Great Moderating

Just wanted to drop a line and thank you for the great job moderating the SAO breakfast. Probably the best intro and moderating I’ve seen in a while. You know the art of short and effective introductions isn’t as easy as most people think, but it is very easy to do a poor job.

Jim Kindred, Information Technology Manager

Northwest Pipe

Most Informative

Thank you very much for the great job. Your introduction of the panel and moderation was to the point and most informative.

Hadi Asgharzadeh

New Record

I did, however, look at the survey responses and you set a new record, as I understand it, for the best over-all presentation in a long, long while. You are such a pro!

Challenging and Fun

Thanks for a very well done course at OCF! It was alternately challenging and fun, sometimes both, and I think it will be useful to a lot of us moving forward.

Jeff Anderson, Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer

THE OREGON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

Amazing Mentor and Consultant

Jeff is an amazing mentor and consultant. He has moved my understanding of project management light-years ahead of where it was when we started. Everything from people skills to documentation to managing the iron triangle of schedule, scope and resources with grace and consistency – he has helped me up my game and succeed where my projects might otherwise have foundered.

Portfolio Management

I perceive the OGI class (you more specifically) added value to my current level of understanding “portfolio” management and further appreciate the CD of tools which I’ve both shared and routed to the project/program management team … Thank you for offering a quality (and much needed) course with direct application. We are fortunate to have such talent in PDX.

Louise Hoppes, Project Manager, IT Enterprise Program Management

Portland General Electric

Clear Understanding

Jeff encouraged us to think outside the box when it came to defining project management … The biggest benefit of our project management initiative is that we have an understanding of whats going on in the center. The senior management team has a clear idea of what the projects are and how they are doing.

Amy Johnson, Managing Director

Great Class

Great class! I plan to use 90+% of the material and expect success!

Made Me Look Good!

Thanks for the dynamic and interactive Zoom workshop that left participants wanting to keep talking!! Your careful attention to anticipate needs and give them an experience made all the difference. Your ability to assess the group’s vibe to then pivot and restructure was perfect and really capitalized on the expertise in the room. You made me look good too! : )
