Testimonials

“Dr. Gleb had a big positive impact at Applied Materials. Our leaders and engineers love data-based, research-based insights, which is exactly what he brings. He hit it out of the park, and he used a team led process, which was incredibly engaging. He introduced us to a concept he created called asynchronous brainstorming. It was a process we used with hundreds and hundreds of leaders globally at the same time. We did this during our CEO kickoff session for our strategy work. In a very short amount of time, we were able to get great benefits.”

“I just want to express my sincere appreciation for the training that Dr. Gleb put together for our group as a train-the-trainer on hybrid work. We really took a lot from it. We found it really valuable! Especially two of the key areas for us were the way that it provided some very practical advice on how to operationalize hybrid work and train our supervisors on the approach related to that, as well as the insights related to data.”

Dr. Gleb Tsipursky led one of the most highly rated webcasts offered by the Society for Human Resource Management. (99.3% of those in attendance said they would recommend the program to a colleague, and more than 8 in 10 gave it the highest rating available.) This comes as no surprise to me. Both Dr. Gleb's content and presentation style were top notch. He managed to relay complex concepts and insights with compelling case studies and even a touch of humor. On our post-event survey, one the HR professionals viewing the program wrote that Dr. Gleb provided "very useful info that can be easily applied (and immediately)." Like our audience, we look forward to more programs with him in the future.”

“Dr. Gleb’s presentation at our virtual webinar was powerful! He was prepared, passionate, and engaged our audience. He was happy to go through our logistics and prep sessions to make sure that everyone was comfortable. If you want a true professional I would strongly recommend Dr. Gleb for your future engagements.”

“We at Entergy hired Dr. Gleb as the opening keynote speaker to set the tone for the annual nuclear utility industry conference, hoping he would give a wake-up call about the threats and risks facing us and what steps we can take to prepare. Well, what he delivered exceeded our expectations. His keynote was the talk of the conference, widely described by attendees as giving the nuclear industry “the kick in the pants" we needed to jump-start critically important initiatives to address the threats he outlined.” Thank you Dr. Gleb!”
