Testimonials (4)

Dr. Cheryl Lentz is a fabulous publisher to work with as I wrote the Foreword for their latest volume in the award winning series: The Refractive Thinker: Vol XIII: Entrepreneurship: Growing the Future of Business. As a publisher and project manager, her skills included a terrific attention to detail and coordination of many contributing scholars across the country (as well as me!), as well as coordinating press releases and media (radio, social media). She is a wonderful example of a strong woman.
