"Cindy and Steve,

Thank you both for your brave, conference-highlight podcast creation session at the Ragan conference earlier this month. I was in your audience, and your demo and encouragement pushed me over the ledge (that doesn't sound good but you know what I mean) after I got back to work.

Although I have usually been an early adopter of new technology among my 50-plus age group, I have been lurking on the outskirts of podcasting, trying to come up with a master plan for how to create one, launch one, get it approved, etc., in my organization's culture. Then somehow your session convinced me to just come back home, get the few tools you referenced, and dive in. So I did, and it worked"

Anyway, thank you. My bosses are even more convinced now that I was their wisest hiring decision ever.

Best wishes in your own work.

I have seen Steve speak several times, and he always is so funny and informative. I describe his sessions like doing a mini Corporate Communication MBA with a Jon Stewart Daily Show twist.

Steve Crescenzo is a powerhouse! The workshop was hard-hitting, relevant, and to-the-point.

The surveys and focus groups that Cindy Crescenzo conducted for us provided valuable customer information and clear direction for our organization's communications plan. Cindy led the team from the start, guiding us through question and survey design, survey administration, analysis and follow up. Cindy was extremely organized, flexible and she gave us great suggestions to improve every aspect of the research we conducted. Probably the thing that impressed me the most was how quickly Cindy got up to speed with our business operations. She clearly spent time getting to know what we do, what is important to us and what is important to our customers. In the end, the research analysis Cindy delivered to us was (and still is) an invaluable tool that helps us make important business decisions for our organization.

"I love how Steve and Cindy packed two days worth of information into one day. While it was a lot to take in, they made it fun and easy to digest. The tools are fantastic! Best workshop materials ever! It's so valuable to walk away from this workshop with not only the knowledge and also these tools, especially when the boss asks, 'So, what did you get out of the workshop?"

Steve’s style and stories were far more engaging and interesting to me than any other professional training class I have taken in a long time. He is able to directly apply realistic ways to be more creative in the corporate world.”

" This was a spectacular program.  The content was spot-on. I walked away with a practitioner's graduate degree in everything from research to creative to measurement. This seminar was worth the four-hour drive to and from D.C. in the rain -- I would enroll again in a heartbeat just to hear more from Steve and Cindy."
