    Changes at IMR

    2008 was a challenging, yet rewarding year Challenging as our vibrant economy nearly collapsed; rewarding that many of our clients continued to use IMR for Assessments (PXT's), Leadership Development (Seminars and Workshops), Productivity (Time Management, Project Management and Working Sm@rt) and Strategic Planning and Coaching.

    IMR made a key personnel change as Tom von Berg joined our team and brought his senior executive experience to the company. Tom will provide Strategic Planning, Marketing and Operations management competencies, as well as training assignments.

    Donna Eason expanded her role to include Manager of Client Services.

    Do you use all the features of your BlackBerry?

    Do you even know all of the shortcuts and other features of your BlackBerry?

    Why not consider taking our BlackBerry Tips and Tricks Workshop? This is a 3-hour workshop that is designed to help you understand and use your BlackBerry more effectively. Your phone company doesn't have time to train you and you are not using your BlackBerry like it should be used.
