We have been a client of Wendy Sellers for several years and will remain one for many more. Her wealth of expertise and knowledge in the HR industry has played a significant role in the growth of our company in establishing a culture we love, with a focus on the wellness and happiness of our staff. Her top priority for her clients is their success and she truly becomes a member of your leadership team. We appreciate that she educates us on best practices & explains all of our options so we can make educated decisions instead of telling us what to do.
My employees were not communicating well with each other and things got to a crisis point where two wanted to quit. I had met Wendy years ago and was impressed. I called her for HR advice, she met with my staff, had several management training sessions (on DiSC personality styles). We got all the issues on the table, had fun, and improved communication. My staff is happy, morale is high, and we are finally working as a team, which in turn makes me and my patients happy. I highly recommend her.
Thank you for the informative classes. I found your teaching style engaging and effective. I look forward to reviewing all of the resources you have given us, and to continuing to learn from you. I learned so much from the course and from the other interactions with the other attendees.

Wendy always manages to foster positive discussions and bring the best out of others. I am looking forward to more projects with Wendy.
On the topic of human behavior & communication, Suck it up Buttercup nails it! Wendy points out the most commonly overlooked flaws people make. She gives examples I know I was able to relate to (many were similar to experiences I’ve had) and points out where most mistakes were made. She also gives great examples of how interactions should have gone to get better results. -Chris W
Wendy helped redefine our interview/hiring process, employee review & evaluation process, organized benefit committees, corporate HR events, and was open and honest in all our discussions and interactions. Through our time together, we only had one major employee issue that I can recall. She handled the situation with extreme professionalism and ensured the company followed the correct procedures to manage the company’s risk, while serving the employees’ rights.
Wendy brings a level of passion and professionalism that companies seek out and enjoy working with. She’s top notch with her work ethic and was a pleasure to work with for many years.
Her book has opened my eyes in more ways than one. After receiving her book only weeks ago, I have already implemented ways to become a better leader. I have learned to drop my guard aka “pride” allowing my employees to be more open and willing to share. I have also increased my clientele tremendously with some of the tools she has shared. Wendy, I, my team and clients truly thank you! Aaron A
The leadership concepts in the book “Suck It Up, Buttercup” really resonated with me as a fast-paced, direct leader myself. The manner in which Wendy Sellers delivers these leadership concepts is so simple that I had to kick myself for not making these realizations before. I bought a copy for each of my managers to read and discuss.
Our overall company-wide productivity has already increased. – Vincent E

Amazon review: This is an impactful, concise book. The author has taken basic knowledge that all leaders should know and crafted it into a fun, useful reference book. The subject matter really gets to the core of the topic of what makes a good leader. The critical message is that leaders need to “suck it up” or be courageous and conscientious about the difficult part of being a leader. Communication is a crucial part of leadership. Leaders need to share information with their staff and other stakeholders. By following her tips, leaders can prevent themselves from becoming what she classifies as a bad leader. Bad leaders from her past experience have inspired her to put her knowledge to paper in this book in the hope that it will prevent other leaders from making the same mistakes. She urges leaders to be part of the solution.
Poor leaders lead to decreased company profits. Leaders need to adapt and bring out the best in their staff. To do this, leaders need to be self-aware and note that communication styles differ between people. They need to adapt their own styles if necessary to optimally get through to their staff. Leaders must listen and talk with, not at their staff. She suggests taking on a different personality and communication style to your own for 15 minutes at a time in order to build strong relationships with your staff. Having an open-door policy is also one of her suggestions for creating a good atmosphere in the workplace. The book leaves you feeling positive and hopeful that it’s possible to have mutually beneficial communication and relationships between leaders and their staff. Recommended to all leaders and aspiring leaders.
Wendy Sellers delivers powerful, no-nonsense insights that make you pause and reflect on your leadership and communication style. I appreciate her direct approach, and this book is the perfect follow-up to her first book, Suck it Up Buttercup!
Even if you think you’ve already mastered these skills, a slight tweak in your interactions can transform your workplace and elevate your company culture.
If you care about your team, peers, clients, or personal relationships, investing just an hour and a few bucks in this book is a game changer. Your ROI will be well worth it!
The leadership concepts and stories of poor management in “The Asshole Whisperer” really resonated with me and some experiences I have been through. The manner which Wendy Sellers delivers these leadership concepts are so simple that I had to kick myself for not making these realizations before. I bought a copy for each of my managers to read and discuss. Our overall company-wide productivity has already increased and we now openly (yet respectfully) call each other out when exhibiting crappy leadership and dealing with jerks in our workplace.
I started 12 modules of manager training during the holiday break and I must say I LOVE IT!!! The short segments provides in-depth concepts and best practices in leadership. I love how it provides tools you can put to use right away. This training has challenged me to think outside of the box and assess if the way I do things still works! I highly recommend this boot camp series for leaders or aspiring leaders. – Business Associate, Childcare Resource
I really enjoyed the shorter, fully packed management training courses. You can easily soak up all the knowledge, with little downtime. It has helped me to control the chaos in my department – New Manager, Production
Our live session was just what we needed. With everything going on in our country and across the globe, some conversations were getting a little too heated and disruptive. Now we use the resources as a reminder to keep conversations professional and respectful so we can listen to others opinions (even when the opposite of ours) and retain trust. – Law Firm
