"I have often said that if I were to design a competency model of what a Business Development professional (consultant) should look like - it would mirror that of Ms. Paralee Shivers.... someone who has the passion, commitment, and talent to help elevate a small business to the next level."

"Ms. P is a visionary with integrity and respect for small business owners. Her passion and commitment to the small business community has help many businesses take their companies to the next level. We love her and support her with all our heart."

“Paralee is a visionary. She sees the changes that are coming and has the ability to not only articulate them, but also to help others plan for and capitalize on them. Her most burning desire is to see and help small business succeed.”

“You are truly a great nurturer and encourager. You give the small businesses an opportunity to get exposure and to present their products to the public. May God richly bless you.”

“We have been waiting for you out here! Much success. This is your calling.”

“For the 20+ years I have known Paralee, she has been a truly committed advocate for small/minority and disadvantaged businesses.”

“Mrs. Shivers is a God-send. She has been such an inspiration to me in the business world as well as in ministry. In the words of Anne Frank:. How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."

“Paralee is the most dedicated, relentless advocate of small businesses that I have ever encountered. She makes it happen for all.”

"If there was ever a champion for the rights of small businesses, Paralee Shivers is indeed that person. As a small business owner, there have been innumerable times that I have turned to her for advice and guidance and always found it. I expect the launch of PAS Communications to shake the foundations of small business development programs nationwide and raise the bar to new heights."

“Paralee Shivers genuinely has a heart for equipping small businesses with the knowledge, motivation and connections needed to succeed. My business has been a firsthand recipient of Paralee’s tutelage and we’ve grown tremendously as a direct result.”
