A Chancellor U colleague stated:
Stephen Clark joined the Chancellor University leadership team at a
critical time just a couple of weeks before the public launch of the
Schools Rebranding and Grand Opening events. He has a wonderful ability
to communicate effectively both in the written form and interpersonally
amongst sometimes very hectic conditions. Though my time working with
Stephen has been short, I am thankful for having met him and look
forward to any opportunity I have to work with him again.
A Wiley author stated:
As a part of the Wiley Dummies author family, I worked with Stephen on
the third edition of Grant Writing for Dummies. He is excellent in all
areas of his work as a Project Editor. Stephen was tenacious in keeping
the project on track; yet, he was compassionate in any life/death types
of delays. I looked to him to help me bring the book to a finished and
ready for publication status. Most importantly, Stephen cultivated a
lasting professional relationship with me as one of his authors. I
highly recommend Stephen for any position that requires the following
attributes: -Helping authors write right the first time! -Being honest
and forthright while still retaining the team's respect! -Practicing due
diligence in an artful and kind manner when there are author delays and
excuses that lead to missed deadlines! -Striving for perfection at every
level! Dr. Bev Browning--successful author thanks to Stephen Clark!
A Wiley colleague stated:
I had the pleasure of working with Stephen at Wiley Publishing. He's a
smart, talented, thoughtful, and detail-oriented editor, and I recommend
him highly.
An AT&T colleague stated:
Stephen was a pleasure to work with at AT&T Solutions. He is extremely
professional, hard working, customer focused and a forward thinker. He
is motivated to do his best in his professional career. He was well
respected throughout the organization as a Proposal Manager and I highly
recommend him and would gladly work with him in the future if the
opportunity should ever arise.
