volunteers enabling them to teach computer classes to the public. From working with library staff on project requirements to design of the learning program and in-person teaching, Seniye’s work is always of high quality and every project is delivered on-time. Our classes and materials are always highly rated and that is due in large part to Seniye’s work.”  Terrilyn Chun, Systemwide programming coordinator at Multnomah County Library

“OCDC hired Seniye to help inventory an incredible amount of pre-existing training, evaluate it, and made recommendations on how to move as an agency from “telling” to “training.” She also helped lay the blueprint for a much-needed management training program. Now that I’m fully staffed, moving forward from plan to reality has been made that much easier.  I’ve appreciated Seniye’s professionalism, insightfulness and solutions-oriented approach. Her knowledge of the T & D field has helped me in my role tremendously.”  Joy Jerome Turtola, Director of Program and Staff Development, Oregon Child Development Coalition

“Seniye Groff has been actively involved with Dress for Success Oregon since 1999. Her volunteer time and expertise have contributed greatly to our organization over the past many years.   When we serve clients at Dress for Success Oregon we want to be able to respect and validate who they are. To enhance how we do that and to continually grow as an organization, we invited Seniye to do a diversity training for us. Seniye provided us with an engaging and informative training that encompassed diversity in terms of nationality, ethnicity, age, religion, gender, among others. The training challenged us to not make assumptions, to ask questions in a careful and gentle manner, and to do our homework and spend time learning from others.   Seniye’s training provided us with tangible ways of how we can better appreciate each other’s differences. We were given a new awareness and sensitivity, which will help further the work that we do at Dress for Success Oregon.”  Bethany Rocci, Volunteer Manager

“I have many instructors to choose from, although there are only a few that I always contact first. Seniye Groff is always my first choice.”   Suzie Taylor, Coordinator for Corporate Education, Clark College

“I worship your competence.”  Robert Augenbaugh, Metlako, Inc.

“At Vestas I hired Seniye to work on a large scale management and leadership development program. Her assignment was to pull training content from subject matter / business process experts in multiple departments. She quickly established positive rapport with experts in Sales, Supply Chain, Finance, Construction Project Management, Field Service, Safety and Legal. For several months she worked with attorneys, contract administrators, controllers, managers, etc., and leveraged MS Outlook Calendar, e-mail, the company intranet, phone conferencing and meeting rooms to track them all down, overcome barriers and competing priorities, in order to extract the needed training materials. She created high quality Agendas, Outlines, Instructor Guides, PowerPoint Presentations, On-the-Job Training Guides, Games, a Required Reading packet, and then she held dry-run training sessions to ensure the material was training-ready. I whole-heartedly recommend Seniye for any Human Resource or Organizational Development project.”  Gerard Fleck, Vestas Americas

I had the opportunity to have Seniye complete the Employee Handbook and Performance Management Reviews for New York Cupcakes. My desired outcome was to have a handbook and review form that genuinely reflected the young, hip, fun, and sweet atmosphere I was looking to create in the store. Seniye truly listened to my thoughts and ideas, provided patience throughout the project, and offered great feedback in return. I felt as though I had a genuine partner through the project and the results of the project were exactly what I had hoped it would be; she was able to capture the entire essence of the company’s values and the work reflected as such. She was professional, thoughtful, attentive, and true to her word on timing, delivery and price. I highly recommend Seniye.”  Lisa Waxman, New York Cupcakes

“Looking for a job (after being a stay at home mom for four years) was a scary process. I spent an entire year being proactive in my job search (Informational interviews, research on fields that interested me, classes I needed, timelines, goals, more research, more procrastination “fear”,..) At a certain point it just became too overwhelming. I found Seniye and I am so glad I did. She helped me focus and she helped my confidence. Her suggestions were so helpful, but more important, much needed. She also helped me streamline my resume and suggested some very helpful resources. I trusted she knew a corporate world that I did not and I felt her excitement for me to succeed.  For me, it was the best investment to hire Seniye. I now have a great job and my confidence continues to soar. Seniye was the icing on the cake in my search for a career.”  Emily Tresser

“I hadn’t dusted off my old resume for 14 years when I came to Seniye. I made her promise not to laugh or cry when I emailed it to her. We then met in person and she gave me fantastic tools for an amazing, professional “resume makeover”. Seniye further streamlined the resume for me when I found this particular job (all within a tight time-line), including invaluable advice for my cover letter. Just like Seniye said, the well-written resume and cover letter got me the “ticket” to interview.  She coached me every step of the way and gave me great confidence. She was so intuitive, efficient and helpful. I feel like the services I received were invaluable.  She is a great career counselor and mentor. I am very excited to start my new job. Thank you so much, Seniye!”  Tammy Going

“Seniye is an extremely talented and technically skilled training and human resource professional. She is efficient, knowledgeable and has high expectations of herself and those she works with. As a result, she produces incredible results. Seniye is the most impressive time manager I have ever worked with. She gets more done in a day than most do in a week. As a manager, she is supportive, honest, ethical, direct, involved and leads by example; a true leader of people. I recommend Seniye to anyone who is looking for the best talent around and one who produces superior results.”   Barb James
