KUDOS For Donna’s Linkedin Training
“Donna delivered a presentation about LinkedIn that really opened my eyes to what’s possible by using LinkedIn effectively. While expertly mixing clear, informative slides with real time demos, her crisp narrative showed an excellent ability to think on her feet and a genuine concern for giving her audience what they need most – the “why” and “how to” for professional networking with LinkedIn’s evolving technology.” May 2009
Vaughn Spurlin, Software Engineer
“Donna gave an outstanding Webinar on LinkedIn to the entire Five O’clock Club membership. Although already knowledgeable about LinkedIn, I personally learned a lot of new information from Donna’s webinar that would help me to use this network to reach my career goals. I heard similar feedback from other attendees as well. The success of Donna’s presentation rested not only on her knowledge of the material, but on her exceptional organization, delivery, use of live examples, and her great sense of humor! I think anyone seeking to effectively manage their career would benefit from Donna’s webinars. On another note, I’ve worked with Donna as a fellow career coach at the Five O’Clock Club,and have appreciated both her intelligence, expertise and generosity. I highly recommend Donna, and feel she would be an asset to any forum or organization.” May 2009
Robert Hellmann , VP, Associate Director of the Guild of Career Coaches, The Five O’Clock Club
“Donna delivered a clear, concise and practical Webinar outlining the value of LinkedIn for job search (and research!). Over 90 minutes, accompanied by helpful and thoughtful slides, Donna developed the steps required for LinkedIn use to be optimized. As a recruiter, I understood the logic of Donna’s presentation and appreciated the strength of a job seeker’s position if they added this tool to their armory. I have directed a number of my associates to Donna’s presentation available on LinkedIn. Several of these work solely in career transition and they have commented on the value of what they saw in Donna’s notes. I am based in Sydney, Australia. My comments reflect the thoughts of a recruiter with sixteen years’ experience in the Australian market.” Martin Shanahan BA LLB MBA , Partner, Geddes Parker &Partners Pty Ltd Australia, May 2009
“Donna enthralled and inspired the Connecticut Press Club with her demonstration on using LinkedIn for career advancement and new sources. She’s engaging and is a superb communicator. We got great feedback about her and the presentation she gave. We were lucky to have her and consider her one of our most memorable speakers.” Sherry Shameer Cohen, President, CT Press Club, February 2009
“Donna gave a very informative workshop at the Connecticut Press Club on how to use Linkedin to increase one’s professional visibility and connections on the web. She is knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend her to any professional group who wants to learn more about the benefits and the ins and outs of using Linkedin.com. She is an excellent speaker.”
Shelley Lowell Award-winning Illustrator, Freelance illustrator February 2009
“I want to recommend Donna as a linkedin trainer and coach. She did an excellent job at the ACP Forum explaining the ins and outs of Linkedin. Not only she is very knowledgeable about her subject matter, but she is an excellent presenter. She is also, generous with her time and knowledge.
