“Tiffany is an experienced facilitator who takes the client’s needs seriously and delivers the required outcomes on schedule.”

Tommie van der Walt, Newmont Mining

“The things as particularly effective include:

  • Your demonstrated depth and breadth of knowledge about the subject matter
  • Your ability to keep participants engaged; the activities were appropriate and useful in beginning to apply the skills and concepts. The group was discussing actual projects contrived case studies
  • Training materials that were thorough and potentially useful as aids even after training
  • The pace of training –you read the audience and maintained a pace that was not too fast, not too slow”

“I have had a few more hours to reflect on yesterday’s retreat and want to convey to you what a powerful and successful event it was for me and from what I saw and heard, everyone involved. One of the major benefits that I have already witnessed is the more cohesive behavior, acceptance and commitment expressed from and to the “new” Faris employees from the acquired companies. Although the integration of the two new companies has gone well, we have reached a new level of engagement as a result of our retreat yesterday. I look forward to our next encounter.”

Giles Poulson_FarisGiles Poulson, Faris

“The training is already generating value, especially with our more junior staff. Simple concepts like SMART goals and our discussion regarding the importance of defining “roles and responsibilities” are already bearing fruit. We still have some hard work ahead of us, but it’s encouraging to see positive results from the first training session almost immediately.”

David Mohrbacher_EORIDavid Mohrbacher, EORI

“I am always impressed by others who are dedicated to excellence. Excellence would certainly best describe Tiffany and her ability to teach others the philosophies of program/project management. I found her depth of real world experience, along with her expertise in the subject matter to be very effective. I would highly recommend Tiffany to any company who would be interested in utilizing her skills to perform on sight training in this field, or as an expert consultant to assist them in leading a team to the identification of a problem within their company our even provide techniques to reach the same conclusion.”

Clients walk away with an implementable project management plan and receive hands’ on instruction on every phase of the PMBOK. From 1-day Project Management overview classes to full PMP prep workshops, Tiffany provides accessible, effective instruction and consulting on this critical topic, which translates into immediate bottom line results.”

“I have had the great privilege of working with and being educated by, Tiffany over the past two years. She has facilitated many very important meetings for Newmont and has always delivered an outstanding product. She brought a new dimension and some unique perspectives in how projects are planned and managed from the beginning. I also recently took her Comprehensive Project Management Course and I was extremely happy with the content and its pragmatism as well as its tangibility. Tiffany took the complexity of Project Management and simplified it greatly by providing a real and useful toolbox for project managers. I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend her services and courses.”

“Your class helped to break down the complexity and make it seem less overwhelming. Your class helped increase my confidence in taking the PMP test.  Thanks for showing me that it will be worth my effort to get my PMP and that I can accomplish it with additional studying. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and helping in my journey of trying to regain my professional life back!”

Barb Lobermeier

“I’m glad to tell you that I passed the PMP exam today. It is certainly no exaggeration that it is a very challenging test. Four hours of tough questions is brutal. I can’t really offer any advice beyond “listen to Tiffany.” She was spot on with her advice. Make sure you review the PMBOK and Rita in tandem. One week is not enough time to cover the huge amount of material, and there were many questions that required that you read the PMBOK.”

Mike Jefferies

“I just wanted to let you know that I passed the PMP exam this morning! Whew! It was really hard…even after all the studying I did. I honestly don’t think I would have been able to do it without your class. You really helped me a lot – so Thank You!”

Deb Hendrickson

“I’m actually managing the engineering effort on the LARGEST project our company has at the moment – a large refrigeration gas plant to be built in ND.  Very excited to have come so far and I use most of the tools I learned in the PM class. Thanks again!”

Chris Olson, Ross Engineering

“I recently attended a Business Analysis Fundamentals class taught by Tiffany. She was an excellent instructor! It was quite clear that she not only knew the material but had real-life experiences to draw from. She was able to give many examples of ways to do things – and not do things – based on her experience! She was also very engaging and kept the pace at a great tempo for adult learners! No one was falling asleep!!!”

Lori Lister

“Tiffany is an excellent instructor and makes everyone in her class feel at ease. She is excellent at making the class understandable to everyone involved so that the learning process in fun and enjoyable.”
