What students say about our classes

Went above and beyond to meet our class’s needs. Thank you!

If Information wasn’t available Ralph took the initiative to look it up overnight and present it. I appreciated the extra effort to present added figures and data on teleworking.

Awesome.

Great use of storytelling to bring practicality to the concepts

Effectively and seemingly effortlessly brought concepts from day one into day two as examples of what we had learned and put into practice with the group activities. We pulled the concepts together, but he talked in bigger picture terms that encapsulated the training expectations.

Very knowledgeable and savvy.

Great instructor.

Has a wonderful way about him in terms of how to create a safe environment, articulate clearly the information and lessons.

Was cordial, knowledgeable, and has a great personality. His sense of humor was greatly appreciated

Great overview of how different agencies work, brings vast experience with him, and is a great communicator. Provides helpful tips and ways of looking at issues a supervisor may have at work and provides alternative ways of thinking about things.
