What People Say
"I was very impressed with the quality, depth and experience
Richard J. Scholl provided during his recent writing workshop at Newspaper
Support Services, Inc. He has a commanding knowledge of how to navigate
the corporate landscape while getting the message across clearly. The
personal consultation was icing on the cake."Eli Oriol
Associate Director, Cash Management

“As an administrator of the composition program at West Chester
University, I was Mr. Scholl’s direct supervisor for two years,
have observed and evaluated his interactions with the student clientele,
and am thus well acquainted with his abilities…Richard Scholl
is a strong communicator, a critical thinker, a conscientious colleague.
But Richard Scholl goes beyond the standard of professionalism we expect,
to demonstrate initiative toward every task. In his university teaching,
I was struck by the fact that, within the common goals and mission of
our institution, he was always appropriately innovative and self-motivated
as he designed and delivered his classes. He brought his practical experience
from outside the academy to apply in his classes, and everyone he worked
with benefited. Students responded very positively to his professionalism,
and those of us who were his colleagues also benefited, as he was willing
to share his problem-solving approaches with all of us in the department.
One semester, I happened to teach when he did and we often prepared and
copied our documents together, and I was struck by the seriously high
quality of the materials he prepared as well as his generosity in sharing
his insights and methods. These qualities of collegiality and generosity
are boons to any workplace.
“I had the pleasure of observing a class session that Richard
taught. I will quote from my official report on that session: I cited
his ‘enthusiasm’ in working with his charges, his ‘encouraging’ mentoring
of students, his knowledge of the subject, his patience with a variety
of students, and his use of ‘different techniques’ to ‘appeal
to different learning styles and offer his students multiple opportunities
for participation and greater understanding of the subject.’ I
think these collegial, flexible and conscientious (not to mention smart)
approaches are transferable to many situations in which we work with
clients or colleagues. Later, I supervised a committee assessing Mr.
Scholl’s overall performance, and the committee was in unanimous
agreement that Richard met all professional expectations. Richard Scholl
has my very strong recommendation.”William B. Lalicker, Ph.D.

“I just wanted to say hello and send you a quick note of appreciation
for everything that you taught in your class last semester. I can
honestly say that since starting my first job after graduation, your
class has truly proven to be the most valuable class that I took over
the entire course of my college career. All of the little tips and pointers
you gave have paid off so much and I am constantly reminded of them throughout
my everyday activities on the job. Currently, I am working at a pharmaceutical
research organization and I am proud to say that I was recently promoted
to a Trac Analyst Position (I was selected out of 30 candidates), where
I will be helping to manage multiple R&D projects that my company
is working on. I sincerely believe that your class played a big
part in helping me to achieve this and I just wanted to say thank you.”Megan Gillott

“The ability to communicate both professionally and effectively
is an invaluable skill, and a skill which takes time to develop. Professor
Scholl, through engaging lectures and interactive workshops, facilitated
the development of my communication skills, which has benefited me on
both a professional and personal level. In such an evolving world,
communication has never been more important, and being able to write
and speak professionally has become a necessity to succeed in the business
environment.
“I am lucky to have had the opportunity to participate in his
classes, as I have learned how to represent myself and my ideas more
creatively, in both written and verbal forms. I highly recommend
Professor Scholl's business classes and workshops, and encourage others
to consider the future benefits of learning how to communicate more effectively.”Holli Davis
