“As a former student of yours, on several occasions, I participated in many of the seminars you presented to Los Angeles County on both leadership principles and customer service programs. Believe me, when I report that the senior management officials, who participated with me in these classes, were of the same mind as I was. Together, we found them informative, participative, inspirational, and comforting. Your preparation, knowledge and presentation techniques amaze me.
…After participating in several of your seminars as a student, I had the further pleasure of participating in the Customer Service Programs with you as a fellow-presenter. In fact, I would really like all of America to know that I shared the rostrum with you on September 11, 2001. You were the strong one and you responded perfectly. You delivered while the rest of us were disoriented. Once you make a commitment, you really complete the job. Based on my personal observations, I personally think you are one of the most courageous persons I know.“
—James T. Austin, Division Manager, Contract Administration Division, Internal Services Department, Los Angeles County
“What a presentation you gave to our Chamber a few weeks ago! You certainly wowed the audience with a talk that hit home with our Chamber members—how teams can be that critical competitive edge in the marketplace. Many people commented that they enjoyed your session. Indeed, one woman said, ‘I could listen to her voice all day long.’ I appreciated your energetic and dynamic presentation style, your focus on getting us, as an audience, involved and learning together, and the ways you got us to identify and learn about different communication styles
…I was also impressed with your commitment to quality and excellence throughout our partnership. You were not interested in giving us a ‘canned’ speech—you made sure that you did research on the audience and it showed! Your flexibility sure make you an easy partner to work with! I would highly recommend you to any client who desires a quality training session or key note speaking event delivered by a professional in the business—who provides real take-home value.”
