Bryan Meyer, La Crosse County Surveyor

JoLynn has conducted several training sessions for us at Adams-Columbia Electric Cooperative. She has tailored the various classes for our employees and board of directors needs and provided several options for customizing training hand outs and manuals. The feedback from our employees and board of directors who have attended the training classes given by JoLynn was extremely positive and they have requested her to come back to give additional instruction.
Brenda Merkle, IT Supervisor, Adams-Columbia Electric Cooperative

JoLynn does an excellent job of explaining computer information for the average learner. She is concise and gives great examples. She is extremely knowledgeable and can explain differences from 2003, 2007 to the 2010 product.

I really enjoyed your classes, particularly, your teaching style…sharing client stories and using “real life” business examples is always a plus for me when material is challenging to comprehend.
Thanks again, Valorie
