I highly endorse her company and services as an emotional health and wellness expert. In my role as President, Pitney Bowes Management Services, U.S. Operations, I had the privilege to employ her company to provide training for a recently initiated program. She presented a training session entitled “Emotionally Healthy Leaders” that was so well received Pitney Bowes will be including her program in our company wide training. As a leader in a Fortune 500 company, I recognize the value of having healthy employees, both physically and emotionally, to drive productivity. I am pleased to recommend Dr. Gladney for your company/organization to help you reach your goals.
Thank you for presenting your wonderful keynote address Move, Shake, Or Step Aside. I must say, our conference was made a huge success by your opening remarks that got everyone in the mood for a full day of learning. I appreciate all your efforts to provide a timely, well-rehearsed and information-packed session. The audience gave you extremely high marks on your evaluations. Many of them shared their feelings on the evaluation form, and here are just a few of the remarks that convincingly illustrate the full effects of your outstanding keynote session: “Very upbeat.” - “ Inviting, positive and real.”- “Beautiful and entertaining.” “Very motivational.” “Dr. Gladney gave the tools needed in setting obtainable goals.”
Dr. Gladney served as the mistress of ceremonies for the conference, which drew more than 400 women across the Airport. The conference was a huge success due in large part to Dr. Gladney’s performance and her ability to connect with the audience. Dr. Gladney was humorous, warm and engaging, kept the program running smoothly, and was able to weave her experience as an author, consultant and mother of four children into her presentation. She was professional, yet approachable. Many women expressed deep appreciation for the Women’s Conference geared entirely toward them. Dr. Gladney created an environment that allowed the women of DFW Airport to feel special, important and appreciated.
Dr. Gladney is one speaker you can’t afford to miss. It will change your life forever! After attending her seminar in Orlando, I was left wanting more. I also left a changed person. I was able to remove a weight that I had been carrying for sometime off my shoulders. I had a toxic person in my life that just can’t be remove but when I applied the techniques I learned in that hour and ½ session I was able to confront this person and without unleashing the toxin. A conversation that would have normally been very emotional, loud, and heated was able to be held in a calm setting with an office door open and not one other person knowing we were addressing very personal and uncomfortable issues.
The DFW Chapter of Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International was fortunate to have Dr. Lawana Gladney speak at our February educational program. Dr. Gladney had our attendees laughing and smiling throughout the entire presentation. We have our attendees complete evaluations after each luncheon. One hundred percent of those that responded felt like the presentation accomplished its objective of “Motivating Yourself to A-C-T-I-O-N!” We also ask our membership to rank the speaker and presentation on a scale of 1-10. Dr. Gladney received a 9.53! We look forward to having Dr. Gladney speak at one of our future programs!

Thank you Dr. Gladney for giving my children, my husband, and my co-workers back the real me! With the antidote to the poison administered I fell like me again!
I wanted to let you know how awesome you are and what a change you have made in my life! I am so much happier in my current job, my marriage is on the right track, money is starting to flow into our lives, we are working on baby # 2, and I am feeling SO optimistic about my future! I have also regained my confidence. I have had to stand up to the owner of this company many times when he has changed something that he has told me, and I have not been afraid. I am also not concerned about losing another job. I have made great connections and if something does happen here, the next best thing will come along. Thank you again! You are amazing!!!!
Awe---some!!! What other word can I use to describe Dr. Gladney? Her coaching sessions helped me focus on what my real issues were, prioritizing and scheduling my time, focusing on what my real purpose in life really is. Since working with Dr. Gladney, I have been able to stay on track with several of my professional and personal goals, starting and keeping an exercise regimen, losing 30 pounds in 4 months!!! I would not hesitate to call on Dr. Gladney for her services again.
I am a different person since Dr. G. has come into my life and coached me in several different areas to include family life, my career, financially, personal & spiritual growth, and relationships. Learning to look clearly into my deep heart’s desire of what I want to do and become, was accomplished in our sessions. I had to remove the excuses and do what I am supposed to do to achieve what I want. I had some idea of my desires, hopes, and dreams, but Dr. G. helped me to look deeper so that I could bring my life’s “blur” into focus. With Dr. G.’s help, I am living my life in my purpose to a much greater degree than ever before.
Your sessions have changed my life. The energy that I put out definitely has changed and people seem to be more drawn to me. I feel better, more accomplished, proud of myself, and I’m paying more attention to what I hear and see. My new friend is fine. We talk pretty much daily. So far, things feel good with him, but I have my antennas up. Thank you again for
My life will never be the same after taking these powerful coaching sessions from Dr. Gladney. When I initially started, I had no idea how much my life would be changed for the better. Dr. Gladney taught me how to challenge myself each day and how to accomplish the goals I set for my life. I highly recommend these coaching sessions. Dr. Gladney is a phenomenal emotional wellness coach and her teaching style will truly help you achieve any goal(s) you set for yourself.
Words truly cannot explain Dr. G's gift of words and counseling. As long as you are truly honest with yourself and are open to start living an amazing life, you will be empowered. Through prayer and my coaching sessions with Dr. G I was able to free myself mentally from my past and now leaping into my future.
Dr. G is truly a blessing sent by God to help those who needs emotional wellness. She has helped me see things in a better light. Dr. G has helped me to work through my issues to enable me to be a better person to have an effect on the lives of others. Thank you Dr.G. God Bless.
I have learned what it means to love myself for the first time. I have learned to be thankful for those folks that caused me so much pain as a young child. I also learned how all things are connected in this life journey. I experienced racial tension in my family and then graduated from college only to continue that same tension in a different manner as a lone black female engineer in a male dominated field. As I walked through these sessions, I find myself now able to smile more and I actually feel the tension moving away. I have learned to talked to myself to encourage myself in this daily walk.
Dr G is the best! I, now, have so much insight into my truest self, which is leading me to my best self. I have learned so much about human behavior, and how our (routine) everyday actions can affect all facets of our lives. Our sessions have contributed to life-changing spiritual, personal and entrepreneurial growth, and I am ready for the rest of my life – the best of my life!!
I am glad that I took the opportunity to work with Dr. Gladney. I was at a place in my life that brought on confusion, unhappiness and sometimes depression. I didn’t really understand how I got there or how to get out. I wanted a happy home life and thriving business, but didn’t know what I had to do to get what I desired. Dr. Gladney was able to provide understanding to the situations in my life to move me forward. She didn’t cut corners or sugar coat anything, which I may have not liked, but appreciated. Dr. Gladney provided tools to assist me in my daily life and business. She held me accountable for using the tools effectively. I communicate more with my family, partners and clients.
My sessions with Dr. G. helped me to identify my purpose and passion and push through the patterns of procrastination and fear which limited my personal growth. Because of these sessions, I am better able to manage my time and I have finally begun working on a novel that I put off for years! Dr. G is sincere about helping others be successful in their business and their personal lives.
Dr. G., Wow, what can I say? Thank you! You helped me out during a difficult time in my life and I appreciate you offering your professional services. You do not know what that meant to me! The assignments helped me to take a more introspective look at the positive things as well as work through those things that needed some adjusting. Thanks helping me get my life back.
Dr Gladney has been extremely effective in my life. I learned that there are things that I have been keeping private in my life. I have negatively been keeping people outside of my life. Dr G pointed it out and then began to teach me to write about myself. I have truly seen more of myself through my walk with her. Thanks again and Be Blessed.
I met Dr. G. on the Fantastic Voyage and signed up for the free consultation. After that session I knew I had to get more info from her. I signed up for four sessions and after completing my fourth session I realized that I needed at least one more. She made it easy for me to talk to her and I felt like we were friends. She helped me get through a situation I was in and now I am aware of what type of energy I put out. I’ve gained that I’m in control of my situation by the energy that I put out.
Working with Dr. Gladney was one of the best investments decisions I've made in myself! She actively assisted me in sorting through my pain and overcoming my past. I have attempted counseling several times, at various stages in my life and I have never met a more effective counselor, life coach, leader and friend who has been able to see me without judgment, as God saw me and guide me to the place past my pain. It's amazing as I look back now, full of love, hope, peace and freedom and see the difference and transformation that has been made. God certainly does use her to speak life into dry and dead places and help to iron and sometimes scrub out those seasons in life that we try to hide and run from.
Dr. Gladney, is truly on the outside of the picture frame and her intuitive expertise, see all the shadows that lurk around you, many of which you want no one to see. She assisted me with facing and saying hello, to many issues I would have just continued to lug around, like dead weight not allowing me to soar to the heights I so deserve. “ I believe I can Fly”
The building of my confidence has a tremendous effect on every area of my life, I no longer feel powerless! Since our sessions, it is having an amazing impact on me which in turn is improving my home environment (teaching/instructing) the children and my husband. Since articulating my passion of “training leaders” has been identified, I see how natural it comes to me. I am eager to continue pursuing training/instruction to provide me with necessary credentials through which I can thrive financially through doing what I love. THANK YOU for the honor of learning from you, it has been PHENOMONAL! Who doesn’t have baggage?!
Allow me to take this opportunity to personally thank you for the your guidance and coaching on improving my public speaking capabilities skills. I have applied your memorable and easy to apply techniques to every presentation since our training session, and what a difference it has made in my delivery. In this world of global complexity and organizational roller derby, leaving a positive notable impression with those you encounter is a means of survival in the corporate world. You have shared an amazing invaluable survival package that I will use over and over again. Thank you for driving me to higher level of performance in everyday communication encounters.
Dr. G helped me kick up the confidence. I spent my life living in fear, and worrying about what people thought about me. I learned to love myself more. I never wanted to speak in public because I worried about messing up, or people not agreeing with what I had to say. I learned that I cannot change my past, but I can determine my future. All I can do is be the best me. Since my sessions I am speaking publicly, I rekindled the fire in my marriage, and I'm at peace.
I appreciate Dr. Gladney’s experience and manner of coaching. Understanding the client is one way to relate to them, but helping the client understand themselves is the way to move toward change and growth! Thank you for all you did for me, I am looking forward while I put the past in its proper perspective! Doniele Ayers Budget Manager for NI of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
I was seeking help to build my business but what I received was help to build myself. I needed to work on me first before I build a business that not only affected me but the lives of others. This was the first time that had an extended session of self-evaluation and it was what I needed to start over. I realized by not communicating my feelings about my relationship with me affected my relationships with others. Thank you Dr Gladney for helping me see me.
Thank you Dr. Gladney for some great coaching sessions! You helped my family and I through some rough emotional times with your compassion and wisdom. You have made an impact in numerous aspects of my life. Our sessions helped me develop a plan to achieve the success that I desire in life, both personally and professionally.
Dr. Gladney takes the pieces of your life and makes it whole. She has a way of guiding you to your purpose. The journey is amazing.
After these sessions I feel better about myself and I have learned how to handle stress. I am no longer a prisoner of my past. Before, I started my sessions, I was angry, and was always on the defensive. I was very combative and always felt the need to prove myself which in most times made things worse than what they were. My attitude was that every body was against me and I failed to see the part I was playing. I am now more understanding and I am able to check myself and my actions. I had to realize that I was playing apart in some of the issues that I was dealing with. I had to change my perspective and realize that I was the common denominator in some of the disagreements I was having. Also II have been drinking for 21 years before I began my sessions with Dr. G. It started out as being curious, then it became a crutch and ended up being a habit along with a way to escape hurt, disappointments, and my low self esteem. I used alcohol because I didn’t not want to feel. After loosing my foster moms and then my birth moms 2 years later, I was lost, hurt, and felt more stuck than I have ever felt in my life. I now don’t require alcohol to deal with my life challenges. I am able to be sober and deal with life's every day challenges with out having to run to the liquor store and drown my thoughts in a 5th of tequila. Dr. G made me realize that I am a direct reflection of how I spend my time and who I spend my time with. She made me realize that nothing is going to move in my life unless I move. Dr. G has given me all the tools I need to be the purposeful woman that I desire to become. There is nothing left for me to do but to take the teaching that she has given me and apply them to my everyday life, and I have her book as a resource to fall back on.

My sessions with Dr Gladney have helped me develop a plan to advance my career. I was wanting to find a way to help myself move up in the organization but felt frustrated that I didn’t have a pathway to do so. She helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses, position myself to highlight and promote my strengths, and develop a plan to showcase my highlights so I can be more marketable in my profession.
