Client Testimonials

Dr. Holmes presented a program to our members which was relevant, informative and very impactful.  He simplified and demystified the writing process, helping us realize how we can move forward on some very basic things to create even bigger things.  I would highly recommend Dr. Holmes, without reservation, to anyone who wants to learn how they can easily move forward in their writing and publishing as a path to business, personal and professional growth!

Kelly Nieto, Vice President for Programs, International Coach Federation - Tucson

Tyrone’s generosity of his tools, tips and knowledge blew away our group of professional coaches.  His Publishing Pyramid program inspired us to do all sorts of things with our expertise and writing – earn income in new ways, create new publications, and expand where we are published.  He led an engaging and productive session while meeting our member's diverse needs and experience levels.

Marnee Weber, Vice President of Programs, International Coach Federation - Phoenix

Sitting down with Tyrone for his Publishing Pyramid session was enlightening.  I have a lot going on with writing, however, no strategy.  He gave me an excellent idea that was implemented today!  I would never have thought about it.  If you are seriously looking to become published, Tyrone has an excellent process that will meet you where you are and assist you in moving forward strategically.

Connie Kadansky, Owner - Exceptional Sales Performance, Phoenix, AZ

I recently had the very good fortune to be coached by Tyrone on how to use a blog as part of my business development strategy.  Tyrone was incredibly well-informed, and added to my thinking and understanding in at least a dozen ways.  He has a warm and encouraging style, and I was left with much more clarity and confidence about taking the necessary steps.  I recommend Tyrone without qualification for anyone pursuing a similar course of action.

Dr. Holmes, I want to thank you for coming to Bizdom this morning.  Your presentation was interactive, fun and it couldn't have been more relevant.  The entrepreneurs are finishing their business plans and preparing to launch at this point, and it is critical that they pay more attention to improving their overall health and wellness.  We appreciated the tips and specific steps to take, because it gives us clear actions to take.  You are an engaging speaker and I hope to work with you again.  Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Amy Gill, Curriculum Specialist, Bizdom U, Detroit, MI

Dr. Holmes' easygoing manner made our group feel comfortable, but he also delivered quite a punch with the range and depth of information he provided us throughout the entire session.  All of the speakers in the audience came away with a wealth of information about how to blog to increase their speaking business, and with renewed excitement about blogging as a marketing tool.  Thank you Dr. Holmes!

Gilat Ben-Dor, MBA, CSW, Chair- Living Room Forum Speaker Series, NSA - Arizona

Thank you for an excellent presentation at our NSA Living Room Forum.  You made it sound so easy.  You took the pain out of writing a book by using your pyramid concept as a building block to achieving another goal…that is, writing a book. I’ll start blogging more to maximize my marketing efforts based on the content from my book. Thanks.  Happy cycling!

A very unique ability is to captivate an audience and make them process your spoken words long after you have left the room.  This, I am sure, occurs on many occasions when Dr. Tyrone A. Holmes speaks.  It certainly happened when he spoke at the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development's Samuel H. Johnson Luncheon.  He understood our mission and delivered a powerful and memorable keynote address that provided our guests with the "professional opportunity of a lifetime".
