“I am writing this to highly recommend Synergy Development and Training, headed by David Gerber. In my medical practice of over 30 years, we have grown from three employees to 30. Many of our management staff have been have been brought up through the ranks, so to speak, without formal training in management skills.  I feel very fortunate that we discovered Synergy and David Gerber.  After initial discussions, we moved forward with management training for our seven managers.  This was followed up by one on one training with our Managing Director.  I interviewed all of our staff afterwards, and everyone was highly impressed and appreciative of his training without exception. Most impressive was the fact that most of our managers also told us that his training was very useful outside of work, for their family and friends (i.e. social life). We are continuing to use his services for our other non-management office personnel.  I recommend synergy and David highly without reservation.”
