It has been a pleasure to work with Daphne Latimore and I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to work on her HR leadership team. There wasn’t a day that went by I didn’t learn something from her. In her role as the HR Director, she assisted her leadership team through numerous challenges. One of our most challenging times was to become CMMI level 3 certified in less than a year. Daphne was involved throughout this entire process but was most critical and influential during the interviews. Daphne worked with the team over several months to help: 1.) with presentation skills 2.) carefully evaluate word and phrase choices, and 3.) eliminate unnecessary information to keep the presentation and interview simple. She is patient, and a great leader and mentor. We completed our interviews with great success and achieved our CMMI level 3 certification. Thanks, Daphne!

Daphne Latimore is committed to developing leaders at all levels of an organization. She has a keen eye for assessing strengths and needs and can articulate them in a way that makes them understandable and actionable. She is a good listener and can discern what is behind the words people use. Most importantly, she takes all this material and helps people understand and develop their talents. I have watched her use these skills in developing executives, her staff and her colleagues, including me. I have watched her develop strong and trusting relationships at all levels. And I have watched her succeed in developing business plans and personal development plans that resulted in better business strategies. I would recommend her highly for any organization that appreciates the positive difference effective leaders can make in an organization.

Mrs. Latimore’s advice on my education and career choices has helped me tremendously in reaching my professional goals. I continue to draw on what she has taught me about professionalism and how to conduct oneself in the workplace to this day.

Mrs. Latimore’s guidance, mentorship, and clairvoyance were instrumental in helping me obtain a highly competitive position for the Department of Defense. Her insights she provided during mock interviews, when evaluating my presentations, and when advising me on appropriate business attire definitely aided me with winning that position. Now that I have the position, I ask for her assistance on conflict resolution issues within my department and ways to make my department more efficient.
