- Danielle Davis, President and CEO, Davis Consulting SolutionsOn behalf of the team at Davis Consulting Solutions (DCS), I would like to thank you Connections 4 Success for assisting with the Community2work (C2W)® program processes and strategic plan.

As president and CEO, I was particularly pleased to work with another woman owned enterprise (WBE) that aligns with our mission statement concerning small businesses and talent management. The completion of a solid plan for both the C2W program and its future strategic goals positions Davis Consulting Solutions to focus on execution.
- James Mauler, Chief Executive Officer, CadneticsI brought Vanessa in because I needed an outside person to come in with an unbiased opinion to analyze and evaluate what we could do better. Her outside business expertise gave us a fresh look at how we could do things because we’re looking for National growth over the next 10 years so we’re trying to get all of our processes and procedures down right now. Vanessa is very organized I think she brings in the expertise to analyze that most owners and managers don’t think of in a company, which was huge.

- Bill Wolfe, Executive Director, Ward HomeIn December 2017, Ward Home retained Vanessa S. Dodds M.Ed and Connections 4 Success L.L.C to conduct a risk assessment of our Supervised Independent Living Program for foster youth. After an initial meeting to explain our goals and desired outcomes to Vanessa she submitted a very thorough proposal that showed she researched Ward Home and independent living programs for foster youth in great detail.
During the risk assessment Vanessa kept both the Executive Director and Program Director updated on a regular basis. When unsure on a subject she asked for clarification rather than guessing. The assessment was done professionally and in a manner that made it easy and comfortable for all the staff and teens to respond in an open and honest way.
The final report was completed in a quality manner and easy to understand. It included both the identified risk and recommendations on how to reduce the risk.
I would recommend Vanessa and Connections for 4 Success L.L.C. for risk assessments and other related projects.
- William Pecora, President, Excel Glass & GraniteI’m writing this recommendation to convey our gratitude to Vanessa for her professional services to our company. Vanessa’s report on the qualitative and quantitative analyses of our employees functioning was very helpful. Her suggestions and solutions to make our organization better were most helpful. I’m glad we met and look forward to utilizing Connections 4 Success’ services again. I would recommend Vanessa and Connections 4 Success to any business that needs objective and subjective data to learn about the culture and operations of their organization.
- Melanie Colusci, President, Bridger Financial GroupI recently worked with Vanessa to create an onboarding and training curriculum for new staff. This was an area of frustration for me in the past given the amount of time it would take away from my day-to-day activities. Vanessa was able to create a curriculum that conveys clearly the message I want each staff member to communicate. Vanessa addressed every aspect that I believe was needed to help the staff provide an exceptional client experience. I am so pleased and happy with the end product!
