What an amazing program filled with so much information useful in all aspects of life not only professional. Definitely would recommend to anyone trying to better themselves and people around them.
Job Ocampo, Electronic Precision Specialties, Brea

As an HR Manager, I would highly recommend the Crestcom training program for all companies large and small. Our managers reported several benefits they experienced- greater self-motivation, increased bonding as a management team, appreciation towards the company for investing in them and most of all increased knowledge and skills as leaders in dealing with employees and each other. It was a very positive experience for all of our managers. If you are looking for a way to add a positive boost to your management/leadership team this is it.
Angela Carlson-Davis, Pinnacle Precision, Anaheim

Crestcom is the real deal!! John Partington, (class instructor) was great! He made the training fun and meaningful. The materials and tools provided by the class, can be used inside and outside the work place. Don’t waste your time shopping for other management and leadership development classes. Crestcom-OC is the only choice you should make!!!
Michelle Weber, Magnetic Metals, Anaheim

It has been several years since our training at Crestcom and to this day, the lessons learned are being used daily. Our Instructor, John Partington, made the classes fun and relevant so that the material learned stuck in our brains. He brought our team of 5 managers closer together and this has strengthened the overall team of the company. Definitely a great investment with returns that are still evident.
Christina Bennett, Pinnacle Precision, Anaheim

I took this course about a year ago and let me tell this was the greatest tool my company could have given me. At first I was shy and didnt really like to participate but John Partington made the class feel so welcoming, fun and productive. John is great at what he does, if you have a question he will explain and makes sure you have all the right information. This class has been a great learning tool not only for work but also for your personal experiences.
Ana Mejia, Magnetic Metals, Anaheim

I was honored to be a participant in this program, as it taught me a lot about myself and how to become a better me in my professional and personal life. The exercises throughout the program were great , very helpful, easy, user friendly, and Well thought out to help through the process. I would love to be a parts of Crestcom Team and become one of the instructors and help make a difference in someones professional and/or personal life like this program and our instructor did for me. Thank you very much and thank you John for your leadership throughout this program, i would do it all over again.
Carlos Avina, Electronic Precision Specialties, Brea

Crestcom's Bulletproof Manager courses were loaded with information relevant not only in a management/business environment but in dealing with many of life's day-to-days. I was extremely impressed with the instructor, John Partington, who kept the atmosphere lively and engaging and whose obvious investment in the success of the course members kept him readily accessible even after courses were complete.
