Client Comments . . .

"I owe you and Brief Encounters another big thanks.This year (2015) at Intersteno, I was able to win the real-time world championship, and in the speed competition I was also able to move up to second fastest in the world."
– John Wissenbach

“I can't sing your praises enough! Your theory works well with my brain and you are my go-to source time and again. I started a four-month captioning course this past May, and no matter the subject matter, your book is with me on the journey. And I smile when you have a brief that makes my job easier!”
– Karen Shipley

"Your Brief Encounters is incredibly good. It makes so much sense!"
– Marge Teilhaber

"I think this book should be required reading for every reporter. I’ve been reporting for 21 years, have my CRR and RMR, but I’d have to say I feel like I have just now ‘turned the corner’ after incorporating some of these briefs"
– Jodi Harmon

"I really wanted to let you know that this week several of your briefs magically appeared in my writing without any effort, and I really like them! They are so easy to write. What is so great about these outlines is that they are assimilated from just looking at this book."
– Lyn Lindsay "

Your books and CD's on briefs have given my wrists another 20-year lease on my court reporting life. Thank you!!!!"
