Testimonials
Visa, Singapore
On behalf of the Early Career team at Visa, I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for the fantastic “Storytelling to Influence” session you facilitated for our Summer Interns across Singapore, China, Hong Kong, and Vietnam.
Your engaging delivery, combined with the use of live scenarios and role plays in breakout rooms, truly brought the session to life. The interns found it not only insightful but also reflective, with many recognizing their personal strengths and areas to further develop. Your ability to connect storytelling with professional growth made a real impact.
We deeply appreciate the time, energy, and thought you put into the session. It made all the difference.

“ETA has been my trusted partner of choice for a number of topics for over 10 years. Wherever I go, I bring ETA with me!
They are a joy to work with from start to finish, truly client centric, responsive and flexible to my needs.
Their content is excellent and facilitation consistently top notch. They have a trainer network across the country and in many global regions as well, so you can count on a consistent experience no matter where your programs are running.
Learners leave rave reviews across the board and ETA workshops are some of the few that I hear people talking about months and even years later.
Grateful for this valuable relationship!”

“ETA’s Unconscious Bias learning workshop had a huge impact at our company. Not only did the sessions generate a new and profound awareness of unconscious bias and how it is experienced, but it also gave us practical tools for how to recognize, reflect upon and change the way we communicate and interact with one another to ensure we can all do our best work, inclusively, collaboratively and authentically.”

Sr. Manager, Learning & Organizational Development, Analog Devices
“Effective Training Associates has been a tremendous partner with Maxim Integrated since 2012 helping us build capability and capacity in our leadership bench. For nearly a decade, ETA has delivered fundamental management skills to our growing team and has become an integral part of the talent development organization. I consider ETA part of the extended Learning & Organizational Development team. More recently, we have expanded our partnership to include professional development programs for all levels of employees at our global locations. Having a partner that can deliver virtual sessions as well as live instructor-led programs has allowed us to reach our employees at any time, no matter where in the world they work, with content that is relevant to their work, is immediately applicable, and meets learners where they are.”

Sr. Manager, Global Localization Services
“Thank you again for an amazing training session and for the fun, engaging activities you planned for our team. We wrapped up our 2-day department meeting today, and many folks shared how much insight they gained into their strengths. Several people mentioned they now feel better equipped to tap into their superpowers. A few who had taken StrengthsFinder in the past even shared that your session was the best they’ve experienced!”
Paul Wesling
IEEE Board Member and Life Fellow
“Our engineers are a tough audience – extremely busy, well
educated, and looking for results that can be applied to today’s
tasks. ETA’s instructors, withtheir real-world experience, pass
the test, year after year. Their courses are fast paced,
engaging, and more practical than conceptual, so participants
leave with new skills they can apply immediately back on the
job. ETA knows our audience, and this shows up in the
excellent post-training reviews.”
Carl Angotti
Past President, IEEE Technical and Engineering Management Society, SCV
“Each year we have thousands of engineers and other skilled technical professionals in this Valley, who are promoted into management; almost all are in need of help as they face their new responsibilities. ETA provides the kinds of professional development opportunities that help them to be effective managers,
empowering them and their co-workers, and increasing the productivity and competitive edge of their organizations. These are skill sets that IEEE alone would have difficulty providing, and which our small and mid-sized companies rarely provide internally. IEEE-TEMS supports ETA’s soft-skills public courses.”
Richard Stallkamp
IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society, Treasurer
“It has been a pleasure to work with the ETA team all these years.
I highly recommend them and their network of professional
instructors to any organization truly committed to raising the
technical and professional level of its staff.”
Teri Keffer
Vice President People, ReCode Therapeutics
“Effective Training has an array of learning opportunities to train employees. What is most important has been Effective Training’s ability to customize content based on audience and the employees experience. Our employees have consistently rated the trainings at a 4+. I highly recommend utilizing their services.”
