What people said about Essential Skills for Technical Professionals:

 

"Great handouts and worksheets.  Touched on many important aspects.  I learned how to open up with other people and how to help others to open up and get involved."

 

"Lots of good information about areas where I need to improve, broken down so I can concentrate on specific tasks."

 

          - David Billings, Process Engineer, Chromalloy San Diego

 

"This seminar is great!  It teaches about topics that would require years of experience on my own to find out. The seminar provided different ideas and perspectives about how to become a better engineer. Case studies as examples are good.  I now see the big picture about why it's important to have soft skills."

 

          - Hung Wang, Member Technical Staff, Asymtek
