Glaser and Associates has a long history of helping people. Read what people are saying about the Glasers.

 
 

“The Glasers provided the best training I have ever seen relating to effective communication.  They gave training to our executive/director team at Florida Hospital Heartland Division.  The tools they taught us have revolutionized the way we communicate.”

 

Anthony Stahl, MSA, SPHR
Executive Director of HR & Organizational Development
Florida Hospital Heartland Medical Center

 
 

“Your work and expertise are truly needed today and your passion for your work is evident in all that you do.”

 

Tom Russell
CEO
Adventist Medical Center

 
 

“Susan and Peter Glaser are two of the finest trainers I have ever seen. Their style is entertaining and enjoyable. They deal with subjects that are fundamental to all of us being more productive managers and employees, as well as better human beings!”

 

Isaac Dixon
Director, Office of Diversity
Providence Health and Service

 
 

“I've worked with the Glasers in good times and bad.  Whether your Administration and Medical Staff are ready to come to blows, or you simply want to help your leadership team take communication to the next level, the Glasers are the ones to call. Their tailored approach balances honesty with diplomacy.  They quickly diagnose the essence of any communication challenge, and they teach people with opposing goals to understand the benefits of communicating so everyone wins.”

 

Jendi Coursey
Public Relations Director
Mendocino Community Health Clinic

 
 

“One of our account executives was vying for a position that required a visit to Corporate with a presentation as part of her final interview. Using the Glaser method for persuasive presentations, she got rave reviews and a job offer. The best part was that she did such a fabulous job that Corporate wants to have her as a coach to other colleagues as they prepare their own presentations. Using the Glaser techniques, she absolutely stood out in the crowd. With one presentation she doubled her salary and stepped up her career path.”

 

Sheila Strand
Executive Director
Evercare Oregon

 
 

“Reading the Glaser’s book, Be Quiet, Be Heard: The Paradox of Persuasion, I was carried from one page to the next as I gleaned many concepts and strategies that are so relevant to my everyday work life, as well as my personal life. I see this as a "how to" manual that one almost wants to carry around to help with those daily communication challenges. Great tactics are presented, all the way from handling conflict to giving a public speech. This book is one valuable suggestion after another. What a great way to synthesize years of experience and knowledge into one location.”

 

Wynelle J. Huff, PhD
Vice President
Adventist Medical Center

 
 

“The Glasers presented educational sessions for both our department managers and our physicians. Since quality communication is essential to quality care. the trainings were invaluable - time and money well spent.  Peter and Susan are both informative and entertaining with common sense methods that are key to effective workplace communication.”
