"I am so excited to type this recommendation for Mark Ryan who was my Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt and Green Belt instructor. Mark was introduced to me by a friend who knows about my inability to afford retaking the class that I had completed with another company in 2011. Mark was willing and ready to work with me without any question asked. He is a marvelous instructor who is always ready for class with full and detailed agenda, visual explanations (PowerPoint and tools), a great listener and problem solver who communicates clearly. In Mark’s class, you better be ready to be fully engaged because there was no dull moment! He was never in a hurry to go home despite the fact that the class ends at 9:30 p.m. and he had to work the next day. As a Professor, I find his teaching styles very unique of all types of examples including life experiences. He takes your imagination into those experiences…….I always see myself being in the moment of those experiences during his teaching. Not only did I receive my certification from his class, I also adopted his teaching techniques to use with my own students.
I am highly recommending Mark Ryan for any position not only because of his teaching and leadership skills, but also because of his numerous very creative techniques and empathy for his team in ensuring a perfect result at whatever he does."

"Mark taught the Certified Lean Six Sigma (LLS) Yellow Belt course through WorkOne. As a student, I was able to certify my skills in understanding the basic tools and knowledge for LSS. While Mark's primary knowledge is in the automotive industry, he supplied the class with ample opportunities to transfer the knowledge to other industries making it beneficial for all. The class participated in several projects from value stream mapping to a fishbone analysis. As a learning professional, I am always looking for things to add to my toolbox. The peanut butter and jelly exercise was "spot on" for teaching about the Standardized Operating Worksheet."

"I recently took a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt class with Mark as my instructor and found him to be extremely knowledgeable on LSS in all areas. He is professional, thorough, a great instructor and passionate about this process and helping others to understand and execute the same techniques. I highly recommend Mark and his instruction to anyone wanting to better their careers and learn more about Six Sigma. Mark is certified in this area and is well worth contacting and utilizing on your career path or if you are a company or organization in need of someone with these skills and his passion."

"Mark was an excellent instructor for the LSSYB class he led. As one of Mark's student's, and someone who has seen many instructors, he was committed, effective, efficient, fun, engaging, and completely knowledgeable of the LSS process.

His class was informative, yet interactive, with projects for value stream mapping and process analysis. He was very thorough in his discussions and had great PowerPoint presentations with many examples. It was obvious he was very well prepared. He had many materials needed for the many examples he presented and for the class projects. Mark definitely knows his subject matter here and was always open to questions and working with the class... Thank you, Mark!"

Tiffany C. Hatfield, MA, LSS Director of Foundation and Corporate Giving at YMCA of Greater Indianapolis November 7, 2014

"Mark led an excellent class to earn a yellow belt in Lean Six Sigma. His attention to the many terms and definitions we learned, the opportunity to practice hands-on, and interact with fellow students on teams and as a whole, were a strong combination to learn and internalize the information. I'm very glad for the opportunity to take this class, and look forward to advancing in Lean Six Sigma."
