The concept of Efficacy is elegantly and deceptively simple; it enables individuals to be fully authentic, while connecting with the culture of their organizations more productively."
—Maxine Brown-Davis, Retired Chief Diversity Officer, Procter & Gamble

"As a black female in corporate America, I attribute my professional advancement to the concepts learned during an Efficacy course I took early in my career. Anyone who follows the guidance shared in The Power of Choice will see a change in how they think about their long-term career strategy. Efficacy helped me develop a mindset of personal responsibility for my growth and development."
—Desiree Dancy, Chief Diversity Officer and Vice President, Corporate Human Resources, The New York Times Company

"The Power of Choice book conveys that you can always affect your situation and it provides a framework for how to think and approach your specific situation. It also offers tools for you to create your own approach to situations by asking the right questions: What outcomes do I want? How will my actions affect that outcome in the long and short term? These questions help to take you from the emotional to the rational, so you may work with facts and be realistic, focus on your desired outcome and act accordingly. The book is simple, easy to read, practical and really get to the issues and how to approach a solution. An excellent read! I will read it again."
—Andrew McKnight, Audit Senior, Freddie Mac

The Value of Efficacy from Global Novations Program Participants:

"What was most valuable for me is that I feel like I am better equipped to move in a more purposeful direction of my career and I'm excited about it!"

"The Efficacy course helped me take a good and much needed look at my career pace, perception, and goals."

"I found the Efficacy mindset was key to my success and that a fixed capacity mindset is a detriment to my success. I learned that feedback - both giving and receiving - is so important. I enjoy applying influence strategies to my everyday communication."

"I've spent my entire life being effective. I remember one of my managers said I had a 'bias for action'. I was the person people went to when they wanted to get something done. Still, I wasn't moving forward in my career at the pace or in the direction I desired. Then I participated in the Efficacy Training led by Audra Bohannon and it was as if I was given a key to some secret world. After a few sessions, I realized I was helping other people accomplish their goals, but I wasn't accomplishing my own. After I started putting the Efficacy principles into practice, my mindset completely changed and I started to work differently. I am much more intentional about building relationships and about how and where I spend my time. I now live life by design and not by default."
—Qiana Williams, Executive Director, Human Service Chamber of Franklin County

"Over the course of the program, through changing the way that I thought by assuming and leveraging risk, and fully understanding my strengths in order to boost confidence, I opened my own private practice. This coming September 5th, my company will have been open for one year, and the transition has been amazing. My level of influence within the community has shifted, my path to continued growth is charted, and I have more than doubled my income. When I say that the Efficacy experience changed the way I do business, I mean that emphatically. I highly recommend taking the time to learn more about Efficacy, as you look to change the way that you do business."
—Eric Currence, Ph.D., Psychologist, Currence Consulting, LLC

"I realized that I was influenced by others' visions of what my professional path looked like and that although I was willing to take risks, they weren't necessarily my risks I was willing to take. This left me searching for my voice and placement in my professional life. While I viewed myself as a leader personally, professionally I was only measuring up to what others thought I could accomplish. After completing the Efficacy training I found myself becoming bolder in my work and standing upright as a true leader, feeling much more comfortable to uplift my accomplishments internally and externally. Since then, I have transitioned into a leadership role at a leading non-profit and I am on the professional trajectory that have established for myself."
—Tasha R. Booker, Director of Development and Public Relations, I Know I Can
