Testimonials from our workshop on August 19

Heidi and I facilitated another workshop for laidoff employees last week and here are some of the comments we received. I also want to share their contact information with you. In case you have any positions to offer or you know of companies that may be interested, please don't hesitate to request their resumes.

Good Morning Karin & Heidi:

First, I would like to thank you both very much for a very uplifting, informative and well structured presentation last night. It was three hours well invested. I have been to many seminars/workshops and the like, but yours ranks in the top echelon of well organized and enjoyable. I thought it is important for you to receive feedback.

Thanks again for a wonderful workshop, and all the best to you both.

The workshop with Karin and Heidi was very interesting. I met different people and found that not only me is looking for a job. I found that many other people with even more work experience and better skills are in the same situation. Karin and Heidi provided us with many ideas and techniques how to overcome fear, stress and encourage ourselves. The most important was that all their ideas and suggestions were based on their own experience. It was excellent workshop with very personal attitude to each participant.

Thanks a lot for your help and for your interesting and encouraging workshop.

Dear Karin,

When you are searching for your next job sometimes it can be hard to see the forest for the trees and you can easily feel lost and confused. I wanted to personally thank both you and Heidi for offering your time to present the free workshop “ Layoff During Difficult Times – The End or a New Beginning” to help keep me on the right path to success. Your workshop was extremely candid, inspiring and is helping to guide me down new directions I never saw before. Your passion is evident in what you do which makes all the difference and I wish you both continued success.

Thanks again,

Hi Karin,

I wanted to thank you for the insightful presentation you and Heidi gave last night.
I learned that there can be a positive side to everything and that good things can happen if one applies themselves to it.

You mentioned something about having additional resource information if we send you an email to you requesting it. I would be pleased if you can forward to me that information.

Also, can you tell me more about the "Toastmaster Organization"?

Regards,

Heidi and I find this work very rewarding and we know that we make a difference. Unfortunately some people make it very hard for us to promote this FREE workshop. Shouldn't it be in everybody's interest to assist people in finding a job and help them to build up their self esteem?

Do you know the the Starfish Story? If not, take the time to watch it because that's how we feel!

What do you do to make a difference?


Our next workshop will be on September 23, 2009 - please forward to people who may be interested!
