What Participants Say About Face2Face
Prudential Financial
We've trained 600 managers in Prudential's Information Technology Division. The program is so successful that managers who participated in it have recommended that it be expanded to include all employees, not just the management level. We are now designing the program so that it gives their nonmanagement employees the same Face2Face tools, but shows them how to apply the tools in an upward, employee-to-management perspective.
Course evaluations show:
99% say the tools are valuable.
98% say the facilitator is good-excellent.
64% say it is the best training they have ever attended.

We've trained hundreds of managers in Merck's Information Services Division. Our Face2Face program provides their managers with essential tools for communicating business issues not only with employees, but also with their business clients in other Merck Divisions.
We've trained Merck managers throughout the U.S. and in Brussels, Belgium.
Course evaluations show:
99% rate the tools valuable.
99% rate the facilitator positively.

Greenpoint Financial
Prior to its sale to North Fork Bankcorporation, Greenpoint Financial was a leading New York City financial institution. We’ve worked with Chris Mykrantz for several years, not only at GreenPoint, but while
he was with two other companies. Chris used our program in a train-the-trainer application.
Comments from GreenPoint’s Vice President of Corporate Communications:
“I've worked with Joe Williams Communications over the course of several years and while I was with two different companies, and find them to be
responsive,thorough, professional and extremely easy to work with. Their team
cares a great deal about providing value for their clients and making sure that
the services they provide meet the specific needs of our business objectives.
“We’ve trained more than 300 managers using their Face2Face program over
the past two years. The best feature of the program is that it provides a
solid training foundation in communication skills but is designed to be
extensively customized to fit our own specific business environment.
That’s critical for our managers because the degree of relevance to our
business that we can provide them during the training dictates how
effective they’ll be able to implement the skills we’re teaching them
once they go back to the workplace.”
