Dear Gary:
On behalf
of Starbucks Coffee Company, I would like to thank you for bringing rhythm,
synergy and learning to our partners (employees). My experience with your
group was outstanding. We have tough standards when it comes to learning
and development at Starbucks and your team wowed hundreds!
Throughout
our collaborative relationship you demonstrated excellent preprogram assessment,
design of the targeted learning outcomes and integration of our mission
statement, internal "buzz" words and focus, customer care. Your
consulting calls, contract negotiations and performance left us wanting
more! I was impressed by your insight and professionalism and felt strongly
that our culture and your philosophies were a match made in "samba
heaven."
In addition
to excitement, our partners took the lessons from the debrief sessions
and shared them with partners back in the stores (continuous learning).
The experience created an enthusiasm and sense of new energy for our managers
that set them up for success in the busy holiday season.
Thank you
Gary and your great team for an experience many will not forget!
Sincerely,

Tammy Fleming
Director, Learning and Partner Development
Starbucks Coffee Company
