"A lot of the topics and suggestions you presented were things I already considered, but having them suggested to us, solidified the thought in my head that we need to do some things different. Although the class was on evaluation process, it was thought provoking in not only how I had handled feedback sessions and evals in the past, but also how I had handled items as a supervisor and how I could have been more effective then as well. Your teaching method was down to earth and easy to follow. You gave real life examples and personal experiences that made it easy to relate to the training.

Capt. Jason Conrad, Rose Hill (KS) PD

"I thoroughly enjoyed your class. Up until your class, I had only attended our required (every 3 or 5 years) evaluation class that is taught via State personnel.  They teach it to the evaluation forms which are all the same throughout the state (with few exceptions). I found your class to be interesting, insightful and I enjoyed the engagement and participation during the day."
