“I just wanted to put into writing my high regard for your help and talents over the last few years. Not only did I have the pleasure of attending several of your formal classes, such as Supervisory Academy and Interest Based Problem Solving, but I also benefited greatly from several one-on-one meetings with you such as preparing for my promotional interview. In the classes, you always had a complete and expert grasp of the subject matter, and presented it in an easy and interesting style. It was always clear that your credibility in the field you were teaching was at a current and very competent level, so that the audience was engaged knowing that they would be gaining essential knowledge. You helped many of us to improve our skills in dealing with interpersonal relationships in the workplace. More importantly, I think, your friendly and light touch, enhanced by a great sense of humor, made each issue pleasant, interesting and accessible. Thanks also for your help with my skills during the interview training sessions. After meeting with you, my confidence and comfort level went way up, and I’m sure that I did better in the actual interview process because of your help.”
