"The strategic planning format you introduced is terrific. We have clearly articulated the purpose of our business, the values that drive our actions, and how Cook Engineering is going to be successful. We now have a straightforward, repeatable process to plan and take action.... Cook Engineering is on track to achieving the highest revenue and profit figures in more than five years, and you have made a significant contribution to that success." Sean Cook

"I highly recommend Eric Anderton'sLeadership Training to not only improve your (or your staff's) individual management and leadership skills, but also to improve the overall management and leadership of your firm.“ John Quincy

"The workshops are never boring, Eric keeps everyone engaged and participating, while making sure that no one dominates the meeting to the detriment of others.If you need to improve communication, teach your staff how to engage in healthy conflict, and help them focus on how they can become a more cohesive team, I highly recommend using Eric to work with everyone from your senior leaders to departmental groups." Peter Tateishi
