What people are saying about Productive Learning

“Carrie Burton is a skilled facilitator with great people skills. Under her leadership, our association board accomplished more in 8 hours than we normally do in eight meetings! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any company or group that wants their meeting to be more productive and still have fun.”

Phil J. Tedeschi, CCTE

President, PJT Business Travel Consulting (Chardon, Ohio)

“For the last three years, Carrie has served as a leadership coach and facilitator for the board of directors of the Ohio Valley Business Travel Association. Throughout her work with this group, Carrie has shown the unique ability to communicate in a way that our diverse group of members can personally identify. In addition, Carrie brings an energy and enthusiasm to her work that engages the audience. Since hiring Carrie, our organization is more productive, we communicate more effectively and the quality of our work has improved. I attribute these successes to the coaching and training Carrie provides and I would highly recommend her for any organization or business looking to develop its employees and improve productivity.”

Jeremy Gardner

President Ohio Valley Business Travel Association

“Dr. Carrie Burton is the spark you need to set your professional growth on fire! I’ve had the benefit of Dr. Burton’s enlightening outlook on leadership in more than six seminars over the past few years. As a facilitator for the Ohio Valley Business Travel Association Board Planning Meetings, and as a featured speaker, each has offered a deeper insight and development to the teamwork we accomplish as an organization. Dr. Burton is able to break down her expansive knowledge of communication styles, personality, teamwork, environment, and leadership into easy to use information that can be applied to professional growth. The audience raves of her enthusiasm for wanting to help people get connected and to become great leaders.”

Who's that Lady?

Carrie has dedicated her professional endeavors to working her mission of helping people Make Every Day at Work a GREAT DAY!

Carrie’s unique mix of energy and expertise has inspired many leaders, workgroups, and associations to focus on making meaningful changes. She excels at interacting and building relationships with working professionals, spreading the power and practicality of vision, and helping others discover the role of “believing” and “focus” in everyday satisfaction and success.

During her doctoral preparation in Leadership Development, Carrie focused her studies on adult experiential learning theory which culminated in a thesis on the adaptive learning style of classroom teachers. With a thorough grasp of adult learning, her additional study in emotional and social intelligence led to certification to administer the Emotional and Social Competency Inventory, an instrument designed to measure the strengths of leaders and provide a reliable foundation for coaching and professional development of competencies proven for success.

In addition to facilitating group sessions in leadership development and strategic planning, Carrie also enjoys mentoring leaders using cognitive coaching and mindfulness. She teaches these skills in her Mindful Mentoring courses.
