[They] performed admirably completing all tasks and assignments with an attention to detail and efficient manner. Sheena is forward thinking and ambitious and often took matters into her own hands correctly anticipating both my needs and that of my company. She was always on time, on cue and with a positive, friendly and professional demeanor that made her a pleasure to work with and as an integral component of the business.

[They're an] ambitious team player who continuously strives to ensure that [their] team is functioning on all cylinders and does it all with a cheerful, can-do attitude we all love and appreciate.

Extraordinary explains Sheena Works (Chief Learning Officer) in the workplace. I have had the pleasure of getting to know her and witness her phenomenal ability to lead a team. She thrives in a competitive environment while also leading her team to success. Her determination, motivation, entrepreneurial spirit, and continued strive for only the best make her an asset to any company or organization she is a part of.

His (Stephen Ekstrom, Chief Strategist) talents seems to come easily and lie chiefly in his ability to dream up new ideas that excite the imagination leading to what I can only describe as viral enthusiasm that spreads throughout the rest of his department, and overflows into sales and ignites the will of the creatives in web development. At the Intrepid his encouraging up-beat attitude carried through all of the projects he undertook. I loved working with Steve. The changes I witnessed his influence make at the Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum were inspirational both to me and to many others.

Stephen (Chief Strategist) is a consummate professional with obvious expertise regarding travel and tourism. He is quick to respond and goes above and beyond expectations providing knowledge and insight, and it is a pleasure working with him.

...professional, fun, driven, motivating... extremely knowledgeable about the various needs of the tour and travel industry. Stephen and The Tourism Academy know how to bring stakeholders into alignment, teach the positive impact of tourism on our community and do it all sustainably...

I have been able to connect (and contract with) with key buyers that I have had difficulty establishing my own relationship with in the past. They have a proven track record in the tourism/hospitality industry as a well established connector between buyers and sellers and I would highly recommend their services.

A zest and enthusiasm for the hospitality and tourism industry. They work with all market sectors with ease. Their marketing abilities are very natural, and people will gravitate to them to hear what they have to say. If you need a boost to your marketing efforts, [The Tourism Academy] would be a great asset to you.

...passionate about ensuring lasting guest relationships and providing an exceptional experience.

Stephen(Chief Strategist) is a dynamic, energetic professional that is an asset to any brand! It has been my pleasure to work with Stephen on several cross promotions that enhanced our brand significantly. His insight and creativity in regard to Sales and Marketing is inspiring to all!
