Shirley

This is the first workshop I've attended that makes me hungry for more. Excellent work, Shirley!
- Angela Tan, Accounts Supervisor, Prudential Assurance Co (Singapore)

The workshop exceeded my expectations. The feedback from the staff who attended the workshop is all positive. It provided useful tips on how to deal with difficult callers. The workshop was interactive and we now have a better understanding of the challenges our staff encounter.
Thank you for the workshop which was tailored to meet our needs. It was a Saturday well spent.

- Chang Bee Wah, Senior Manager, Claims, Aviva General Insurance Pte Ltd, Singapore
(Bee Wah was talking about the one-day workshop on telephone communication skills that was specially customised for Aviva GI)

Yesterday's session was superb, right from the time I announced there would be a lucky draw till the time when a long queue formed where participants waited patiently to buy your books. Without a doubt, I believe the participants have truly enjoyed themselves and benefited from your intellectual insights and stimulating lectures.
- Irwan Jamil, Civil Service College, Singapore

Hi Shirley
I thoroughly enjoyed myself at your workshop and, of course, have learned many things from you. I will use what I have learned in my letters and emails. In this way, my communication with my customers and colleagues will be more concise and clear.
I will definitely visit your website more frequently so that I can read any new articles you may post in the future.
Meanwhile, I wish you success in all your future seminars/workshops.

We enjoyed your half-day workshop very much. It was a very good time of learning from you - thanks for making it so lively!

It was worth waking up early on a Saturday morning!

Shirley is very enthusiastic about her work. She makes sure that everyone participates in the class and has no hesitation in volunteering their answers. One thing I like is that she controls her sessions well - she does not sacrifice the course content with irrelevant stories.
- Yeo Li Li, Relationship Manager, Human Capital Development, The Great Eastern Life Assurance Company Limited, Singapore

Shirley, I truly enjoyed your workshop and found you one of the most engaging trainers I have come across.
- Hah Lee Nah, GIC Special Investments Pte Ltd, Singapore

I just have to tell you how impressed I was with you when I attended the 2 days course on "Power Up Your Business Writing Skills". I have attended many courses for the last 5 years. Very often, these courses were dull and uninteresting. In order to relieve the boredom, I would end up reading comics or stories books in those classes.
It was different with your lecture. The class was filled with laughter and everyone was eager to participate actively.
Shirley, you are such an interesting teacher.

- Mark Richman, Senior Consultant at the Prime Minister's Office, InfoComm Development Authority of Singapore (iDA)

Just a note to say a big thank you for the exciting in-house workshop that our Golden Village team attended!
I can spot the change in their writing style already!

- Irene Tan, Training Manager, Golden Village Multiplex Pte Ltd, Singapore

Shirley conducted a successful pilot recently for 19 staff from StarHub. The subject is "dry" by nature, but Shirley has made it come alive! She is full of zest, passion and energy. More importantly, the approach taken is totally engaging, with plenty of practical exercises in class. We also had a pre- and post-test for the class to assess the learning effectiveness, and the results were very positive.
- Amy Leong, People Development Manager, StarHub Pte Ltd, Singapore

I can't think of any speaker who is more qualified and exciting than Shirley Taylor.
- Brian Lee Wee Pin, Senior Sales Engineer, Epson Singapore Pte Ltd

It was great working with you. I definitely enjoyed myself thoroughly at the workshop. Once again, thanks very much for the lovely workshop.
- Chin Yean Fern, Regional HR Manager, Sears Buying Services Inc

I have attended quite a number of workshops and seminars, but yours is exceptionally different. You started off well with a very good ice-breaking technique. Within minutes you captured everyone's attention, and our workshop became lively and filled with laughter. One more special thing is your background music. You are the only speaker I have met so far who really puts in thought to create the right atmosphere with soothing background music, so that it could inspire the participants to work well on the exercises. Once again, I have to say that I really enjoyed this workshop!
- Ivan Ho, Assistant General Manager, Administration, Singapore Dai-Ichi Pte Ltd, Singapore

Shirley is simply good. You would not want to miss it! Well done!
