Frequently Asked Questions
Questions I hope you're asking
What makes Howard different from other consultants?
He simply does things differently — this will be apparent from the outset, from uncommon professional ethics through transparent communication to generous outputs. You'll immediately notice a lack of (tolerance for) fluff, and a focus on clarity, open-mindedness, and new options. Because he believes in skin in the game, he offers success-fee structures on certain activities. It keeps him sharp and you certain.
Do you work with remote teams?
Absolutely. Howard has run over 200 virtual workshops and events since Covid. Telling a story works just as well through a screen — as long as you're not on mute.
How long are the workshops?
Thanks to video conferencing, all workshops can be tailored to any amount of time (2-2½ hours recom-mended) and spread over any number of sessions. In-person training is usually 3-6 hours, for one or two days. Half-day sessions are the sweet spot for most, though Presentation Skills is usually two intensive days for a room full of people.
Is there some guarantee I'm not wasting money?
Howard has always included a satisfaction guarantee in T&C since his first website in 2004. It reads: "I am not satisfied until you are satisfied. If a client is disappointed with a service, we will agree to continue working on it at no extra charge, until client is satisfied. Or, you can fire me on the spot and I'll cancel the invoice." Simple as that.

Evaluation forms from participants
Complete, unabridged evaluation sheet scans from past workshops. Click to view full size, and zoom in for detail! No form was excluded, destroyed or thrown out. This is all of them, except a few courses when the agency wouldn't give me a copy of them.
No evaluations match that number.
