What People are Saying about Cheetah's Online Courses....
PM Strength Builder
“I really liked the feedback about how
to improve my PM skills by strengthening the areas of my style that are not as
robust as other areas – in other words, to create PM improvement by
self-improvement."
-Ann-Marie Roberts
"I was a bit surprised by the content of the
course as it was more personalized to me than I anticipated."
-Tony Hill
Cheetah Project Management
“Barb did an excellent job of communicating and provided feedback that helped me
make better use of the class. I was glad to see that this was not a canned
response on-line course.”
-Fred Dunn
Cheetah Negotiations
"Thank you, Michelle. This class is really
outstanding. I appreciate the collection of material that was absolutely new and
extremely helpful to me: the thinking hats, the 6 influences, the negotiation
tactics, the permission-based questions.
And BTW, this Cheetah course helped me to achieve something that I failed in my
summer PMP prep class: I completely gave up coffee and caffeinated sodas more
than a month ago. Although the placebo effect of Luna nutrition bars wore off
quickly, giving up the major source of caffeine did make a big difference for
me."
-Anna Varzar
"Performing the worked examples against example in
my own environment helped to put the material in context."
-Duncan Symmons
"The activities within each module were both
challenging and enlightening, providing me with the opportunity to explore
different options as I progressed through the exercises."
-Tom Slater
"I found the subject
matter very interesting. Identifying personality types was especially
interesting to me....I purchased the Art of Speedreading People as recommended in
this class. I think it will be very valuable to me in my work life and my
personal life."
-Ellen Heidkamp
"The
exercises were helpful because they made you better understand the material.
The personality typing was the most important and one that I will try to
continue doing for individuals involved in my projects. It will definitely help
with negotiating."
-Nancy Burrington
"On
behalf of our organization’s Project Management Network (an enterprise wide
community of practice), I would like to thank you for your
presentation, “Negotiation Skills for Project Managers” on Wednesday,
January 10th.
This event had
an outstanding turnout of 450 participants. This is the most we’ve had for
any lecture presentation of the PMN. The program content was quite
interesting and the reference books you mentioned are in demand. Most of
the emails sent to me requested the pricing for your training. I’ve
instructed everyone to visit www.cheetahlearning.com. I believe you will
get a lot of folks signing up for your training. Other emails commented
on the presentation using these words to describe it: interesting concepts
for personality identification, excellent delivery of content, useful tips
and guidelines.
Through your
efforts our members have gained important knowledge and expanded their
project management skill set, and that ultimately serves to improve project
management at our company.
Thank you again for your time and for sharing your wealth of experience
and ideas with us."

Communicating Through Conflict
“I’ve greatly enjoyed putting the techniques learned
in ‘Communicating Through Conflict’ to use in my daily interactions with
customers, project staff, and my kids. Whether you are a Project Manager or a
parent, it’s the most valuable piece of knowledge in the world, to understand
how to deal with difficult people in difficult situations. These lessons really
do give you the skills you need to turn bad situations into productive ones. And
the advantage of an online offering means nobody has to struggle without me for
long periods of time. Thanks, Cheetah!”
-Christine Morgan, PMP
"The activities were very real-world and useful."
-Sarah Birnbaum
"Effective course. Thanks!"
-Sukey Wilder
"The course covered very live scenarios that we face everyday and results in
tremendous loss in productivity, quality and employee turnover. The course
taught how we should handle and make it a habit to turn these conflict
situations into a growth experience."
-Kiran
M Dasgupta
"I am going to recommend this course to my company’s training department."
-Kyle Chapman
Project Portfolio
Leadership
“Barb did an excellent job of assembling a no nonsense
yet comprehensive set of documents and straight forward processes that allow any
firm to get their Project Portfolio management up and running in weeks. I found
this approach leverages the strength of the PMBOK with precision. The process
was quickly adopted by my company.”
-Gerry Palermo, PMP
"Good overall course"
-James
Moxley
Enterprise Project Management
"The proposal that I gave to my Senior VP was
approved! I go to Europe in 2 weeks to begin work on implementation as he wants
me to start right away! Just HAD to send to you and thought you might be
interested in seeing it and of course I am proud of the work. I wanted you
to see that I actually learned something! (smile) Thanks."
-Laura Snider
"The templates were very helpful for future PM work.”
-Curt Klingelberger
"I found the course challenging and very
educative"
-Benjamin Thomas
Building Your Consulting Practice
“I can truly say that Cheetah Learning’s Building Your
Consulting Practice course has been transformational for me. I took the course
on a whim, not really committed to the idea of starting my own business, and
came out the other end with a fledgling business and 3 clients! The instructor
was engaged, responsive and made sure I got value from the course by making me
work through, rather than skate past, the hard parts.”
-Sara Howarth
On Par Project Management
“Great course. I will remember taking this one for
many years to come. It really made taking a Project Management course more than
just fun – I looked forward to it! The instructor, Michael Bales, was wonderful."
-Christopher Lanzano
"Cheetah by far offers the best PM courses. I plan
to sign up for more in the future and recommend them to my associates."
-Shirley Hughes
Project Kayak
“I have to say now that I’m almost finished with this-
what a great project for obtaining PDUs from all aspects! Not only was it good
practice to once again go through project initiation, planning, execution and
control and soon to be close-out activities but also, building the kayak when
I’ve never built anything before was really a positive experience. I have
learned a lot personally and also professionally from this experience."
-Carol Stone
"It was such a GREAT team building project. Seeing the end product in one
day was outstanding!"
-Kelly Baumer
PM Scorecard - Making Meaningful PM Performance
Assessment
"Overall an excellent course. Promoting the use of metrics in managing projects
will enhance the PM profession"
-Bill
Higgins
Project Home Improvement
"Actual use of actual PM tools and techniques on a short term
project with almost instantaneous feedback on your inputs to Cheetah Learning."
