Organizations can be thought of as living beings made up of the individuals working within it. Appreciative Inquiry has the ability to change the whole organization by changing the people. Appreciative Inquiry is a shift from looking at problems and deficiencies and instead focusing on strengths and successes. It is a tool for organizational change and it will strengthen relationships. Who doesn’t like to share good positive stories and events? Think about it.
Thank you for leading the session on Rethinking the Audit Process. I enjoyed it a lot as you were able to engage participants throughout the day to keep it interesting and educational at the same time. Thanks again and I hope to attend and I hope to attend other trainings that you lead in the future.
Audit 2020 - Portland IIA
I recently attended the Soup to Nuts: The Fraud Risk Assessment Process class in Boston. I would like to share that this was one of the very few classes I truly enjoyed as it exceeded my expectations both in content and experience as a “student”. The material for the class is shared prior to the class which allows you to better prepare for the topics of discussion. I related to the material both on a professional and personal level – fraud can happen anywhere! The class was very interactive giving everyone an opportunity to learn and network with one another. Danny Goldberg, the instructor, is an extraordinary instructor. He engages and challenges everyone, thinks outside the box by looking for ways to ensure everyone’s energy (both physical and mental) is up the whole time, by having stories and examples that everyone can relate to, and even offers prizes for best participants/teams as an additional incentive. I would love and look forward future classes taught by Danny G.!

I’ve been a member of the IAFCI since 1996 and had the pleasure to attend the IAFCI Training Conference in Fort Worth last month.
I really enjoyed your presentations on “ Practical Ethics part 1 & 2”. It was hands-down the best ethics session I have ever attended.

“I wanted to thank you for your time teaching the class. I enjoyed how engaging it was and thought I got a lot of information out of it.”
“Thank you for making it so fun! I honestly wasn’t expecting to laugh so much, but I really appreciate that you kept the training lighthearted and engaging.”

I attended your Project Management seminar today and found it very interesting and motivating! Would you please send me the project planning and status templates that you referenced today? Feel free to include any other template along these lines and throughout the process that may be helpful.
I look forward to attending other seminars that will be available later this year.

HFTP Controllers Conference - Practical Ethics
I really enjoyed and greatly appreciate your delivery of the message you were trying to convey. You really made the meeting very enjoyable and upbeat. I hope to attend or see you again in the future. I was just reaching out to you and letting you know what I thought of the book that I purchased from you at the meeting.
I really enjoyed the aspect of the book that you kept it in a narrative and story style. I think it made it a very quick read and also puts the skills and practices that are referenced in the book as well as your training into real world scenarios. I also really like how each chapter was broken out after the chapter with the skills sets, messages, or concepts listed instead of like a textbook format throughout the chapter. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. I have recommended the book to my supervisors that I think this book and your trainings would be very beneficial to all of my co-workers.
I really appreciated you letting me feel so included in your discussion and presentation. Being a younger professional who thinks they have a very strong soft skills set I still feel like I learned and took away a lot from your book and training. I hope to continuously improve my people centric skill set and hope to someday be in a position where I can make an impact as broad as you have.

I enjoyed the class. Your delivery was unique/informal from other presentations I have been a part of and it was effective in delivering the message. I got a lot out of the last two and a half days.
