"Hi Sheida - Thank you for your excellent presentation at the International Trademark Association Conference in Berlin. I received numerous compliments, one after the other; about your topic and your presentation style…all wonderful compliments, of course. I do wish we had more time for you to talk, but you did an excellent job in such a short time period. You definitely covered everything we’d discussed."
All my best, Rhonda Hetman
Circle R. Trademark Services

"I engaged Sheida to provide targeted cultural training to our customer-facing personnel. She did an incredible job, researching our company and needs in order to customize a presentation that maximized our education in a compressed timeframe. She was engaging, insightful, thorough, and thought-provoking. I would highly recommend her services to any organization that is challenged in working with culturally diverse customers or team members."

"I will strongly recommend you as a presenter and consultant. You are a spark! of personality and a well-spring of practical information when it comes to globalization and its effect on companies, their strategy to obtain new customers and penetrate new markets, and specifically your poignant insights and techniques with regard to "intercultural preparedness" for executives, managers, and their families, not just before departure but more importantly while on the assignment. Thank you for presenting at my conferences."
Edwin Cohen,
Editor and Publisher, GLOBAL HR, BOUND4 NewsWire

"I just mailed a more formal “thank you” to you but I want you and Greg to know what a “hit” your presentation was. The feedback I received used words such as “dynamic, outstanding, incredible and first-rate.” Everyone agreed that you focused your presentation to meld perfectly with the theme of the conference. If there was a complaint it was that people wished the workshop was even longer than one hour – a complaint I’ll take any day!
I think we presented an important program – one that people are still talking about. Many thanks again, Sheida. Your participation helped to ensure that our conference was a big success!"
Judi Schillaci,
Executive Director, Hauppauge Industrial Association

"Your presentation was very well received by the attendees. I believe it was right on target and very timely. You were a pleasure to work with and I hope we can work together again some time in the near future."

"Thank you for a very instructive and enthusiastic presentation. Many of our members told me that they were very impressed with the information you presented and enjoyed your style of presenting. "
