Testimonials:
"Jan Yager provided a keynote presentation on "Who's
That Sitting at my Desk? How to Succeed by Mastering Work Relationships"
for the Military Librarian's Workshop. Approximately 250 individual
representatives of the military, Department of Defense civil servants,
contractors, and commercial vendor groups attended the conference.
The insights Jan shared provided a good start point for the conference
and the day. Her enthusiasm sparked others to consider how they
might incorporate some of the concepts into their own library
setting. The presentation also provided some specific experiences
that could be used and reflected upon by the librarians attending.
Jan was a a large factor in the success of the conference and
her presentation was mentioned many times in the evaluations as
one of the highlights of the conference. She has earned our gratitude
and appreciation."--Sandy Bradley, Workshop Host
"Dr. Yager presented a terrific and insightful time
management seminar to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The
audience was our Academic Affiliations office and they were all
impressed with the content and delivery of the program. In the
months since the program was delivered, I have checked with the
participants periodically to find out if the material has stayed
with them. Everyone to whom I have spoken has used a large portion
of the techniques they learned in Dr. Yager's presentation."
--Jim Pritchert, (former) VACO Education Service Representative/training
administrator
"Thank you for putting a 6 hour seminar into a 1 hour
presentation. Great job!"
--John Cardinal, Risk Manager, MTV Network

Thank you."
