What a powerful, motivating, enlightening, and educational experience Dr. Stanley Ellis, with Sille Educational Consulting, provided for the Southern Arkansas University TRIO Talent Search students. The workshops were thought provoking, engaging, and encouraging. Dr. Ellis utilized various methods of presenting to help the students improve their critical thinking skills, enhance their power of words, and boost their confidence in direct conversation with others. His hands-on approach incorporated all participants. The SAU TRIO Talent Search students’ evaluation responses were overwhelmingly favorable and indicated the students benefited educationally and personally from the series of workshops Dr. Ellis presented. Below are a few quotes, from the TRIO Talent Search students. The quotes indicate the effectiveness of Dr. Ellis’ workshops. ‘Dr. Stanley has really given me great wisdom about resumes; I feel like I can walk into an interview and get the job; Now I can take this into the real world; What I have learned will be helpful in today’s workforce; This information will help me in life; I feel accomplished and ready to work, I learned a lot about college life and how to get there; I liked how energetic Dr. Ellis was; Absolutely loved it; I learned the right mindset and behavior will help you reach your goals and today was fun and educational.’ I am thankful for the experience Dr. Ellis offered to the TRIO students and will definitely utilize his services again.
