		College Dean "The career sphere helps folks to identify a personal development path that must be intrinsically linked to any career preparation program … This is the best thing since sliced bread."
		HR Executive "We have 16 different locations that we hire from — nursing homes, assisted living, transportation — that really use the sphere a lot. It puts all of the hiring people on the same page. I liked the idea that we could customize it to our own company, many times you find these tools out there, generic global things. It has helped our interviewers to ask deeper questions. When we get 65 applications it helps us narrow it down to five. The sphere has been invaluable."
		CEO, Marriage Communications "It used to take me the equivalent of three sessions to develop a reliable understanding of a couple's relationship. The sphere chart gives me a picture in minutes." (This company has, in the past, trained more than 700,000 couples in its communications program).
		Executive Director, Workforce Development Council “The Spherical process of whole person evaluation and participation is an excellent tool. I recommend it as a dynamic contributor to the efforts to match skills, knowledge and opportunity.”
		Financial Counselor for Military Personnel I suspect Spherical Counseling is the "next big thing" in counseling in general and for Personal Financial Management in particular. I can see it easily working in harmony with solution focused coaching. It is truly transformative, unconventional … stunning in simplicity and clarity and yet very easy to learn … something that could make a significant difference in preparing deployers and their families. The potential ROI and cost avoidance is very high. It presents an opportunity for a quantitative and qualitative leap, along with powerful metrics, which you will truly need to see to believe. Please pardon the hyperbole: The Spherical technique is that good.
		Counselor about Military Couple Megan and Kyle (recently returned from Iraq) have had difficulty connecting intimately ... she's had to be independent for the last 18 months and he is very guarded due to his recent tour. As we went around the sphere they were “relieved to finally have a place to start reconnecting.” This couple did not express sexual frustrations to each other, but the marriage sphere showed they were similar in their discontentment — this brought both of them to tears — good tears! “It is a relief [to know] that he is where I am” she told us … They are very reflective of people who have been apart, not by their choice, but by life circumstances. (This couple's names have been changed)
		Career Counselor "The real value in this tool is that the client can, often for the first time, see all the relevant areas of his or her life and can see how those areas interconnect."
		Married Couple 'It helps me better understand the conflicts we have. I have discovered things we never talked about before — surprises that are good and surprises that are sad but areas we can improve now that there are no more secrets.'
		Personal Development Sphere User '(My sphere session) was so powerful. I kept seeing the nodes on my chart that showed the great disparity between my abilities and positive determined attitude and my imperceptible income and agony over singleness. I kept thinking about all that those huge gaps imply.'
		HR Director We have had a huge quantity of people that have gone through and taken the sphere. It really does streamline the (hiring) process. Good comments have come from the actual candidates. They feel we are spending quality time trying to identify good skills and personalities that fit the mold of the job, upfront."
		Vice President Academic Affairs, University The sphere offers new vision and perspective about a couple’s shared life together. This is more like setting aside old lenses and putting on new. It brings new insight, discovery, appreciation, and direction for a relationship that is both so very familiar and yet always new!

		Marriage Counselor I had a couple take it three weeks before seeing me, and several of their issues were resolved before we met.
		Managing Director, Non Profit The Sphere Charts system allows us to see if the person is self-aware. If they are self-aware, we can see it in the patterns in their responses. If they are not self-aware, their shape shows this too. We have seen this be true with high school students and seniors. It’s not about an IQ or some external rating or outside validation, the sphere chart is validated by the user themselves, validation is through the person when they say it is correct.
		Executive Coach When it comes to the accuracy of the survey, I have found that if someone is trying to be dishonest the inconsistencies become apparent. Most people who lie are very poor at it. My work with Spheres demonstrates consistent and reliable responses.
		Counselor about Military Wife After her husband took the marriage sphere it helped her to see his “vulnerable side" — her words and he affirmed. He said it really helped him put his thoughts in a "sensible, useable" format. He was elated by the Sphere and I have seen changes in his self perception as well as how he looks at the marriage "where I can be more involved and areas that I need to work on me so I can be more vested in the relationship."

		Government Advisor in Emergency Response “As I see it, a tool like Sphere could assist tens of thousands of disaster volunteers in better targeting their individual learning needs, enhance the nation's response to disasters, and decrease the overall cost (time and money) required.”
