What is Level Up Solutions?

Level Up Solutions is about creating excellence through people. Sounds inspiring, right? It is, along with a lot of work. Our goal is to guide you through that work with consulting options, education, and more, to empower you, the business leader, to take your company and its workforce to the next level. In other words, offer you Level Up Solutions.

As workforce complexities increase, now more than ever, employers need business partners to help build a path forward. Learning and development is the starting point of that path by attracting and retaining qualified talent that makes your business thrive. HR consulting services offer value and a return on investment through establishing policies and practices to not only keep your business in compliance, but that work for the organization.

Level Up Solutions strives to create an experience that is conducive to success for our clients and their unique workforce. We accomplish this by listening to you, building lasting relationships, and understanding your business strategies, goals, and the needs of your workforce.

Testimonials

Terri Cummings presented a Communication and Conflict Resolution training on-site to our group of team leads and supervisors. While our group had worked together for a long time, they had not had any formal training on communication skills or how to avoid and resolve conflict through better communication.

We invited Terri and Level Up Solutions in for our first group training. Terri intuitively picked up on dynamics within the group and offered insight for each individual to understand their role in the communication process and offered sound and practical advice. All agreed it was time well spent.

Heather SchneckWomen to Work Program Director

I recently enlisted the services of Level of Solutions to provide a workshop for a cohort from She Built This City, a nine-week training program that introduces women to careers in skilled trades and construction. Terri Cummings delivered an engaging and insightful presentation that was both informative and empowering. She made complex concepts accessible and relevant to everyone in the room and covered it all with clarity and enthusiasm.

Thanks to Terri’s expertise and ability to connect, the cohort of women felt better prepared and more confident. Feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive. Her session was a valuable investment in the professional growth of attendees, and I highly recommend her to any group looking for inspiring and practical guidance!
