“Over the span of 9 years, Make It Plain Consulting has been instrumental in growing the Student Intern Academy from 16 interns to over 500 interns.  I observed a team of professional and passionate trainers and coaches, create and execute programs that develop our future leaders during ‘Professional Development Fridays.’  Going above and beyond their duty, they continue to present programs year after year that intrigue our students and provide them with the tools to be successful in their career development.”
Al Riddick - President & CEO, Game Time Budgeting, LLC

“After having attended many seminars throughout my career, I can honestly say Tommie Lewis is the best speaker, facilitator, and coach I have witnessed. His ability to “Make It Plain” is undoubtedly his best asset. By making it plain, Mr. Lewis gives his audience the ability to grasp the foundation from which an idea or belief is created, the tools to understand how that drives current behavior and the forethought to choose the best path moving forward. If you have never attended a session led by Tommie Lewis, stop depriving yourself.”

Cynthia G Smith - Senior Consultant

“Make It Plain Consulting is an outstanding organization with top of the line team members who help set and achieve your personal and professional goals. I was able to speak with a career coach on a weekly and sometimes daily basis to develop and enhance my emotional intelligence to understand myself better and maximize my full potential. This has allowed me to effectively work through issues at work, enhance relationships with my coworkers as well as friends and family members, find a new job, negotiate employment offers and more. Any organization or individual will highly benefit from Make It Plain Consulting services.”

Aaron Ferris - Career Transition Manager, Job Corps Ohio (Columbus, OH)
