Before starting the Emotional Intelligence class, I thought I was in touch with my emotions.  What I learned was; I was in touch only with the reaction I was having vs. the root cause of those reactions.  Understanding the difference has made all the difference both at work and home.
The study of EI surprised me. There was a noticeable difference both in how I perceived my job & coworkers and I believe in how they perceived me after the changes I learned to make.  Work has been drastically more harmonious since EI changed how I act and  react to the stresses of the job.    Thanks for the class

Gary is a unique and gifted teacher. He has faith and believes in his students. The class and Gary's dedication and confidence in me was KEY for me passing the exam. He pushed me and encouraged me not to give up. Listen to Gary, read the material, learn the charts, ask questions and follow the plan.

The course did what it promised it and allowed me to pass the PMP exam the first time. I think it was an excellent model for preparing for the exam. The course was well worth the investment and is a surefire way to pass the PMP exam. I cannot thank Gary enough for his support and the way he has structured the course.

This course was a great preparation for the PMP exam. I have friends who have taken this without Gary's course and had a much harder time because they only studied the material and not HOW to take the test. All of Gary's helpful hints are really the hidden gems of the cours

"I first met Gary at a large client site. My project reported into Gary’s program oversight. Gary set the example of excellence in project management and was recognized as an advocate for the project management profession, who encouraged PMI certification.

Later, when a colleague shared that he had completed the Doulos PMP training course and passed the exam, it was no surprise to find Doulos was founded by Gary. I completed the PMP prep training course and received my certification. What Gary says is true, if you follow the program of study, you will pass the exam.

Today’s session over Emotional Intelligence (EI) was a great learning experience and opportunity for all L-3 Employees. Mr. Rechtfertig has a great deal of knowledge and experience on the subject and provided the group with a vast amount of useful information. It was interesting to learn that only 10% of managers are familiar with EI, even though it makes up 70% of our intelligence. He explained that only 30% is actual IQ based intelligence. We as employees must learn how to recognize and manage our emotions, as well as the emotions of those around us. Today’s session was full of helpful tips and essential information that we, as future PMs, will be able to use to help increase performance in ourselves and our teams. I am very pleased that I had the opportunity to attend this session and greatly appreciate Mr. Rechtfertig taking the time to come visit L-3 Communications.

There is no way I would have been prepared for the test without the PMP Prep Course. Working through practice tests is a must to 1) practice application of the processes, application of the PMBOK material, 2) to break old ways of thinking .... your experience and mindset can cause you to fail IF you do not learn to think like the PMBOK and PMI.

I would give the PMP course a solid 10 out of 10. The methodology of using each weeks test to introduce PMI concepts works well. The length of the course is necessary to adsorb the PMBOK at a level of detail necessary to apply to the test. This course provides the right framework to be prepared for whatever you will find on the exam.

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I just passed!!  And I scored significantly higher than I anticipated.

"It is my honor to recommend Gary and Doulos PM Training. I have been greatly benefited by PMP training and Risk Management PMP Exam Prep, Risk Management, Advanced PM Training and MS Project 2007 training courses are highly interactive sessions with focused approach aimed at producing quality results from dedicated professionals seeking either PMP certification or advance courses required for career growth and earning PDUs. Gary and his excellent fellow instructors always do a great job by sharing their knowledge, experience to deliver and identifying the student interests and knowledge. I highly recommend the classes at Doulos PM Training for PMP certification and Advanced Project Management Training."

The PMP Prep class helped me understand the PMI way and how to approach the questions. I'm not sure I would have passed the first time without understanding that, and I don't think I would have gotten it on my own unless I would have gotten lucky in ordering the "right" study materials and know to read them multiple times.

I took a prep course approximately a year prior to Gary's exam prep course. The competitor did not prepare me for the level of studying required for the test. I am glad I put off taking the PMP exam until after taking Gary's class.

If I have not said this before, I want to tell you that your class "rocks" like most young folks say these days.
Thank you for being our teacher - Craig !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
