What some of SunStone's clients have to say about the leadership and business consulting services:

"Thank you for providing SunStone training conducted by Edward Gordon. His training workshops have successfully done what many other workshops have failed to do - create positive results... I believe the training provided by SunStone has helped me become a better manager, a more effective employee, and a more conscientious peer.”

"Our association with SunStone has improved morale and promoted changes that increase productivity … I would recommend SunStone to any organization seeking to develop the tools to face an uncertain and ever changing environment.”

“SunStone leadership training has been an important component of our workforce development effort at Johnson Controls in Pulaski. SunStone’s training has served our employees well.”

Don Tillman
Human Resources Manager

“Out of all the classes that I have taken through our Managers/Supervisory training classes, including other City sponsored courses, the classes taught by Sunstone have been the most educational of them all. SunStone training has given me a brighter insight on what truly makes a leader a leader.”

Kim McClurkin
City of Chattanooga

“Unlike so many training programs I’ve seen where the focus is upon the latest “flash-in-the-pan” fads, our Campaign for Leadership Excellence created by SunStone is dedicated to emphasizing tried and true management principles. We are already seeing benefits emerge from the training that has taken place. However, I believe the greatest benefits of adopting the “stick-to-proven-principles” approach to this training are still to come.

In fact, I think there is a strong probability that a few years from now, we’ll be able to look back upon the Campaign for Leadership Excellence and find that it clearly ahs made a significant long-term, positive impact upon Hamilton County’s ability to more effectively and efficiently serve its constituents.”

Ken Blankenship
Director of Purchasing
Hamilton County Government.

“People from different business backgrounds, different parts of the world, different parts of the country, different sexes, and different age groups …

Put them in a room with Edward Gordon, a phenomenal leadership developer, and what do you get in three hours?

A cohesive, impactful and effective Executive Leadership Team. How do I know? I am part of this team.”

Anita M. Brandenburg, SPHR
Director of Human Resources and

 “The SunStone system of training offers a wide variety of tools and techniques. But, for me, its value has been in awakening me to the task of evaluating what I do, what I want to happen, and what really happens as a result! From the first class, I have found myself challenged to reconsider how I view my job and the impact I can have on the end product.”

Tommy Dee Wright
Corrections Department
Hamilton County Government

“His (Mark’s) level of maturity in business leadership was evident. But he was enthusiastic and eager to listen.”
