Participant Comments:

Ms. Sullivan did a very effective time management training with our staff.  The feedback from the staff members who participated was very positive; they feel better organized and ready to tackle their jobs with individual goals.  From a management point of view, I was very impressed with the preparation Andrea did.  The discussions and assessments she did helped her target the workshop and follow-up coaching for the best possible results.  It was a pleasure to work with her.

Andrea developed and presented a conflict management workshop to the staff of the West Chester Public Library.  She spoke with me extensively in planning the workshop to get a sense of what I felt was needed, and also surveyed the staff before and after the workshop to assess their needs and, later, what they had gained.  Andrea’s approach to teaching conflict management skills was both instructive and entertaining.  She taught the skills in such a way that staff members did not feel threatened and felt they had learned valuable new information.  Most are still using the skills Andrea taught them.  Andrea is concise and thorough in her work.  She is willing to devote the time necessary to make a project successful; indeed, to make any project an excellent one.  I am happy to recommend her.
