"This was a fantastic presentation. Ms. Wilson was courageous to address some issues that we all dance around - like an elephant in the living room. I appreciated her insight, advice and her challenge to make a better workplace. I've already asked my superiors to use this process on me, and if I can use it on my staff. Thank you for having this course!"Veronica, NC
"Definitely an excellent use of 1.5 hours! Got a lot of take a ways in the short period of time from this class. This is the first class that I am actually going to print out the handouts. They will be extremely valuable in guiding myself and my managers to having better employee relationships. Thanks!"Phillip, NC
"Without a doubt, one of the best seminars for anyone who is in the business of communicating within their own business or with clients. It is not only applicable to issues dealing with key employees within a business or firm, but with all types of communications in the business environment."Kate, AZ
"Insightful perceptions. However, I found the "sheep" analogy jarring. In our culture, "sheep" are considered followers. Yet you were equating them with the "rising stars." Didn't work for me. I also found all the "and um's" and "you know's" unpleasant to listen to."Wendy, WA
"I really enjoyed Jennifer's presentation. It gave me a lot of valuable information regarding rising stars and key questions to ask in order to keep them engaged in the organization."James, NJ
