TESTIMONIALS

I originally signed up for this class in order to help my son start and grow his home improvement business. By the end of the course, I could see how the material covered could be beneficial to me personally and professionally. So, now I’m considering starting my own business. Thank you Shanté!

I was very impressed with the  Business Management 6 Series course. I learned new tools and ways to improve my business and further grow it. Before I took this course, I had minimal knowledge on the legal side of business. Now that I have completed the course, I feel more educated in that area. I will definitely recommend this course to my peers and other entrepreneurs. I thought the instructor did a great job teaching the students and applying them to our everyday life and business life. She did a very good job making sure the information was understood and that we weren’t confused on anything. This was a course packed with great information.

I recommend Intuitive Risk Management for detailed responses. At my class session with Shante' R. Roddy. It reaffirmed my area of strength as a Business and Personal Development Mentor and prioritized my other very important things-to-do list.

Shante is a consummate professional who has easily transitioned her expertise and corporate education to the world of small business entrepreneurship. As an emerging business owner, it was imperative for me to align my operational systems. I hired Shante as a business strategist to review my pitfalls and suggest ways to maximize my profits, while also effectively serving my target client market. I'm using her plan to grow my business. Shante is amazing at what she does. I look forward to working with her company more in the future.
