A One Day Detailed Course on Managing and Recognizing and Optimizing Emotions
Emotional intelligence describes the ability to understand one’s own feelings, and that of groups, and how these emotions can influence motivation and behavior. The concepts of Emotional Intelligence have been around since at least the 1900’s, but the term was first introduced by Wayne Payne in 1985.
As a result of the growing acknowledgement by professionals of the importance and relevance of emotions to work outcomes, the research on the topic continued to gain momentum, but it wasn’t until the publication of Daniel Goleman’s best seller Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ that the term became widely accepted by mainstream media.
The Practical Ethics course was extremely interactive and encompassed many different subjects and situations. It was very interesting and helpful to hear several different perspectives on these issues and made you think of how you would respond in specific situations and why. I can definitely take some of the thinks I learned in this class and apply them in real-life situations.

Just wanted to extend thanks for your presentation on Communication. I found that session to be among the top three sessions of the week, including the keynote speakers.

“First of all I want to thank you for the training provided, for your energy and for every single explanation given with a lot of patience. The training was very useful, especially for a person like me with no IT experience at all.”
IT Auditing for Non-IT Auditors (Boston, MA) - Private Training
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 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.

Danny is a great speaker and the review of the audit process is critical because many times, we might think we are being valuable to our institution, but we have some areas that we may lack. The discussions with the audience were helpful because I got to hear similarities and differences among audit shops because everyone has certain ways that they conduct their processes. As still being fairly new to internal audit, this session really opened my eyes more to the audit process and the ways that we should carry ourselves among our colleagues in the institution.
ACUA Annual Conference (Miami) - 9/2016
I just wanted to drop a quick note saying thank you for yesterday’s training. The group was the most genuine and engaged I’ve experienced – very neat to be a part of it. In our small group discussions, it was so rich in dialogue – I will use it in my daily life many times over.

Management:
I appreciate the time and effort Danny put into the training. We were a tough crowd and he did an excellent job.
I’ve been to a lot of trainings over the years. I think Danny is probably the best I’ve seen at creating an upbeat environment where everyone feels comfortable participating. He did really well at keeping folks engaged. He also covered a lot of valuable ground. On the whole, he was excellent.
