I first met Tina in the fall of 2012 after I was identified as an emerging leading within my organization. As my coach, Tina began working with me to sharpen my leadership and management skills and abilities. With her continued guidance and support, I quickly rose through the ranks of the organization achieving many personal and professional goals. Tina has also assisted me on several assigned projects to include developing a strategic plan for the organization and a career path for employees. The success of these projects would not have been possible without Tina and her creative energy and expertise. Without a doubt, Tina has been a tremendous help and influence in my personal development and professional career.
Lieutenant Town of Spindale Tina is a results oriented HR professional with a passion for operational excellence. She understands and empathizes with leaders who are working through the day to day challenges of running a business. Her sincere approach provides comfort for others to engage and embrace change when such is most needed. Working with her is a true pleasure; and I highly recommend Tina as a leader and people asset to any HR Learning and Development Team." President M2G Restaurant Group I have worked with Tina Towers for 5 years and would highly recommend her for any opportunity. What I find unique to Ms. Towers is her in-depth human resources knowledge, including international human resources. Ms. Towers also is extremely professional, efficient, and decisive. She uses her extensive background and knowledge to present clear and concise deliverables. I personally worked with her on a major HR system implementation where she was a critical resource as a subject matter expert and HR decision maker. I hired her back once she opened her own business for various projects where she consistenly delivered on time and on budget. Finally, I believe Ms. Towers would be an asset to any project. Senior Directory, HR Systems for Aramark Seven years ago I started a private practice in psychology. My practice grew very quickly and as I added employees and grew beyond what would be called a “small shop” I became concerned that there were things I should be doing (and not doing) in terms of hiring employees, maintaining personnel files, and creating policies and procedures that I knew nothing about. What I did know was that there is a serious potential down side to not knowing these things. In meeting with Tina I realized immediately that I was right—there was a lot I knew nothing about. Working with Tina was one of the most important things I have done in terms of building and protecting my business. She worked very closely with me, taking me step-by-step through all of the HR aspects of the business that I needed to have in place (and didn’t). Tina was always immediately responsive to any questions I had and helped me to understand what I needed to have “formalized” in writing. The end result is a uniform, efficient process for hiring and managing employees; a policy manual that addresses all of the legally required HR aspects of having a business and peace of mind. Over the years since I first worked with Tina there have been issues that have arisen in the practice that I needed guidance in handling. When this happens I consult with Tina and she helps me develop a very clear plan for how to proceed. Her knowledge, expertise and guidance have been invaluable to me, and will continue to be. Licensed Psychologist Delaware Valley Psychological Services, LLC Tina was instrumental in helping my new team develop a vision and strategic plan that proved to be very successful in achieving our goals.

As a new team leader, I benefitted greatly from her personal coaching and constructive feedback, which she provided to me on a regular basis.

Assistant Program Director US Army Tina was the client project sponsor on a major HRIS (ADP HRizon) implementation/integration and was the final decision-maker on customization decisions impacting the budget and timeline of the project. Tina was the ideal person to fill that role because she was able to understand both the higher-level and the operational-level impacts of her decisions. As a consultant on the project, I found that Tina always understood the options that we presented to her and frequently had very specific questions and suggestions to help us come up with an even better solution for the field users and her team. I would welcome any opportunity to work with Tina again! She is extremely knowledgeable and is outstanding in her ability to explain both functional requirements and technical solutions.

VP HR Systems, ARAMARK When I was first told that I would be assigned a coach I was totally against it.

She understood the nuances within the government business process and how decisions affects all levels (both management and execution). She clearly articulated strategies to facilitate team productivity while freeing up personal time for myself. I changed the way I dealt with my team, involving them more and showing them how their work fit into the larger picture goals.
