TESTIMONIALS

“In addition to the humor and the successful utilization of your various handicaps as a catalyst for communicating your message on attitude and opportunity, I was especially pleased that you were able to effectively communicate the real meaning of ‘Playing To Win’ with our theme ‘Quality Partnerships’.” S. Gardner, Kraft General Foods

“Moved, inspired, motivated and excited are words which more closely describe how we felt. ‘Never heard a better message’ and ‘The best speaker I ever heard’ are among the multitude of comments I’ve received.” W. Hennessy, Allstate Insurance

“Thank you for the outstanding presentations you delivered to both groups. You were consistently mentioned by each sales representative that your presentation was the best part of a three-day program!” Barbara F. Sullivan, Director of Training. Bristol-Myers Squibb

“You more than delivered on our expectations. A true measure of your impact on the event, it seemed as if every speaker that followed quoted something you said in their remarks. I also want to thank you for the effort you made to tailor your address to our audience. It was widely noticed and truly helped drive home your core message of optimism and the power of positive thinking.” Dave Howell, Vice President, Bank of America Arizona

“The feedback from the audience was overwhelmingly positive. I was quite overwhelmed myself when I walked up to the stage to thank you and saw 600 people on their feet applauding with great energy! I can’t think of a better way to end a conference.” Jeffrey L. Teucke, Vice President, AT and T Capital Corporation

“Everyone was very impressed with your wonderful presentation and I think all of us could use about an hour of you at least once a month! Mere words can’t express our appreciation, but I think the standing ovation you received will give you some idea of how everyone felt.” Michael S. Lupfer, National Sales Administration, Marriott Hotels

“To receive a standing ovation from this crowd is no easy task and to my knowledge has never been done before! Congratulations on a speech that was so well received. Thanks for making my program so professional and entertaining.” D. Thomas, McDonnell-Douglas
