Testimonials (6)

It is with great pleasure to write this testimonial for Dr. Veronica Powell. I have had the privilege to work and learn from her at the EQ 2019 conference. She was invited as a guest speaker discussing, "Putting EI to Work While Living in an Apathetic World”. Veronica is extremely knowledgeable in aspects of emotional intelligence, but most importantly she is kind, humble, and down to earth. She shares her professional and real-world experiences in a unique manner that is easy to understand and relate to. In full confidence, I highly recommend and encourage others to attend Dr. Veronica Powell's - Measures4Success Academy of Personal & Professional Development. Listen to her vast knowledge with an open heart and open mind, she will enable you to apply these skills to your personal and professional life.

Dr. Powell has served as the speaker in our Online Series - Let's connect through social distancing with a higher purpose, organized by Lyceum Global - Life Skills and Professional Development for Success. She provided two extremely helpful workshops to help others to improve their communication skills (the first workshop) and to cope with grief (the second workshop). Both workshops were highly rated by all of our participants. Thank you Dr. Veronica Powell for your dedication to serve and for your expertise.

I've known Dr. Powell all of her life and have witnessed her grow and mature into her profession. I attended her training on emotional intelligence and grief which was an enlightening experience. Dr. Powell's trainings are super engaging and personable. She uses the right mix of humor when presenting difficult topics. Dr. Powell draws in her audience through story-telling. What I appreciated was her ability to keep me engaged through a variety of activities that allowed full participation from her audience. Most of all I enjoyed her humble spirit and her ability to connect with her audience at a human level. Thank you Dr. Powell for being who you are and not forgetting your roots.
