Testimonials
“Your performance at my “All Managers Meeting” on June 20th really captured the audience. Your vivid yet realistic ideas on fun and recognition were definite eye openers. I have never witnessed any speaker get total audience participation as you have. You were without doubt, “just what the doctor ordered.”
IBM
“The feedback I received from the three hundred people in attendance was overwhelmingly positive. Your ability to leave the group with a message while having fun was inspiring. Your presentation indicated how important it is to incorporate fun into business. I am now a believer in the benefits!”

“Your comments underlined the basic themes of our conference – employee satisfaction, empowerment, and participation. You provided the motivation we needed, broke down barriers and was full of great ideas. Your talk was an upbeat way of delivering a great message.”

“We are currently undergoing a rapid period of growth which at times is very stressful.Your presentation was just what was needed to help change our perspective and put some humor in our lives.”
1st Nationwide Bank
“…The consensus of the feedback was extremely positive and many people have brought what they learned from you that day back into the workplace. Additionally, after you left we tackled some pretty controversial and difficult topics in our meeting. By giving you the first part of the meeting to loosen up the audience we clearly saw the return in the form of a very open dialogue and reduced tension. When we got to the Q&A section there was clearly no fear on the part of the participants in asking tough questions or sharing their deepest professional concerns. Thanks again for helping make this meeting such a big success and I look forward to working with you again in the future.”
