"I just finished reading Sandy Allgeier's new book and all I can say is WOW! She did an OUTSTANDING job in writing this book!!! There are so many practical suggestions that one can take from it. I loved it so much that I've ordered three dozen copies to share with key leaders in my organization. Sandy, thank you so very much! I already said it to you once, but I'll say it again, “You are the best!”
~ Alfonso N. Cornish, Vice President Education and Development/Chief Learning Officer, Norton Healthcare

“To be an effective leader, you must be trustworthy. If people don’t trust you, they won’t follow you. And if they won’t follow you, your organization won’t meet its goals. Sandy Allgeier explains that personal credibility comes down to a simple truth: It’s not about the type of person you are; it’s about the types of things you do. If you want to be a great leader, read The Personal Credibility Factor.”

“Personal credibility has everything to do with how others perceive us and how we perceive ourselves. Sandy Allgeier’s book teaches the all-important truth that it doesn’t matter how much money, status, or power you have if nobody believes in you. Every parent should read The Personal Credibility Factor and instill its lessons in their kids.Achieving a full understanding of these principles is the first step in becoming a truly great human being.”

“The new ‘PC’ isn’t ‘political correctness’—it’s ‘personal credibility.’ This book is a needed reminder that no matter how old you are or what you’ve accomplished in life, you are never, ever done learning about yourself or those around you. From the easier-said-than-done resolution to avoid gossip to the it’s-as-hard-as-it-sounds process of building up your self awareness, Allgeier has filled her book with the life lessons we never seem to fully learn the first time we hear them. (Or maybe that’s just me!)”
~ Mike Staver, CEO of The Staver Group; Author of Do You Know How to Shut Up? And 51 Other Life Lessons That Will Make You Uncomfortable

“Sandy Allgeier succinctly conveys how critical it is to earn the respect of those around you. It’s true: Being respected propels you forward in life like nothing else. And all is not lost when you make a mistake—Allgeier includes a much-appreciated chapter on how we can win back personal credibility when we’ve faltered. The Personal Credibility Factor will teach anyone who reads it how to become a better, more authentic, more successful human being.”
~ Dr. Nido R. Qubein, President, High Point University; Chairman, Great Harvest Bread Co.

“Between these covers lies the stuff great organizations are made of. If you’re a business owner or leader, I suggest you make The Personal Credibility Factor required reading for your employees and yourself. You’ll learn the importance of authenticity, of transparency, of asking yourself on a daily basis if you’re striving to be the best person you can be. If everyone in your organization reads this book, not only will it be a better place to work, but I guarantee you your customers will be happier too.”
~ Jeffrey A. Miller, CEO of Jeffrey Miller + Associates; Author of The Anxious Organization: Why Smart Companies Do Dumb Things

“I found myself nodding in agreement as I turned the pages of The Personal Credibility Factor. It proves the lesson I learned as a child—one I now pass on to my students—is true: Your actions do speak louder than your words. Sandy Allgeier’s book spells out the basics of building personal credibility in an eloquent, readable way. In fact, I plan to start recommending it to my students and their parents!”
