Testiminals from organizations

"...Sylvia offered a series of workshops targeting cover letter, resume, and interviewing skills for Green Corps organizers at our main office in Denver. The workshops were interactive, thorough, and tailored for our specific needs. Her technique is to concentrate on specific areas of difficulty and offer easy-to-remember formulas as well as insider tips distilled from her extensive experience. Our organizers learned an incredible amount in the time Sylvia spent with them... I can't recommend Sylvia more highly for her passion, dedication, and expertise in professional development for good, and hope that she will join us again at future trainings."

-Annie Sanders, Executive Director Green Corps, Denver.
