I am always impressed by the understanding that Shelley has of our culture and the leadership/development needs throughout our organization. Shelley is very quick to connect and offer processes that assist in our strategy development as we continue to move our talent management programs forward.
Shelley is a consummate professional with a practical and positive approach. I really appreciate her energy. She has been instrumental helping our team with several training and professional development initiatives, including Predictive Index and presentation skills. I would highly recommend her.

It is impossible to force someone to change, and inadvisable to try.
Far better is to foster the desire for personal growth, and provide a positive setting for it to grow into professional leadership development. That’s what we strive to promote at Premier Rapport.
Our founder & CEO Shelley Smith spent decades in top executive positions with such institutions as the Marriott Corporation, LTD Hospitality Group, & HMP Properties, as well as family-owned and operated businesses. Put her experience to work for you, with a leadership workshop from Premier Rapport.
Invest in your greatest asset: your people. Install supportive systems for your teams, which identify and channel each individual’s unique talents, skills, and motivations. Empower each employee as a leader responsible for themselves, their coworkers, and the company’s bottom line.
If this resonates with you and your company could benefit from this mentality, we urge you to read a few of our blogs, and to contact Shelley Smith with Premier Rapport.A Little About Me
