Simply Successful has helped my company, Cohen Woodworking, with a wide range of scope from sales training to personnel challenges to everyday business challenges over the last 12+ years. One of the greatest strengths of Bill and his team is that they live up to the name and have a unique gift to make complex situations simple. I am so grateful for the support Bill provides our team and me personally.

Mark S. Wrighton, Chancellor, Washington University

I worked closely with Ann Prenatt when she served Washington University as Vice Chancellor for Human Resources.  She is a problem solver, as demonstrated by sensitive and caring resolution to many complex personnel issues. She is an excellent listener and able to understand all sides in working to bring a good outcome from human conflict. An impressive administrative leader, I valued her wise counsel on a myriad of issues, and I always learned  something of value from our interaction.

I have known Bill Prenatt for 30 years. Entering the industry, Bill shared priorities that have served me my entire career. These priorities work because with his guidance, I created personal goals and priorities for myself. These priorities have become my guiding light and seemingly now, are natural instincts for me. Early on, Bill shared the importance of “investing in yourself. If you are unwilling, why would anyone else?” Being the best requires dedication to learning, keeping a childlike curiosity aligned with a good, better, best mindset that helps anyone overcome everchanging business climates. Even more, the focus stays on developing your team, and keeping your culture front and center. What I like about Bill’s style is that he listens, asks questions and offers candid, “point of order” feedback often with humor and a chuckle that keeps the point pertinent, yet delivered in a digestible manner. He then holds me accountable to action, with deadlines. He is my ultimate accountability partner. Bill is a servant leader who is guided by faith and centered on helping you achieve your goals. Any success I have achieved has Bill’s fingerprints on those results because he taught me how to behave as a leader for my team and my company. I urge you, don’t fly alone. Contact Bill!
