WHAT ATTENDEES ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR TRAINING SESSIONS
Here are some excerpts from attendees' reviews of our training sessions:
- "Enthusiastic, dynamic and knowledgeable. [Jennifer's] legal background is extremely effective and beneficial perspective. It is also rare to have a high-level professional qualified instructor to deliver training like this. It was a great class! Thanks."
- "By far the best EEO class I have participated in. Jennifer has the ability to present this material in a humorous and brilliant fashion."
- "Jennifer, you lived up to your reputation as an outstanding presenter. As a 'seasoned' investigator, I found the material and presentation to be very helpful and immediately useful. This was a well-spent day."
- "Greg Valenza is an outstanding public speaker who can deftly juggle his subject under expertise with exceptional candidness, clarity of expression, and perhaps most importantly, humor. Forget labor law, become a stand-up comedian!"
- "Greg was a great instructor. He made a boring subject (although important!), entertaining and I did learn something."
- "Greg is a very effective teacher and used humor appropriately to drive home points. I would definitely take another of his classes."
- "[Geoff] was very knowledgeable and knows his audience."
- "[Geoff] has an obvious understanding of the material! It's good to have the view point of someone with experience from other departments."
- "Geoff's real world experience is invaluable."
- "I've been to many EEO training sessions and they can be very dry and long. [Alex's training] was interesting, fast paced and very informative."
- "I believe Alex is a better instructor because he has actual experience in this area."
- [Alex] is an excellent presenter and knows his material."
- "Best EEO class I've ever attended."
The following are excerpts taken from letters we've received from clients:
- "I really enjoyed the presentation, and I felt the audience was engaged the whole time (except for a few text messages). You have a very "user friendly" style, that, quite honestly, I have never seen in an attorney — and I have listened to many attorneys throughout my career. Your sense of humor and your sense of timing were outstanding, and really made a topic that can get bogged down at times flow easily. I heard many comments regarding how enjoyable the presentation was. Thank you again for an excellent presentation."

- "Jennifer is a fabulous speaker. She is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and entertaining. Her personable approach to training leaves attendees feeling educated without feeling lectured to. We eagerly look forward to each of her training sessions."
Karen Cohen, EEO Officer
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection
- "As you know, the vast majority of our staff are attorneys. It was very important to me to secure training services, which would maintain everyone's attention and interest while imparting the required information. Your exceptional presentation not only met but exceeded my goals. I also appreciate the support and assistance I had from your staff as we approached the training date. Please add us to the list of satisfied customers willing to serve as positive references for your anti-harassment and anti-discrimination training."
Linda C. Brown, Deputy Director
Office of Administrative Law
- "I have especially enjoyed the classes from the Shaw-Valenza group. Their seminars are always very informative and fun to be in. The booklets are easy to follow along and I have found myself referring to them once I returned to work. Ms. Shaw is a very personable speaker, with lots of energy and knowledge. I would take another seminar from her in a heartbeat.
Thanks for arranging these great training classes, which sure beats the old, dull, "I've got to sit through another training class" routine."
