Success Stories

Arvid
Hamburg, Germany

“As I am a head of the IT department in our company I am applying the principles of “Release your Breaks” with great success in terms of leadership. It gives me confidence when dealing with my staff, clients and vendors. I can better understand the viewpoint of my partners and I can manage and negotiate a better outcome for my partners and the company.

Overmore I am looking into a bright future because I start to understand what, why and how I sometimes limit myself. This new knowledge I can finally “release my breaks”.

Everyone at PACE: Thank you very for bringing this big contribution into my life!”

“The PACE Palette is an excellent tool to assist individuals in small and large groups, teams or committees understand the value of having different temperaments working together. It helps individuals look at their own strengths and while understanding the importance of different approaches to problem solving, organizing work, risk taking and interacting with people. I have used the Palette for the past 20 years with executive teams, departmental staffs, volunteer groups, not for profit organizations and corporations. I have also used it as a coaching tool and even helped partners improve their communications. Without fail, individuals gain such wonderful insights as to how they approach their world as well as what are the needs of others. Because the concepts of The Palette are easy to remember it has wide appeal to all ages and levels within an organization. Knowing the four temperaments through the four colors allows for everyone to have a common language, which can be used to strengthen daily communication, which helps to sustain its lasting impact. Participants in my Palette sessions always leave energized and filled with many “aha” moments. I love it!!!!”

Head of Training, Carr Communication LTD

“We have been using the Pace Palette workshop as an integral part of our Communications and Management Development Programs for the last four years. The workshop has opened people’s eyes in a very real way. They now understand why they behave the way they do. And, most importantly, why other people behave the way they do.

Once they get this they can now communicate far more effectively with others – persuading, influencing and getting buy-in.

The Pace Palette is also great fun and acts as one of the best icebreakers I know.”

Daryle Abrahams
Professional Practice Tutor, 7city Learning 

“As a professional service firm dealing with the worlds largest financial institutions on a daily basis, it is absolutely critical that the tools we use are not only effective, but pragmatic, quick to implement and great value for money. The PACE™Palette has been a best seller since we started using it two years ago. Our clients love the speed, the language and the cost of the tool. They’re always pleasantly surprised at how the tool explains behaviours that had previously mystified them and caused significant misunderstanding between colleagues. Our customers have seen change in many ways as the tool can apply to many scenarios, negotiations, presentations, team work, recruitment, succession planning, project management – basically any situation where two or more humans are engaged in a relationship. We’d highly recommend the accompanying materials so that facilitators get an insight into the background of the product and how it can be used effectively.”

Tim McCoy
White Rabbit Group

“I was first introduced to the PACE™ Palette in 2000 while training at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. I trained on the bank side and their director of training had this little booklet she passed out to everyone. I have been trained on many instruments and quite frankly thought something this little could not deliver the kind of substance I would look for. Boy, was I wrong. Wonderful things indeed come in small packages. I left Wells a year later but have not left PACE™. I have used the Palette in management training, sales training, and leadership training. It opens up a depth of dialogue that lasts for a long time and people really do refer to their palette to help them understand those they work with. Julie Daughterty has been an absolute joy to work with over the years and I am grateful for the assistance in helping me deliver the outcomes my clients expect.”
