Finally a program that encourages academic learning instead of how to copy each other, definitely worthwhile.”

"An excellent & highly valuable tool for all levels of management! Comprehensive, insightful, but still a lot of FUN!”

Jenny Aboud, Manager, Client Services,

The event was perfectly tailored to provide useful and timely advice that I can immediately apply to my business. The bonus was meeting more of my peers, which will lead to business we may never have received.”

This program provided a chance to get together with my peers in a relaxed environment. It was a great way to sit back and analyze the ways to improve our company without the daily distractions. Count me in for future programs.”

An extremely good program. It allowed me to see that my problems and concerns are not unique. Count me in for future programs.”

Dear Friends,

 

The “Managers Success Program” on August 3-4 in Philadelphia was fantastic! The speakers, the energy, the social events, were all great. I was humbled by the compliments and the unbridled enthusiasm all of you brought to the event. Special Thanks to Brenner Financial and TIPS Insurance for their sponsorship. I made two presentations in August on “Leadership in the workplace” and “Creating a selling environment”.

 

Special thanks to our speakers:

 

Vai Sikahema (former Eagle, NBC-10 in Philly), Tyler Green (former Phillie), Bubba Miller (former Eagle) who joined me in an impromptu addition to my presentation on “Leadership in the Workplace)

 

David Benton from The Rittenhouse Hotel: excellent presentation on “The Inverted Triangle” and how the hotel empowers employees to take care of guests quickly. His hands-on exercises illustrated the importance of communication in the office between every employee.

 

Dr. Yvonne La Mar Ph.D. blew the group away with nods of recognition and laughter as she helped all of us create a “Drama Free Workplace”.

 

Dr. Bob Laessig of Drexel University laid out the fundamentals of managing a successful business. His humor and visual aides drove home complicated material in a fun, interesting way.

 

Frank Rosenbaum CPA took us all to school and explained how we make funny in the chauffeured transportation business.

 

The upcoming program in November will bring back these speakers along with more interactive activities. I am looking forward to Part 2 of the August program in April of next year.

 

Regards,

 

Tommy
