The stronger features of the workshop were the enthusiasm with which it was delivered; knowing that anything that you can do in-person, you can do on-line and the practice going in and out of breakout rooms. I also felt I learned a lot about Zoom. I highly recommend this. Great job!

Having worked with Sandra for many years in a variety of capacities I have always found her passion for people to be at the core of the work she does. Sandra’s dedication to bringing people together to learn and challenge themselves is remarkable. If you have ever been in a room with Sandra you will leave energized, with a renewed passion for your work and an enthusiasm that is contagious.

[As a new graduate], I found myself in an employment world of shrinking job availability and increased competition. Sandra was pivotal in assisting me with understanding myself as a person, and as a potential employee. Her perspectives on what personal and professional characteristics businesses are looking for in employees were remarkably insightful. Sandra worked with me to provide me the self-awareness I needed to speak confidently with potential employers…I owe my success in my job search to Sandra.

Whether you are working with Sandra as a colleague or a participant of her many workshops, she brings great enthusiasm, knowledge and concern for quality. Sandra’s knowledge of her training programs, such as Personality Dimensions, is next to none. This knowledge, along with her warm personality and flawless delivery make for exceptional workshops leaving you feeling like there is nothing you cannot tackle. I have also had the opportunity to work with Sandra and it was an absolute pleasure. She maintained open lines of communication, gave useful feedback and always provided the highest quality of work. As a young professional, Sandra has left me with useful tools, tips and tricks that I refer to on a regular basis. Her ‘open door’ attitude means that she is a mentor that I take extra effort in utilizing. I am happy to include her in my network.

Sandra, I just have to say you were amazing. I already heard feedback from a few attendees about the webinar and they felt the same. I noticed we did not lose any participants throughout the session which is always an indication of how captivating it was. The strategies will be put into great use.

Thank you for your excellent class. I learned a great deal mainly as a result of your relaxed and laidback style, which relaxed me out of my nervousness and allowed me to connect with my creativity and imagination. Your style of focusing on what is relevant and your openness in showing your process of learning from experience, how we can become effective presenters is most appreciated. Very quickly you were one of us. I was so at ease the three hours flew by. The next morning, I went over the printout and I remembered all of it. Thank you, Sandra. It was a pleasure to watch a true professional.
