Accredited CLE Programs - Rave Reviews

DavidWoodsHi, my name is David Woods. I am an attorney in O’Fallon, Missouri.

Before I attended a Continuing Legal Education Class put on by Cindy, I was struggling to understand the rules of social media. As I started to look for a solution, I was worried that I would create a website that would violate the Missouri Ethical Standards. Cindy, though, equipped me to understand how to comply with those rules.

Cindy has also introduced me to a concept called the “Ideal Week”. With that tool, I have been able to take charge of my professional life. Now I can arrange my week, or at least plan it to the best I can, so that I can make the best use of my work time. I can then spend more time with my family. You see, I am very con?dent using the tools that Cindy has taught me - that’s because they work. Cindy’s teachings are fun, they’re educational and they are also very entertaining. I would recommend Cynthia Sharp for any program that she would present to you.

Thanks for listening to me.

GaryBorgerI'm Gary Borger and I'm the senior attorney with Borger Jones Matez and Keeley-Cain in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, a boutique family law practice. I've been in private practice over 34 years and I've had the opportunity over the past year to attend three seminars presented by Cindy Sharp of The Sharper Lawyer. I have found Cindy to be a dynamic speaker, very clear in her presentations, having honed her material to what attorneys need to hear - a very focused and well organized presentation that certainly holds your interest during the course of the seminar. I highly recommend her for your organization whether it be your firm or for you personally to attend. It's well worth the money.

Cynthia is amazing - brilliant & entertaining & beautiful.

– Jane A. Lorber, Attorney at Law

I recently attended a MOBAR CLE program taught by Cindy Sharp. Cindy gave us many tools to use to enhance and improve our ability to market our law practice. As she continued her presentation, I realized that she was doing more than just imparting information. Cindy was coaching us. Do not miss the significance that she was coaching us and not just teaching us. Cindy was coaching us to be better marketers.

As Cindy was showing us the specific tool of how to plan our ideal week, I realized that she was doing more than teaching us how to communicate the value of what we do for our clients. Cindy was coaching us that our clients want to have a great experience with us as their lawyer. Cindy was coaching us that we should develop a culture of communication with each client. Cindy was coaching us to deliver value to our clients. She said that our clients will remember how we made them feel. She said we should treat each estate planning client as if they were our mother and father.

The ideal week planning tool was one of many tools she gave to us. In addition to the tools given, she cared about us and wanted us to become better attorneys by becoming better organized and better at delivered our marketing message. Cindy also gave her time to us outside of the seminar. She was encouraging to and interested in us.

I recommend attending any seminar at which she is coaching. Thank you Cindy.

I have had the opportunity and pleasure of working with Cynthia Sharp for the first time this past winter when she presented her seminars for The Missouri Bar. She presented two programs in both St. Louis and Kansas City. Take Charge of Your Life (Personal & Professional) and The Ethics of Legal Marketing in a Social Media Environment were extremely well-received by our members.

Cindy's outstanding presentation style and substance at our continuing legal education programs was certainly a welcomed addition for our attendees. Not only doesshe know her topic — but her delivery is very engaging. Cindy is obviously very motivated about the issues she discusses. Based on the seminar evaluations, her presentation was "excellent and practical." She was very well prepared and gave targeted examples when explaining the rules and the practice of law. One particular registrant enjoyed her "style — walking, hand motions, voice inflections" and was amazed at how she kept going. There is no doubt that our members were well-served by her knowledge and expertise. The Missouri Bar CLE staff was pleased to work with Cindy. It was very nice to see that she had no trouble keeping our attorneys' attention focused on what she was teaching. Her professionalism is evident by her commitment to planning, preparation of her materials, and her seamless delivery.

I highly recommend Cynthia Sharp to any organization looking for a speaker who provides entertainment and thoughtful exploration of these specific practice management topics. There is no doubt that she will be invited back to enlighten and educate Missouri lawyers.

– Delores L. Shepherd, Director of CLE Programs, The Missouri Bar

I’ve attended several of Cindy’s programs and they are always well researched, well prepared and well presented. She is thoroughly professional and informative.

– Jack Fleming, Attorney at Law

Thank you for lecturing for the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education. Over the last 20 years, you have spoken for us on numerous elder topics including tax aspects of elder law, guardianship, Medicaid and will contests.

In the last few years, you have branched out, joining panels covering such diverse topics as power strategies for profitable law firms and, at our First Annual Women's Bench Bar Conference, you lectured on important issues female attorneys face in today's society.

Like a bottle of fine wine, you keep getting better, as attendee reviews can attest. You continue to be highly rated by your audience. You are also a pleasure to work with as you consistently submit quality accompanying materials in a timely fashion.

My only regret is having to share with you bar associations and law schools across the country. But I guess it's only right that the rest of the nation's lawyers see what New Jersey attorneys have enjoyed for years – a quality entertaining speaker focused on making us better practitioners. Good luck with your speaking career!

KaraEdensI just wanted to say thank you for putting together a terrific program for the Burlington County Bar Association. From the moment I received your outline, I knew it would be an excellent seminar. Judging from the amount of positive evaluations I received from the attendees, I'd venture to say they agree. We'd be happy to have you back as a presenter for the BCBA!

– Kara Edens, Executive Director, Burlington County Bar Association (NJ)

MarcGarfinkleCynthia Sharp brings to CLE a youthful viewpoint and a journeyman's trunk full of experience. She is a sharp attorney, a sharp business-woman, a sharp dresser, a sharp talker, and a sharp-shooter with her ever-sharper legal education programs. Her energy rivets the audience and her natural humor makes the time entertaining as well as instructive. She loves what she does, and it shows.

– Marc D. Garfinkle, Attorney at Law

GaryBorgerI have lectured for The Sharper Lawyer, Cynthia's continuing legal education company. Having known Cynthia for the past 30 years, I can attest to her experience, background, intelligence and discipline to assist others in their professional development. Her courses are well-structured and informative and provide value for the CLE dollars spent, whether in substantive legal areas or in practice development and individual professional development. Dollars spend for Cynthia's programs are dollars well spent!

JoeMarovichCynthia is a dynamo with groups. She holds their attention for every minute and intersperses stories to illustrate her points. She adds humor, answers questions, is incredibly generous with her time, and one of the most knowledgeable presenters I've ever had in my classroom. The students repeatedly recommend her, as I do. Your choice of Cynthia will be seen as "the best."

Cynthia is a great people person who is detail oriented. She works for and gets the best results for her original classes.

Take Charge! was one of the best seminars I've attended. I thought I was just coming for CLE credits but certainly got more out of it than I expected. Thank you.

GregDeMicheleI recently attended Cindy's seminar on Take Charge of Your Life Both Personally and Professionally. The seminar was great. I really learned a lot. For me, I really learned a lot on how to grow and develop my practice. Not only was it a great seminar to attend once, but it is something that I am planning on attending every year to help me refocus my marketing efforts. I can focus on my clients that I have now and gain more clients. Not just gaining more clients, but what I would call quality clients. It is a seminar that I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to enhance their practice and it's something that I plan on attending on a yearly basis. It's almost as if you have your own personal life and professional coach.

Cynthia has the unique ability to deliver important, useful and informative material while being entertaining at the same time. Her enthusiasm for her topic (whatever it may be) is contagious and she makes learning fun and interesting while getting her message across to the audience.

We continue to ask her back because seminar attendees consistently give her the highest ratings on their evaluation forms. They not only learn extensively from the content of her presentation and written material but also enjoy her delivery style, since Cynthia's passion for her subject is obvious.

CathyPisciottaHi, my name is Cathy Pisciotta. I have been an attorney for more than 20 years and have had the honor of seeing Cindy speak on many occasions. Today, I saw her again and I didn’t think she would have anything new to teach me. Guess what? Unbelievably cutting edge topics! I thought I knew about cutting edge topics in the area of technology as it applies to my practice as a lawyer. She taught me so much that I don’t even know where to start to implement some of the things that she suggested. So, Cindy, you managed to do it again! God bless you! Keep doing it please, we need you! Thanks Cindy!
