“I Make CEOs Better!”

April 23, 2025

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to offer my enthusiastic endorsement of Chuck Standfuss, J.D.

After years as a trusted advisor on organizational/management matters, a stellar presence in the HR world where I met Chuck, and as an attorney, Chuck has decided to bring his thinking to help others.

I have had the privilege of working with Chuck Standfuss on a book I was writing,

First of all, I can say without hesitation that Chuck is at the top of the list - a creative thinker with an insight that is rare when it comes to bringing an idea to life.

Because of his legal background, Chuck knows about how to be persuasive and knows how to help you phrase the narrative, leading to a compelling style and message.

I only have to think back to my first drafts of a book I was writing and how much they changed after Chuck reviewed what I had written and the discussions we held about both the content and style of my writing!

Chuck is dynamically personable, so be prepared as Chuck will challenge diplomatically what you have written. As he will speak his mind, that’s all to the good because, if what I’ve written wasn’t clear to Chuck and wasn’t connecting, it was clear that I wouldn’t connect with my intended audience.

Certainly Chuck is meticulous. He brings a keen eye for detail, a strong grasp of grammar and syntax, and a deep understanding of tone and clarity that elevated my writing.

Best of all, (having been trained as/accustomed to being an academic style writer),

Chuck made me re-think what I was saying – and in that process I learned how to bring life to what I was writing!

Chuck is an attentive professional—we always held phone calls when scheduled, communicating clearly, and he provided feedback with grace.

I confidently recommend Chuck Standfuss. Yes, he will do the copy editing work with and for you, but best of all know that he will always bring his best mind to your project/work/writing.

Sincerely,

Ken Tagawa, Ph.D.
