I am very much satisfied; it applies to my job.
Helpful to have areas defined and logically listed workbooks will be useful.
Fantastic!  The examples and role playing were very useful to practice.
Examples were right on!
There was a lot of information presented.  I'm glad you emphasized just a few critical ones, i.e., interpersonal techniques.
Very satisfied.
One of the most practical supervisory classes I've attended.
I thought the information was relevant and well delivered.
I was shown new strategies of dealing with the art of supervision.
Very good.  I probably need the extended version.
I felt I could have used more time and practice on techniques.  Class was great!
It was very helpful to see various issues and approaches.
As a new supervisor this was very informative and gives me a great place to improve my skills.
Will help organize how to do difficult tasks.
One must really try to apply these new learned skills.

2. How satisfied are you that the information provided in this seminar is sensitive to and positively responds to the differences between people?
This really impressed me -- unusual, in my experience.
American born, yes -- multi-cultural, not necessarily.
Information gathered is applicable to all with consideration to culture.
It takes in to account what and how to get to the root of the problem with facts.
We discussed language issues which was interesting.

3. How satisfied are you with your ability at this time to apply the information covered in this seminar to your work or organization?
I will try hard -- I will be challenged to approach feedback sessions with context-content -- not so focused on solutions.
Looking forward to taking the information back and trying it.
Very satisfied but could use more seminars like yours.
I am anxious to try some of these new skills.
I think with a bit of review it will work very well.

I will have to work on it.

I can use this material to work out problems with employees.

4. How satisfied are you that you had sufficient opportunities to participate?
A lot of information to cover in one day.

Small groups work great (for us) except for turning a profit (for you)!

Great balance between handouts, research and analytical information (theoretical and practical).

Prior training/exposure with your training so some of this was a repeat.
I learned new ideas to try at work.
Something we need to review many times.
Everything on management training is good.

Other -- What other training topics would you like to have presented?
Skills to use with your direct supervisor.
When people give their example, could you give more of an extreme and least responsive employee.
You did a great job with our unit.  It has had lasting results.
Creation and use of good performance appraisal process of supervisee.  Advanced class and more of the same.
Dealing with difficult people.
Would like more of the same -- practice, practice, practice.  Really liked the assessment tool; hope to be able to use it better than the one we use now.  Give concrete areas for improvement and can easily develop action and development plans.
Maybe the opportunity for the full session.  I appreciated your setting the tone of confidentiality and respect.  Also for including other cultural quotes as part of your training.
Meetings.
Further advanced packages -- brainstorming.
How to conduct meetings.
Class was fun and very informative.  Also a good hotel to have your trainings.
I like the idea of offering this to the crew of [organization].
