Mr. Barry Fine LETTER 4-19: NETWORKING—TRAINING
Director of Training
United Manufacturing Company
5200 Milton Park
Lincoln, NE 09876
Dear Barry:
What a thrill it was to participate in your Productivity Seminar last week. My
congratulations on a highly informative and very entertaining presentation. I am
quite certain that if my department placed as much emphasis on our clients’
perceptions as you do on presentation materials, we would be far more
productive!
This is exactly what leads me to write to you. Observing you in action
reminded me of my past life in training. Through repeated promotions, I have
been elevated away from my real loves: instructing, encouraging, identifying, and
then developing potential among bright, eager minds. I guess the more I crunch
numbers, the more I lose sight of the people producing them, and it’s been long
enough.
Barry, before I leap, I should make sure there’s water in the pool, so to speak.
Here’s the deal: I buy you lunch, you endow me with your view of the training
game. I would really be grateful to hear your views. I’ll give you a call next week
to see whether you can make the time for me.
And thanks again for a stirring presentation.
Best,

Shirl Rebrussin
