TESTIMONIALS:
Here is what clients, colleagues and workshop participants are saying about Joe's
work:
"Joe Brummer is a multi talented individual whose work for this agency
has been exemplary. Joe recently redesigned our web site,
www.bridgesinc.com., with which
we are extremely pleased. It looks great, is easy to use and really
reflects our agency culture. He also taught our staff how to manage the
web site. Joe is terrific to work with because he is accessible,
understanding and communicative. This is reflective of Joe’s other
talents as mediator and instructor of Non Violent Communication (NVC).
Wearing a different hat, he has been educating our agency’s managers and
administrators in the philosophy and skills of NVC and we hope to
maintain this collaboration with him. Feedback from staff has been
exceptionally positive. Joe’s teaching style is open, fun and
encompassing. He gains your attention and keeps you absorbed. Because
we have thoroughly enjoyed and benefitted from our relationship with
Joe, this agency will continue to find ways to keep him involved in our
education and growth."
Marilyn Thomas, Staff Development Director, Bridges,
Inc. January, 2009
"Joe Brummer is completely committed to the field of nonviolence and
shows it in both his professional and personal decorum. His trainings
are inspiring and his mediation skills are those of a seasoned
professional."
Brenda Cavanaugh, Associate
Director, Community Mediation, Inc.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed the time that I spent working with Joe as
a volunteer mediator with our agency. Beyond being an exceptionally
bright and thoughtful person, his passion for understanding and
communicating with others makes him a natural in the conflict resolution
field. After trainings and mediations, I will try to take time to speak
with Joe because my learning experience is always enhanced through
reflecting with him about new information. Because of our positive
experience with working with Joe as a volunteer mediator, we have asked
him to serve on our Advisory Board for our Juvenile Restorative Justice
Program.”
Victoria Moreno-Jackson, Program Director, Community Mediation
Center of Rhode Island
"As a trainer I am always interested in observing other trainers
presentation style, observing the way they present information and
assessing the quality and the content of the information in their
instruction. I find myself always looking for best practices that help
to achieve the maximum audience participation and receptiveness to the
trainer’s message. Yes it true I am one of those people who actually
enjoy going to training. I am delighted when it is good and has great
application in my work and even happier when it enhances something in my
personal life. Joe’s sessions presented ways of enhancing what I do for
the participants in my trainings as well as ways to be more fully
present in my personal life. For me his work represents the best of
what a quality training can do for the participants."
Julie Anderson, MSHRM, Director of Education &
Outreach AIDS Project New Haven August 2009
