Jeanne began providing consulting services for D2K Marketing in December of 2019 and has been a consistent and valuable contributor ever since. She has been involved in a wide range of projects that include; network organization, company insurance, website review, online product development, documentation and process instructions, automation projects, and much more.

Often Jeanne handles high-level management projects that I, as a business owner, need to have in place, but do not have the time or energy to complete. I am able to rely on her vast senior management experience and often use her as a “sounding board” for project development or resolving business challenges. She asks good questions and is diligent in understanding not just what we do, but why.

Lastly, Jeanne has been a huge asset in employee training and development. She has provided one-on-one mentoring, group training, direct supervision, and objective employee evaluations. In addition, she managed the development and implementation of several major employee projects; employee handbook, sexual harassment training, employee bonus program, and performance review forms and procedures. Overall, I am extremely grateful for the contributions Jeanne has made to my business, her willingness to tackle small and large projects, and the quality of her work product. She has certainly been an asset with a capital A.

As the current President Elect of Central Illinois chapter of NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners), I have had the pleasure of working with Jeanne Reddish and her firm, Rose Colored Glasses. She has provided 20 hours of administrative support each month to our chapter since January and has done great work in her first 90 days. She has been trained on our chapter software (much of which she did on her own time), does weekly mass email notes to more than 100 members and sponsors, conducts 60+ personal calls to members and sponsors to invite them to our monthly meeting and even registers them in our system as necessary. She also attends our monthly meeting, welcomes guests, gathers contact information, distributes and collects name tags and supports the speaker with meeting set up. She also updates the President and the Membership Chair with monthly membership and sponsor updates so they can follow up individually on recruiting and renewals. Jeanne is very organized, has updated our systems and processes and is great to work with too. I would highly recommend her as a working partner for your firm or organization.

Jeanne has provided tremendous support and coaching in my role as a new supervisor. Due to her vast experience, she is able to provide numerous perspectives and relate to a lot of different situations, which make her a very effective coach. Recently she facilitated the True Colors Assessment with our team and conducted follow up one-on-one discussions with each team member. In her discussions she covered their color, as well as, how it and the other team members’ colors work together or could be challenging. She has remarkable knowledge regarding the True Colors Assessment and did a fantastic job sharing this information with our team. This was an amazing additional support for me to the coaching she has already provided. My team has also given rave reviews regarding how helpful the insight provided from the Assessment and Jeanne have been to better overall organizational communication and understanding.

As a sole proprietor, it is hard to manage all areas of running a business well. Hiring Jeanne to relieve me of some of the “business” duties, I was able to focus more on the artistic and customer service parts of my work. I found Jeanne to be thoughtful, timely, precisely accurate, and helpful during the time she assisted me. I like that she is willing to help a small service business like mine on an “as needed” basis and doesn’t require a long term contract. I will definitely use Jeanne’s services again.

Jeanne is an effective leader who was often called on to help manage major client, product, and service initiatives that impact multiple departments throughout the company. Jeanne has the ability to quickly learn and apply technical information, and her experience allows her to provide creative solutions to solve problems. Her methodical, hands-on approach results in well-outlined plans to address critical product or service issues.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeanne for many years. She is an excellent communicator, very organized and a professional leader. I have always been impressed with her ability to balance the needs of the company, client and employees. She is very energetic, enjoys solving problems and has a good work ethic. Jeanne will be a success at whatever she decides to do in life.

I worked with Jeanne during a system conversion/integration project. She is well organized, understands the yellow page industry extremely well and was a pleasure to work with on this project. It lasted over 2 years and with Jeanne’s help was able to bring the project in under budget and 6 months earlier than expected. I would highly recommend Jeanne as we would not have been able to pull off this project without her involvement. She helped remove road blocks to keep the project moving and coordinated the effort of her staff to help make the transition as smooth as possible.

Jeanne is no ordinary Operations Director. In the time I worked with her at Marquette she demonstrated excellent leadership, exuding confidence in her actions no matter how difficult the task and always remembering the team she was managing. Jeanne always offered encouragement and support where needed and was never afraid of change. This was particularly evident as we worked closely together to move the business from a traditional print base to a more demanding online business. Her understanding of systems and process enabled us to build a strong foundation to launch new products and services while maintaining a standard of customer service and employee engagement. Jeanne’s key role was always to ensure her internal and external customers were satisfied and whenever possible that customer expectations were exceeded. She played a major role in large-scale systems integrations over a period of many years, dealing with industry stalwarts and always pushing for progress and accountability in everything she pursued. Jeanne is particularly skillful in determining service and contractual policies and has the ability to look at situations from all sides of the fence, ensuring business success without compromising customer service. Jeanne was equally at home whether running a motivational training session for her team or spending time analyzing profitability and customer satisfaction reports. She would use this knowledge to find new ways to streamline the business, improve efficiencies and increase profitability. She is a total professional, able work with all different types of managers and people and predicts their needs. She at all times exhibited a standard of accountability and delivery within the business and could always be relied on for objective counsel. Jeanne would be an asset to any company, particularly one whose focus is market excellence and customer and employee satisfaction.

Jeanne Reddish has always been an effective leader by providing constructive feedback, offering suggestions when situations may arise, and supporting her employees with decisions that need to be made and collaborating with other departments to achieve desired results. She has worked with me for years even when she was not my immediate supervisor to assist in my growth within the organization again by providing constructive and timely feedback which resulted in several promotions in my own career. She has an abundance of knowledge regarding the strategic direction of the organization and strives to achieve positive results. She is a great mentor and coach and has developed strong leaders within our organization. Jeanne empowers her employees to provide solutions independently and provides suggestions when necessary. She communicates effectively by listening and actively encourages others to participate as well. Personally, she has always encouraged me to re-evaluate and collaborate effectively with other departments to ensure that the client is receiving superior customer service. Jeanne is always willing to evaluate a situation objectively and determine the best fit for all parties involved. I appreciate all the experience and knowledge that Jeanne has provided me with throughout the years and hope to share my understanding of leadership to the best of my ability with others, as she has done for me.
— Sandra Haynes Team Leader - Marquette Group now Mindstream Media, Peoria, IL

Jeanne is a professional leader and sets a great example for teamwork and collaboration. She empowers her team to perform well which allow them to demonstrate initiative and accountability. Jeanne has the ability to see the big picture, think outside the box, develop solutions, and reach smaller goals as a stepping-stone to accomplish a larger one. It is a great pleasure to work with Jeanne.
