Richmond Power & Light hired Kristen Shingleton Deutsch to provide Management Training for management staff in 2008. When our staff heard about the training, we heard the usual complaints about “Another Boring Training”, “A waste of our time”, etc. Then after a couple of Kristen’s training sessions, we started hearing…
- “Kristen is a great presenter”
- “Great High Energy Presentations”
- “She has a great way of holding your interest”
- “Wonderful presentations and Great Examples”
The training that Kristen provided RP&L was so well received, that our management team today continues to refer to Kristen’s material and examples when situations arise.
