TESTIMONIALS

Here is what people are saying about, author, Rosie Brown and her book From Classroom to Boardroom:

30th May 2013 by Dolores Soucy, General Manager RCEE (Canadian Network of Practice Firms):

“I very much enjoyed reading your book.  It puts words to what our  daily practices in practice firms (virtual enterprises) are all about.  When looking at something from one angle, you get to see only one side of it.  We describe the practice firm as being a place, a way of learning, but  we forgot that it is also a method of teaching.  You cornered it so beautifully by one word: PRIME!  You know you enjoyed a book when you wish you could have written it: this is how I feel about this book.  Thanks for the inspiration!”

19th May 2013 by Els Daglinckx, TAFE Facilitator, TAFE NSW, Coffs Harbour:

As a teacher my job seems to be taken over with endless administrative requirements. This book made me stop in my tracks as it reminded me why I chose this profession in the first place; a passion for interacting with people and hopefully contributing positively to the life of others. It is a very easy read yet powerfully invigorating.”

Re-energise and reinvent your teaching! May 9, 2013 by Penny:

This book is entertaining (love biographies), yet educational to read. The philosphy behind the PRIME principles work, even with the most disengaged students. These principles also make me more satisfied in my teaching and less stressed trying to impart meaningful training. My students react positively to my use of these principles….very thought provoking. I recommend everyone try it to re-energise and reinvent your teaching methodologies. Well done Rosie, fabulous book.

 

5th May 2013 by Michelle Stanton, Author of “Selling in the Zone”:

“I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your gorgeous book,”From Classroom to Boardroom”, Rosie! It is informative as well as interesting, engaging and practical.  The key messages are easy to follow and the cartoons are also fabulous – really hits the mark and very funny.  I’m sure it will be a great resource for teachers and encourage them to PRIME their students for business success!  Congratulations, Rosie – you’ve done a great job!”

2nd May 2013 by Carol Neller, Business Teacher at The Heights School, SA:

“Received a copy of the book today – loved it – full of sensible, practical, usable tips, advice and information. Will help a lot of educators I’m sure..”

2nd May 2013 by Ginny Aguilar, Canberra Institute of Technology Lecturer:

“I want to congratulate you on your new book: From Classrooms to Boardroom. Lots of insights to pick up and apply. Surely, I will spread the word about how to  PRIME our students for business success.” 

30 April 2013 by Penny Hardy, Senior Business Lecturer, TAFE SA:

“An entertaining yet practical book full of inspiring ideas to re-energise my teaching.  Very entertaining to read, love the quotes and examples of learning practice – has got my mind ticking over with new ideas again!”

I wish my teachers had this book when I went to school! April 28, 2013 by Andrew Griffiths:

Whilst this book is primarily targeted at teachers, I think parents will get a great deal of value out of it. Helping prepare our kids for the entrepreneurial world is not just a good idea it is an essential idea. Rosie Brown provides many very valuable insights that are both thought provoking and realistic. A great book, with a quality teaching framework embedded into it. Congratulations Rosie.

23April 2013 by Per Wigstrom, Head of the Swedish Practice Firm Network:

19April 2013 by Andrew Griffiths, author of many small business books:

“Just been given a copy of Rosie Brown‘s book – From Classroom to Boardroom. Rosie you have done a fantastic job. I love everything about your book – from cover to cover! The cartoons are perfect and so glad you included them. So proud of you and your book. Awesome.”

Written with real integrity and honesty 16 April 2013 by C Twigg-Stewart:

“I’m not sure what I expected when I picked this book up but I didn’t expect to chuckle, learn, be inspired and more. Such an honest book. The author’s references to her own experiences and even her own family really draws the reader in. Great practical help and advice too. I’ve passed it onto my son (who is already half way through; a miracle for him) and will be recommending it most highly to as many people as possible. If only more people would teach in this way. If only I was taught in this way. Brilliant!”

15April 2013 by Iesha Delune:

“So excited that the fantastic Rosie Brown has had her book launch!! Check it out if you wish to enhance your teaching style :-)

(Also has the best contents page I’ve EVER seen and I read a lot!)”

Inspiring ideas for business teachers! 8 April 2013 by R GLENCROSS:

“A quick & easy read, full of ideas to make teaching business to students more inspiring and so better equip young people for the world of work. The theory is well-structured and brought to life with some great practical examples drawn from the author’s own experience, adding both interest and credibility. The PRIME methodology, and this book, deserve to be a great success!”

 

Fun and Engaging Read! April 7, 2013 by Stacey B:

“I thoroughly enjoyed reading Rosie Brown’s book. She writes in a very conversational tone with many useful tips to help you in the classroom to keep students engaged. Rosie explains how to set-up a real world virtual enterprise in your classroom where students can make a direct correlation between what they are learning and how it will relate to the ‘real world.’ I really recommend reading this book if you are a teacher, lecturer or student teacher.”

An amazing read! 29 Mar 2013 by MR D MANSON:

“Very informative and written in an intelligent and entertaining manner. The author has clearly done her research and knows her stuff! Would be a great asset in university and college libraries. I look forward to the next book.”
