Today's workshop on Practical Goal Setting was well done and very comprehensive.  I liked the goal sheets Marshall provided, they were very specific.

Dave Milne, Sales Representative, John Crane Canada

 

Very informative, very personal.  Having a small group was great.  I learned the difference between a 'realistic goal' and one you believe you can achieve.  Marshall was great.  He is confident, as if he has been through it many times but not 'scripted' or 'generic'.

Paul Groulx, Sales Manager, Western Region, Tri-Lad

 

It was a great seminar. The seminar was well structured and very interesting. I always enjoy your seminars, not only for the great contents, but also because you make learning so easy by having a lot of audience participation going on. Goal setting is not one of the favorite things to do for a lot of us, or a lot of us do not know the most efficient and successful way do it and I am one of these people. I believe it was important to me to attend this seminar, which provided me with a lot of guidance and insight why to do it a certain way and if I do not do it that way why it is most likely to be unsuccessful or not as successful as it could and should be. As you mentioned, you can not write our goals for us, but you can provide us with the information and the tools to learn how to do it properly, which in return will enable us to be effective and successful. You certainly provided us with this. Thank you again for the opportunity to attend this seminar.
Thilo Biedermann, Area Manager, North America, Goetz Service GmbH
