17. “The results of this comprehensive corporate analysis reaffirmed many of my assumptions; however, Mr. Romeo and Dr. Ollerman were able to identify numerous cultural, operational, organizational and managerial issues of which we were not fully aware. I can clearly see how this comprehensive assessment would be beneficial to any executive who wishes to fully understand the organizational culture they are leading. It would also be invaluable for an organization that is looking to grow internationally or one that might be considering an acquisition, merger, joint venture or alliance with another company.” F.G., President & CEO - Regional Food Distribution Company

18. “Thank you very much for speaking about Benchmarking at our Learning Technical Assistance Program for the US Department of Transportation region 9 and 10 meeting.” AZ LTAP Staff -- US Department of Transportation Learning Division

19. “…Mr. Romeo performed an evaluation of our organization and quickly identified our strengths and weaknesses. I have found Mr. Romeo to be one of the most analytical individuals with whom I have worked in the past 30 years. Given small amounts of information, he is able to assimilate data and see the big picture.” K.N. CEO  --  Technology Company

20. “Mr. Romeo used his consulting expertise to assist our school in preparing a formal report to the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The report was presented to the N.C.A. committee on February 1 and 2. The committee described our report as an “exceptional profile.”   J.R. Principal  --  Arizona School District

21. “Your presentation today was great-practical, organized, professional, interactive and right on target. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us. Before becoming a consultant I was the Director of Training for the computer division of a Fortune 500 company so I don’t give out gratuitous praise about training. You did a terrific job.” J.S. former Fortune 500 Training Director

22. “Mr. Romeo is not only excellent at rapidly analyzing a situation and seeking a solution to a challenge but he is also a dedicated worker and team player with solid consulting, facilitation and presentation skills. Mr. Romeo’s participation in a presentation to a prospective client so impressed the prospect’s attorney, who was present, that he referred other clients to us specifically because of his expertise and ability to communicate.”  C.B. President  --  Public Relations Firm

23. “Once we were conducting a team building retreat with a Fortune 500 company, Mr. Romeo immediately evaluated what the client’s current needs were and we successfully revamped the retreat much to the client’s satisfaction.” Dr. T.O. President  --  Consulting Firm

26. A very successful programme conducted by a highly respected trainer – S.A. Romeo brought with him vast experience and knowledge on Joint Venture and Strategic Alliance issues. Positive feedback received for both venues. He demonstrated a high level of appreciation to the different cultural sensitivities and corporate problems faced by professionals in the 2 venues. Not only is he a highly experienced trainer, Mr. Romeo is also a very passionate and dedicated coach, always ready to help learning minds to his best ability. The ability to bring in real-life experiences into the classroom to share with others is a definite plus point in any training course and he was able to do this emphatically. The experience he gained in his day to day work, he passionately shared this in his teaching. Mr. Romeo has an easy-going attitude while facilitating the Course, and I think that really helped build good rapport between him and the participants. Working with S.A. Romeo has been a definite pleasure. N.M., Program Manager Asia Business ForumSingapore and Malaysia
