Tiffany Quivers, Principal, Founder The Education Initiative

This was our first time working with a training consultant and we weren't sure what to expect. Karen was quick to ease our concerns. She was well-organized from the start, sending us a detailed project plan with milestones to show us how long it would take to complete each phase of the project. Further, Karen and her team worked hard to ensure they had complete, accurate and current information about the project, since it evolved throughout the time we worked together. I have already recommended Karen's services to others in my organization and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to colleagues outside of my employer. I look forward to working with Karen on future projects.
