Client Testimonials
"I had the great pleasure of working with Anthony DeNino as a business consultant and coach.
As a business consultant I was thoroughly impressed with his ability to uncover and bring to my attention issues that were affecting both the morale and effectiveness of our staff. He provided workshops to create better communication and team cohesion that set the stage for creating greater trust and teamwork.
An even greater impact was made on me as a leader, through thoughtful listening and guidance, as I sought the most effective solutions to challenges we uncovered. He has a unique way of guiding you to answer your own questions while maintaining an approachable, entertaining demeanor, and his input is provided in such a respectful, confident way that it allows one to feel comfortable and valued.
Anthony is a great motivator, consultant and coach because his energy and passion are absolutely contagious. He is one of the most positive people I have ever met. I am very grateful for our time together as he helped me to lay a foundation for greater effectiveness of our team and become a better leader.
With great admiration and respect, I am pleased to provide this reference for CORe and Anthony DeNino."

We had the opportunity to work with Anthony DeNino and his company in 2021. Because of the work he accomplished following our initial four-month agreement, we brought him back for an additional three-months of service. He was able to help me and my team in multiple areas including sales training, communication, and enhancing our company’s culture. During our time together, he aided us in implementing different commission plans, benefits, and hiring ads. Anthony is very encouraging and positive, saying he’s going to do something, then follows through and achieves those goals. I needed a push to get things done and Anthony helped me do just that! I recommend him and his services for your company or nonprofit organization!
