Testimonials

Quad Graphics Inc.

"Quad Graphics Inc has employed the services of Mary Lynn Bennett of Bilingual Skills Services LLC since October 1999. Not only did we find her organizational and instructional talents to be top-notch, she also had the unique ability to assist in dealing with the cultural challenges that exist with such a diverse group. She took the time to verse herself with the production environments that exist within our plants, and made herself available to assist our production staff management in matters pertaining to this group."

"I would highly recommend her and her organization to any Company that faces the challenges of the diverse workforce of today."

"Spanish Speakers at Allen-Edmonds Get 'Lean' on their Own Turf"

"In 2003 Allen-Edmonds Shoe Corporation began transforming its manufacturing environment to become 'lean'. After exploring various options, the company hired Wisconsin Manufacturing Extension Services (WMEP) and Bilingual Skills Services LLC to conduct their Spanish Lean Manufacturing Overview and Simulation Workshop."

"David (Lange of WMEP) and Mary Lynn (Bennett of Bilingual Skills Services) put together an excellent presentation on lean manufacturing because it gave co-workers a sense of ownership and it opened up lines of communication between the Spanish-speaking and the English-speaking employees." said Sue Sampson, training manager for Allen-Edmonds."

"Mary Lynn did a great job working through the manufacturing simulation and answering the many questions that our production team asked, Our Hispanic workers were very pleased with her contribution. I heartily recommend Mary Lynn's services to anyone looking to improve communication in a multi-cultural environment!

"It is great to meet people who are willing to commit themselves in making a change in society. The willingness to be able to advocate and work for an underserved population speaks volumes of Mary Lynn Bennett. She has been a prominent figure in Washington County for her ability to bridge the gap between the Latino and American culture. It is an honor to call her a friend and more of an honor to see her work for those in need."

"As part of our employee training and development, we sent 40 employees to both Building Bridges seminars sponsored by The Special Needs Center, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin and the UW-Extension. The keynote speaker, Mary Lynn Bennett of Bilingual Skills Services LLC, addressed the topic "Building Bridges - Serving the Latinos of Our Community." Mary Lynn is an energetic and interactive presenter who encouraged questions from her audience. She is informative yet practical in her approach to cross-cultural communication between our staff and their Latino clients."

"The employees received practical strategies and cross-cultural competency information to better serve their Latino clients. Our employees felt the seminar helped them to better communicate and partner with the Latino families they were serving. I would recommend these seminars to any agency that has Latino clients."
