TESTIMONIALS:

"Joan is a very knowledgeable, insightful, versatile, and engaging instructor. She has a special knack for conveying the most boring, mundane, or technical information in an energetic, entertaining, and easily understandable manner. I highly recommend her services!"

"I hired Joan on two occasions to train my colleagues and myself in how to facilitate risk assessment and business process mapping workshops. Joan's training helped me get a good start in facilitation. The realistic exercises gave me confidence when I was facilitating my own workshops shortly after the course. The other attendees also found the course very useful, and, based on several requests, we held the course again a few years later for new people in the group. In addition to practical training, Joan's course was also a primer on applied psychology for business people, with helpful lessons on how to build collaborative relationships, how to change other people's behavior, understanding how organizations really change their thinking, and how to deal with destructive personalities. In addition to expert knowledge in her own field, Joan has a strong technical grasp of auditing, risk management and business process, which shows in the delivery and relevance of her teaching."
