Ken Owen

PG&E Corporation

"Thank you very much for a great course. So many questions were answered and thoroughly explained that I am still trying to absorb. I look forward to using the workbook in my daily tasks and perhaps attending more courses as I grow with the business."

LInda S. Haskins

Dominion

"The instructor was very passionate about her subject matter and had a terrific delivery. She made students feel very comfortable asking questions and was extremely approachable. The course was choc full of very current information - which was well researched with plenty of footnotes/sources for individual followup."

Debra Reyes Castro

Consultant

"I truly meant every word I said about how impressed I was with your knowledge of these industries from physical, financial, regulatory, political, historical, and ecomonic perspectives.  And your style of conveying the information was extremely engaging. The training truly exceeded my expectations."

Sherrie Austin

Vice President, Market Strategies, Inc.

"The course was GREAT!  I made some great contacts to boot! I'm going to try REALLY hard to get to the Chicago workshop for the 2-day on electric market dynamics. My comfort level in my job increased exponentially just from the 1-day on the energy industry. I can't imagine how good I would feel after 2 full days of that!"
