I want to thank you for getting our annual conference off to such a terrific start! When this happens, it carries the remainder of the event. Our members were so happy with this year’s conference, I had to use cold packs on my back for two days to get the swelling down from being patted so often!!!

Since then, I’ve received numerous phone calls from the managers expressing their gratitude (which is not something they routinely do, by the way). They were very appreciative that you took the time to learn about the unique issues and challenges they face and pleased that they were given concrete skills and strategies they could immediately apply.”

“Your message couldn’t have been better tailored for our group of 1,200 staff. The glowing feedback has stopped pouring in! I think you’ll be glad to know that while your humor was greatly appreciated, your message was also clearly communicated. I’ve received several emails that end with “be safe out there” and witnessed many staff using your turn-it-around gesture. Staff have called the morning “the best opening day ever.” Your energy, enthusiasm, and genuine positive attitude concerning all of our learners was a pleasure to share. Thank you, from all of us!”
