Testimonials

"Susan Warren is one of the most upbeat presenters that I have ever met. Susan exudes excitement and she always makes learning fun. Given her ample experience as a manager and a leader, she excels at helping others understand how to apply new ideas and concepts into their work roles. I have observed Susan present her research at several international conferences -- she is highly skilled at communicating across cultures. She has the rare ability to be able to interpret research and complex ideas, and then explain these concept so others can use them in practice. She is very down-to-earth and she can relate to people from all walks of life."

"Working with Susan over the years, I have observed her presentation skills and feel that the information she provides her audience is exceptional.

As Post Office Operations Manager (POOM) for the Central Illinois District for five years and overseeing 935 employees with a $66 Million dollar budget, I often requested Susan to conduct seminars with Postmasters in my area. These seminars included providing the Postmasters with identifying goals they wanted to achieve and then dissecting a step by step process to attain those goals. Susan was given the responsibility of improving employee opinions and concerns for the entire district (which was approximately 12,000 employees). These improvements were achieved, first by providing detailed information to those responsible for the employees environment. Secondly, once the information was shared with responsible managers, it provided them with a "blue print", so to speak, of where to begin their improvements. Which ranged anywhere from cosmetic improvements within the postmasters individual offices, to identifying specific managers who may or may not be conducive to a healthy operation.

Susan often provided one on one coaching on many occassions to specific individuals identified by me when deemed appropriate. Susan would set schedules and agenda items based the data generated by the individual office. Susan would then provide graphs of the information to be tracked and reviewed by all of the staff. This information was extremely helpful to the managers in identifying where they needed to focus their attention.

Susan's assistance resulted in my Area moving from last place within the District to within the top three areas within the District. Her skills are exemplary."

"I have known Susan through my work in NAPS for 23 years at all levels of the NAPS organization. Susan always displayed a positive attitude that was contagious with everyone she worked with. She always took the time to listen to members and provide them with guidance, support or a shoulder to lean on. Susan was a leader in NAPS at a time when women did not hold high level positions in our organization. Susan has been an outstanding role model for women in our organization and continues to support the NAPS organization even though she has retired from the Postal Service."

"As a member of the Illinois Branch of the National League of Postmasters, I have had the pleasure of being in attendance at several of Susan Warren's presentations during our state conventions. One of the subjects that Susan was tasked with addressing at numerous meetings was the Voice of the Employee survey. Our company was experiencing low scores in employee approval and wanted to change that. This could have been a very dry subject, but Susan was able to present it in a way that was entertaining as well as informative. We have also been able to call on Susan to be the master of ceremonies at our banquets. Her sense of humor and her infectious laugh is loved by all who hear her."

Patti Sadnick State President National League of Postmasters

"I have known Susan Warren since the early 80s when she was Training Manager at the Peoria Post Office. Having both participated as a student, and in recent years as a co-facilitator when she was involved as Team Leader in our 7-Habits of Highly Effective People training sessions, and later as Coordinator for our VOE (Voice of Employee) survey initiatives, Ms Warren has been a role model for what can only be defined as "Superior Trainer and Accomplished Leader."

She is intelligent, enthusiastic, hard working, loyal, and committed to doing whatever she can to ensure course objectives and learning principles are accomplished within preset timeframes. An admirable talent of her class preparation and presentation is her ability to think outside-the-box, and be uniquely creative through visual, verbal, and vocal expressions which clearly communicates the training message to every audience on the receiving end. When students leave her class, they are not only educated in the material they needed to learn, but are revitalized with renewed strength and purpose to meet whatever challenges may confront them.

It has been a distinct privilege to have known and worked with Susan throughout the many years I've known her, and her upbeat, positive spin on encouraging others to do whatever it takes - has been an inspiration to all who have had the opportunity to participate in her sessions. Her determined sense of purpose - coupled with an inherent ability to captivate an audience - has energized all class participants with the "can do" attitude she originally hoped to instill. I have every confidence that Susan Warren will be successful at whatever goals she sets her sights on accomplishing."

"Susan Warren and I co-facilitated a forty hour Career Counseling sessions at the Postal Service Training Center at Oakbrook, IL for a four year period. Susan was a superb instructor.
