September 1, 2015 Rochester IIA Meeting

“I enjoyed the training on Fraud and Project Management. You have a great way of keeping people engaged and interested without putting them on the spot. I found a lot of your material interesting.” -Attendee, Audit Manager

  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.

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 attended your presentation on Crucial Communications which was absolutely great!  Thanks for being the instructor.  You are an amazing instructor and are so lively with the audience.

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.

“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.”  

“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 was great meeting you last week in your training class. I really loved your presentation and content and how you made the course very interactive.  I found your session to be very powerful.” – Attendee, CAE

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.

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. Attendee, People-Centric Skills: Communications Presentation
