Short Turn Around. On Time. Under Budget!
"We hired Shawntay to develop a training facilitator's guide and PowerPoint slide deck for an operations manual heavy with technical content. The project was made more challenging by a very short turn around, 5 business days, and the fact that the operations manual wasn't complete and was being updated simultaneously with the facilitator's guide and slide deck. Despite these challenges, Shawntay delivered as promised. On time and under budget."
