The session was amazing and so personally geared to what we needed. Between the content and interaction, it was a 10/10. We would love to have Tracy back next year and are already working on dates and locations. I look forward to booking for next year!
Tracy Spears is a phenomenal speaker and executive coach. Her materials, particularly on temperament type-casting, are innovative and engaging. I have seen Tracy conduct her workshop three times and each time, I learn a new fact about myself and my colleagues. Attending Tracy’s workshop should be a prerequisite for any professional or manager who works with teams. Tracy will arm you with tools to help you manage up or down, and most importantly, manage yourself.

The event was FANTASTIC! Tracy provided communication strategies that an employee can implement RIGHT NOW and see change. I especially loved the “Timely Talk,” model, and I have already used it with a co-worker and my husband!
Cassia Carr | Social Chair, Women’s Energy Network
Tracy is just the right combination of process and strategy along with fun! The activities she had planned for our strategic planning retreat, which included a mixture of both board and staff members, were just right to engage each other, open up lines of communication and start the visioning process. I cannot believe how much we accomplished in just one day! We left energized and ready to tackle all the goals we outlined for the future of The Center! Thank you Tracy for your exceptional leadership and facilitation!

Each year the Tulsa State Fair strives to increase customer service and provide the best, family friendly environment for our guests. The leadership training with Tracy Spears provided our team with additional knowledge, perspective and skills for their toolbox. Tracy has a spark that can ignite any team member, and bring it to what is relevant in the circumstance. Without a doubt, Tracy is impactful, and her passion for leadership should be part of your next training.
Amanda Blair | CEO, Expo Square
As an organization that brings in over ten national speakers each year, speaking to nearly 200 professionals varying in all career paths, Tracy was one of the best speakers we have commissioned in years. She was entertaining, insightful, compelling and empowering. She has an incredible talent for intertwining professional development topics into fun, enticing presentations; even topics that our attendees had seen before, such as working with difficult personalities, were fresh and full of new information. Our attendees are begging for more of Tracy and we’re excited to welcome her back in the very near future!
Brandi Spurling | Director of Women’s Network, Columbia Chamber of Commerce
Tracy was a great asset for our transformational event. Our attendees raved and enjoyed her presentation. They would love to see her back again!
Mandy Lyons | Stillwater Chamber of Commerce
Tracy was an excellent facilitator at our board retreat. She led the day with energy and humor and engaged members in creating and owning a very actionable strategic plan.
Deidra Kirtley | Executive Director, Resonance
I have already had the opportunity to use the language Tracy recommended for caring confrontations twice, once personally and another professionally. I was able to be more diplomatic than usual and Tracy’s training proved to be very helpful.
Melissa Kash | Tulsa Community College
As always, the session was very informative and fun! I always leave with actual, practical things I can use in my work and personal life. Also, Tracy is hilarious!
Josh Barnes | Tulsa Community College
Tracy is always genuine and upbeat, even when dealing with difficult topics/conversations. She helps people think about challenging situations, yet is able to generate a lot of laughter with her storytelling and presentations.
Suzanne Haynes | Tulsa Community College
I would listen to Tracy talk all day long. Every time, I learn something about myself and about those around me.
Amy Lagers | Tulsa Community College
Tracy’s presentation was thought provoking, fun, and entertaining. Her message was clear and provided valuable take aways that members can use immediately. I would recommend Tracy to other groups.
Craig Addington | National Association of Graphic & Product Identification Manufacturers
Thank you so very much for a thought-provoking and heartfelt presentation for our employees at DePaul. You took a room of people with varied backgrounds and life experiences and left us all with usable, relatable tools to improve our brand, our consciousness – ourselves.
Nancy McGovern | Director of Staff Development, DePaul
Using Tracy Spears to lead us through a board engagement process was the best thing we have done for the Tulsa Historical Society & Museum in years. Not only did we assess whether we had the right committees doing the right things, our board members left the four-hour session committed to doing specific tasks. Accountability is the next step and we will be able to celebrate board accomplishments by the end of the year.
Michelle Place | Executive Director, Tulsa Historical Society & Museum
It was refreshing to hear Tracy Spears speak on those 5 conversations. I think too many times these days, we don’t have those difficult yet productive conversations. By having those conversations, we can help others grow professionally as well as help our organizations become more productive. She not only tells you how those conversations are helpful but gives the audience specific skills in how to carry out those conversations.
Tori Collier | Oklahoma Behavior Health Conference
This was one of the best HUD Trainings I’ve attended. The facilitator was engaging, precise, and insightful.
Chris | US Department of Housing & Urban Development, Office of Public & Indian Housing
Strategic Planning with Tracy is an inspiring experience! Having the opportunity to work with Tracy twice, one as a staff member and one as a board member for different organizations, I can honestly say that each time everyone left feeling that we had common goals and a plan in place to move forward. She definitely knows how to bring people together in a fun and productive way.
Patty Wilson | LPC & Executive Director, Hospice of Green Country
I have repeatedly engaged Tracy Spears for presentations across the Firm, for different audiences, and on different topics. She is a master at effectively delivering a presentation. This is evident from the audience’s responses to her. Especially from partners at a law firm, who usually want to receive valuable information and perspectives from other lawyers. At the conclusion of one presentation, I had a partner say, “why isn’t she presenting on more topics and more often” and another chimed in with, “that’s the best coaching advice that I have ever received.” Audiences have requested that I bring Tracy back to deliver her presentation on temperaments and how to navigate a team.
Tracy is fluent in her topics, up on current events and trends, personable, reads a crowd well, and knows how to hone in on issues or topics expressed through participants’ responses or questions. I have witnessed her change the direction of her presentation because she realized that the audience would better respond to a different approach. Tracy, clearly, does not deliver a “canned” session.
Rosa Walker | Senior Director, Diversity & InclusionPillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP
Tracy does an outstanding job of providing insights and practical application of those insights for leaders in the workplace. Current and future leaders should find her knowledge and information as a valuable resource tool in their quest to be better leaders.
Mark Dobosz | Executive Director, National Creditors Bar Association
Tracy’s sessions stand out because she gives practical answers to complex questions, balancing telling it like it is with genuine empathy. She brings a brilliant perspective to this population of growing leaders, especially at this moment in time when it feels like leaders are being asked to be—somehow—both more results-oriented and more empathetic. Many are leading teams through pandemic fatigue or strategic and organizational changes.

Having Tracy Spears speak to associates was one of the year’s highlights for our organization. Tracy came in fully prepared, engaged, and ready to get people thinking differently than they had before. Talking about a topic like Imposter Syndrome can bring up a lot of questions, and a lot of emotions, which Tracy navigated with ease. Also, the conversation on self-limiting beliefs really resonated with folks, as we are all a continuous work in progress. Tracy’s message was simple and direct; we can all do hard things; we can control our impact and we can decide how to move forward for the best possible outcome. Even though the content was marketed by our Women’s Business Resource Group, a lot of the interaction and participation during the session came from men in the audience. Tracy made all participants feel welcome in the room which made for an excellent discussion!
