My training approach is to serve each client the best I can – customizing classes, using specific organization goals. Whatever it takes for the participants to get the most of the class or workshop. Here is what my clients say about me…
“Jan is the best trainer I have worked with during my career. Every conversation leads me to new insights, and I am always happy to have her magic helping our firm progress.”
“Jan’s internal audit reporting writing class was time well spent. Our department quickly implemented several of Jan’s suggestions and techniques. She kept the day entertaining while providing us with new approaches as well as reminders for what can make a report have a better impact. The class information is not just theories. The tools and information shared during the class have been tested and proven to be effective during Jan’s internal audit career. We would be happy to work with Jan again.”
“Jan Beckmann was a speaker for the our local IIA chapter on the topic of analytics. The topic was of high interest to the members and we had a sold out venue. Jan was very energetic and covered all the points promised and more, making the 8 hours go buy quickly! Not only did she do a great job, as evidenced by the survey results, but she also helped me out with recommendations for a project that I was working on that was similar to one she discussed during her presentation. First class all the way!”
"We brought in Jan to provide some basic ACL training to several auditors and she did an outstanding job! She is a pleasure to work with and a true expert in the field. I appreciate her flexibility in applying the material to our environment which ensured our staff could see the value in the new skills they were learning. Her ability to adapt quickly when faced with challenges made the training experience a success! I highly recommend Jan and would consider her again for future training opportunities."
