"David is a highly talented instructor who has taught basic to advanced levels of Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint workshops for 10+ years to Executive MBA students at the Rotman School of Management. He is well experienced in teaching students how to organize data, build charts, create formulas and functions, produce pivot tables and pivot charts for data analysis, and form presentations. His insights on features and techniques and other productivity-boosting tricks has been invaluable. David has consistently delivered high quality workshops and has steadfastly committed to reacting quickly to the needs of the students.
David has also provided exceptional service for special projects that required his keen familiarity on important concepts. I highly recommend him because of his professional excellence, depth of experience, and his creative responsiveness. It has been a pleasure working with such an perceptive and motivated professional." |

"I first met David at a professional development course for the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario. The morning session was on infographics and the afternoon session was on dashboards. The course itself appeared interesting and I needed to expand my knowledge of both of these topics for upcoming projects. In retrospect, this course not only met my immediate needs but I have used the information that I learned that day on multiple occasions. David’s teaching style made it very easy to learn new concepts. He has a unique ability to ensure that everyone understands the concepts he is teaching and feel comfortable asking questions or asking him to go over the steps again. David is very focused on ensuring that participants actually learn how to build the infographics and dashboards rather than just presenting the information and hoping they will remember.
David’s course was so beneficial that I have subsequently arranged for David to come to my organization to train a number of our staff on the same topics I learned through the CPA course. With the provision of some existing documents that were much in need of improvement, David customized the in-house course with information that was meaningful and easy to understand. While the course was largely focused on infographics, with a few Excel power users in the audience, David also entertained (and answered) a number of questions about advanced Excel techniques. We have since brought David back to our organization for an MS Project training session and I expect David will be back again in the near future for additional training with our organization. I would have no hesitation in recommending David for your training needs on the Microsoft office suite of products." |

"I have had the pleasure of working with David in order to identify many area of opportunity within our business. The unique combination of hands-on experience and analytical tools that DHE Consulting possesses makes it easy to identify gaps and subsequently build training plans and road-maps to close those gaps."

"Our organization has used DHE Consulting services since 2012 and we have found their instruction to be practical, accessible and extremely cost effective. We had engaged other firms for Excel training previously, however have found our experience with DHE far superior. David is an extremely knowledgeable instructor with a unique ability to simplify very complex excel functions for learners at every level. There was no Excel or Powerpoint question presented that he was unable to answer. He had participants from Junior Administrators to Sr. Directors take examples of their current work tasks and showed them how to use Excel to simplify their work. Dave’s support of our associates extended beyond the classroom. He provided our associates with reference sheets that they use well beyond the course and was available to answer any questions by email. For this reason we consider Dave to be more than an instructor. He is a business partner.
I highly recommend DHE Consulting services to any organization that is looking to develop the excel acumen of their employees and to support their employees in creating efficiencies using the Microsoft Office suite." |

"The University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management has been using DHE Consulting to provide Data Analysis and Business Modeling workshops to our incoming Full-Time MBA students for the past 10 years. The workshops have aided in providing students with the fundamental Excel analytics knowledge required during the first year curriculum. Working with David Elsner has been a pleasure, and students have consistently provided him with high ratings on both content and delivery. "

"DHE Consulting has played an instrumental role in increasing the capacity and productivity of my department, yielding rightsizing of the department and reduction in Operating Expenses. With his subject matter expertise, effective communication style and engaging teaching method, I brought David onboard for a customized excel training session. All of the attendees, with a large variation in expertise, ranging from beginner to advanced, found the session value-adding. Since the training, my team leverages larger data sets, as large as 2.5M rows of data, and generates more relevant insights, enabling me to proactively make leadership decisions in almost real-time. I will definitely reutilize DHE Consulting's service offerings."

"This is the second opportunity I’ve had to work with David and DHE Consulting. In both instances I was impressed with David’s professionalism, knowledge and flexibility, which is important to an organization like ours. David’s enthusiasm, approach and ability to teach individuals at various levels all while customizing not only the content but the learning experience is exceptional. I would not hesitate to leverage David and his expertise for our future learning needs."

"DHE Consulting has provided our finance team with excellent intermediate to advance Excel training. The training we received was relevant, extremely useful and valuable. The classes were taught in a way that were easy to follow, despite learning fairly complex equations and functions, very engaging, and packed with content. A hands-on format is used to walk participants through the steps to create a finished spreadsheet report. In our case, we created some dash board reports. The teaching material is a handy reference after the course, that you can easily follow to re-create the same or similar reports. We will continue to use DHE Consulting for our Excel training. Every member on the finance team is eager to do more of this training as they found it so valuable in enhancing their excel skills which has had a direct and positive impact on their work."

"As part of my current Executive MBA program at the Rotman School of Management, I had the opportunity to attend the training sessions from David Elsner on Excel and PowerPoint. I must say that they were absolutely phenomenal, valuable and useful! Not only was I able to realize the full potential of both applications thanks to David’s knowledge and expertise on the topic, but most importantly he has a special gift to deliver, in a clear and concise way, the features that are relevant for executives who need to make quick decisions in the corporate environment. I was able to apply his lessons next day at work and shared those lessons with my peers. If you are planning to attend high level education, or you have high demanding jobs, that require a well-defined decision-making process and the ability to deliver a clear message to your audience, then DHE Consulting's training is a must for you!"

"DHE Consulting delivered three ‘Infographics & Strategic Dashboards’ training sessions over the course of a few months. The entire process was efficient and effective, as David revisited the course content based on feedback received after each session, and tweaked the approach as necessary. David was very timely in his responses and was very customer-focused in his willingness to receive the feedback and incorporate it into the training. Course feedback showed that David was very patient, organized, good at communicating and kept the class engaged and interested."
