“While I saw a lot of talent and heard excellent speeches, I have to say, Craig had something special. He walked up on stage and immediately connected with the audience on a personal level. There may have been 350 people in the room, but you felt like he was speaking to you one-on-one. Craig – you are truly an inspiration to us all.”

“Your speech evaluation workshop really highlighted some areas that I would like to work on in my own speech evaluations to give more concise, specific feedback for the speeches I evaluate. You demonstrated that, while an evaluator can suggest ideas that could improve speech delivery, one can do it in a manner that is very constructive, not critical at all, uplifting, and you actually did it with a humourous edge. I will try this in my next evalution.
I feel privileged to have met you. 5 years now at the Relay for Life all-nighter, you suggested that I get involved in Toastmasters. Well I am glad you did and will always remember that gift.”

Craig Senior, a WordSmith in every sense of the word. Master of articulating thoughts, ideas and just plain old conversation.
I met Craig in 2000 and had the pleasure of working with him and getting to know one of the most well spoken people I know. You’d never know he used to stutter and was kind of shy.
So impressed with Craig’s determination and drive to do better, he earned the NicName DOCMAN….still used today.
No surprise to see 7 years later the heights he has climbed on sheer will.
You will one day be internationally famous DocMan….Then you will not just be Rich with words….

A critical soft skill for project managers is communication.
Notably, the ability to speak effectively, to provide clear direction and link project and organizational goals, facilitate team meetings, encourage team participation and coordinate information sharing.
“What distinguishes the most sought-after schools and M.B.A. graduates are the “soft skills” of communication and leadership that happen to be among the hardest to teach.”
R. J. Alsop, Random House Reference, “The Wall Street Journal Guide to the Top business Schools 2006”.
Communications may be among the hardest soft skills to teach, but Craig Senior has proven to be a master educator, trainer and mentor whose effectiveness is second to none!
