“Tommie Lewis and I worked together for several years on a number of initiatives. I have always been impressed wtih his work and his management style. He is an excellent collaborator. He demonstrates that you don't need to be the loudest voice in the room to get your point across. He can (and does) ask the tough question without being the tough guy. I don't think I've ever seen a more effective proponent of diversity than Tommie. He truly "gets it", and carries no personal or hidden agenda into the discussion. Perhaps most importantly, Tommie has a genuine concern for those around him. He continues to be active in community service efforts.”

"After looking into several Leadership programs for my son I decided to enroll Logan into an 8 week Youth Leadership Program with Make It Plain Consulting. Logan received one on one training with Tommie Lewis and he absolutely loved it, every week he looked forward to the sessions. I sat in on a few sessions and I was highly impressed how methodical Tommie was in everything he taught Logan. I received an extremely detailed report of every session which was especially useful. During this 8 weeks course Logan became more in tune with himself, internalizing the reasons behind all of his actions good or bad and recognized his strengths as well as his weaknesses. Logan learned the importance of setting personal goals, what it means to be a leader and what it takes to attain his goals. Most importantly Logan walked away with leadership skills that will last a life time and I highly recommend this course for any youth."

"Make It Plain has been coming to Thomas More College to speak with our students for almost 9 years now. One of the challenges that comes with presenting is finding a way to connect with each of those within your audience. One voice can sometimes make a difference to a person and I can say that Tommie (CEO, Make It Plain Consultng) has been that voice for several of our students here at Thomas More College."
Billy Sarge Director of Recruitment Thomas More College (Crestview Hills, KY)
“After having attended many seminars throughout my career, I can honestly say Tommie Lewis is the best speaker, facilitator, and coach I have witnessed. His ability to “Make It Plain” is undoubtedly his best asset. By making it plain, Mr. Lewis gives his audience the ability to grasp the foundation from which an idea or belief is created, the tools to understand how that drives current behavior and the forethought to choose the best path moving forward. If you have never attended a session led by Tommie Lewis, stop depriving yourself.”
Al Riddick President and CEO Game Time Budgeting, LLC
"Everytime Tommie speaks on our campus, there is a group of students who are moved so much...they want to make serious change. Tommie has been one of the most impactful speakers we have had on the Wilberforce University campus. He has such a diverse range of expertise to offer our young people, I find myself, thinking of events to sponsor that Tommie can be a part of."
Dean Parris Carter Dean of Students Wilberforce University (Wilberforce, OH)
