“… undeniably one of the best Project Management instructors I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Her years of practical PM experience give her a thorough understanding of the PM tools and techniques, but the time and attention she pays to ensuring the student understanding of the material and the concepts is just remarkable, going far beyond the average effort. She consistently delivers on-the-mark and on-time. Just as important is her ability to integrate her significant experience with understanding and coping with everyday issues. Most PM courses teach the student how to do something with a tool, but do not effectively communicate when to do it, and rarely offer insight into how to choose between multiple options in tough situations. Elaine’s practical and extensive approach to examining real-world situations and offering real-world options is invaluable in enabling the student to mastering the “Art” AND the “Application” of project management.

“Elaine is hands-down one of the top project management (PM) experts in the world today. I have worked with and for Elaine over the course of the past half decade. In 2006 my company hired Elaine and her team to implement an enterprise project management (EPM) software system and PM methodology, train our team, and support us. It was then I saw Elaine’s skill in action. Not only is she personable, but her expertise and willingness to buckle down and get the job done — even if it meant doing the “grunt work” — proved invaluable to the successful completion of our project. More recently, as a contracted employee of hers at {Xcompany}, I had the opportunity to meet people all across the country who knew Elaine as one of the foremost experts in the PM industry and hailed her as the best trainer they ever had. I couldn’t agree more. Elaine is uniquely qualified to succeed in whatever she decides to do. Simply put, she’s an invaluable asset to any company.”
