Testimonials from Corporate America
"In-baskets were really ugly around here before Stan's writing seminars. People used to spend considerable time reading through multiple-page, rambling discourses. But Stan's had over 1500 people here through his seminars, so the communication in our in-baskets now are quicker to read and more useful. We feel this program is not only for troubled writers. It's for everyone."
"We heard about Stan's seminar from other departments-- that it had been very beneficial. My whole department has gone through his seminar and I've seen better writing across the board. I really enjoy Stan. He's got a terrific sense of humor, a good attitude and a very positive way about him."
"This course presented simple, yet profound, truths about writing which have fundamentally changed the way employees and managers write at Unisys. Not only are participants writing more clearly and concisely, but they are faster and more confident. Every business school and every company in America should invest in Writing To Get Things Done. The results are fast and visible. And that's really the 'bottom line'."
"I'm happy to let you know that my e-mails, memos, and letters have become more professional because of techniques learned from Writing To Get Things Done. Before taking your course it took me 3-4 pages to get across a point that only required one page. As a trainer, I've taught six sessions of this course for corporate employees at Blue Cross Blue Shield. The response has been positive, the employees are focusing on writing to get there jobs done."
"We've been using the Writing To Get Things Done Program for more than fifteen years, and it has had a very positive impact within our business.

This course is simply a "must" for our managers to maximize their ability to get things done which ultimately affects our corporate bottom line."
"Writing To Get Things Done is a valuable part of our development training. We really needed to learn the importance of writing for the reader, and this meant dropping many old habits. I have especially enjoyed using Berry Writing Group's approach to writing reader-friendly letters and memos. I consider this course to be a permanent part of our training."
"This course was well-received by our auditors, as evidenced by the average evaluation rating of 9.7 (out of possible 10) given by attendees. The course provided us with information and input which auditors were able to incorporate immediately to their writing."
"The biggest benefit your program gave us is practical, street knowledge that we were able to apply immediately. We don't even have to refer back to our notes; it's like it is now a part of us."
