*"I found the Marketing Made Lean workshop to be very beneficial. It allowed me to carve out time to dedicate energy directly towards our organization's marketing efforts. By the end of the course I not only felt that I had a good solid plan for my short term goals, I also was able to articulate long term goals that correlated to real number projections. The curriculum, course tools, classroom participation, and moderator style all fed into an entrepreneurial minded forum that was well received by other like-minded professionals."*
