"THE SUCCESS
TEAM, BARBARA SHER'S BRAINSTORM,
IS EVERYTHING YOUR FAMILY SHOULD HAVE BEEN
AND PROBABLY WASN'T"
Mademoiselle:
"It is the teams that distinguish this program
from the rest. They carry the Success Teams system
beyond apparently similar time-managment courses,
creativity-training seminars and positive-thinking
programs that furnish their participants with
all sorts of good ideas and techniques, then turn
them loose to struggle on -- and often fall flat
on their faces -- alone. The Success Team, Barbara
Sher's brainstorm, is everything your family should
have been and probably wasn't."
The Chicago Sun Times:
"With the team you've got the kind of machinery
that keeps going whether you are on or off...This
makes Sher's system different from all the other
assertiveness and success seminars floating around
practising versions of pop psychology."
Viva:
"...The Success Teams system offers an individually
tailored goal-defining experience that is no more
like today's typical, banal career seminar than
pink is like scarlet. If we want big things for
ourselves but are unsure of what these things
are or how to acquire them, Barbara Sher offers
answers."
The New York Times:
"...With the team on your side it makes sense
to shoot for the big stakes--and in practice it
seems to work, judging by talks with members on
the teams now operating."
The Boston Phoenix:
"...The Success Teams seminar trains people
to set goals for themselves and guides them through
the thorny process of achievement. They learn
no-nonsense techniques--flow charts, diagrams
of time and plans and accountability systems."
New Woman:
"The purpose is also to be a resource bank
to each other--a purpose brilliantly demonstrated
by the sparks that fly and the connections that
click in the seminar as a whole."
The Chicago Reader:
"The most valuable part of the program, the
concept that is unique to Sher's system, is the
network of helping hands...It's refreshing to
see people leading cheers for each other, and
that enthusiasm can be infectious."
The Village Voice:
"...a psychic block party. Success Teams
work."
