| "Within
any organization, conflict
is present in a variety
of ways. Whether the conflict
is positive or negative
most people are uncomfortable
handling on their own.
Without question, Synergy
Development & Training
has developed programs
and useful tools that
have helped us make an
immediate impact to make
conflict a productive
interaction between individuals.
Each year they have consistently
delivered innovative,
passionate, and actionable
skills that support our
drive toward excellence
and help our staff members
develop competencies throughout
the organization. Managers
and employees leave each
class energized and viewing
conflict more as an opportunity
to minimize concerns and
less as an excuse or risk
to avoid something. I
offer my highest recommendation
for Synergy Development
and Training to develop
and deliver your Conflict
Resolution coursework!"

| "Dave
Gerber’s passionate
delivery and relevant
information resonated
with me, as it did for
nearly 100 others in attendance
at his recent “On
Fire Leadership”
seminar at the Washington
DC PMI Chapter. His high
energy, effective and
memorable use of humor
and certainly, the exceptional
content of his presentation
made for a most impressive
training experience. He
understands the world
of work, and more specifically,
the world of project management.
His integration of fresh
approaches to success
within the context of
projects will prove most
useful to me immediately
and in the future. I was
so impressed with our
training day that I am
looking forward to hiring
Dave for two events of
my own in 2009!" |

selected Dave Gerber to
be the keynote speaker
at the opening general
session of the National
League of Cities (NLC)
2007 State League Staff
Workshop, which is an
annual 2 1/2 day program
sponsored by NLC for the
staffs of state municipal
leagues around the country.
I am glad that I asked
Dave to be the keynote
because he was passionate
and engaging and did a
very good job of connecting
with the audience. I received
a lot of positive feedback
onsite about Dave's presentation,
with several meeting attendees
telling me that he knew
his subject well, and
that they learned a lot
about team building and
conflict resolution. I
would recommend Dave Gerber
to any organization!" |
