M. TobinKeurig Green MountainI think you should know that you have inspired others to become trainers and see the classroom as a launching pad for growth. I count myself in that group of people. You have made it look relatively easy and your classes are so positive and fun. Of course, I now know that it is much harder than it looks, but with a passion for what you are doing, it all falls into place naturally! Thanks for showing the way and helping me find a new path that is so fulfilling.
Leslie is extremely skilled at letting classmates have discussion and still bring everyone back to topic. She was very professional and diplomatic about using our limited time to its full potential.Deanna P.
I’m blessed to have the opportunity to attend this training. I had a chance to express thoughts and opinions and I cannot depart without saying ‘thank you’ to Leslie Schreiber.Millie Tanedo, GMCR, Knoxville TN
I feel like I am learning a lot and Leslie is great! She just walks in and within minutes she had everyone comfortable. My goodness, she even had us singing…I still can’t believe that one!Suzie T.
I see Leslie as a positive influence as well as an instructor who is competent and passionate in the field of communications. I can tell when someone really enjoys the work they do, and the positive attitude that comes with that is usually contagious. I feel that Leslie has set up the classroom environment in a comfortable fashion.Gewel Kofka, Community College of Vermont
This course has been one of the best series for building/fostering teamwork I’ve taken in my 14 years at GMCR.Peter B.
M. TobinKeurig Green MountainYou know, you ARE one fantastic trainer! It isn’t often I see people as excited about a learning session as when they know you are the one who is teaching/sharing. Most people come back having had an experience that inspires or motivates them to be better in what they do or the skill they learned!
Two of my employees were having a difficult time communicating. After taking the 101 and 201 courses, they were able to find common ground and move beyond their differences. This impacted their productivity and the overall morale of the shift.George Aube, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Waterbury, VT
I learned that communication skills are not as easy as they seem. But in this class, I have learned a tremendous amount of skill to use and practice that I feel have already improved my work environment.Anonymous
Wow! Meaningful activities. Very useful for both home and at work.Jennifer S.
