    "Dr. Violet Williams came into our lives at a recommendation of another former GM trusted adviser and I couldn’t hire her fast enough! Dr.

      Violet is full of high energy and has such a dynamic effect on the team that leads them to get things done. Her interaction with senior          

      leadership, plant staff and all employees was effective in changing our culture for the better and her interaction with the aforementioned  has    

      been nothing but impeccable. Through her strategic leadership, management and project planning skills along with knowledge of quality      

      systems, led to our company gaining a new quality level in our facility in a short 14 week period.  We are glad to have her with us and we are

      now happy to have her carry forward her leadership internationally.  I cannot highly recommend her enough to any other clients."

    "Dr. Violet Williams worked as a Consultant/Faculty Fellow at the Oakland University School of Engineering to assist in the creation of a               

       MICUP/HTech Program to target and support STEM transfer students coming to Oakland University from Detroit-area Community Colleges.

       This was the inaugural year for the program and she came highly recommended from one of our former College Deans based upon her

       technical background and work experience, academic degree, years of volunteer college recruiting at General Motors and wealth of           

       knowledge acquired from doing Professional Mentoring and Leadership training and Leadership Coaching on a volunteer basis for non-profit

       community programs. She brought a refreshing corporate posture and approach to the School of Engineering, introducing the concept of

       Business Plan Deployment (BPD) a form of Strategic Planning previously not used here. She immediately went to work on her first day learning

       her way around our organization, making the right contacts to become acclimated into our culture and environment and training me and the

       Program Manager as well as our office assistant in strategic planning, with Goals, Objectives and Method Execution techniques, and using

       Quality Tools such as Plan-Do-Check-Act processes. This was critical and important to establishing this important program and setting a strong

       foundation in its inaugural year.

 

        Dr. Williams developed Process Flow Diagrams for every process she created including Onboarding Tutors and Mentors and the 

        comprehensive Orientation Program she developed to train and set expectations for both Students and Mentor/Tutors. She set up and

        accompanied our HTech Program Manager to meetings with Deans at local community colleges in our community whose populations will feed

        into our school and HTech Program. Dr. Williams also held several meetings on campus with Peer Departments such as Counseling/Advising,

        Multi-Cultural Initiatives to communicate and introduce our program goals, plus identify mutual areas and opportunities to work together in

        the future to achieve common goals. The end result is that we have established a MICUP/HTech Program and a foundation from which to grow

        from based upon the planning and diligent work completed in a short time (just 12 weeks) beginning this summer when Dr. Williams officially

        joined us on June 1, continuing through early fall. Despite commitments with other clients, Dr. Williams extended her stay to make sure that we

        had completed our first HTech Orientation Training Session (which she created and facilitated) and HTech Welcome Reception and Open

        House."
