I would like to take this opportunity to express my greatest admiration for Terry Mattingly.  Terry has partnered with our company for many years and has exhibited the utmost knowledge and professionalism in all areas of his expertise - and at moment's notice. Not only has Terry provided me with all the tools necessary to assist my company and me with coaching, counseling, and training, Terry has responded to all our needs in a way the exceeded our expectations.  Terry has the knowledge and experience to address any problem or concern that may arise.  He is very passionate about his work.  Terry's approach is sincere and genuine whether he is coaching or counseling, and I have never known him to stop short of finding a solution to any situation.  I have enjoyed working with Terry and would highly recommend him.  From experience...I know I can count on him.

Terry Mattingly is a seasoned professional who is able to strike the perfect balance between training and counseling.  His insight into behavior is right on target and has been invaluable to us in a wide range of situations.  Terry draws on his extensive personal and professional background to connect with people at all levels in an organization.  His style is approachable and non-threatening without sacrificing influence and direction in one on one coaching or group settings.  I have enjoyed working with him; his engaging personality brings energy and a focus on possibilities.

The Pleasure Ridge Park Fire Protection District is proud to recommend Training & Coaching Specialists as a top leader in the field of harassment, diversity & alcohol training.  We have contracted their services for six + years and have been very pleased with the programs.  Terry & Rodney have always demonstrated total professionalism as to the skills and knowledge regarding the subjects.  After each training session our members evaluate the classes as well as the material that was provided, with positive results. 

I highly recommend to any Fire Department or private company to reach out to Training & Coaching Specialists for their training needs.

In 1998 a man named Terry Mattingly came to my office to talk about his Employee Assistance Program (EAP).  After listening to his presentation I realized this man had a passion for what he was doing.  Fast forward eleven years; coping through 9-11, domestic violence, anger management, harassment training along with countless other situations where I relied on Terry and his staff.  I can stedfastly recommend him as a trainer, a coach and as a consultant because I know this passion is still with him, only magnified.

It is my pleasure to attest to abilities of Mr. Terry Mattingly to work successfully and effectively with employees.  I have known Mr. Mattingly for a number of years and primarily involved him and his company in working with the leadership in our department where he was particularly effective.  The process was a lengthy one and involved 360 evaluations of key individuals and then continuing coaching which added a dimension that enhanced the effectiveness of the intervention.  I cannot identify one employee who felt that they had not benefited from the process.  Mr. Mattingly, in the process demonstrated understanding, patience, wisdom, and experience which resulted in a successful outcome.  I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him for any human service employee assistance intervention

For the second year in a row Terry delivered an outstanding program to our members.  Once again, his session evaluations were exceptional, receiving the highest marks in every area. Comments included: “Very enjoyable”; “good information that will be taken back and immediately utilized in our facility”; “very good at connecting with the audience”; “excellent at holding our attention” and the comment that we intend to act on, “he was great, have him back!”
