Of the participants who evaluated this seminar, 96% would recommend it to a colleague. Some of their comments:
"Great analysis of the case studies presented. I'm fairly new to this stuff and would have been tempted to load up on stats and industry jargon due to my technical background. Thanks for the tips."
"Really found it worthwhile and enjoyable. Gail was very well prepared and did an excellent job."
"There's more to writing a good case study than you might think - this seminar gives some great tips on how to sell with a story, not the hype."
"Gail is obviously an expert in case studies and on top of that is articulate and a wonderful presenter who puts all the elements of a great presentation together to deliver content expeditiously and with heart. This was a tremendous seminar."
"This seminar gave me precise and practical processes that I can start using right now. In fact, I have two case study interviews this afternoon and will incorporate what I learned today. I know I'll have much better source material now when I go to write these stories."
"She captures perfectly the 'story' aspect of case studies -- making them compelling, twists and turns, client centric, etc. Excellent overview of what a case study should be and what it should not be."
"This is easily transferable and the skills/learnings here can be applied to any industry."
"I feel that I have a pretty good grasp on case studies, their purpose and how to present them, but Gail gave me some great suggestions and considerations that I hadn't thought of previously. I'm going to use them to improve my new and my existing studies."
"Excellent speaker. Fast moving, spot on content that I could really wrap my mind around."
