What class sponsors are saying.

  • Wacker's Performance Excellence program had a need for an external trainer to develop the capabilities and confidence of team members from across the U.S. We partnered with Anthony because his approach to class design, teaching, and coaching exceeded our high standards. Anthony was easy to work with and possessed the required knowledge to coach our blackbelt candidates enabling them to improve very complex operations to seize millions in value creation opportunities. If you're looking to increase the critical thinking and problem-solving capabilities at your organization, I highly recommend Anthony for your external continuous improvement partnering needs.

  • Anthony brought together everything you’d expect from an industry experienced Master Blackbelt. The training was received so well by both students and leadership that another class is scheduled, with a new wave of Blackbelt candidates eager to learn the tools and methodologies. The way Anthony approached planning, scheduling, and teaching was well structured, efficient, and easily understood.
