RMN’s MAGIC SAUCE

(What We Do)

What does a healthy, vibrant organization look like?

At RMN, we believe it is characterized by 3 core characteristics: Engagement. Collaboration. Leadership.

ENGAGEMENT

RMN helps your employees and colleagues see how they fit within the organization. We tie their individual stories to the story you are building together.

Engage

COLLABORATION

Once each member of the organization sees how she fits and understands the true values and mission of the organization, enthusiasm and inspiration flourish. Motivation springs from within, organically.

Collaborate

LEADERSHIP

With authentic motivation in place, every piece of the puzzle falls into place. Each person contributes to the mission of the organization, because it is intrinsically tied to her own. This is true effective leadership. It rises from within and occurs with or without the presence of the organizational leader.

Lead

Strengthen Your Organization's

Success is all that is left.

Engage your team in the identification of real problems.

Collaborate to develop powerful solutions.

Nurture the motivation arising from engagement.

Create organic leadership structure where each person accepts responsibility for the whole.

Achievement will unfold before you at every turn from there.

At RMN, we are serious about building healthy, vibrant organizations.

Clients' FEEDBACK

Samara Tuchband, GM Online @ The Home Depot
From concept to execution, it was a pleasure to work with Denise and Relationships Matter Now, LLC on a lunch and learn workshop for our Women in Marketing and Merchandising network at The Home Depot. She tuned in to our needs and desires and created a custom workshop that was well attended and well received by our membership. Her high energy style and relevant content delivery engaged our members and served as great catalyst to start our new year. We gladly recommend her to any group looking to ignite their membership to action.
Debba Joy Hapert, Manager - Education / eLearning @ Collective Bias
Denise was the KEYNOTE speaker for our conference, SoFabCon.com. She challenged everyone in the room to be creative, inspired us to pursue our dreams and gave us solid advice on how to do that. It was an awesome talk for every person in the room and we loved having her start our day by sharing her wisdom and insights. I highly recommend her to challenge and inspire your...MORE.
Susan Driscoll, CEO and Founder ignition-inc, www.ignition-inc.com
I am pleased to recommend Denise Barreto and Relationships Matter Now. ignition-inc and Denise have had a long relationship dating back to the late nineties when she was part of our ignitor team. We were delighted to support her in her new endeavor, Relationships Matter Now, LLC last year and it was a great experience. From start to finish, Denise tuned in to our needs and together we built a custom relationship retention training program for our entire staff. The actual presentation was engaging and well received by our team. We have even implemented the “Relationship Toolbox” concept we created that afternoon. Denise is a high energy, authentic leader who lives her company’s motto – “changing the world, one relationship at time”. We’d hire her again.
Scott Scornavacco, Director – Business Affairs @ Spiffy Entertainment
Denise and Relationships Matter Now are a great strategic partner for Spiffy Entertainment. We currently work with Denise on three separate projects that were born from a casual conversation about one project that organically grew into more. She has an amazing way of connecting people, ideas and action toward a goal and making good things happen. She is creative, resourceful and an excellent communicator with mad marketing chops. We are glad to have her as part of our team.
Debbie Majchszak, Customer Service Manager @ Park Ridge Park District
We had the pleasure of working with Denise and Relationships Matter Now, LLC on a custom training program for our staff in the fall of 2012. She was thorough in her preparation in advance of the program and the program itself was fun, engaging and had an immediate impact on our staff. We heard people using some of the language Denise used in the program hours after they’d heard it. It was a great experience from start to finish and we plan to work with her again.
LoriKay Paden, CPRP Academic Advisor/Consultant @ University of Illinois Illinois Park and Recreation Association, Chairman of the Board
It is always a refreshing treat to have Denise Barreto speak at our Illinois Park and Recreation Association and CIRCLE Connection conferences. She takes the time to know her clients, their needs and desires. Researches and provides relevant information in a fun, professional and interactive style.
