Participants, having attended one of more of the MBA
Impact workshops,
had this to say after the session:
"For non-finance managers, MBA Impact: Essentials is
powerful, concise, informative and necessary. Bracher
and Mank are outstanding instructors with well organized
materials presented in an exciting and engaging style.
Positive leadership concepts are interwoven with
essential business tools. One of the best days I've
ever spent in my own professional development."
-- Robert W. Coon,
Vice President, Menlo Worldwide, San Mateo, California.
"The MBA Impact: Essentials Workshop
was a very well spent day! The combination of both
practical and thought provoking information regarding
business management will be used on a daily basis
in my position as Controller of Joullian Vineyards.
Thank you for the invitation to join you in the inaugural
event. I will personally recommend the upcoming July
11 workshop to others very highly. Much success in
the future MBA Impact events!"
-- Robert H. Fain Jr.,
Controller, Joullian Vineyards, Carmel, California.
"I attended your MBA Impact seminar last week and
while I am a long time CEO I enjoyed the day very
much and took away a number of things with me that
I feel will be of significant value. I am looking
forward to getting other of my staff members enrolled
to go through this course as I can see when they
will surely benefit. The section on Finance stood
out in my mind as a wonderful tool for those without
accounting backgrounds but with bottom line responsibility
to aid them in understanding basic accounting valuations
and ratios. I think this is the best I have seen
on this subject. Great job and continue the good
work."
-- L. Cade Havard,
Chairman, CEO, Ecom PPO.Com, Inc., Dallas, Texas.
"The MBA Impact: Essentials workshop provided our
family business a multi-generation set of tools to
sustain values, support teamwork and communication
while adding to our skills in marketing, finance,
strategy, production, hiring and legal. Our three
generation's of attendees from Mills Family Farms
walked away informed and inspired and we are able
to implement what we learned immediately."
-- Basil E. Mills,
President, Mills Family Farms, Salinas, California.
"I would like to congratulate you and Dr.
Mank on providing an exceptional one day management
seminar. The MBA Essentials truly did hit the essentials
that will assist managers in the important aspects
of effective business management. It was refreshing
to attend a seminar / workshop that wasn't touchy
feely but concise, relevant, and on point. A day
well spent."
-- Kevin R. Saunders, Executive
Director, California State University Monterey Bay -
Auxiliary Corporations, Seaside, California.
"Thank you for providing
such an excellent overview of the essentials of business
in such a gorgeous site. It helped clarify several
of my objectives and provided insight into the direction
for the future. I look forward to participating in
some of the more advanced seminars."
-- Gary Stowe, Owner, Stowe
Contracting, Marina, California.
