-David S., Manager, Stanford School of Medicine

“I have worked with hundreds of the finest trainers throughout the world. Your presentation is definitely in the top 10% of what I have seen.

-Robert C., Global Chief Learning Officer, Human Resources, GE Healthcare

I intend to implement all of the tools in my professional and personal life.”
-A federal district court judge (anonymous as required by law)

“We are a German company with mostly engineers in our workforce. They are a demanding audience when it comes to training and a tough crowd. This training has been very well-received and highly-rated here by our employees, much more than we anticipated. I was surprised at how many people signed up for this session. We only have about 300 employees here in the Detroit area, and more than a third have attended your sessions over the past year. I recommend this training highly.”
-Becky Fureigh, Senior Manager Human Resources, Durr Systems

-Mark Hyde, Director Human Resources, Hyatt Sainte Claire

What I didn’t tell you (I didn’t want to raise your stress level) is that the group of 60 managers you trained are all veteran educators who have a definite “show me” attitude when it comes to staff development. They do staff development for a living…a very tough audience. Well, the reviews are in and you guys were an absolute hit. Yours was the highest rated workshop we’ve ever had. Many participants told me it was the most valuable training they had ever experienced.
-Tom Fitzpatrick, Assistant to the Superintendent,
San Mateo County Office of Education

“Thank you for your excellent presentation. Yours was the most popular program of the thirty sessions offered at our annual Leadership Conference.”

One of our tenured senior staff members shared that this was the best session she has participated in during her 20 years, in terms of personal and professional impact. I appreciated how willing you were to help our people gain insights, and to patiently listen to and answer their questions. The tools and concepts you and David provided will go a long way in strengthening us personally and as an organization.”
-Sheree Chiang, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, American Heart Association

“This was the first time we attempted any training of this type at our week-long annual Management Conference, and my apprehension at trying it out on this no-nonsense crowd was great. However, about 60 seconds into your training, my apprehension disappeared along with my stress! Thank you for your lively and engaging training. We found it very effective and enjoyable. I recommend it highly.”
-Lieutenant Commander Todd A. Bridgeman, NOAA Deputy Chief of Operations, NOAA Marine Operations Center-Pacific

“Thank you for presenting at our chapter’s annual educational conference this year. It was a terrific program. The evaluations were all excellent, and people were buzzing about the ideas you shared for a long time afterward. You have a wonderful way of connecting meaningfully with your audience. Anyone working in the law firm environment (or any other high stress workplace) would benefit greatly from your program.”
-Karin Wiborn, Executive Director, Archer Norris, on behalf of the East Bay ALA (Association of Legal Administrators)

“Thank you for the outstanding presentation you provided at our annual leadership conference in Palm Springs. In this challenging economic environment of doing more with less while still striving to remain relevant and competitive, it is very easy to overlook something as important as our own well-being. During one of the exercises, I will never forget looking around the room and watching over 70 of our most important leaders as they participated. You never know how well a presentation will be received, and I was pleased to see them all taking it very seriously, truly learning how to incorporate this into their daily lives. I certainly know that I will.”
-Randy Peterson, CEO/President, HMC Architects

“You did a terrific job at our 4th annual conference. They loved everything you taught them. As a meeting planner, I especially enjoyed working with you.

-Elizabeth Macisco, Event Director, Washoe Health Systems, Reno

“Your program for our annual conference was awesome! Extremely engaging, helpful and effective. People had reductions in pain and physical tension after just one short period of exercises. It’s a perfect program for an off-site meeting. You are performing a great service.”
-Gina Thomas, Chief Information Office/Business & Investment Branch, U.S. Forest Service
