What Attendees of our presentations are saying:
I really enjoyed your presentation today. I’m with the SMPS Seattle Chapter, and saw this program mentioned in one of our recent newsletters. I was very interested in the topic—interested enough that I joined the meeting today at 6:00 am Seattle time! Your talk opened my eyes to this way of presenting information and qualifications. I loved it!
You nailed it in the beginning…this one caught my eye and you delivered great value! Your knowledge and the content are really impressive and have me thinking about how we can continue to be more concise and visual in our presentation of information. Thank you!
Honestly this was the most effective and useful presentation I have attended through SMPS or any organization. Your goal was to make it useful, well you exceeded your own goal.
Thank you for telling us its okay to cut through boilerplate marketing language and approaches, it was so refreshing!
We have the A3 sample posted in our office. You offer wonderful inspiration.
The A3 format is so applicable to everything we as business development and marketing professionals do, that even if you’re not ready to implement it in its entirety you can take pieces of it and elevate your current marketing materials and proposal presence to another level.
You were relatable and well spoken, I loved the personal anecdotes. I came back excited to share this with the principals of my firm and start building buy-in.
Just wanted to take a moment to tell you how well you did yesterday! As usual you were a dynamic and capable presenter.
I thought the presentation was great! The examples were super helpful! We’ve been wanting to use A3s as presentation leave behinds, so this was super helpful to learn tricks on how to condense content.
I’m new to this field so was enthralled with the lean principles of A3 thinking. I was intrigued by the placemat format, definitely a plus. I had not seen that before and absolutely see its value. The way you executed the project profiles was also a great shift in my thinking. Thanks for taking the time to share your vision. Loved it!
Thank you for your amazing presentation. I’m really excited to share some of these concepts with the rest of our team. We’ve recently started seeing requests for A3s and it’s been a topic of conversation in the marketing team. …
Plus – I love how concise your information was, and the examples that were included in the presentation.
Delta – It’s hard to think of one.
I have to say that was the most rewarding professional workshop I think I’ve ever attended. Ann was such a great presenter and this method is so fascinating.
