Handouts for Future Reference

I liked getting the handouts to use as reference in the future.  The manual and worksheets are very useful.  I learned to have confidence in my decision making, to delegate my workload, and to plan and set goals.  I now plan almost every day to prepare for the next day, week, etc.  Our group is closer now resulting in better communication.

Open Discussion

You are a wonderful speaker and I enjoyed this workshop.  Lots of useful information.  I am more effective in management of my time, delegation, and giving better performance appraisals.  Now I constantly strive to set goals for myself in my work and my personal life.  I benefited greatly from the open discussion when you had everyone talk openly to solve a problem.  I will use the program materials as an ongoing source of information when I encounter a problem or situation.  I will look back at my accomplishments as a motivator.

Good Refresher

Dan, I have been through several workshops in the past.  Some of this was repeat.  You did a good job, thank you.  In each area, I have picked up new ideas or have brought back up things I have forgotten.  This lets me be better.  Our group benefited by hearing the same thing and can call upon each other for additional help.

More Decisive

I have a higher level of confidence, I am more decisive, and have a greater knowledge and awareness of potential problems in the office environment.  Our group benefited by hearing everyone's viewpoint on each situation presented, then applying the information individually.  This format was very effective for me.  The material presented encouraged each supervisor/manager to take a critical look at themselves.
