Reviews from past attendees

Within 24 hours of attending Patty's workshop, I feel 100% more effective in my leadership and execution skills for managing important meetings with executives and senior managers from other departments and external organizations. The insights and skills learned in Patty's workshop help me in my role every day as we work with our customers, who are the world's largest mobile and Internet companies, as well as internal constituencies, such as the sales and engineering teams.

Take this course! If you are interested in driving your career and work choices, don't wait. Patty is a person with true enthusiasm, drive, talents and skills and she shares her experiences about what it's really like to get and succeed in a senior level positions. This course gave me the "handle" to focus on where I should be going and to organize my thoughts and actions to get there.

Given her background and experience, Patty is unique in having walked the talk. As a result, participants in this session receive a wide array of practical and usable information, combined with proven suggestions for increasing professional effectiveness and success. If your 'desired outcome' is to build your career, then I highly recommend this workshop.

Patty's insight comes from a level of self-examination that few of us will ever be able to achieve. Through her clear assessment of what works and what doesn't in advancing one's career, anyone in a management role striving for more can put her lessons, tools, and techniques to good use to achieve better results.

The Azzarello Group class was an excellent, experience-driven management workshop. I could not imagine a better career investment than learning from Patty's executive experiences. No theoretical frameworks here - simply put, successful management in practice. Leaving this workshop, I will actively manage my brand, commit to extend my network, and engage mentors.

I found the information in this workshop to be useful, to the point, and beneficial.

Attending The Azzarello Group workshop on building your career path was an incredibly valuable investment of time. The workshop was straightforward and based on real life experience, not theory. Patty really demonstrated through her own experiences how being purposeful and strategic in your actions can empower you to achieve your career objectives. I highly recommend the workshop to business professionals at all levels of their careers.

This course: Phenomenal insight on managing my career. Provocative discussions and useful tools to get it done.

Thank you for your Career Workshop. I have to say that it might be the most impactful, valuable session I've ever participated in -- I think that it will be a career and life-changing experience for me. There were so many instances where your advice, perspective and suggestions for ways of thinking about things just seemed to "click" for me ... I definitely had a few "aha" moments. I really didn't want to leave at the end.

I wish I took this course 15 years ago. It provided a methodology and tools that will help me improve in my current position as well as how to go about getting that next job. I would highly recommend this course to anyone in any phase of their career.

I got great insights about networking, managing my career, and creating a personal brand linked to my strengths and values. I'm especially excited about the power of combining strengths, values, and results into an impressive way to present myself. The workshop will help me decide on my next career step and execute on it.

I highly recommend Patty Azzarello's Build Your Career Plan workshop. This course provides a great opportunity to take personal inventory on what you want out of your career and your life, and practical insights on how to get there. I now have a much clearer understanding of my personal brand, and how I can continue to develop that over time. I also greatly appreciated the discussion on how I can "make room" for my personal life and my career ï½­ I am already putting the advice to work and it's really making a difference.

The Build Your Career Workshop was truly enlightening. The time spent learning and gaining confirmation from Patty, and the chance to talk with other industry experts truly broadened my overall perspective toward my career and gave me tools to help find balance with my personal life. This was one day that I believe was well spent.

The course is a wake-up call for anyone who does a good job, takes their work seriously, and then EXPECTS that's all it takes for improved career success. It's a real eye opener to the usual lack of attention that goes into marketing and selling (in a genuine, authentic sense) of a product as important as one's self! The course lays out a good blueprint for ensuring excellence in current job performance, as well as a road map for translating that performance into better career progression.

Every career workshop offers some sort of talent or personality assessment, but if you really want clarity in your career goals, you need to combine that with something more. Patty's workshop offers the most comprehensive tools to combine your talent assessments with your personal values. When you follow her process to develop your "personal brand" you walk away with clarity for your future.

I never realized that you needed to create a brand for yourself in order to move forward in a company. Once Patty explained the reasons why that is important by sharing her own real-life experiences it became clear that this is something that I need to develop.

I've been to dozens of seminars, to career counseling, etc... and I've never come out with such a clear strategy for my career. This is the first workshop I ever attended that was concrete and gave real action items that I can utilize. I never understood until today how to manage my career, and the fact that I have control over it. I can do this. I realized that I can't be timid. I can't wait to be discovered. I have to show people and communicate to them what I am capable of and what my aspirations are.

I received tremendous value from the workshop. It gave me great insights on how to achieve desired career and life goals, a better understanding on how I define my personal brand -- and how important it is, and ideas for how I approach my career, networking, and obtaining the deserved recognition.

This session is a must for aspiring leaders. It teaches you the value of strength enhancement, mentorship, communication and corporate networking.

The Azzarello Group workshop was a great opportunity to assess my career progress and put additional specific plans & tools in place to address my career goals. Patty provided a lot of very good "real-world" information which made the course very interesting and insightful.
