I have already attended a seminar with this instructor. His anecdotes were charming the first time around, however the same stories, quotes, and ideas were stale the second time around. I was hoping for new information. The third day was almost a complete waste of time. I don't feel that I received good value for the cost.

Awesome class in a very nice city. Enjoyed my experience.

Patricia is a top level instructor. Not only did Patricia keep us engaged, she was very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions by sharing her own life experiences. The insight she gave with regards to persuading, influencing, and negotiating was very valuable. The personal styles portion of this seminar provided me tips with dealing with relationships in both my professional and personal life that I will use for years to come.

The course material was timely and presented very well

Great course for learning the basic building blocks of Persuasion and Negotiations...

I really loved the experience. Our group was small enough to bond and work together and our instructor, Karen was truly excellent. She was able to understand our individual challenges, and guide the curriculum accordingly. Even when something wasn't relevant to an individual, she was able to make it relate-able.

Many of the struggles my colleagues faced in the discussion were not similar to my scenario. So, that was the only negative (and the only reason it wasn't 5 stars). I still got a lot of information from it, that I believe I will be able to use within my organization to help others (and myself as well).

I am disappointed with AMA for booking at a hotel where the sleeping rooms were sold out already.

Excellent seminar.

I think your seminar was very informative and proof that even at 61 there are things that I can still learn. Jaye was an excellent instructor and I would recommend her to anyonw.

This was an exceptional seminar; I used a current work situation as the case study called for during the seminar and worked out a best approach to the situation and got lots of valuable feedback both from the instructor and my classmates. The instructor was excellent: engaging, knowledgeable, respectful, challenging, personable and professional. I thoroughly enjoyed the seminar, have applied its concepts at work already, and expect to continue to do so for the forseeable future. Thank you!

I enjoyed the Getting Results Without Authority seminar, and feel that I was able to take away pertinent information to better influencing others who are not under my authority. I feel the small group atmosophere was critical in the results I received within this workshop.

Good information and tools.

I think the class was extrodinary and the instructor was well versed in the material and was able to add more to provided material and answer questions with such indepth knowledge. Really enjoyed the course alot.

Excellent content. The class size allowed for discussion and feedback throughout the course. I was able to immediately use the information and several techniques provided.

Our class was small enough for us to really have a lot of idea exchange. Our instructor is very well versed on the subject matter. He also promotes open discussions, which are very useful, these discussions are about our work environment and the various situations we encounter. I can think if several people in my organization that could benefit from this training sessions. In my particular case, we have great people, but we certainly need to influence them in a more positive fashion, so as to develop a more cooperative and task oriented philosophy.

The seminar offered practical suggestion to everyday challenges in dealing with peers, superiors and customers. The instructor managed to facilitate a lively discussion of ideas among the participants. He was also on point in offering soft skill wisdoms gained through a life time of teaching and management experience.

The seminar was excellent as well as the instructor. Mary did a wonderful job covering all the areas. This is a course others should find time to take.

The instructor, Michael made this course. The materials were helpful and insightful, but his knowledge, personality and expertise made the course what it was. The pre-course assessment made the course seem very difficult and unapproachable. After I took the pre test I was very nervous for the class and had no idea what to expect. In reality, the course was very approachable but the pre test did not make it seem that way. The post test I found valuable and I think the continued learning courses will be as well.

Enjoyed the seminar and got alot out of it. Much better than I anticipated. Moderator did an excellent job of presenting materials and keeping the seminar moving along.

The seminar talked mainly about knowing your audience and making persuasive speeches. This is not the kind of information I was looking for when signing up for this topic. There are many instances when you need to get results and the situation has nothing to do with presentations. A colleague of mine took the class last month and did not have any presentations to give, while we had both a 3 min and 5 min presentation mandatory. I would have liked to have some other format such as role playing in groups to discuss work-related issues and other techniques for getting results besides being persuasive. This class should have been called 'The Art of Persuasion'... not 'Getting Results Without Authority'. I think this was a serious mismanagement of my time and my company's funds.

The instructor , Michael Kmeck, did a wonderful job of tying together all the factors involved in getting results when you are without the authority to compel compliance. He had just the proper mix of expertise and humor to make the seminar an educational as well as entertaining experience. Three cheers for Mike!!!

Really enjoyed the seminar. The instructor was very knowledgable on the subject and kept the entire group engaged.

Instructor was good. He was knowledgable and provided a good perspective on the subject. Room was hot. Exercise at end was fun. Integration of the personality types was good to help change perspective that people are all different and we need to embrace differences.
