WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION EXPERT DAN O'CONNOR

Professional communication training online--

 Thank you for making such a positive difference in this world and for helping me handle an extraordinarily difficult boss.

Communication Skills and Professional Development Skills Training Online 

Dan's training is unique to him--is immediately applicable and effective--and is presented in his inimitable authentic, entertaining style.

Hi Jean…On a four hour drive yesterday, I had a lovely opportunity to be listening to Dan's programme - "Step out of the Shadows." My listening was accompanied by a continuing sense of gratitude for finding Dan's materials. I find it hard to put words on why. The nearest is that it's like finding water in a desert! His material makes perfect sense to me. I know when I listen to it - that Dan's approach is how I would wish to respond and, in my experience, it fits perfectly in an Irish context too.  Anytime I have used Dan's suggestions - they work, like a dream! Thanks to Dan (and these resources are unique to Dan, in my experience), finding exactly the words I need is such an empowering and peace-giving experience. And, as a bonus, Dan’s sparkling authenticity and uniquely witty presentation cheer me every time.

SAMPLING OF TESTIMONIALS FROM THOSE WHO HAVE HIRED DAN, AND FROM THOSE WHO ATTENDED HIS  COMMUNICATION SKILLS, DIFFICULT PEOPLE, AND CUSTOMER SERVICE TRAINING ONSITE

Dan provided one of the most powerful trainings to date; Dealing with Difficult
People. Dan is energetic, enthusiastic and very effective in engaging his audience.
No one left the room without gaining some knowledge and Dan’s remarkable sense
of humor kept his captive audience laughing and entertained. I jump at any
opportunity to participate in one of Dan’s seminars, you learn so much without even
realizing it. Dan is a master of opening people’s minds to seeing the benefits of the
use of language to better deal with real life situations at work and at home. The most
common consensus of the Administrative Staff after attending one of Dan’s
seminars was how much stress they felt was lifted that day, now that’s
POWERFUL!

• Over the past five years, I have greatly benefited from the training courses I’ve
taken with Dan O’Conner through his company, Power Diversity. Dan is extremely
engaging, funny, and uniquely effective in his training style. Not only does Dan
teach the information, but he trains the participants so that they leave the class
excited and ready to practice their newly learned skills. Dan’s training style is so
successful and entertaining that on multiple occasions I’ve had him train my entire
staff during annual Division retreats and workshops...money well spent.

• Hi Dan. I attended your class on Advanced Communication Tactics for Leaders last
week. Your approach to teaching is refreshing and was very enjoyable. You made us
laugh but you also made us think. At least...you made me think. I’m convinced
you’d do well on the Standup Comic circuit because you have the ability to tell
stories, lay out a scenario and get people to relate–not to mention you are just plan
funny and fun!
~ Vi Michaelis
Electrical Engineer, Loveland, CO

• The seminar was very informative and it provided many tactics which will improve
my communication habits. I feel the seminar is very helpful. I felt the tactics
provided will increase my communication skills. I found I was using the techniques before the seminar was over.

• It has been not only very informative, but also very entertaining, which makes
sitting in a seminar all day fun! I have really enjoyed this seminar. The examples
were great and I appreciated the opportunity to discuss specific situations. Dan
presented a wide variety of communication skills that can be used both
professionally and personally. This is the first seminar I can say I have thoroughly
enjoyed from beginning to end and am walking away with more power than I had
before. I was disappointed when the seminar ended.
